Chapter 72: Alice’s Rhetorical Question
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Enoch saw that the other party had sent a message, so he didn’t check immediately. Instead, he first observed his island. He wanted to confirm whether there were any strange eyes or magic staring at the space around him.
If that were the case, he would be able to know the other party’s talent type and find out Ton’s weaknesses.
Enoch looked around and found nothing. He was a little disappointed. ‘No? That’s a pity.’
Then, he opened the message.
Ton: “Hello, Enoch. I saw on the world channel that there are still people who haven’t cleared the third wave. I was wondering if it might be you. After all, I heard from a friend that you explored a lot of areas. This might cause you trouble.”
Enoch’s expression changed upon seeing this message.
The seemingly watertight speech had a very big hint hidden in it.
First, it hinted at the word ‘friend’.
Did this friend mean ability, or did he really have a friend, or did his friend have such an ability? Or had his friend once talked to him, and he never knew about it!?
The situation was too complicated, so Enoch did not understand what Ton was thinking.
After thinking about it, Enoch decided to focus on the topic of his friend.
Someone had exchanged information with him, and it was the person named Alice. The two of them were purely trading, and they had exchanged information a few times.
However, this was between the two of them, and Alice should not be such a person, Otherwise, Enoch would not have traded with her.
In other words, was Ton’s so-called friend Alice?
That meant that she was also a member of the Salvation Alliance.
If that were the case, he would not be able to contact Alice in the future.
Thinking of this, Enoch did not hesitate to contact Alice.
Rather than being suspicious of each other, it was better to ask directly.
If the other party answered honestly, it proved that they could still cooperate. However, if the other party deliberately hid something, he would definitely be able to feel it.
Enoch messaged Alice: “Let me ask you directly, are you a member of the Salvation Alliance?”
Ding!
Alice was still thinking about Enochs’s question. Still, she was a little happy when she saw Enoch’s message.
“Ttold you, this guy shouldn’t be so rude. I believe in his character…”
At the same time, she thought highly of Enoch. She was almost sure that Enoch had been busy earlier, and that’s why his answer was laconic.
Then, she opened the message to check.
“What’s wrong with you, Alice? Why are you suddenly unhappy? Are you okay?”
Shivana had just walked to Alice’s side when she noticed that her expression was constantly changing as if she was reading a book. She frowned, did not speak, and pouted her little mouth.
The aura around Alice gave Shivana the feeling that she should not provoke her. Otherwise, she would be furious!
Of course, Shivana would not care. She would not back down because of this matter.
Alice would not suddenly get angry for no reason just because of a small matter. Thus, Shivana dared to bet that there was a follow-up to the previous incident. As a veteran bystander, she must eat this melon!
As such, Shivana took three steps and walked to Alice’s side. She covered her mouth and laughed inwardly when she saw that the person messaging her was indeed Enoch.
“You said you didn’t care, but it turns out that you like him~”
Alice’s sensitive state immediately detected Shivana’s whisper. She turned around and asked, “What did you say!”
“No, I just said, why did this kid send you a message?” Shivana stuck out her tongue and made a perverted expression.
Alice did not pay much attention to it and only recounted what happened just now.
“Hmm? Did he ask this because he’s also a member of the Salvation Alliance? Is he trying to recruit you, or is he trying to confirm whether you want to form an alliance with him?”
“If he was a member of the Salvation Alliance, would he still ask me that?
“He’s directly asking about my identity. He must have met a member of the Salvation Alliance and invited him to join them. He feels that it’s better to have someone he knows, or rather, he simply doesn’t want to establish a relationship with the Salvation Alliance. If I were a Salvation Alliance member, he
definitely wouldn’t have contacted us.”
Shivana nodded as if she understood what Alice meant.
“Tunderstand what you mean, but I still don’t understand. What’s the point of him doing this? Even if you are a Salvation Alliance member, it doesn’t affect him. Why is he asking you about this
“This is also something I don’t understand. Why is he asking about this? It’s true that we’re not from the Salvation Alliance, but what’s his motive? I feel like I need to ask him directly.”
“Yes, yes, indeed. We also have the right to know!”
After Alice and Shivana nodded at each other, she immediately replied to Enoch’s message.
Alice: “I can tell you, but if you ask me directly like this, it will go against the trust and cooperation between us. It can be said that I don’t even have an obligation to tell you, so I feel that we should be honest with each other about this matter.”
Enoch soon received her message.
He frowned slightly, but then he chuckled.
Indeed, he had violated the relationship between the two. They had not formed an alliance yet, and this was his speculation. It was not appropriate to ask the other party to hand over the information.
Moreover, they might continue to make some deals in the future. The trust between the two sides could not be lost just because of this matter.
With this thought in mind, Enoch immediately replied to the message. He made a series of replies to the content of the conversation between him and Ton, as well as the other party’s words and judgments. Of course, this included his suspicions that Alice was a member of the alliance. He also revealed his
analysis and speculations to Alice.
He was not very worried that the other party would feel betrayed and suspected because of this message. On the contrary, such honesty would make the other party relax at this time. After all, the biggest problem of trust was to hide from each other.
Now that there was no such thing, it was closer to the truth.
After Alice and Shivana read the message, they first frowned slightly and then let out a long sigh.
“since it was about this, couldn’t he have asked earlier? Weren’t we also suspecting him? Great, at least now we know that Enoch is not a Salvation alliance member.”
