Chapter 293 Killing Intent
"If it's not something troubling." Leah knew exactly what Anna Grace was talking about because she had seen Yuan pull things out of thin air before.
"It's no trouble at all." Anna Grace replied with a smile before making Leah's belongings vanish into thin air as she stored them inside her spatial ring.
'It's the same as Mr. Yuan. Why am I not feeling any trace of mana in the air? And I don't even see any magic pouch with them either, how did she do that?' Leah cried inwardly.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find any magical pouch with any of them nor did she detect any mana trace in the air, which only meant that it wasn't magic at all.
In this world, if a mage casts a spell or any magical treasures used such as the magical pouch which has a bigger space inside and can store many things except for living things, upon their use they leave a small trace of mana which is very easy to detect by a novice mage.
Leah was a low-level 2nd-circle mage and not a novice, so she should be able to detect it when Yuan or his wives take out things out of thin air or make them disappear. However, that wasn't the case here as she detected nothing. Not even a slight trace of mana.
'How could this be? Why am I unable to detect any mana signatures in the air? Are they not making use of magical treasures? What are they genuinely using if they aren't using magical treasures?' Leah was astonished to discover that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't detect any mana signature in the atmosphere, and she pondered this to herself.
Yuan noticed the dazed look on Leah's face and he couldn't help but sigh, and with a gentle voice, he asked, "Leah, what are you thinking so deeply? Are you feeling sad about leaving your parents' house behind?"
"I'm really sad to be leaving this house because it holds so many of my wonderful childhood memories with my parents. Even though it isn't a proper house, this house holds a special place in my heart." Leah responded with a dazed smile on her face, recalling her joyful childhood memories in this place.
She could still recall her childhood memories in this house very clearly, she could still remember how her mother would often give her a copper coin whenever she felt down and was upset about something.
Looking at the look on Leah's face, Yuan and his wives could understand how much this house meant to her because she was raised in this very house.
Then she continued, "Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, I don't understand one thing, you may say I'm very curious."
"What makes you curious, Leah? You should know that when a woman is curious about a guy, she falls in love with that guy," Yuan said with a playful smile on his face, attempting to cheer her up.
Leah's cheeks flushed immediately after hearing his words as if she had fallen in love for the first time. However, she kept her cool, believing that Yuan was only trying to cheer her up and that he was out of her grasp because she was just a commoner with no background. n/)0velbIn
Leah looked at Yuan with a curious look on her face, and said, "Well, previously when you took out things from thin air and as well as made them disappear, I could detect any mana signature in the air, what kind of magical treasures did you use?"
Not only his wives were attracting attention, but Yuan himself also attracted unwanted attention from the women at the side of the road as they couldn't take their eyes off his handsome face, some of them even had husbands but still couldn't hold back themselves from staring at him.
As Yuan and his wives continued to walk down the streets, many people began to whisper.
"Hey, isn't that the person Lord Monbrook is searching for some reason? I heard that this young man somehow offended the young Lord Henrik."
"That's him, in this entire Monbrook city only he has such beauties following him around, there's no doubt that it's him."
"He made a grave mistake by offending the young Lord Henrik. Not only is he the genius lightning mage of this city, but he is the son of Count Monbrook, and offending is equal to offending the entire Monbrook family."
"I'm sure that Lord Monbrook won't let him go and perhaps he will make these beautiful young ladies pleasure toys for his son to play with, it's truly a pity."
"This is the price you have to pay for offending the Count's family, and you already know how clever and cruel Lord Monbrook is... It's clear that this young man won't be alive to see tomorrow's light."
Yuan's ears picked up everything the people were talking about very loud and clear, but Yuan acted as though he didn't hear anything and continued to walk alongside his wives, and Leah and his wives did the same thing.
'So, the Monbrook family is really looking for trouble with me despite my warning to that idiot, huh?' Yuan smiled inwardly.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the vicinity of the Dandelion Inn. And Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong in this place, he felt killing intent radiating from numerous locations in the vicinity.
'So, the Count's family have arranged people to look out for us, huh? Interesting...!' A faint smile appeared on his face as he quickly located them using his divine sense.
'Let's see if they were going to attack us or not... If they don't, that means they're only keeping an eye on us.' Yuan thought.
With a serious expression on his face, he turned to his wives and Leah and stated, "A few people are keeping an eye on us, and I suspect they're the people working for the Monbrook family."
"Don't look around and give them the impression that we were unaware of their presence." He said.
"Alright. We'll do as you say, darling." Anna Grace quickly nodded, and the other girls nodded as well.
A minute later, they arrived in front of the Dandelion Inn and entered the inn without wasting a single moment outside.
When one of the soldiers noticed this, he said to his colleagues, "They have returned to the Inn. Let us notify Lord Monbrook as soon as possible, or the Lord will be furious at us."
"I'll go inform the Lord." One of the soldiers said before rushing towards the Golden Delicacy where Lord Monbrook and his son Henrik were dining.
