Strange Worlds-Chapter 225: Protection?
Chapter 225: Protection?
While Aya had suspicions that the one who did it was the Fourth Head of the Wansu City directly, but it was also possible that it was one of the five elders under him. She had never met with the other three elders but she had seen two elders. Elder Yusi seemed kind while Elder Vorkham was a bit extreme. He even attacked Silas directly back then.
So if he was the one who arranged this matter, then Aya would not be surprised.
But it was not good to directly put a big hat on someone’s head without any evidence, so Aya would only suspect them and said nothing.
As Aya made her way to the Black Family Residence, her eyes flickered.
’Someone is following me?’
Considering her status as the little princess of the White Family, Aya would not be surprised to see someone following her. When she was in Wansu City, her father would send some people from the White Family to watch over her.
She was already familiar with those people.
But this time...
It was someone else.
Aya thought as she walked before realizing that this mana signature belonged to Nathan Green, the younger brother of the Green Family Patriarch and also former Silas’s team member. Why did he follow her? Or it was a coincidence because he wanted to pay a visit to Silas too?
Aya was not sure.
She stopped in front of the Black Family Residence’s gate and looked at the two guards who looked in her direction.
"You are...?"
"I’m Aya White," Aya replied. "Can I go in?"
These big families usually restricted people not from their family from entering. So Aya was not entirely sure that they would allow her to enter.
"Yes, you can."
The guards were familiar with Aya’s name. She’s the teammate of Leon Black, the patriarch’s son. If they didnt’ allow her to enter, it was estimated that the patriarch would be the one to come and scolded them. Anyway, she had come here a few times in the past.
"Thank you."
With that, Aya continued to walk inside.
She could sense that Nathan was still following her. With the relationship between Nathan and Silas, it was not strange for Nathan to be allowed to enter the Black Family Residence’s area.
Aya headed straight in Silas’s house’s direction.
After she was invited here by Silas in the past, she had become familiar with the road. Besides, it was not that hard for her to find this house. But Aya was surprised to find several pairs of eyes watching this house.
’Does Silas’s status in the Black Family change?’
Aya knew that Silas is the Black Family Patriarch’s nephew.
But this status was actually not very good for Silas himself because the Black Family Patriarch was wary of him and not willing to let him be free. He often watched Silas and made things difficult for the young man but at the same time, he was also letting Silas do whatever he wanted.
It could be said that their relationship was truly complicated.
Even Aya didn’t know what the Black Family Patriarch actually wanted from Silas. But whatever it was, it was a good thing that the Black Family Patriarch didn’t try to harm Silas directly.
Otherwise, Silas would never stay in Wansu City quietly.
Aya went straight to Silas’s house and knocked on the door.
"Teacher Silas, this is Aya."
...
Nathan Green was following Aya quietly from a distance away. When he saw Aya go to the Black Family Residence’s area, he thought that she wanted to pay a visit to Leon. After all, the relationship between Leon and Aya didn’t seem to be that bad.
But when he saw Aya make her way to Silas’s residence, Nathan’s expression was a bit strange.
Is Aya’s relationship with Silas so good?
Then Nathan thought about their journey back where Silas carried Aya all the way back. Before his relationship with Nisa was confirmed in the past, Silas would never agree to carry Nisa no matter what happened unless it was an emergency. His reasoning was that he was too short but in fact, Silas was not that tall compared to Nisa. But at that time, the task of carrying her when it was necessary always fell on him or their teacher, Nelia.
He had felt that Silas was surprisingly kind to his students but then he thought that it might not be because they were his students but only to one person?
If that was the case, then this would be interesting.
But Nathan had never heard of Silas behaving too closely with his students, so this might not be true. But he could see how these two people interacted this time.
...
Silas’s side
Silas was resting at his home, silently practicing his magic. There was surveillance in the room next door that he ignored and there were many people who were watching him from outside. However, these people didn’t use any investigation magic or anything like that, which made Silas relieved.
They only stayed there and watched his house.
So whatever Silas was doing inside, they didn’t know and they might not be ordered to find out what he was doing and only to watch over him.
For Silas, this arrangement was not that bad.
While he didn’t like being watched over by others but as long as they didn’t interrupt his practice and so on, then Silas was willing to ignore them.
As he was practicing, he sensed a familiar presence coming. freewebnσvel.cѳm
After that, it was a knock and his student’s voice came from outside.
"Teacher Silas, this is Aya."
Aya White.
Silas stopped his practice and walked out of the room. As he reached the living room, he faintly sensed another familiar figure and his eyebrows arched.
What is Nathan doing here?
It was rare to see Nathan in the Black Family Residence’s area except for the time when Nathan wanted to see him.
’Should I call him?’
In the end, Silas chose to forget about it and just focus on his student.
