Chapter 177: Conflict

Even the Black Family Patriarch could only see that Silas was a rank 4 magic warrior.

"You may go," the Black Family Patriarch said.

He knew that Silas was unwilling to tell him and the Black Family Patriarch had nothing else to say to Silas either. Being able to reach rank 4 was indeed a genius level, but it was only the level of an ordinary genius and far from an enchanting genius.

If there was anyone who could be said to be a genius above Silas, that would be her student Yun or Evan. Both of them were unique even in their family because their ability was getting better and better at their young age. Not many people could possibly compare to them.

For Evan, he was walking on the path towards becoming the White Family Patriarch.

On the other hand, Yun would be the full support mage.

These two people were not a threat in the Black Family Patriarch’s eyes. The Green Family were mostly filled with people who took on the support rule and everyone would try to get on their good side. Even the Black Family was not an exception.

Having a support mage helping them on the battle could make a difference between life and death.

This was something that the Black Family Patriarch understood very clearly.

As for Evan, while his magic inheritance was troublesome and their Black Family’s magic couldn’t hurt him, but it was not that threatening. The crystal eyes from the White Family were harder to deal with because they could see through the weakness and the flow of mana inside a person’s body.

Because of this, it was really hard for them to make any surprise attack towards the White Family.

It was not without weakness, though.

The White Family’s members couldn’t open their crystal eyes 24 hours a day. Opening the crystal eyes required a lot of mana and their mana was naturally limited.

After a moment, the Black Family Patriarch turned around and looked at Lilac who had walked out of her room at some point of time.

"Your goal is to reach magic rank 3 by the time you graduate, Lilac."

"Yes, Father," Lilac replied vigorously. She would make sure to live up to her father’s expectations and trained hard!

Not far from her sister, Leon pursed his lips and focused his attention on his hand. He himself was only a rank 2 magic warrior because he still couldn’t do any rank 3 magic spells. In their team, only Yun could be called as a rank 3 magic warrior.

From this alone, Leon knew that his father was disappointed in him because he couldn’t reach rank 3 that quickly.

’Tsk.’

Leon clicked his tongue but he focused on practicing.

...

Silas went back home and met with his mother and Rafi. The first thing he did was to ask Rafi about the ghost aura.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Rafi’s voice was cold. "I’m a merchant, so it’s natural for me to encounter some things on the way, but I don’t deal with the ghosts personally."

"You better be because if you’re close with ghosts and the ghosts’ aura linger on you, my mother’s condition will worsen," Silas said sternly.

More than anything, he wished his mother could stay safe and happy.

But if the cost of her happiness was her own health, how could Silas leave her be?

"Don’t speak nonsense! Rafi is not a person like that." Silas’s mother stepped in front of Rafi and looked at her son with indignance. "You might not like him, but you should not slander him in front of me!"

"I’m not slandering! You can’t see the ghost aura but I..."

"I don’t care!" Silas’s mother yelled. She looked at her son with a stern look. "I don’t care about..."

"Mother, you..."

"Silas!"

"..."

...

That day, the light in Silas’s house never turned off.

The neighbor saw this and was wondering whether Silas was busy training all night long or something, but they didn’t dare to come forward.

This matter was not a secret.

So, the Black Family Patriarch also heard about this in the morning and he arched his eyebrows. It seemed that the conflict between Silas and Rafi got heated up.

In this way, Silas didn’t have much time to be involved in other matters in the Black Family.

For this matter, the Black Family Patriarch felt that it would be better to leave it be. Anyway, he had no interest to interfere in Silas’s private matters. The more miserable Silas was, the better it would be.

And to make it better...

The Black Family Patriarch thought for a moment and then decided to send someone to call Silas.

...

Aya and Evan were called out in the morning and asked to head to the practice field outside the White Family Residence. This sudden order made them a bit confused, but they still followed it.

"Does this mean that we can already train as normal and even take missions?" Evan asked as the two of them walked out of the White Family Residence.

"I don’t know," Aya replied honestly. "But it should be possible that it’s only training first."

Without them knowing where the rank 7 magic warrior was, these patriarchs might be worried that their children would be in danger if they took other missions outside Wansu City.

But for training, it should be fine.

"Eh, it’s still better." Evan grinned. "I have long wanted to see the others again."

Not being able to practice with the others and having to stay holed up in the White Family Residence, Evan felt really bored. It was not like he didn’t like practicing in the White Family Residence. But he missed his friends and the others.

"Yes." Aya nodded.

She would not tell Evan that she had sneaked out before and had even been ordered to go out for a meeting with the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. It would be better for this matter to be known to as few people as possible.
