Chapter 1322

Even though there were still a lot of uncertainties about Bernard, 1-2 decided to grant him the role of a

player inviter, a privilege usually controlled by a specialized chip. The controller of this chip was given

to Mr. Ben, but 1-2 still held Bernard in high regard.

These events took place while Sheldon was away from Area Opaca. At that time, he had been accused

by Sophie of colluding with players for big betting stakes. The reason for this accusation was because

the privilege to invite players was in Sheldon’s hands.

Sophie wanted to take away his privilege, snatch the people he led. She reported him many times, but

1-2, who needed the list of S members, asked him to bear with it. Once Sophie spilled all of the names,

1-2 would eliminate them.

Sophie and Mr. Ben were smart, they only revealed a name or two each time. Unfortunately, the list

was in their heads, no one knew how many there were, or who they were. So, for the time being, they

had to appease them and raise them to a certain position before casting them aside.

When Bernard first arrived, Sheldon was being punished by 1-2 for being reported by Sophie. He was

sent to section C of Area Opaca, which was divided into three major areas: A, B, and C. Each of these

areas was divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The privileges of these sections were

strictly controlled, with each layer being monitored by the one above, and no one could move freely.

Their rules were simple. The middle area invited players to watch the life-or-death duels of the lower

area players. The upper area people were concerned about the fairness of the middle area betting. If

the members from Siren Organization was discovered or found, they were sent directly to the

biochemical area.

The biochemical area, under the supervision of 1-3, was a separate area dedicated to dealing with the

members of Siren Organization. 1-1 was in charge of all area privilege programming and chip research,

and 1-2 managed the game programming. The duties were clearly divided, but 1-1 and 1-3 weren’t

often present. It was mainly 1-2 who kept control.

Now that Bernard had cracked 1-1’s privileges, 1-2 would definitely report it to 1-1, and when 1-1

arrived, who knew what measures they would take against Bernard.

If only Sheldon had known earlier that Bernard would act so impulsively for the sake of Vanya’s

daughter, he would have informed him about the double-protection plan. Then, they wouldn’t both be

stuck in the confinement area now.

But back then, Sheldon didn’t trust Bernard. After all, their families were arch-enemies. If it hadn’t been

for the discovery of Bernard’s care for Vanya’s daughter, Sheldon wouldn’t have made contact with him,

let alone revealed Robin’s secret.

After some thought, Sheldon knocked on the wall again, “Is Eleanor your secret wife?”

Bernard, who had been touching the bite mark, moved his hand to the wall, “Yes.”

Mr. Quartus, having already guessed this, felt a bit melancholy upon receiving the confirmation, “I never

thought our two feuding families would be joined in marriage.”

Bernard, expressionless, replied, ‘Vanya wasn’t a Pine, and Eleanor isn’t a Pine either.”

Since Eleanor was Bernard’s secret wife, with Bernard’s abilities, he naturally knew about her

background.

Sheldon didn’t care about this, but he did feel guilty about Vanya. He hung his head.

“Even if Vanya wasn’t a Pine, she was still my sister.”

She was his sister, who had loved him most from childhood to adulthood. But he, because he believed

his eldest sister’s words, had been cold and indifferent to this sister who needed help. He even ignored

her. When she starved to death on the streets, he only found out afterwards.

Thinking of how Vanya, originally a young lady of the Pine family, had ended up starving and freezing

to death, Sheldon’s eyes filled with pain.

*I’ll treat Eleanor as my niece from now on. So, for her sake, the Pines and the Lawrences will cease

hostilities for now, no more revenge or killing.”

Sheldon’s promise was met with a lukewarm response from Bernard. Then the two fell silent. Bernard

turned to lean against the wall, his eyes fixed on the dark confinement room, his fingers gently tracing

the bite mark above his collarbone.

After what felt like an eternity, the door to Bernard’s confinement room suddenly opened and a beam of

light shone in, illuminating Bernard’s icy face.

Having been in the dark for so long, the sudden brightness was a bit too much. The man instinctively

turned his head to avoid the blinding light, then lifted his cold eyes to look at the person who had

entered.

1-2, not wearing a protective suit and wearing a full-face mask, walked steadily towards Bernard,

followed by Sophie, Mr. Ben, and a group of black-clothed men who had once subdued

Bernard.

They came in and stared coldly at the man who, despite his current predicament, still retained his past

elegance.

1-2 didn’t say anything after entering, he just paced in place, probably deciding how to deal with

Bernard. When he had made up his mind, he raised his hand and waved to the black-clothed men.
