Chapter 148: Questioning (3)

From Patrick’s behavior, Silas could guess that the one who advanced to rank 7 was not Patrick. The moment the mana was out of control, Silas could sense that Patrick was only at rank 6 and not rank 7.

"So it’s not you, Granduncle," Silas murmured in a low voice.

Then who?

"Even if I want to, I have to get out of this formation in advance." Patrick laughed. "My attainment in formation is not very good."

Not many people have good enough talents to practice formation and Patrick was included among them. If he had to say, his attainment was not very good and could only be considered to be relatively worse.

It was because of this that they were confident to lock Patrick in this formation all these years.

If Patrick wanted to get out, he had to break the formation.

It would definitely attract attention.

"I see." Silas nodded and stayed still outside. He was thinking about who else could possibly advance to rank 7 and had good attainment in formation.

Formation...

Looking at his storage scroll, Silas was reminded of his student who was also very good at formation but hid this matter. But after a moment, Silas shook his head.

Hiding one’s talent in formation is one thing.

Hiding their real amount of mana was another thing.

Even Silas would not be able to hide his mana too much and only lowered his rank by one or two. Otherwise, people wouldn’t think of him as a rank 4 magic warrior.

"You don’t come here just to verify this matter, did you?" Patrick looked at Silas suspiciously. "And from what Leon said, you’re the genius in the Black Family. Perhaps, they would suspect you more than suspecting me."

Silas’s shadow raised his head and slowly shook his head.

"I’m not strong enough in their eyes."

Patrick sneered.

This kid knew how to hide his strength, which was something that Patrick had noticed when Silas came to pay him a visit some time ago.

At that time, he realized that Silas still listened to his words.

But how much he listened and how much he truly followed was another matter altogether.

"Some people would not care and think that you’re hiding something." Patrick shook his head. "Our Black Family has never been good in the eyes of many people."

Silas didn’t answer.

It was true.

When he was young, he didn’t think too much about it. But after he grew up, he realized that there were things that he had to pay more attention to. One of them was the fact that the people in his family didn’t seem to be able to integrate with the others in the city at all.

"That’s..." Silas was about to continue when he sensed people coming and took a deep breath. "The Patriarch is here."

His shadow immediately dispersed and Silas raised his head.

The Black Family Patriarch honestly felt really tired.

The sudden appearance of that magic warrior who advanced to rank 7 caught many people off guard. After that, there were many people from different cities trying to figure out the person’s identity, which led to direct conflicts with several cities.

The Black Family Patriarch worked together with the other patriarchs just to get away and returned at the fastest speed possible.

They all returned to their respective residences.

But this matter was far from over.

"Silas, what are you doing here?" The Black Family Patriarch asked with a frown.

"Patriarch, there are people coming to see me and I can’t go back to rest in this commotion," Silas replied and bowed his head respectfully.

Due to the movements to check any higher ranked magic warriors who were not present, there were indeed a lot of noises in the city. No matter how big hearted they were, it was really hard for them not to wake up at this moment.

The Black Family Patriarch nodded and waved his hand. "Go and stay in your residence."

"Yes," Silas replied and bowed to leave.

He knew that this was the Black Family Patriarch’s eviction order to him. What happened next or what the Black Family Patriarch wanted to do had nothing to do with him.

The Black Family Patriarch narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, Silas was among the few people suspected to be breaking through to rank 7. But when the person broke through to rank 7, Silas was still in the city and there were many people who could testify to this.

So no matter how much they wanted to, they knew that they couldn’t pin this matter on Silas’s head.

They saw him running around and then went to the Green Family Residence.

Melia was there.

She was one of the few people who could make others retreat because of her position. No one dared to offend Melia because if they did, they would be the same as offending the Green Family Patriarch.

The Green Family might have declined over the years.

But it didn’t mean that they were that weak. If they were truly forced to the end, they would definitely explode with great power.

’It’s good that it’s not Silas,’ the Black Family Patriarch thought in his mind.

Because if it was Silas, then the Black Family would be in Silas’s hand and no one would be able to do anything about it. The power that he had consolidated over the years would all be given to Silas just like that without anyone able to do anything.

That was the charm of the rank 7.

They were basically the ceiling of power in this area and no one would dare to offend them in the slightest bit or they would not know how they ended up dead.

But this was not the time for him to question Silas.

Even though the Black Family Patriarch was dissatisfied with Silas being here, he would not destroy the relationship between the two of them just like this. He still needed Silas to be loyal to the Black Family.

With that, the Black Family Patriarch walked into Patrick’s residence.
