The figure remained strangely silent as though wondering why davud was acting carelessly.
In this jungle, even the smallest beast could prove dangerous not to talk about the myriads of strange lifeforms out there.
One must always be on guard no matter what. At least that was what figure thought but David's carelessness seem to prove otherwise. He was acting as though this was his playground, his backyard.
She couldn't figure out if he was actually stupid or just simply too brave but if he ass this stupid, how dis he survive the first day? Also, the second day was about to be over.
Taking in a breath, the figure casually spoke "It's been quite a while David." resting on a large rock not far away from them.
David's eyes abruptly flew open and his gaze sharpened but hse imdiately sat up and smiled. "Phyl! I didn't expect to see you here."
'So the tiger finally revealed her fangs' he chuckled coldly in his mind.
Phyllida was wearing a cloack which covered her whole body but still couldn't hide her enticing curves. But what made David brow furrow was the fact that she had a very familiar helt covering her face.
The helt was so thin that one might misplace it for a face mask but David knew better, it was the helt that ca with the Combat Suit. His curiosity was instantly peaked.
Phyllida's facial expression was dull but it was hidden beneath the helt, she responded "Hmm, I ca here specifically to talk with you about so sensitive matters."
David tilted his head and scratched the area beneath his chin with a confused expression. "This late at night, couldn't you have waited till tomorrow?"
Phyllida frowned under her helt. She was getting rather impatient, if it weren't for te fact that she was a bit tired, she would have directly captured him.
Phyllida shook her head slightly. "No, I couldn't keep waiting, I have waited long enough and have wasted that man's ti already, he is getting impatient for answers."
David blinked his eyed curiously as he muttered 'Now that's interesting.'
"Uh? What matter could be so important that it couldn't wait? And what man are you talking about? Can you just explain to clearly. " his expression was innocent and he appeared genuinely confused as to what Phyllida was talking about.
"I will tell you if you answer so of my questions." She seem to want to make a small trade of information
David nodded without hesitation. "Ask away, I will make sure to answer your questions to the best of my abilities." he was also curious as to what Phyllida wamted from him and why she was so interested in him.
At the very beginning, he had been a little weary of her as he had sensed that she was a very strong person and had intentionally or unintentionally avoided her. Now, he will get to know why she had been interested in him since the they t.
"When you her the word 'Griffin' what cos to your mind." as she said this, she imdiately activated the Ultravision feature installed in her helt.
The Ultravision feature accurately enlarges the vision of the user while also, places emphasis on the details, enhancing and enlarging the image seen by the user by almost two tis. But such things aren't really practical in battle instead, it would be a huge indrance as one's vision would be limited to a limited area.
It was practically the sa as fighting with an enhanced scope.
Activating the program, she instantly fuclxed her gaze on David's face, scrutinising every shake and tremble of the flesh on his face.
As soon as David heard the words, a confused expression instantly graced his face and he replied in a peculiar tone. "It is nice?" but his heart instantly turned cold and he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had ssed up big ti.
He still couldn't comprehend how a single statent he had whispered to himself could put him in so much trouble. In fact, he had only known about the fact that nas of legendary creatures, and details about them are severely hidden from the public.
It was to the extent that it was sort of a taboo for soone to ntion their nas and that was of they even know of what they were saying. Only a few powerful individuals had s little bit of knowledge regarding such beasts.
The main reason for that was because, once one reaches the Phaser stage, one would then have the ability to rge with different genes from different beast.
For example, a Phaser could purchase a genetic serum from the institute that grants evolves his body, and gradually produce retractable scales that are extrely tough and tough as tal alloy and almost impenetrable to ordinary bullets all over the body, even including the eyelids.
Such serum could be injected directly into the body and after so series of complicated processes, the ability would finally beco part of the body of the phaser. And whentye phaser reaches a level where he could inject another serum into himself, he could proceed to do so until finally, his potential had been exhausted or finally building a beast body, following the genetic map of the beast chosen. He would then have the ability to phase direct to the beast, granting him or her almost the sa ability as the beast he had genetically followed.
Naturally, David knew so of this, and he knew soone must have heard him whispered that day. Although he tried to figure out who it was and naturally, Nihyuh ca to mind but David shook his head as he did away with the possibility.
Nihyuh wouldnt have heard what he said. And as he rembered, he whispered to himself, he didn't even shout. So how the hell did soone still heard him say the words Griffin? He was at a loss but his facial expression was normal, giving absolutely nothing away.
Phyllida remained strangely silent for almost thirty seconds, seemingly doing nothing but deep with the dark helt, her eyes squinted like mad and red veins seem to appear on them, she was abusing them.
Although the program ca from the Combat Suit, it was still her eyes she was using to witness it, hence the redness.
Suddenly, Phyllida retracted her gaze and imdiately turned off the program as though she had found what she was looking for.
'His eyebrows trembled! Although almost imperceptibly, it still tremble. It confirms that he know what I'm talking about.'
All of a sudden, Phyllida chuckled to herself loudly "Let's make a deal David. I want every single information you know about the Griffin. Every little detail, from its habits, its shape, its temperant, what it likes to eat and many other things as well."
David still maintained his confused expression and he frowned. "What are you talking about? Who is this Griffin you are talking about? And what does this have to do with anyway?" David questioned with a slightly deeper voice. He crossed his arms slowly. He wasn't a fool and knew that the mont he admitted to it, he would imdiately be in a huge trouble that he would be unable to save himself from.
Even if he dealt with the girl in front of him and dispose of her, that action was simply admitting it to the person who sent her in the dark. And by then, the trouble would multiply.
If what Phyllida said was true,, that person could just pull so strings and find out about how he dealt with her. He wasn't going to fall for this, he was going to deny it to the end. That was his plan.
"He he, I knew you would easily confess. Let tell you this, I have been sent by soone incredibly powerful. Soone you can afford to escape from. Even if I sohow fail to extract the information from you, it would be useless as another persom would replace .
So I advice you to give up the aningless trouble and tell what I want to know or thing will get pretty ugly." she wasn't afraid of telling David this much information. In her mind, David was just an idiot with a gold treasure at hand. He wasn't all that smart, although strong, she was certain she could beat hi one hand.
All in all, David was just like the poor farr who dug out gold but wasn't there a saying about them getting killed due to them having such precious jewel and the jealousy of others.
She shook her head slightly as she continue. "Think about this throughly and don't act recklessly."
David's gaze remained locked in confusion "I honestly don't know what you are talking about Phyl. Who would have sent you here for anyway? I honestly think you got the wrong person. " his expression appears innocent as a new born baby.
But Phyllida instantly snorted and her figure faded in an instant.. Her voice, seemingly appearing out of nowhere "You leave no choice then."
