Chapter 68: Olivia’s here
I saw the angry look on Amelia’s face, then noticed she was looking at my hand.
I returned my attention to the chest to find my hand still firmly grasping it.
As quickly as possible, I removed my hands. My eyes were fixed on the girl who stood opposite me, and I could only think of one thing.
“Why is Olivia here?”
The good thing is that she was wearing her clothes when she dived, or else the environment would have been more awkward.
“Why are you here?” I asked Olivia after seeing Amelia, who had just been looking at us. I do not know what’s going on in her head.
Olivia had tears in her eyes, despite her red face.
She jumped into my arms and began sobbing.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry” I held her and rubbed her back. First, I need to console Olivia, then I will talk to Amelia later. but why must I explain her?
Eventually, after her sobbing stopped, she looked up at me and smiled weakly, “Thank god you’re alive.”
For the first time in my life, someone cared for me, and from her look, I could tell she was deeply concerned for my well-being.
But then she looked at me and asked, “What happened to your hair?”
My smile stiffened, but I sighed, saying, “What to do? A leopard sneaked up on me. That damn thing was using fire. If Amelia hadn’t saved me, I would have died”
“And that fire took away my hair”
It was easy to lie to her. I introduced her to Amelia without even flinching.
Seeing Amelia look at her, Olivia nodded at her and began walking toward her.
She took Amelia’s hands and said, “Thank you so much for saving him. I’m very grateful for what you’ve done for me.”
Her eyes went to Olivia, first with confusion, and then to me with a questioning gaze.
“This is Olivia. She was so helpful to me when I was in the city,” I introduced Olivia to Amelia.
Olivia is not my woman, and I am not sure what is in her mind, but from her act today, I can tell she cares for me.
Amelia turned to Olivia and said, “Someone is tracking you.”
Suddenly, she held out a hand, and I heard someone scream from somewhere in the distance.
Within moments, I saw the scene that will always remain in my memory.
As I watched, a nearly lifeless body was hanging in the air and coming towards us.
“Fuck! It’s awesome,” I thought, but then I realized Olivia was running to that person.
Her face changed when she reached out to the floating man, and she pleaded with Amelia, “Please put him down, please spare him.”
Amelia nodded and withdrew her power from that man, and he fell to the ground.
Seeing Amelia behind me, I turned towards Olivia and saw that she was crouching to check his pulse while holding his hands.
After looking at me one more time, she said, “I know him. He reports to my father. I am sure he would have sent him to help me in an emergency.”
I nodded at her and asked, “But why are you here?”
I was stunned to see her face filled with grievances as she looked at me. “Why? I just came here because of you; when I noticed your tracker had stopped working in this place, I came here to check it out.”
Suddenly I understood why she was here, but being here would expose everything about the village.
“What can I do?” was the only thought that entered my mind.
“How will you get back?” Amelia then said to Olivia.
Taking out the tracker, Olivia found it was not working. She was stunned for a moment, but soon became normal again.
Then Amelia turned to Olivia and said, “I have isolated your tracker, so nobody will know about us.”
Olivia stared at Amelia for a moment before saying, “I know something about the people here. My father told me about it. But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about it.”
Amelia turned to Olivia and said, “Sorry, but I can’t take any risks. For Alan’s sake, I won’t kill you, but I will erase your memories for today, as I can’t risk being exposed.”
Although Olivia wanted to say something, she recognized the intricacy of the situation.
Her eyes were fixed on mine when she told me, “You have to be safe. I will wait for you,”
After gazing at her for a moment, I patted her hands and told her “I’ll be back.”
Olivia looked at me for a moment before turning to Amelia and saying, “I’m ready”.
Olivia nodded at her, and Amelia touched her head for a moment.
I grabbed Olivia quickly when she fainted. As I stared at Amelia, I asked, “Now what?”
She did the same thing with the man, touching his head. I think it will remove his memory.
Put her on the ground with him, and I will move her somewhere randomly. After nodding, I slowly laid her body on the ground and picked up the man, bringing him to Olivia.
With a wave of her hand, both of them vanished from the spot.
I was concerned about Olivia because she was going to be unconscious in the jungle. My face was revealing signs of worry.
“Don’t worry, they aren’t going to be unconscious for long; their tracking system will automatically turn on, and someone will come to get them.” Amelia looked at me and said.
“How do you know all of this?” I asked her, astonished at how well she knew the technology.
As if I had made her remember some forgettable memories, her face turned sullen.
“Don’t tell me what you don’t want,” I told her.
“Nothing. I have met many people from the outside world, and every time I need to remove their memories of us. I have killed none of them, merely removed their memories. I can also read memories of people, so I learn many things about the outside world.”
She can read memories. Does she know something about me as well?
