Chapter 121: Investigation... While Eating~ (3)

Silas looked at Rafi coldly, not answering his question at all.

He felt that Rafi didn’t come to see his mother just because he was being moved. As for what the real reason is, Silas didn’t know.

The two of them stared at each other, still in silence.

...

Evan came out of the restaurant and walked with Aya.

"Say, do you also think that there’s something strange?" Evan suddenly asked. When Rafi suddenly targeted Aya, he felt that this man’s intention was not so kind.

"He’s not an ordinary merchant," Aya replied.

"You think so?" Evan asked.

"Yes."

Aya smiled and recalled the movement the merchant made when he caught the stone. Aya had purposely increased her strength, but she could see that he was able to catch that magic appraisal stone lightly as if he didn’t feel anything.

For those whose physical strength was high, they would not notice anything when the increase is only a little bit.

But for those who were weak, they would definitely feel it right away.

"He might be a magic warrior," Aya said.

"Huh? How do you know?" Evan was stunned.

"The magic appraisal stone. I throw it quite hard, you know." Aya shrugged. "But it seems Brother Silas didn’t want us to be involved."

This was also related to Silas’s mother, so Aya didn’t want to meddle too much. But she should also figure out a way to make sure that Silas’s mother was unharmed.

The ghost aura...

It was troublesome.

Ordinary people would never be able to handle that much ghost aura nor would it be possible for them to have so much ghost aura either.

"I believe Brother Silas can handle it."

"Yes."

...

Black Family Residence.

Leon made his way home the fastest since Silas’s mother restaurant was not far from Black Family Residence. It was not that far from his house.

"Brother, you’re back."

Leon’s sister, Lilac, looked at her brother and tilted her head. "It’s later than usual, Brother."

"I have some things to do," Leon replied and patted his sister’s head before strolling inside. He saw his father was already waiting. "Father."

"Did you go to Silas’s family’s restaurant?"

Leon was stunned when he heard his father’s question. Even if his father asked about his activity from time to time, his father would never ask him anything too detailed.

On one side, Leon usually only spent his time with his friends.

On the other hand, Leon usually reported when there was something unusual to his father.

"Yes, Father," Leon replied.

"Don’t go there anymore." Black Family Patriarch looked at his son and then said, "You should focus on your study and missions."

Leon was stunned.

He looked at his father in disbelief and some thoughts crossed in his mind. His fingers clenched to form a fist and then he asked in a low voice, "Do you already know, Father?"

"Is this how you’re speaking to your father, Leon?" Black Family Patriarch didn’t answer and reprimanded Leon instead.

Leon felt suffocated.

In his family, it has always been etiquette and rules that mattered the most. Whenever his father talked to him, what he cared the most was his training and progress. But Leon’s talent was not that high. Compared to the peers of the same age, he was actually at the bottom of the five.

Even if Leon had never sparred against Yun since her type of magic was support, but her help in the team was much more than his.

The two physical strength duo was even much stronger than him.

"I’m sorry, Father." Leon bowed his head.

"Do you understand?" Black Family Patriarch asked again.

"Yes, Father, I understand."

The two father and son stayed like this for a while before the Black Family Patriarch waved his hand. "Go."

"Yes, Father."

Leon turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard. It was usually empty and only him would come here to train.

His sister is a genius.

Lilac had a private training space underground where she would be trained vigorously by their father. On the other hand, Leon was nothing more than a mediocre child of the patriarch.

In a way, his situation was actually similar to Aya.

The two of them were supposed to be the first in line to be the next patriarch of the family, but from the way it looked like, the position would never fall to their hands. Aya did it intentionally while Leon’s talent was indeed limited.

’Damn it.’

Leon wanted to go out and tell Silas what he obtained from his father, but he also knew that his father would not allow it. And he believed that with Silas’s intelligence, this young man should have understood the situation more than him.

"Brother."

Hearing the call, Leon turned his head and saw Lilac. She has been in the school for a few weeks and so far, her result was on par with Keiran. The two of them were simply the top of their classes and it was said that they were competing against each other.

Right now, Lilac was only 6 years old but her expression looked mature and elegant, yet cute at the same time.

Compared to him who didn’t care too much about etiquette, Lilac was simply the treasure in the family.

"Yes Lilac?" Leon replied.

"Don’t mind Father too much. He cares for you too," Lilac said and looked at her brother with her big dark eyes.

"I know," Leon whispered.

But as the patriarch of the family, Black Family Patriarch would care more about the entire Black Family than his own close family members. This was something that Leon had realized a long time ago.

These patriarchs were all like that.

The White Family Patriarch was like that and the Black Family Patriarch was also like this.

These two families truly deserved to be rivals with each other. Even their way of educating their families and their priorities were similar to each other.

When Leon thought about this, his eyes darkened slightly.
