Chapter 516 Connected Problems

Meanwhile, Vicente had no idea what was happening with his maternal grandparents.

After a short 6-minute walk, he arrived in front of the Bain family residence, where he soon noticed Myra's aura.

Following Nova's lead, he entered a beautiful house with a boat shape and various nautical decorations and went straight to where his girlfriend's older sister was.

"Nova!" Myra knew that Nova and Vicente were coming for a short visit, but she didn't know exactly when they would arrive.

When she saw her sister enter the main hallway of the Bain residence, she was overjoyed to see her little sister, whom she hadn't seen in months.

As she hugged her sister, Myra looked at Vicente and asked. "Why are you wearing something to hide your Magic Gem?"

Magicians had very good memories. As she looked at Vicente's face, Myra realized that he was concealing this essence of himself.

Vicente said. "I've gotten into some trouble, and I'm using this to get out of it. I'd appreciate it if you could keep my true form a secret."

She didn't bother to go any further into this mystery and said. "All right. I'll talk to Max later so he doesn't mention it to anyone."

She was very grateful to Vicente for his words before she and Max left Millfall. Back then, they had given up on the tuna brain they wanted to buy, but because of him, they kept looking for the item, and it wasn't long before they found it on the black market.

They had negotiated a good price for the tuna brain, which had recently greatly impacted the family's income.

In her opinion, protecting his secret was small compared to the debt she owed the young man.

"Where are father and mother?" Nova asked.

Myra looked at her sister and said. "Mother is in the back of the house preparing fish for dinner. As for father, he's out sailing. He won't be back until tomorrow evening."

"Sigh... I'm glad he'll be back tomorrow. Vicente and I will only be in Dryhaven for three days. After that, I must return to my duties at the Saltstar City post."

"Then don't worry. We can have a big family dinner while you are here." Myra smiled as she walked towards her mother.

Just as she reached the spot, she called out. "Mother! Guess who's here? Nova and her future husband!"

But after a recent trip, they both thought about the days of rest they would have in their city, with no more complicated problems for them to get involved in, at least for the next few weeks.

As the two of them settled into their comfortable carriage, Livia looked out of the vehicle with determination.

"What are you thinking?" Nicolas asked when he noticed that something was bothering his wife.

"It's the Staples family," Livia said. "I'm pretty sure that bitch has something to do with the Staples family tragedy."

"There's no proof of that, Livia." Nicolas sighed, aware that his wife didn't like the outcome of the recent changes in Millfall at all.

Shelby had gone from being a 'breeding mare' for the Staples family to being the temporary head of a family with the title of Viscount!

That had greatly changed the status of Livia's rival, which had irritated this woman greatly.

She had married the heir of a Count, but knowing that her rival now held the title of Viscount bothered her.

And that, of course, made her suspicious of how Shelby had gotten to where she was.

"Besides, even if she did, young Levi Staples will eventually come of age and take the noble title off her hands," Nicolas added. "After that, she'll have nothing and return to being what she was before."

"Is that so?" Livia didn't think it would be that simple. "Knowing Shelby as I do, she'll probably find a way to control Levi."

"Sigh... Even if she does, that's her problem."

"That's where you're wrong." Livia looked at her husband. "If she continues to hold the title of Viscount, sooner or later, she'll want the title of Count. But to get that position, she has to knock someone out of it. There are only nine Counts in the province. Your father is one of them, Nicolas."

Nicolas' look changed at Livia's words. "What do you have in mind?"

"We must investigate her situation further. We must prepare for her greed. Your father is already old, so protecting his position is protecting us." She said, thinking of Count Grant.

"Do you have any suggestions on where we should start?"

She smiled. "Of course. Shelby was connected to Cesar. Cesar is dead, but that doesn't change the fact that he killed a Sovereign of the army!"
