Chapter 190: Doubts

Silas was silent for a while and frowned.

Even though this stack of scrolls are common, would the people sent by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City not try to check it?

Negligent?

Silas was not sure but there was also another possibility.

That another person put it here after the people sent by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City came here.

’There are only four mana signatures in this living room. Three are from the people sent by the Fourth Head while the other one is Aya.’

Silas had developed his dark magic to the way that he could detect the mana signature from different people. Mana signature was the hardest to change.

A person’s appearance could be disguised and they could use some method to cover up their real appearance.

But a mana signature was developed along with their growth. It would not change easily.

’I’ll check later.’

Silas wanted to investigate these three people under the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and it wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, this scroll...

Silas’s eyes narrowed.

It seemed that he would have to return it in a way that would not arouse the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s suspicion.

...

Three days passed quietly.

The little incident of Aya going out in the middle of the night passed by without anyone even talking about it. This made Aya a bit apprehensive.

Was her sense of existence that low in the White Family Residence?

But no matter what, Aya was glad that no one came to trouble her.

On the other hand, it was Silas who was brought to interrogation by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and the elders.

When Aya and the others gathered, they discussed about this.

"Elder Vorkham?" Aya asked in confusion. She didn’t know this name at all. It was not recorded in the history book that she read in the future.

"Yes." Yun nodded. "There are a total of five elders under the Fourth Head. These five elders held different power in Wansu City. They’re usually called by number from one to five. First elder is in charge of the dark organization who’s under the direct order of the Fourth Head. The second elder is in charge of various businesses in Wansu City and also the economic management. The third elder is in charge of construction and medicine in Wansu City. The fourth elder is in charge of public relations, schools, and safety in the city. Lastly, the fifth elder is in charge of intelligence and investigation.

Elder Vorkham is the fifth elder and my father said that he’s a very ruthless man and had a lot of people under him. If you didn’t want to live under supervision and be restrained in various matters, you should not offend this man."

The others looked at each other and nodded silently.

They had concluded that this man was really annoying.

Aya’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This system was not recorded in the history books for some reasons. At the very least, she had never heard of this elder’s name.

Then again, it was also possible that she didn’t pay close attention since she didn’t really like this lesson back then....

"Will Teacher Silas be fine?" Dean asked worriedly.

Yun was silent.

Her father was crippled because of the investigation after the war was over back then. He could only stay at home and take care of Yun but couldn’t really do anything else.

It was also because of this that Yun was told by her father to be careful of this elder.

"He’ll be fine," Leon said with a fierce expression. "I’ll beat up this elder if Brother Silas didn’t return!"

"You?" Evan looked at Leon and shook his head. "With your pitiful strength, you will never be able to defeat Elder Vorkham."

"Don’t speak as if you’re far stronger than me! You’re the weak one!"

"You’re weaker than me."

"No, it’s you!"

The others immediately ignored these two people. This argument has been heard more than 100 times by the others that they would not care about it anymore.

"Should we do something?" Dean asked.

Yun shook her head, feeling a bit depressed. Her father was not willing to tell her more about this matter.

"Yun, do you know where Elder Vorkham lives?"

"Huh? He comes from the Chub Family, which lives in that area. I don’t know the exact location, though," Yun replied while pointing at one direction.

Chub Family?

The family that was known for their greediness?

Aya’s lips twitched.

If she was not wrong, this family eventually offended people they shouldn’t offend because of their greediness and ended up being destroyed. Though, Aya was not entirely sure about what happened exactly.

After all, she didn’t pay attention to such a small family’s affair.

"How could someone from the Chub Family become an elder?" Aya muttered in a low voice.

Yun’s lips twitched. "I heard that he’s the Fourth Head’s classmate. They might have a good relationship with each other, so..."

Aya nodded.

Well, this kind of thing was actually quite common.

’Would Silas be fine?’

She didn’t meddle more than handing over the scroll to Silas but Aya was honestly a bit worried about this matter. It was just that she didn’t know what she should do and who should she beat up, so she didn’t do anything in the past few days.

"If you start to beat up an elder, it’s estimated that your family patriarchs will make trouble with the Fourth Head."

When they heard this familiar voice, everyone turned their head. Their eyes brightened when they saw Silas who came to them.

"Brother Silas!"

"Teacher Silas!"

"Hey brats." Silas smiled warmly. Seeing the children were thinking about him and even thought about offending an elder for him, it made him really feel warm. While these children were really troublesome, but they were also the few people who truly cared for him.

"Brother Silas, is it true that you’re being interrogated?" Leon asked quickly.
