Chapter 1658: Unbound Spirits



By dinner time, Ning was already feeling much better. Not only had his strength improved, helping him feel stronger, but his healing had gotten rid of most of the aching parts of his body as well.

Right now, he was feeling as well as he had in a long time.

"I have talked with the young man, and he says he doesn't want to. But I want to ask you as well, young lady," the old woman said. "Do you wish to stay here with me?"

Shara stopped in the middle of her chewing her food, staring blankly at the old woman as she took some time to comprehend what she had said. She wanted her to stay with her, in the village.

Shara couldn't answer immediately and had to turn toward Ning for some help.

Ning simply crossed his arms and looked at her. "This is your decision to make," he said. "I cannot help you here."

She took a deep breath. "I don't think I can," she said. "I need to find out what it was about my father's lineage that the director was talking about. I need to figure out who I am."

"I can help you with that," the old woman said. "I told you I knew someone a long time ago. I'm sure the answer will pop up in my head in the next few days. You'll know all about your lineage even if you stay here."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shara didn't answer immediately, thinking through things. In the end, there was only one thing she could say.

"I... I will need some time to think."

The old woman nodded. "Take as much time as you will need," she said. "You can stay here for as long as you want to before making your decisions."

Shara looked at Ning, waiting to see if he would say something.

"I plan on staying here for another week," he said. "You can use that time to come up with the decision."

Shara thought for a bit and nodded. "I will make use of the time thinking properly then."

"It was there again?" the old woman asked with a major frown on her face. "There are no Overtakers in this village. There may be a few in the main city itself though, inside the ruined fort."

"I see," Ning said.

"Why did you ask?" the woman asked.

"Just because I saw the Spirit and was curious if someone put them upto the task of helping the helpless or some stuff like that," he said. "Otherwise, they are breaking the basic right of

privacy."

"They ARE breaking the right to privacy, which is why I was so clearly angry earlier," the old woman said.

"Can bonded Spirits act on their own?" Ning asked.

"Yes, but only if the master gives them the permission to," the old woman said. "Otherwise they had to do what the Overtaker says."

"Then could this be a perverted Spirit acting on its own?" Alex asked, feeling disgusted. "I wonder where and how it is going around-"

The door to the house opened, causing all three to stop speaking at once. A man walked in, seemingly in a rush. He turned at the kitchen, looking at the three.

"Mother Usha, what did you do?" the man asked.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

The man looked at Ning and Shara, a look of suspicion flashing through his eyes.

Ning frowned when seeing that reaction.

"There are people asking for you," he said. "Important looking people. What did you do?"
