Chapter 389 Questions
Sophia then changed drastically at that moment and decided to focus on a more serious topic.
"That was amazing that thing you did just now; what skill did you use? You evaded an entire crowd, and even the guards didn't notice you when you walked in." She spoke.
Matt frowned and looked at her. "Did you get a chance to see that?" he asked.
She scoffed a little.
"Who am I? Just as they say I am the Prophet of the Murphys, you must not ignore it. My power is not as simple as just seeing the future." She replied, causing Matt to feel a slight weight in his heart.
"Clairvoyance is not a type of power that can be underestimated. One who is able to see people's destiny and future is a being to be feared. But this is the first time I've heard that someone can see what you've seen. What exactly is your power?" He was curious about this, but Sophia simply shrugged.
"You don't ask a woman for her secrets." She replied casually.
She no longer looked as friendly as she had moments ago, resulting in a drastic change in her personality, though Matt didn't give this much thought.
After looking at her for a moment, he asked Mei a question in his mind, and after realizing she wouldn't answer him quickly, he decided to look straight ahead.
"That ability you saw is not mine. It seems like you understand that Isla will have a great future. Well, from now on, she will start to have it; that was her ability." Matt responded.
His answer brought an overreaction from Sophia, who turned sharply to see him. "She has an ability!?" She asked in shock.
Matt smiled, "That's just what I just said."
"No, it's not possible. She hasn't mutated, let alone is an Heir. I can't believe it is your ability because you're not normal. The trust placed in you by that man must have a reason. But there's no way you can tell me that ability belongs to her." She replied.
And as she thought about what he had said, she realized that this guy seemed to know more than he should. Even more than Isla should know, that made her want to quickly answer something else, but Matt spoke first.
"I'm curious, what do you mean by the trust placed in me by Gray Allen?" He asked.
Sophia Murphy frowned and looked at him.
"Don't you know? Alice's importance to Gray Allen is impressive. He never accepted anyone to be her subordinate before because he didn't see anyone as worthy and didn't trust anyone. Although people think it was because of Alice, it was always Gray who was the problem in that issue. Even Emma Lewis was rejected, and other high-level people who wanted to belong to the Allens saw in her an opportunity.
But everyone was turned down but you, why?" she said.
She had asked herself that question many times, trying to understand Gray Allen. But so far, she hadn't been able to understand him. Still, she has witnessed Matt's capabilities firsthand, so she is beginning to understand him a little.
Therefore, she answered her question herself.
"Gray Allen is said to have varied abilities, and no one knows all of his abilities, but many people speculate that one of those abilities is an ability of perception. He can find problems where no one sees them and vice versa. The Allen Family is shining so bright in this generation because of him.
And despite having an eldest son who is a worthy Allen Heir, one who is within the Top3 of the 14 Heirs, he chose Alice as the Official Heir of the Family, although this not many people know."
"With that, we realized how important Alice was to him. Maybe he saw something in her that made him grant her that status, and that's why we understand why he rejects so many people, even more so because of the experience he had in the past with his first daughter.
That's why we never imagined that Alice would have a first male subordinate; that just means that man saw something in you that no one else saw. That trust placed in you is more impressive than you think. That's what I'm talking about."
Matt frowned when he heard her talk about so many things. 'Gray Allen... It seems he has more secrets than I thought. Being such a powerful man, I guess that's normal, but what did he see in me?
Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem logical that he allowed me to stay close to Alice when he had that experience with his first daughter.' But although there were strange things about this, Matt didn't give it much thought at the moment.
He would take his time to look into the matter.
Sophia didn't give that any more thought, believing that Matt should already know about it. Instead, she focused her attention on something else. "You mentioned something a moment ago that makes me uneasy. Only once in my life did I say that; Isla couldn't have told you. But yet you seem to know..." Just before she could finish speaking, Matt smiled.
"Yes, I know you once said Isla would have a great future. I wonder what you saw at the time to say that." He said, interrupting her.
That made Sophia frown. '...He seems to be very different from the last time I talked to him. Has the power he has given him confidence, or has something else changed about him?' Although she wanted to know the answers to her questions, she wanted to know more about how he knew.
"How do you know I said that?" she asked firmly.
Matt shrugged. "If you tell me what it was you saw in that future, I might be able to answer you." He spoke.
Sophia frowned for a brief moment and shrugged just the same. "Forget it then. I guess in this world, there are a lot of coincidences." After saying this, she walked over to the crystal before them and touched it lightly.
She focused her attention on the entire auditorium, which was filled with more and more people. At that moment, a strange glow came from the fingers touching the crystal.
At that moment, a mystical power slammed into the glass and reflected fiercely backward in the direction of where Matt was standing. This strange power caused the room to become slightly warm for a brief moment. The degrees rose slightly to the point of being perceptible on the skin.
Her eyes glowed slightly as well, revealing a mystical feeling through them.
Then Sophia spoke. "I'm curious about one more thing: how was it possible for you and Isla to disappear a while ago from the perception of my power?" As soon as she said this, strange screens reflected on the glass in front of her.
Those screens contained various images, somehow strange and varied. Exactly what they were could not be understood, but only the people behind Sophia could see it.
