A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel 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."
