Chapter 209 Interest

Chapter 209 Interest

As Kevin made his way through the crowd, depression and anxiety marred his face. The youth was missing his left arm and looked extremely emaciated.

He's still alive?! Adam was so shocked that he froze in place. He really hoped that Kevin wouldn't make it out of the secret plane.

But here he was. In the flesh!

At once, many thoughts flashed through Adam's mind.

How is he still alive?

How did he survive in that state for so long?

No!

More importantly, has he seen Val's true appearance?!

Valerian's identity as a dragon was something that Adam wanted to keep a secret for as long as possible. At the very least, until he was powerful enough to protect the little guy from the greedy Magi of this planet.

Tumultuous waves rose inside the youth's heart as he struggled to decide. The main thing hindering him from moving forward was the long-established agreement made by the forefathers of the races that inhabited the Southern Federation.

That any enmity formed inside the secret plane stayed inside the secret plane.

But the next moment, his eyes turned cold and he resolved himself.

No, he must die! I cannot risk it. Whatever happens, happens.

Having already made his decision, he bolted from his spot and approached Kevin like a specter. Just when he was right behind the latter, he raised his fist and launched a devastating blow to the head, aiming to kill him instantly.

But suddenly!

Another figure appeared between him and Kevin!

"What do you think you're doing?" A cold voice entered Adam's ears, causing him to be stunned by the sudden arrival of the owner of this voice.

He hurriedly stopped in his tracks and looked at this person. His eyes widened and he blurted out, "Professor Hemingway!"

The middle-aged man had a head full of black hair that was greying at the temple. He sported a thin mustache and a goatee. He was looking at Adam with great anger visible on his face. New novel chapters are published on

"Displaying such bloodlust toward my apprentice! Student Adam, you have the audacity to renege on the agreement made by our ancestors?"

Professor Hemingway spoke in a loud tone, making the surrounding people suddenly focus their attention on them. Kevin, who was oblivious to all, suddenly turned around and saw his mentor standing behind him.

"Hmph!" Elrod harrumphed in displeasure. "Leave. Never show your filthy face in front of me again."

"Yes, yes, my lord." Hemingway bowed several times, completely disregarding the prestige that a Magus like him should have, before quickly leaving the place with Kevin in tow.

Elrod turned back around to look at Adam who was standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but sigh, "Haaa... you sure are a troublesome little kid."

The elf looked around and realized that many people had gathered around them and even more were coming to see just what kind of drama had just taken place.

He placed his hand on Adam's shoulder. "Let's go somewhere else."

Without waiting for the youth's response, the next moment, the two of them suddenly vanished, eliciting a collective yelp of surprise from the crowd around them.

...

This event didn't go unnoticed by the other Rank 3 Magi who were secretly present at the city square.

They all knew that Elrod was a powerful Magus who hailed from the other side of the Murky Mountains. After all, they all wanted to have friendly connections with him.

Now that they saw the Rank 3 elf standing up for a mere Organ Stage human, they couldn't help but become interested in the latter, wondering just what kind of relation the two shared.

The King of Nightingale Kingdom was the most interested. After all, the youth in question was a human.

"Who is that child?" He asked while stroking his chestnut-

colored beard.

A shadowy figure silently appeared behind Arnold and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, his name is Adam Constantine, a commoner hailing from Behal Town in the Cormier Kingdom."

"Oh?" Arnold was intrigued. "A commoner, you say? And already an Organ Stage Magus at such a young age. Not bad!"

"That's not all, Your Majesty," the shadowy figure added. "My spies tell me he is an accomplished Herbalist. Moreover, there are also rumors that he is Lord Berger's apprentice."

Arnold's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Very impressive."

He paused for a while and then nodded as if coming to a decision. "Keep a close eye on that child. Have someone send precious ingredients to his house. Tell him it's from me."

The figure was momentarily surprised before complying, "By your will, Your Majesty."

"Hmm." Arnold looked around at all the people in the city square one last time.

"Alright, let us depart. There is nothing more to see."
