Chapter 164: Aftermath (2)

Silas played with his robe for a while and in the end could only shake his head. He felt that there was no need for him to worry so much.

There was not even the slightest bit of trace left on his robe.

This meant that whoever made that formation knew how to control it so that there were no traces left after the formation was used.

This method reminded him of the rank 7 magic warriors who came to make trouble some time ago.

Because this magic warrior was able to control her formation, making it self destruct right after it was used. In this way, no one else would be able to use it and chased after her.

This method was very exquisite and there were not many people who could possibly do this.

He looked at his robe once more time before wearing it and came out of his residence. Coming out of the residence, Silas met with the Black Family Patriarch who had a solemn face.

"Patriarch?" Silas asked, his tone was doubtful.

What is the Black Family Patriarch doing waiting in front of his house?

"Come with me," the Black Family Patriarch said simply.

Silas nodded dumbly and then followed after the Black Family Patriarch. The two of them made their way to the relatively quiet street before the Black Family Patriarch started talking.

"The Fourth Head suspected that there are more than 1 magic warriors at rank 7 who come, so he decided to check on everyone who has earth and water element," the Black Family Patriarch said solemnly.

Silas was dumbfounded.

The intelligence they received was that the person who reached rank 7 had both earth element and water element. If they were going through this notion, they would realize that there were not many people suspected as such, especially from Wansu City.

There were more people in other cities than theirs.

"But that’s..."

"The Fifth Elder felt that it’s better not to let anyone off the hook." the Black Family Patriarch shook his head. He looked at Silas and said, "Your disciple is of water element, so the Fourth Head wants to see her."

Silas paused, emotions surged in his eyes.

He had five disciples and among them, there was only one person who had water element, Aya White.

"She’s only a rank 2 magic warrior!" Silas said.

At this moment, Silas felt that the elders in Wansu City were simply too absurd. They even wanted to suspect children who were only 11 years old and had only reached rank 2. This made Silas feel that it was really strange.

"He doesn’t care," the Black Family Patriarch said calmly. He looked at Silas and said, "She might be your disciples, but she’s not part of the Black Family. You don’t have to care too much about her."

The Black Family might help others in Wansu City, but they only cared about their own family members rather than outsiders.

Even if some of them had disciples, as long as they were not part of the Black Family, they would not care too much. Of course, if they were facing outsiders, they would try their best to protect their team members and work together.

But in the face of suspicion from the Fourth Head of the Wansu City, the Black Family Patriarch chose not to care.

Because if they cared too much, it would only hurt them.

And what the Black Family Patriarch wanted was for the people in his family to become stronger and become the best. In this way, it was actually better if the geniuses from other families were to fall first while their own survived.

"That’s..." Silas wanted to open his mouth but he saw the Black Family Patriarch’s cold gaze.

At this moment, he understood.

The main reason why the Black Family couldn’t be accepted was inseparable from their arrogant and selfish nature. The other families might also be selfish to a certain degree but they were willing to work together to gain profit with others. And when their comrades were in trouble, they would not hesitate to come forward and help.

But the Black Family was different.

If it was not because they were forced by the situation back then, they would not agree to join Wansu City and become of the four families who built it together.

Even if he wanted to try his best to befriend the other people from other families, he couldn’t escape the fact that he came from the Black Family.

All that came from Silas’s words in the end was, "I understand, Patriarch."

Having received Silas’s answer, the Black Family Patriarch nodded. "Moreover, she’s a girl and from the White Family Patriarch’s description, the rank 7 magic warrior might be a girl. You can bring her to see the Fourth Head now."

To be honest, the Black Family Patriarch knew that for Silas to be entrusted with the teaching of the important descendants from various families, it was actually both a test and a chance for Silas and the Black Family. To see whether they could be trusted or not.

If it was anyone else, the Black Family Patriarch might be happier.

But this person happened to be Silas, whom the Black Family Patriarch was wary about and didn’t want to see thriving.

So the Black Family Patriarch felt a bit complicated.

On one side, he hoped that Silas could make the Black Family more accepted in Wansu City but on another side, he didn’t want to see Silas thrive. So it was also because of this that the Black Family Patriarch’s action was a bit contradictory from time to time.

"Yes, Patriarch."

With that, Silas walked out and headed straight to the White Family Residence.

...

Aya had woken up.

To be exact, she was woken up once after she came back because Evan came to check her but because he left immediately when he saw that she was sleeping, Aya went back to sleep. She was too lazy to find out the situation outside.
