Chapter 395 Good Chemistry?
Although Alice and Isla were surprised by the sudden arrival, they were not strangers so it made no difference, although Isla felt a little out of place.
Stay tuned to empire
The people present were of really high status. Alice and Sophia were Heiresses with Destiny, known worldwide. While Emma Lewis was the daughter of the current Dark King.
Such statuses were respected far and wide, which made her feel out of place. At another time, she would feel so anxious and out of place that she might stare at the floor all the time, but Matt knew that, so he hugged her a little to keep her from feeling so out of place.
When Sophia and Emma tasted the tea, they were delighted and fascinated by its flavor.
"I never imagined such a tea could exist. Could it be the most delicious tea in this world? Despite the fact that I have tasted many types of tea in different parts of the world, I have never tasted anything like this." Sophia said in amazement.
Emma Lewis agreed with her but said nothing. Her manner was not the type to love tea, so she didn't tend to drink much of it. She simply enjoyed the tea that went into her mouth, which was very good.
Matt smiled, "Well, this tea will help you think better as it relaxes your tense muscles. Or so they say."
Sophia nodded slightly and focused on enjoying the taste with her eyes closed.
That made silence reign over the place for a while until the newcomers finished their tea.
It was then that Matt opened his mouth.
"Still, I really didn't expect Miss Sophia to be so interesting. I didn't expect you to attack all those guys head-on and in a place like that." Matt said, causing Sophia to smile a little and look up at him.
"Do you think it was wrong?" She asked, and Matt smiled.
"Did you see my answer yet?" he asked, and she shrugged.
"That answer I saw, it hasn't come out of your mouth at the time it should. That's what makes me interested in you. I've never had that happen before in everyone I've ever seen." She replied, causing Matt to shrug his shoulders as well so as to avoid the conversation.
Their short conversation was a little strange. It was as if they were arguing in a polite way.
But the words they were saying...
"What do they mean?" Emma and Alice asked almost at the same time.
The fact that they didn't understand reaffirmed Sophia's position, so she looked intently at Matt.
'...No matter how I see his destiny, I can't seem to predict him from that time. I showed him and told him the future, which was fulfilled. But since then... I can't predict him even once anymore.'' Sophia was fascinated by this, but even she didn't know it.
Matt was also staring at her when Sophia looked at him, so somehow Matt could understand what she was thinking, so he opened his mouth again.
"Haha, it's nothing. I don't think it's wrong what you did. If I were you, I'd do the same thing." Matt replied, finally the answer Sophia wanted to hear, albeit a bit changed from what she expected.
'I think it's best not to try to predict him.' Sophia thought and focused on speaking comfortably.
"Do you think it went well then? If I were to put you in front of the entire World, could you name them, one by one?" she asked as she leaned back in the chair.
Matt looked at her and shrugged again. "No." He replied.
"Oh? Out of fear?"
Matt scoffed a little. "No, it's not fear. I just don't care. As long as they don't come and bother me, I won't do anything to them. I'm not like you, who has a patriotic feeling towards your race.
Even if I have unfinished business with them, and I'll settle it sooner or later, I won't lump all those guys in with them if they don't want to get in." Matt replied, though he eventually smiled a little and spoke again.
"Though it may change if they have something I'm interested in."
Sophia was surprised by his response but chose to ignore much of what he said and focus on the latter. "Wouldn't that be greed?" She asked, with a teasing tone.
Matt smiled, "I don't think so. It's just knowing where to stick my nose in and where not to."
"¿Hm?"
"I'm not out to save anyone, just to achieve my goals, and if for that I need something they have, then they're in the way preventing me from accomplishing my goals, so eventually I'll end up clashing with them."
Sophia then couldn't respond any further. That seemed to be greed disguised as something else, but she didn't know how to respond, so she chose to keep quiet.
During their short conversation, the girls looked at them with some surprise. Somehow, these two people seemed to have tremendous chemistry.
That was amazing.
But Emma saw something else. She felt as if Sophia was seeing Matt differently than she saw everyone else and as if her treatment of him was that of a superior person.
That was strange to her.
"This is a surprise. I've never seen Miss Sophia talk to someone like this before, let alone show some inferiority; what's going on?" Emma asked without holding her curiosity. She is rarely curious about anything and the times she is curious, she must do something to satiate that curiosity.
Sophia stiffened for a moment when she heard her say this but then sighed. "Well, even though I once said that he could never surpass me, now I must step aside because I can't catch up with him anytime soon." She replied, revealing what Emma feared.
"Matthew is stronger than you!?" She asked in shock, and Sophia looked away as she nodded slightly.
"Don't be surprised. When you stepped aside to let him be the Bloody Vampire General, it was a good decision and now you understand. Maybe that decision is the one that will give you a brighter future than you already have." Sophia replied. Though after that she stopped talking nonsense and looked at Matt.
"Today is my last day at the Academy, and I came here to tell you three important things about the Academy. Also, if you want to visit me in my new territories, you are free to do so, and I will welcome you. Now, these three things cannot be heard by many people. So I would like to talk alone with Matthew and Alice." She said, focusing on what came...
