Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 398 Provocation attempt

The fact that such an organization had a Philosopher's Stone was an example of how powerful it was.

The Philosopher's Stone is not an object that can be obtained lightly anywhere. On Earth, there were only two copies of it, and that was because it was divided.

By now, Matt is aware that there is one per world, and getting it on that world is astonishingly difficult.

So far, he knows of the existence of two specimens in this place. One is held in the Central City of the World, and the other seems to be in the hands of the Vampire Prosperity Organization.

But there was something else Matt saw in that scroll.

'A prophecy... It seems that what I initially suspected was correct. They are trying to create a religion. They seem to have changed the way they do things, which might make it slightly more difficult to find them.' Matt sighed after thinking about this.

These guys were working without much care because they were sure that there were not many people at the Academy. Besides, the short vacation given to those in this section of the Academy was not over yet; all the students would want to enjoy it to the fullest, as they knew how hard the rest of the year would be for them.

It was because of this that they worked carelessly, making a serious mistake when they faced Matt.

Still, the truth was that Isla could sense some powerful people nearby. Those people did not realize that her ability had been activated because this ability used electromagnetic waves that mixed with the wind to expand, although it operated in a different way.

But it was precisely because of these electromagnetic waves, which Isla could sense and control to a certain extent, that she knew there were powerful people nearby. How come those guys didn't notice anything?

'How does he do it? Has his ability increased so much since the last time I saw him? What kind of ability is he using? Even I can't sense him in my ability, despite the fact that he's right next to me. It's like my ability can't activate on him. I could understand it because he's the creator of the ability, but why couldn't I feel it?' Isla was confused by this.

It seemed like Matt was using an ability beyond her understanding, which is amazing and commendable.

"Matt, why did you say they were targeting people you love?" she asked as they walked back to the mansion.

She hadn't read the scrolls yet, so she didn't know what he was referring to.

"On the scroll I grabbed, it was a message to the outside, to a person by the name of 'The Third Mask,' in which they told him that Matthew Dietrich and Isla Moore had arrived at the Academy. They even gave the exact coordinates of the mansion. It seems they can't forget their failure against me back then, so they want revenge," Matt replied.

"Really? Those guys are targeting us again?" she asked in amazement, and Matt smiled at her.

"They might be the ones to blame for your parent's death, you know? That's why I won't let them get close to you again. If those guys want to target us, I hope they're prepared for what's coming." The firmness in his tone of voice made Isla feel really good, for he wanted to protect her.

But when she heard that those guys might be responsible for the death of her parents, her mood dropped drastically as she remembered the past.

That past that she didn't want to remember, but that occasionally fate made her remember it hit her again. But this time, Matt was hugging her, so he quickly noticed and stopped in mid-air.

He turned her around, stared at her, and kissed her gently. "Don't worry. I'll make it so you can get your revenge." He said softly. Isla shivered a little in his arms and hugged him, laying her cheeks on his chest.

"...Everything you've said you've kept, so I trust you completely," she replied with a soft smile.

It wasn't just words; she had already proved it many times, so Matt didn't doubt it.

Afterward, both resumed their journey and returned to the Mansion.

It was then that Isla spoke again.

"Isn't what you did dangerous? Killing them will alert them, and now they will be more careful," she said as she poured him tea she had made.

Matt took a small sip of the tea and smiled. 'She's getting much better even at this. It seems that skill gave her a lot to think about, which has made her develop better at finding the answer to the questions in her heart.' Matt then looked up to look at her.

"It may seem so, but the truth is that their being careful is only a matter of time. When the news of Sophia's words spreads far and wide and when Alice's current power comes to light, added to my current combat power, all of this will cause those guys to start acting so carefully that it will be very difficult to find them.

That's why I saw the need to send them a provocation to see if they'll act before this all blows over." Matt replied, though he then smiled.

"Well, it could all be resolved if I received one more important status," Matt spoke.

Isla was surprised by his vision, but thinking who Matt was, she understood why he could think all that and she could not. But what he said at the end left her confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Those guys seem to target me and I don't understand the motives. But, they seem to have a person who sees the future or destiny on their side.

The moment I receive one more status, and it is revealed about my current power, alarm bells will ring among them, as they consider that we are mortal enemies and one more status is more resources for me, which can mean much more development than I have already had in the last two years. With all those things, they will act without hesitation and try to kill me somehow, which will draw them out."

"At that precise moment, we can take the opportunity to finish them off at once." A frank, straightforward, fearless answer filled the room. Isla fell silent after hearing this, and her vision darkened slightly.

"That would be dangerous for you, Matt. We don't know how powerful that organization is. What will we do if they all come at you? We'll possibly die. They are much more powerful than we are," she replied.

Her concern for him was genuine, but despite knowing Matt would get in trouble, she didn't see a possible future with just him in that trouble. She saw a future where they would both be there, fighting those guys.

Even though it was something that was almost imperceptible and would easily escape anyone else's perception, it made Matt smile.
