Chapter 163: Aftermath

So Aya felt that it would be best for her to divert their attention.

Anyway, it was the truth that she had advanced to rank 7.

But after she was done with everything, Aya realized that she seemed to care about the Black Family more than the others.

Why?

Aya was confused.

She thought for a moment and thought that it might be because of her interactions with these three other big families in Wansu City. After all, there were two people from the Black Family.

They have gotten close in the past few years and Aya was not a person with a heart of stone. It was impossible for her not to care at all for the people around her. And the problems that surfaced came from the Black Family, which made it look like she cared more for them.

’It must be because of this...’

’Hmm...’

Aya felt her eyelids heavy and slowly buried her head in her pillow.

Before long, she had already fallen asleep.

...

While Aya was resting, there were meetings in the three other cities about the rank 7 magic warrior who suddenly came to their door and made trouble.

What was the goal?

The two cities were robbed of their herbs and some ores but there was nothing that was lost in Wansu City. Well, the reason might be because the White Family’s members who had crystal eyes were the one who protected the herbs in Wansu City.

It was not that easy for them to get close to these.

But isn’t this like saying that Wansu City was safer than theirs?

The other two cities felt that their hearts were being pierced when this matter was talked about. The two heads were burning with rage but there was nothing that they could do.

It was a fact that their people were negligent.

But with the reveal of the magic warriors’ elements, they knew who they should suspect more or less. Because of this, they didn’t hound the Orange Family anymore and their eyes were set on finding any rank 5 or even rank 6 magic warriors who had double earth and water elements.

The result...?

"There’s no one with suitable magic elements," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City finally concluded.

In Wansu City alone, the magic warriors who were of earth and water elements were all people from small families or the civilians. And their highest rank was only rank 4. Coupled with their age that was already quite advanced, it would be hard for them to pretend to be a youngster under the White Family’s crystal eyes.

There was a family with special earth element, but it was rare for them to have water element alongside their earth element.

Moreover, Wansu City had investigated and found most of these people had alibis or they were busy with other matters.

There were people who could confirm their whereabouts when the rank 7 magic warrior appeared.

This meant that this rank 7 magic warrior might not be from their Wansu City.

And the few people who didn’t have alibis were only rank 2 magic warriors and were still in academy.

This...

No matter how suspicious the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was, he definitely couldn’t suspect these children who were still in the academy.

And their parents also found their children or checked their whereabouts after the rank 7 magic warrior disappeared. Their heights didn’t seem to be suitable with that child.

Moreover, they were all boys.

And after all were checked, the few who fit the profile and might be suspected were only 2 people. One of them was a 10 year old boy who had the main water element and earth element but the skills were really bad. The other one was a newly admitted student into the academy who was only 6 years old.

These two boys were too short.

Even if that rank 7 magic warrior was a bit shorter, but she was not as short as these two children.

And the Fourth Head of the Wansu City really couldn’t start questioning these two children. The difference between rank 1 and rank 2 magic ranks to rank 7 was simply too high.

Only some elders were still suspicious.

"It might be from the other two cities."

When this was said, they all stopped questioning and gave up. Because the possibility for the rank 7 magic warrior might be from the other cities also exist.

It was just a bit weird that this rank 7 magic warrior basically attacked all of the three cities.

None of them were spared.

And the higher ups continued to have meetings.

...

The Black Family’s Residence

Silas was resting at his home, looking at his robe and inspected the traces on it.

After the Fourth Head of the Wansu City found that the person who reached rank 7 had earth and water magic, the people from the Black Family were basically released.

In this way, the Black Family Patriarch was able to calm down.

The people from the Black Family had worse impression of the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. But in the first place, none of them had a good impression of this person, so it was basically the same as saying that nothing actually changed.

And the impression of the Fourth Head of the Wansu City might have become worse in other patriarchs’ eyes.

Because the Black Family Patriarch didn’t avoid them when he asked the Fourth Head of the Wansu City to let his people go.

Aya could guess that the situation in the future might turn for the worst.

But this was not something for her to be concerned about.

She just had to focus on her own life.

And Silas also knew that this matter didn’t change anything for the Black Family, so he didn’t put his mind into this matter. Instead, he was looking at his robe with some doubts.

He once thought that the person who did this was Patrick.

But...

Does Patrick have 3 elements?
