Chapter 87 Amaryllis.
*Ding!*
The elevator doors were opening, and Mykel was still staring at the system's eyes that were glowing bright blue. He didn't know why, but the system's appearance and face were somehow familiar and not at the same time. He was deep in thought because he believed he had seen her face somewhere, but he couldn't remember.
"Uh, Dad? Did you bring someone else?" Elena asked as she tilted her head to take a peek at Mykel. "Also, you have been standing there for quite a while now. Aren't you going out?" Elena continued.
The system turned around to look at Elena, and they both were staring at each other with surprised expressions. Elena was surprised to see a beautiful woman with bright white skin that almost glowed in the light, and she didn't know who the woman was.
"Elena Alester..." The system said as she walked out of the elevator and then grabbed Elena's hands. "You're the best creation that has ever existed," The system pointed out with a flat tone.
"Yes? And who are you exactly?" Elena asked and she was dumbfounded by the woman's reaction.
"I..." The system paused. "I don't know what should I call myself," The system continued.
"She doesn't have a name yet, but she's the system. She's my system," Mykel said as he walked out of the elevator. "I think it's best to let her think of a name for herself," Mykel answered and could smell the woman's body odor which was really weird.
The system was thinking about a name for herself, but she looked troubled and her expression was funny enough to make Elena laugh. She then shook her head because she couldn't think of a single name for herself, and so she looked at Mykel to give her a name.
"You said that you want to be an independent entity. I have given you the opportunity, and you can start from here," Mykel said as he put his hands in his trousers' pockets.
"But, I..." The system looked down with a troubled expression. "I don't know what's the best name for myself," she continued.
Mykel chuckled softly and then he grabbed the system's right hand which startled her. He then brought her to his office with Elena following behind them as she was still in shock.
"Look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see?" Mykel asked as he stood behind the system and stared at her from her reflection in the mirror. "What's the most beautiful thing that you have right now from your body?" Mykel raised his eyebrows and stared at her beautiful bright blue eyes.
The system knew that Mykel was staring at her eyes, and so she looked at her own eyes as she tilted her head.
"My bright blue eyes," The system answered.
"The guild leader's name is Sasha de Redshield," Amaryllis said. "The Redshield family is supposed to be dead, all of them," Amaryllis pointed out.
"I don't think it's a coincidence at all, Dad. Even though I was not there when Richard came to speak with you, I know what you're thinking and feeling. I believe it has anything to do with why Alfredo and his family's death," Elena said as she looked at Mykel. "Sasha de Redshield doesn't exist, isn't she? That's Sasha taking Redshield's family name," Elena asked.
While Mykel was thinking about it, Lyneth and Edith came into his office, and they both were taken aback with what they saw. Seeing Elena and an unknown woman sitting on Mykel's lap made them speechless and questioned what was going on.
"Can you two get up? I can barely see anything," Mykel said.
Elena and Amaryllis stood right behind Mykel's chair, and Lyneth sat at the desk with a laptop in her hand. She opened the laptop and turned it around so Mykel could see the screen, and the content was similar to what Elena got.
"I just found out about that as well. The Virtue Guild in Australia cleared the portal, but I didn't know that the Redshield Guild partakes in it," Mykel said as he read the article. Find your next adventure on empire
"Sasha is your ex, right? Why is she working with the demons?" Lyneth asked with a confused look on her face.
"Nobody knows the answers except her," Mykel answered. "But know that it has been cleared, now I know how she managed to leave the country, and since she possessed the last Virtue skill, that means she's special," Mykel continued.
"A divine being and a demon work together, just like in the novel. Why am I not surprised," Elena said as she sat at the desk.
"Because their target is me," Mykel answered and ignored the fact that Lyneth was scolding Elena for sitting at the desk. "They brought her back to life, so they could stop me?" Mykel asked as he scoffed.
Elena sat on Lyneth's lap so Lyneth would forgive her for sitting at the desk.
"What are we going to do? Are we going to meet her in Australia?" Elena asked as she wrapped her arms around Lyneth's neck. "Hmm?" Elena hummed as she furrowed her eyebrows and slowly got up to approach the glass window.
Everyone turned around to look at what Elena was staring at, and they saw the dark clouds forming in the sky. It wasn't a storm, it was something else because it was formed unnaturally, and it came from the distance.
Mykel's phone vibrated in his pocket, and it was Richard who was calling him. He then picked up the phone as he kept staring at the dark clouds forming in the sky.
"Mykel, something came out of the portal, someone terrifying," Richard said. "A breakout is happening again," Richard continued.
