Chapter 179: Don’t Force Yourself

Silas looked at Leon.

When Silas came to Leon’s house, the Black Family Patriarch called him to talk for a while. The first was actually to talk about his own mother’s problem. What the Black Family Patriarch said was for him to leave his mother and didn’t interfere in her personal life.

After all, the Black Family didn’t want to see this matter affect him.

Even though the Black Family Patriarch put it in good words, Silas knew that the Black Family Patriarch wanted him to be cold hearted.

After that, the Black Family Patriarch started praising Rafi.

The main reason was naturally because the businesses that Rafi proposed were very good and also profitable for the Black Family.

There was no reason why the Black Family Patriarch would be dissatisfied with him.

Silas could only stay silent.

He understood that for the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and the Black Family Patriarch, the matter of the family and the city were more important. Since his mother and Rafi were also good with each other, they felt that this was a done deal.

Only Silas was in disagreement.

Because he was worried about what would happen from this matter.

This might be why the Black Family Patriarch had to come to him personally and advised him to stay away from this matter. Whatever his mother wanted to do, Silas couldn’t really do anything to stop her either way.

"It’s fine," Silas repeated. "This matter had nothing to do with you, Leon. You just have to practice hard and make sure that you can become the most powerful magic warrior."

Leon pursed his lips but didn’t pressure his cousin.

Even though the two of them didn’t have that bad of a relationship, but it was impossible for them to share everything with each other.

There were things that they had to keep for themselves.

"Alright."

With that, Leon came to the others and started practicing again.

Silas stood on the side and sighed deeply.

Aya naturally saw that Silas’s expression was a bit wrong and could guess that it should be related to Silas’s mother and Rafi. She pursed her lips and wondered whether her telling Silas that the effect of the ghost’s aura on weaker people would be a good idea.

Because this put Silas in a more difficult position.

But at the same time, Aya felt that Silas deserved to know about this. Otherwise, if he didn’t know about it and didn’t do anything about it, he might regret his actions even more.

’Forget it.’

Aya shook her head, trying not to care about it. She was only Silas’s student and even if she was worried about him, there was a limit to how much she should bother him about it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The training continued.

And when they were about to finish, Melia passed by. She had just paid a visit to her friend’s house and looking at Silas there, Melia came forward.

"Hello, Mrs. Red," Silas quickly greeted.

The children, who were slumped on the ground, also quickly stood up to greet Melia.

"There’s no need to be so polite." Melia shook her head helplessly. She looked at Silas and asked, "Are you not going to take missions together with Nelia and the others?"

"Nathan and Nisa are going to take a mission together with Teacher Nelia?" Silas asked, not really surprised. When the matter of the rank 7 magic warrior spread, it could be said that Nathan and Nisa had told him that they wanted to take a mission with Nelia in order to make sure nothing could go wrong with their teacher.

After all, they were worried that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would make things difficult for Nelia.

"Yes, Nelia said that she’ll take the mission first and then go tomorrow morning," Melia replied. "I thought that they meant you’ll also come along."

Silas shook his head.

Nathan did ask him to tag along but Silas refused. His position and duties in Wansu City didn’t really allow him to do whatever he wanted.

Even if he wanted to go out and take other missions, Silas knew better than anyone that it was not possible for him to do so.

"No, I don’t plan to take missions together with them."

Melia nodded.

She knew that the situation for Silas was not very good in Wansu City, so she didn’t try to persuade him. Anyway, it was not her business what these children actually wanted to do.

"One more thing. I saw your mother go with Rafi to pay a visit to the Fourth Head in the morning," Melia added.

Silas’s eyes condensed slightly as he nodded.

He knew very well that his mother didn’t believe in his words and thought that he was going to sabotage her relationship with Rafi, which made her really angry.

To be honest, if Rafi was truly an ordinary man, Silas would not mind.

But he knew that Rafi is not.

It made things really complicated.

"I see."

Melia saw that Silas didn’t want to talk about this and only said a few more words before leaving. She had to pick Keiran from the magic academy and then went back home. There was no time for her to care about this matter.

Though, she hoped that nothing bad would happen.

"Brother Silas."

The children all looked at Silas with worried expressions. They knew about Rafi more or less, but they didn’t know much about this person. But from what Silas had told them, they knew very well that this person was not very good, but he was really close to Silas’s mother.

Would it be fine?

"The adult’s relationship matters are not something we have to concern ourselves with as children." Silas shook his head and looked at the children with a faint smile. "Shall we pay a visit to Teacher Nelia and rub some food?"

Rub some food?

Dean’s attention was immediately attracted and he nodded.

His spar with Aya had resulted in him losing money again and again. This often made Dean want to cry but there were no tears to come out.

After all, his pocket money was mostly used to pay for Aya’s food.

If it was possible, Dean really wanted to win even once so that it was Aya who had to pay for his meal. Unfortunately, he was not good enough.

Leon and Evan were also a bit interested. They had lost a lot of pocket money to Aya over the years but they were still a bit worried for Silas.

"How about it?" Silas repeated.

"Alright, let’s go."

"Ok."

Knowing that there was no point in dwelling on this, the children agreed one after another and ran in the direction of Nelia’s residence. Yun was also dragged along by Dean and the two of them bickered along the way.

Silas saw this and heaved a sigh of relief.

He really didn’t want to face these children’s questions.

As he was about to go, he saw Aya was looking in his direction and he felt a bit guilty. Just as he was about to urge her, he heard Aya’s voice.

"Don’t force yourself to smile when you don’t want to. It’s ugly."
