Novel Full Chapter 151 Confrontation
“That’s them for sure… We just arrived here and aside from them, we didn’t offend anyone.” Priscilla replied with a calm voice. 𝘪𝘳.𝘤𝑜𝓂
She didn’t seem afraid of the group of people observing them with hostility.
It was as if she was used to this kind of situation.
“Vale, are you regretting saving that man’s life? After seeing the Manager, I think that he could actually save the guy as well. I’m sure he has an intention to do that and you may not need to act all…” Philip said as he looked at Vale with a teasing smile on his face.
He didn’t mind Vale’s action but he wanted to know whether Vale has changed his mind already.
At these words, Vale simply shook his head and replied.
“No, I’m not regretting it. It’s also a good thing for me that I have good reflexes when it comes to saving people… I don’t want to change that.”
Priscilla and Philip smiled at this reply.
“That’s true… If you hesitated now, the next time something similar happened to your close friends or relatives, you might react slower… It’s good to have a firm and resolute mind.” Philip was satisfied with Vale’s answer since this is similar to the teachings they received in their clan.
“Let’s just ignore them. I’m sure that they’re considering whether we still have companions waiting for us so they’re not acting yet. Once we arrived at the inn, they won’t be able to stop us. At most, they can only cause some trouble but nothing too dangerous.” Philip said as they continued walking.
The inn they were headed to isn’t a simple establishment since it could accommodate a group of professors and students from a prestigious Dark Arts Academy, there was no way they would have poor security in that place…
Anyway, the street ahead is quite busy.
There were carriages coming and going and hawkers across the street. Some of them were selling fish, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and some goods like toys, trinkets, or even drapery…
After going through the busy street, they finally arrived at the inn and realized that Terrence’s group was still observing them.
‘They didn’t make a move in the end…’ Vale mused.
It seems that Terrence’s group was truly on the lookout to find their companions here. They probably realized that there was no way that first-year students of the Vermont Academy would do missions alone in a city hundreds of miles away from the Academy.
Priscilla then spoke to the clerk of the inn and realized that they were the first ones to come.
The other professors and students haven’t arrived yet so Vale and his group simply went to the rooms they have reserved upstairs to store their belongings.
After that, they went downstairs to have a meal. Although they had their meal in the airship, they wanted to taste the local foods of this city so they just ordered whatever seem like a new dish for them.
The adventurous meal took more than an hour to finish but the others still haven’t arrived.
“I’m filled with energy, I want to go look around outside. I’m not sure when we can go outside again so we should cherish this time.” Priscilla suggested as she looked at the two guys.
“Hmmm… Are you not bothered by the people who keep looking in your direction? It might be worse outside.” Vale said since aside from Terrence’s group who were observing them using some mystical means, the other customers of this inn were also looking at them, especially at Priscilla, who seem very adorable in her dress.
“It’s fine. It’s not like they can do anything to me.” Priscilla replied with confidence.
“Haha… They have to get through to me first so you’re confident.” Philip added while looking at his younger sibling. He can also be a protective brother at times.
Vale also agreed to them as he didn’t want to be left alone either.
Who knows, he might even find a lying corpse on the streets…
‘Ugh…’
Vale shook his head erasing this random thought. It seems that being unable to extract corpses is taking a toll on his mind…
Anyway, they paid for their meal to the waitress before they left the inn…
“Let’s visit the Sun’s Herald office… Follow me.” Priscilla suggested with a hidden hint…
“Isn’t that where the others are going?” Vale still asked curiously while observing the surroundings…
He heard in the airship about the mission of some other students. A few of them were headed in that place so he can’t help but be curious about the place. He knows that the Sun’s Heald is a newspaper company operating in the city but aside from that, he knows nothing else.
“Ahh… Are you not aware that it’s one of the Dark Arts Faction’s businesses? It’s not really the faction’s property but it’s owned by the Ravinies…” Philip explained while his hands remained in his pockets…
The Ravinie Clan is one of the founding members of the Darkness Arcane Path so it can indeed be considered as part of the Dark Arts Faction. 𝒃𝒆.𝒎
“So it was like that… I guess they have missions related to that pocket watch… It seems they’re still searching for news about it.” Vale softly muttered as this matter still bothers him a bit.
“Indeed… Perhaps we can ask these people here? I heard we can get a reward if we provided a clue.” Priscilla said as she stopped walking and looked at the people who had blocked their path…
They went to the alley where not many people passes-by. Of course, they went to this alley for this exact reason so none of the three were surprised.
“Haha… I hope they have answers. However, it might be troublesome if they learned that we’re searching for something. It’s better not to ask them questions and just kill them.” Philip suggested.
“We’re killing them?” Vale asked with a frown. He didn’t expect that Philip can be so ruthless with that face.
Although Vale had killed the Evil Creature and Wilfred before, it doesn’t mean that he’s already a person who just kills anyone who annoys him.
“What? You’re thinking of killing us? You brats, who only have two or three Spell Models?! Hahaha! What a joke!”
Terrence laughed loudly as he signaled his men to attack!
