Chapter 172: Accompany (4)

And Silas also didn’t want to disturb his mother.

In this way, the two of them planned to bypass the two people. But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes because Rafi called them out.

"Silas, and the little girl from before." Rafi smiled brightly when he saw the two of them. "Are you going to personally teach your student, Silas?"

Silas glanced at Rafi and nodded. "It has been some time since the last time I taught my student, so I should also start teaching them again."

"It’s been some time?" Silas’s mother heard this and showed a doubtful look.

"There are some matters in the Black Family, Mother," Silas replied.

Even though Silas’s mother was also from the Black Family, but she was not a mage nor a magic warrior. She couldn’t really do anything to help in this situation and might even hinder them. Not only Silas’s mother, but the other ordinary members in the Black Family were also not informed about this matter.

There was no point in telling them either.

"Is that so?" Silas’s mother nodded and looked at Silas. "You’re truly an excellent member of the Black Family, Silas."

Silas heard his mother’s words and felt that something was wrong. He looked at his mother in confusion. "Mother?"

"Don’t be sad." Rafi patted Silas’s mother’s shoulder and looked at Silas with an intrigued expression. "You know, she had some problems a few days ago but you’re too busy to realize this."

Silas’s expression changed and he looked at his mother. "Mother, has your condition worsened?"

"I’m fine." Silas’s mother waved her hand. "You don’t have time to accompany me and I have others who will care for me."

Hearing this, Silas was silent.

He’s not his father who could accompany his mother and made every effort to stay by her side. Back then, he had watched how his father loved his mother so much that he could even fight back against the Black Family Patriarch.

And his uncle couldn’t really do anything.

But Silas could see that his uncle was rather happy to see his father not caring about the business in the Black Family.

Because this meant that his father would never shake his uncle’s position.

And Silas was different.

He couldn’t possibly fight against the Black Family Patriarch openly.

He had no such right.

Aya stood beside Silas, her eyes could see the fists that Silas clenched. Perhaps in many people’s eyes, Silas was a powerful genius who had fought countless battles and made a name for himself. His strength had reached the point where not many people could possibly contend against him.

And this made them forget.

Forget that Silas is nothing more than a young teenager.

That because of the death of his father, the young Silas had to be the one to bear the burden of the family and tried his best to help his mother in any way he could.

But it would not change the fact that he couldn’t be there to be by his mother’s side.

He’s not capable enough.

Aya saw this and her eyes darkened slightly. She stepped forward and looked at Aunt Black with a bright smile. "I’m glad that Aunt Black has someone who will accompany you. Does this mean that Aunt Black will be happier?"

Silas’s mother was stunned when she heard Aya’s question. Looking at the young girl who stood beside Silas, she felt that her look was a bit strange but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

"Yes, I am."

"That’s good. I’m also happy for Aunt Black," Aya replied with a bright smile.

Silas was standing beside Aya and could see Aya’s exaggerated expression. He blinked his eyes and sighed slightly.

Perhaps, his father truly cared a whole lot for his mother and his mother also did the same in the past. But his father had passed away and it was time for his mother to move on.

Because what she needed was not a dutiful son but a man who could accompany her and protect her whenever it was possible.

Even though Silas still has some opinion towards Rafi because he cared for his mother, but if this is his mother’s choice, he couldn’t really stop her. This is her life and he had no right to stop her from pursuing her life happiness if she truly wanted to.

"I see." Silas nodded and looked at his mother. "I hope you’re happy with your choice, Mother. I need to go now."

Silas’s mother was dumbfounded and looked at Silas. She frowned and felt that it shouldn’t be like this but she couldn’t say anything as she watched Silas walk past them.

Rafi saw Silas’s mother’s expression and shook his head.

"This...."

"Why are you all blocking the gate?"

The four people were talking and then they stopped when they heard this voice. Turning their faces around, they saw the Fourth Head of the Wansu City coming towards them at leisure pace.

Aya’s expression was a bit strange.

Does the Fourth Head of the Wansu City have nothing to do?

She felt that she kept on seeing the Fourth Head of the Wansu City lately.

"Fourth Head."

The four of them had their own thoughts, but they still greeted the Fourth Head of the Wansu City politely on the surface.

Seeing this, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was satisfied.

He was happy to see other people respected him.

"The business proposal you made has been passed, Rafi. You can come to me to talk about the details next," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City said to Rafi.

He was very pleased when he saw the business deal that could earn them a lot of money and felt that this Rafi looked more pleasing to the eyes. Even though the background didn’t seem to be completely clean, but it was still acceptable.

Moreover, Rafi was going to launch a business that was very profitable for Wansu City, which pleased the Fourth Head of the Wansu City greatly.

"I’m happy that you like it, Fourth Head," Rafi replied politely but there was a faint smug smile on the corner of his lips.

Clearly, Rafi was much more happier than what he showed on the surface.
