I Can Transform Into Any Monster-Chapter 56: Meet Madam Sofia

However, since Isadonna disappeared after meeting Luis and he hated him, he unconsciously blamed him.

Furthermore, his instincts told him that this was somehow connected to Luis.

Anything that seemed impossible could happen. Considering that Luis had used poison when fighting the imperial students, it was possible that he had used the same evil trick on Isadonna.

Zane isn’t stupid, even though he’s still young. He already has the ability to consider various possibilities.

Luis doesn’t like feeling suspected.

The Whitemoon family is too powerful; he doesn’t want to conflict with them.

Before the blonde boy could speak again, he walked away.

However, he was actually following him, which made Luis angry, so he felt like kidnapping him too.

He wasn’t an Awakener; kidnapping him would be easy. He didn’t need the Power Seal, and his robot could practically watch him alongside Isadonna.

However, if he did that, other members of the Whitemoon family might come looking for him and ask where Zane and Isadonna were, since both of them had disappeared after meeting him.

This would increase suspicion toward him.

"Boy, do you suspect me?" Luis asked him.

"Did you use a dirty trick on my cousin?" The boy asked back, seeming more certain of his guess.

"A dirty trick?" Luis smiled wryly.

"Sh’s with four guards, and they’re all Level C Awakener, each stronger than me. Even if I had a dirty trick, I wouldn’t use it because it wouldn’t work. Besides, she must have a lot of treasure protecting her. If it were that easy to defeat her, someone else would have done it first."

Luis wasn’t out of ideas for excuses.

Besides, it made sense because Isadonna was an important figure targeted by many parties, including those from the empire itself.

As an extremely wealthy family, the Whitemoon family naturally had many enemies.

Zane was just a 12-year-old boy. Luis’ words seemed to directly influence his thoughts because there was a part of him that wanted to underestimate Luis.

"Boy, maybe you should investigate her other enemies," Luis added. "Mm, right, if you need help, I can also assist you as long as the payment is right."

"Screw you!" The boy suddenly spat with a very angry expression.

After that, he finally stopped following him and went in another direction.

’A kid is still a kid,’ Luis thought with a chuckle.

Without a little provocation, it would be hard to get rid of that kid.

DING!

(Luis, can we meet?)

Suddenly, a message appeared on his phone.

It was a bit surprising because it was from Madam Sofia.

She sent the message through her personal number, as seen from her profile photo.

Luis wondered why she wanted to meet him.

Did she need some kind of help from him?

(Yes, where do you want to meet?) He confirmed and asked where they should meet without asking her why she wanted to meet him.

This was to avoid giving the impression that he would refuse.

(Are you at your school? I’ll pick you up!) Her reply came quickly.

She was even going to pick him up, which made Luis even more curious.

(Yes, I’m at my school!) He replied.

After that, no more messages came.

Luis quickly went to the school gate to wait for her.

About five minutes later, he saw a red sports car stop across the street from his school.

The windows were very dark, so Luis couldn’t see inside, but he guessed it was Madam Sofia’s car because he remembered seeing it at Mr. Zarion’s residence.

A moment later, there was another message from Madam Sofia, telling him it was her car and asking him to get in right away.

Luis quickly crossed the street.

Of course, since it was a sports car, it only had two doors.

He opened the passenger door, immediately finding Madam Sofia sitting in the driver’s seat, wearing sunglasses and a long blue dress with her red hair flowing down her back.

The scent of her perfume wafted out of the car, a strong, intoxicating aroma.

"Get in!" the woman said to Luis, gesturing for him to sit beside her.

Luis nodded and got into the car, feeling a bit uneasy now that he knew this woman was Thomas’s mother.

As soon as he closed the door, the car started moving.

Outside, the exhaust roared loudly, but inside, Luis couldn’t hear the sound of the exhaust.

The woman was driving quite fast.

Interestingly, the car began to fly through the air.

It apparently had a flying feature, meaning it was far more expensive than a regular sports car.

As it flew, its speed became extremely high.

In no time, the Velos 33 was only visible in the distance.

The car was already far from the city.

"Madam, where are we going?" Luis, who was surprised, couldn’t help but ask.

He thought this was just a matter within the city, but unexpectedly, she took him out of the city. Even Luis suspected their destination was quite far, considering the car’s speed was much faster than the flying bus he had ridden to Velos 32.

If they were heading to Velos 32, it would probably take around 10 minutes by car.

Luis regretted not asking earlier.

It seemed like this woman didn’t explain things to people unless they asked her.

Since he had agreed to meet her, she assumed he was okay with taking him anywhere.

"We’re going to an auction selling Awakener Items where bids must be made using Monster Cores. I was initially hesitant because the Monster Cores I have aren’t enough, but luckily, you gave me a lot of Monster Cores last night," replied Madam Sofia.

This was something Luis hadn’t expected.

"Where is the auction?" He couldn’t help but ask again because he was immediately curious about the auction.

Maybe he could get the item he was looking for.

Coincidentally, he still had a lot of Monster Cores. The amount was nearly 150 million Energy Points.

If he hadn’t used 50 million to buy a fighting robot from Madam Sofia, his Monster Cores would be nearly 200 million Energy Points.

"On Hawaii Island," Madam Sofia answered, which only surprised Luis even more.

"The auction will open tonight, and the bidders will be imperial citizens and Velos residents. The reason I want you to accompany me is because sometimes attacks occur against the auction winners. With your level and your ability to withstand various attacks, I’m fairly optimistic we can get out safely even if an attack happens. Usually, auctions like this are only attended by Level C Awakener and below; it’s very rare for a Level B Awakener to participate because their numbers are indeed few on Earth." The woman explained to him.

"Of course, I’ll pay you for your time," she added.

"I think it’s fine even without payment since it’s an interesting place," Luis replied with a smile.

Unfortunately, information about this auction doesn’t seem to be publicly available. If he had known, he would have gone alone.

However, even at this speed, reaching Hawaii Island would take time.

An hour might not be enough. The island was in the middle of the ocean, and now Luis could see they were still on land.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before he saw the endless sea.

Madam Sofia looked relaxed as she sat behind the wheel because the car was moving automatically.

She lowered the seatback so she could sit more comfortably, making her body curve more.

It was a sight that made it difficult for a young man like Luis to stay calm.

Even though he was only interested in dating women his own age, like Alice, the body of a woman in her 40s was more distracting.

"By the way, there are cold drinks in the glove compartment. Have one if you’re thirsty," said Madam Sofia.

Luis wasn’t thirsty, but he felt that drinking something specific would be more appropriate for a long drive like this. He opened the dashboard drawer and found a mini fridge inside.

He didn’t know a car had such a feature; expensive cars are indeed different.

When he opened the mini fridge, he found five packaged drinks, ranging from mineral water, coffee, to wine.

The fridge couldn’t hold too many drinks; five was the limit.

Though it was easy for those with the Dimension Artifact to carry drinks, they wouldn’t stay cold like in a refrigerator.

Luis chose the coffee, which turned out to be delicious.

However, Madam Sofia didn’t seem interested in drinking. She started playing with her phone instead.

"Luis, how’s your relationship with Alice going now?" she asked suddenly, glancing at him while still holding her phone in front of her face.

Luis almost coughed at the question.

"Madam, what do you mean?" he asked, feigning confusion.

The woman chuckled at that and said, "Come on, how old do you think I am? You can’t hide something like this from me. I knew since I saw you with Alice. Anyway, she’s a beautiful woman with an attractive style. If you’re not attracted to her, it can only mean you’re gay."

Luis, "..."
