Chapter 48 Oliver's Doubts
Chapter 48 Oliver's Doubts
"Mr. Oliver, what's going on?" Matt asked as he poured him something to drink.
Oliver smiled, "Boy, I have several things to talk to you about. But before that, how are you feeling? Fighting such a powerful devourer isn't easy." He said, and Matt nodded.
"Many of the bones in my body are broken, and it's hard for me to walk, but it's nothing serious." Matt answered sincerely.
Here, he could understand that the healing ability of a vampire was incredible, especially if he mixed it with healing remedies. On Earth, he had to receive healing from a healer, and while he could heal much faster, here, he doesn't need that. His body slowly regenerates, and broken bones snap back into place.
'Though there are some breaks that are too hard to recover from.' Matt thought.
Oliver nodded toward him and took out some medication from his storage ring, "It's high-grade medication; I'm sure it will help you recover." He spoke.
Matt gladly accepted it, and then Oliver decided to move on to the main topic.
"The situation this time got totally out of hand; I originally thought the culprit was the investigation and monitoring room. After all, with our monitoring capabilities, a 5 thousand power devourer couldn't get away. That's why I duly investigated them, but after an extensive talk with them, I realized that maybe they had no idea about that situation."
"It's a bit strange and they swore they had no idea, although they were still sent for an investigation, but I think there's something else." He spoke.
Matt then focused all of his attention on him.
"What do you think happened?" Matt asked, and Oliver shook his head.
"I'm not sure. I'm also doubting Caspian White and Young Becker. They arrived sometime before you, and from what they told me, they claimed to have seen you die, plus they claimed to have seen several other bodies die all over the place. But the numbers do not match. After you, many students returned alive from the mountains. Although there are casualties, they are not as many as both had said them saw."
"That's why I went to talk to them, but to no avail. And that is precisely why I came here to talk to you." He said firmly.
Matt was surprised by his hesitation, but he allowed him to speak and said nothing to him regarding what he knew. Instead, he listened patiently.
"You want me to watch out for them, right?" Matt asked, and Oliver nodded.
"Kid, I consider you a person capable of one day fighting for the throne of one of the Kingdoms, which is why I expect you to take care of yourself. I know that doubting the Vampire Clans is a crime, but on this occasion, the situation tells me that they might have something to do with it; that's why you should watch out for the Becker Clan. But really, you should be even more wary of Caspian White." He replied sincerely.
Matt stared at him, "Why? Wouldn't the Beckers put their attention on me, being such a small existence?" he asked, and Oliver nodded.
"Yes and no. The Beckers are dangerous, but not that dangerous. Their Heirs are not that dangerous, although they are powerful, the mentality they have is more passive than anything else. But the Whites have the support of one of the most dangerous Heirs. Perhaps you've heard her name, Miss Cecily Edevane." He replied.
Matt frowned as he heard this name.
'Cecily Edevane? That's the person mentioned by Mr. Gray... According to Mr. Gray, that woman is dangerous; does she really support the Whites? This is quite problematic.' Matt thought.
Oliver didn't notice his thoughts, so he kept talking.
"Not only does she support them, but your classmate, Caspian White, is one of their subordinates. Although he is one of the weakest, he is still a subordinate with a high status because his older sister is one of Miss Cecily's confidants. That is why you should be as careful as possible. Avoid any trouble with them. Maybe when you mature enough, you can do something, but right now, you can't do anything." He replied and grabbed Matt by the shoulder.
"Kid, I hope you'll listen to me on this. Stay out of trouble with those guys; they're dangerous." He said with concern in his tone of voice.
Then he got up to leave.
"I will talk to Reagan Cooper to help you with the King, and I will do my best to help you as well; I hope your current accomplishments can give you a status that will protect you enough." After those words, Oliver said goodbye to Matt and left quickly.
He had only come here because he was worried about Matt. Although he had just met him, he felt Matt was not simple.
Also, the situation of having no family reminded him of his past. Back then, he had been picked up by the King and educated under his hand, which gave him the power he had now. That's why he also wanted Matt to have that protection so that he would be allowed to become strong.
Maybe it was just his heart wanting to do right by a talented and educated boy like him, or perhaps it was something more.
Matt thought deeply about what Oliver had told him.
'The Vampire World doesn't seem to be as peaceful as it shows on the surface... But, even if you tell me to stay out of trouble with them, the day they chose to target me was when a sentence appeared over their heads. It's only a matter of time...' He thought, sighing.
Soon, a smile emerged on his face once again, 'Caspian White, even if I have to fight that dangerous woman, I swear I'm going to kill you, you bastard. I hope your neck is clean then.' He thought and then swallowed Oliver's medicine to heal himself.
.
The following day, Matt, Isla, and the whole team left on their way to the Academy. What had happened spread like wildfire, but the fact that Matt killed a Devourer with 5,000 power didn't come out.
Keeping it a secret for now was best.
The Academy had to withdraw because if there were any more such powerful Devourers present, it would endanger the students, and the Kingdom decided to take care of everything.
