Chapter 84 Inventory And Family Technique
After their little interaction through the [Mental Transmitor], Maelis told Aiden to come to her office as she would give him a copy of the technique so that he can learn it.
*Knock*
*Knock*
Knock sounds could be heard as Aiden was knocking on Maelis’s office door.
“You can enter.”
Then, Aiden opened the door and walked right in, and sat in his usual seat.
“So, before I give you the technique, what did you want to talk to me about?” asked Maelis as she still had no idea what Aiden could probably ask of her.
She had, after all, accepted all his demands for him to join the family, so why did they need to talk once again?
“It’s nothing major, so you don’t need to worry. Actually, I noticed that Emma had some sort of dimension where she kept some of her items. So, I decided to ask her about it after the fight and she told me that it was inventory.”
“I thought it looked useful, so I asked how I could get one and she told me that you could probably give me one if I asked,” said Aiden still wondering if she would actually give an inventory to him.
“Did she now? She trains you, she even gives you information about some things. Tell me what’s happening between the two of you,” said Maelis, smiling.
“Well, it’s nothing much, I help her and she helps me. I don’t think anything special is going on between the two of us. From my point of view at least,” said Aiden not understanding what type of relationship she was expecting.
“Well, you two sure got along fast it hasn’t even been a full day since I left the two of you alone and you are already helping each other in training. I can’t begin to wonder what will happen if I leave you alone for a full week,” said Maelis, giggling.
“And about the inventory, I should be able to get one for you, but it would of the lowest grade as you have already asked a lot recently.”
Aiden simply nodded as he didn’t mind what grade the inventory was as long as he had one in the future.
“Then, shall we talk about the family technique? I already heard from my daughter that she performed it to defeat you, so what was it like?” asked Maelis, curious about how Aiden felt when facing it.
“Honestly when she launched that attack against me, I was simply hopeless as I had no way of protecting myself against it,” responded Aiden truthfully as he had no reason of lying to her.
pandasnovel.com “It’s strong, right? But we are simply a middle-level family, imagine the techniques of high-level families or even of the founding families. Their techniques just cannot compare to the one we have,” said Maelis as she was clearly unhappy with their current situation.
“I can only imagine,” said Aiden, thinking about what would have happened if he had returned to the Nightshade family.
***
In the Nightshade Manor, Emily was coming back from her usual visit to the Slums but this time she had a happy expression on her face.
‘Finally, I got rid of this useless task of mine.’
‘Since he’s disappeared, I will probably be able to choose another master to serve,’ she said to herself, happy that her life was finally going to change.
‘But before that, I should probably go report what happened to the Director.’
She, then, continued walking through the manor which was almost five times as big as the one that the Everheart family had.
And that wasn’t all, their manor was only a small part of their possession, they had a whole city under their rules.
A city where other families resided all under their control, it was the city where the manor of the Everheart family was.
After walking for a bit, she arrived in front of a door guarded by two guards exuding a dangerous aura.
They simply moved away from the door as they were used to seeing her come here once a week.𝗇𝗈𝐯𝐞𝑙𝓝𝓮xt.𝑐𝗈𝓂
They had also been instructed of letting her through.
As she opened the door, a single person could be seen sitting on a chair submerged by different documents all around him.
“Emily, quickly your report,” said the man not even looking as he got a new sheet of paper in his hands.
“Aiden is either dead or he has disappeared,” she said keeping it short as she knew in front of her didn’t like useless details.
He was, after all, the one responsible for all the affairs of the family. He was the one who possessed all the information.
“Dead? Disappeared?” he said lifting his head up for the first time and looking right into the eyes of Emily, trying to confirm what she had just said.
“Wait?! Aiden disappeared?” exclaimed the man, who simply couldn’t believe his ears.
Emily was very confused seeing his reaction as she didn’t think that it would cause a big deal. He had been banished from the family for a long time after all.
“Alright, listen to my words closely, we need to find him. Even if we need to search the whole world to find him, you need to.” said the man not giving any details, simply commanding Emily.
Emily was honestly very confused by what the Director asked of her, but she simply nodded, not questioning his decision.
She knew he didn’t like being questioned and that the last person who had done so had been gravely injured.
“Do I need to do it discreetly?” she asked, wanting to make sure that she wouldn’t cause any mistakes.
“Of course, did you think that we were going to openly search for him, now scram and come report to me if you get any progress,” he said as he indicated the door.
“Yes, sir,” she said before leaving the room.
Then, she left and a big sigh came out of the man’s mouth.
