137 FOLLOWING THEM

"Did he say anything else?" He inquired.

"Uhm, yes," Veronica remembered and then told him, "he said that he didn't work for Utahill, Synetia or Riverhill. I'm curious to know who he works for. Did I get myself another enemy?"

He held her hand and said, "Stay close to me from now on. Don't leave my side. The moment you are alone, you will be in danger." 

However, the question remained. Who did the man with the silver ring work for?

"A Basilisk," Felix mentioned. "I was skeptical but couldn't pinpoint it."

Felix was going back to Synetia but he kept thinking about the man he saw in the morning after bidding farewell to Arthur and Veronica. He couldn't control his curiosity and at the same time, he had a premonition he couldn't get rid of. Thus, he changed his path and followed Arthur. By the time he reached them, they were already attacked.
