The Author's POV Chapter 451 - slumber [3]

Chapter 451 - slumber [3]

"Who else should I call next?"

Looking through his communication device, Kevin contemplated on who to call next. Now that he had called Melissa, he needed to think of who to call next.

There were multiple people that he wanted to call, but since he was pressed for time, he needed to decide on who to prioritize.

Scrolling through his contacts, his finger paused on a certain name, [Octavious Hall]

'Should I inform Octavious?'

Kevin's relationship with Octavious wasn't very close. In fact, Kevin had barely talked to him.

If there was anyone that could help him, it was him. Being the leader of the biggest organization in the human domain, he definitely had the resources and knowledge to be able to find a solution for Ren's situation.

Moreover, since his daughter was coming here, and a future prospect of humanity was in danger, there was a possibility of him possibly helping.

'No, this won't work.'

But after thinking about it for a short while, Kevin proceeded to shake his head.

Kevin may have not known him for a long time, however, from what he knew, Octavious was a pragmatic man. Meaning that if he chose to help Ren, he would expect something in return. In the most likely scenario, he was going to force Ren to join the Union which was something that Kevin knew Ren would absolutely loathe.

Furthermore, now that Ren was injured, and now that he knew that he was 876, there was also the possibility of him handing him over to the Monolith.

If he judged that Ren couldn't be of any use, he would simply follow through with the deal with the Monolith, and Kevin couldn't allow for such a scenario to occur.

Therefore, he quickly discarded the notion of informing Octavious of the situation.

"d.a.m.n it, who should I call?"

He wanted to call Monica and Donna. If the two of them had been here they would've most likely been able to find a solution, but for some unknown reason, the two of them had returned to the human domain.

Scratching the side of his head, Kevin continued to scroll through his list, and just as he was about to press on a random contact, a cold voice sounded from behind him, startling him completely.

"Call the Amanda girl."

"Who!?"

Kevin's head snapped in the direction of where the voice came from.

The moment his head snapped in the direction of where the voice came from, the first thing he saw was a familiar black cat jumping down from a tall cabinet.

"You."

Kevin was instantly able to recognize the cat. It was none other than the demon that accompanied Ren. His wariness toned down a notch.

Although she was a demon, he knew that she was contracted to him through a mana contract and as such also knew that she didn't mean any harm.

Softly landing on the ground, the demon, or as of right now, cat slowly moved in Kevin's direction.

As she moved, the cat's bright yellow eyes gazed in Ren's direction. Pausing a couple of meters away from Ren who was still spasming on the bed, she softly said.

"If you want to call someone, you must call Amanda. She may be able to help...or should I say, the people that she can ask help from can help."

"Amanda?"

Kevin asked in a confused voice.

Shua—

Black smoke suddenly diffused in the air as a cold and enchanting figure suddenly materialized before Kevin. With long black hair cascading down her shoulders, Angelica's delicate brows locked into a tight frown.

Glancing in Kevin's direction, she repeated.

"The only person that can truly help Ren at the moment would be Amanda. Tell her the truth, and that Ren is currently on the verge of dying. She will know what to do next."

Listening to Angelica's words, Kevin had many things that he wanted to ask, but after realizing just how serious the situation was, he could only comply with her words and turned his attention back towards his communication device and did as Angelica told him and called Amanda.

"Make sure you tell Amanda to bring the people next to her."

Angelica added as she watched Kevin call Amanda.

"...Okay."

Though confused by the sudden request, Kevin nodded his head.

Riiiing— Riiiing—

As he was calling her, Kevin turned to look at Ren. Worry flashed across his face as he thought.

'd.a.m.n it, why do you always do this kind of s.h.i.t.'

***

Fifteen hours had pa.s.sed ever since her mother woke up.

Because it was almost early in the morning when her mother woke up, Amanda who was understandably quite tired, headed back to her dorm to sleep before going back to the queen's quarters to meet her mother.

She may not have spent a lot of time with her mother, but Amanda was not uncomfortable with her.

Amanda wasn't one to like physical touch much, and therefore loathed it when other people tried to touch her except for a select few, but somehow she was unable to feel any repulsion coming from her mother when she hugged her yesterday.

Understanding her backstory and their familial blood ties, in her heart, Amanda had already accepted her as her mother.

At the moment, she was accompanying her mother and Maylin for dinner.

Seated on a large wooden table covered in a long white cloth, a mult.i.tude of succulent food appeared before Amanda. Staring at the food, Amanda had trouble selecting what she wanted. In the end, she settled for a crystal clear grape.

Plucking the grape away from the pedicel, Amanda brought the grape to her mouth and ate it. The moment she bit onto the grape, Amanda's cheeks sunk as the juices coming from the fruit exploded in her mouth like a waterfall.

"Say, I'm still curious about something."

Snapping her out of her thoughts was the sound of her mother's voice.

"Yes?"

Waiting for her mother to continue, Amanda tilted her head. Her mouth was still watering from the grape.

"...About the thing that you used to cure me, how was the boy able to get it?"

Hearing her mother's comment, Amanda's brows knit.

Actually, she had also wondered where Ren had gotten the fruit from. Because she trusted him, she never once questioned the validity of the fruit, but that didn't mean that she wasn't curious.

She naturally understood that everyone had their own secrets and that was why she never pressed for an answer, but if she said that she wasn't curious that would be a lie.

"I don't know."

Amanda eventually answered.

Placing her hand over her chin, Natasha muttered.

"I see. You must really trust that boy to not have questioned if the fruit was valid or not."

"...I do."

Amanda nodded her head.

From the moment that Ren had presented the fruit to her, Amanda had not once doubted the validity of his words.

She had seen him do the craziest stuff and have even survived an explosion that put ranks to shame. Furthermore, he didn't really have a reason to lie to her.
