Chapter 58: Lily and the Gaze [1]



****

Leaving the streets quickly to finally free himself from the stares, Amon took a sharp turn into a secluded alleyway.

Finding a hidden corner where no one could see him, he settled down there.

And with that, he instantly pressed a tiny button under the curved handle of his cane.

The vision of his eyes instantly glitched and after two or three seconds, his whole eyesight blurred.

He felt a change of scenery and the blur finally started to recede, returning his clear vision to him.

But this time, the scenery was changed.

He immediately perceived how the world around him was thousands of times bigger now.

Right at the bottom of his vision, he saw a jungle of thick black grasses that stretched far and then took a sharp downfall.

It was Lily's hair.

He had planted the device into her hair.

He quickly ignored everything else and focused in front of him, seeing the gargantuan street now from where he had just turned a few minutes ago.

Focusing ahead, his vision remained motionless for several minutes, waiting for the sources of the stares to come back.

And finally, after five minutes, he noticed three presences taking a turn and arriving in the street.

They were three men with lean and athletic bodies.

All of them had black hair and their eyes were covered by black glasses.

All of them were wearing formal suits with one of them even having a katana in his hand.

Just from looking at them, he instantly concluded that two of them were clovists while one was an armentists.

He couldn't gauge their strength or their elements.

They walked towards him, or more accurately Lily, causing him to narrow his eyes.

'What do they want with her? Do they know her?' He questioned internally.

Arriving before her, the one with the sheathed katana in his hand used it to dab her cheeks with it.

"Stand up girl." He kept tapping it with her cheeks.

Due to being in her hair, Amon was unable to see the expression on her face.

But he felt her body jolt awake and her head raised.

"Y-y-ye!" She answered quickly and stood up.

If he had to take on the market where she and partially destroy it, then he was ready for it.

But that would take a large amount of planning and setups first as he would obviously die in a

straight fight.

He couldn't just rescue her right now.

He sighed deeply, tired and stressed.

He had really hoped that this would be easy and he could just adopt her normally. But it

seemed to be that this wasn't going to work.

'I need to get str-' His thoughts halted.

'Wait..'

He just realized right now that he had forgotten to check the changes in his body after coming

back from the dungeon.

Restraining from cursing himself, he stood up and started to leave the streets.

It was dangerous here now that the night had set in, so he would just check his system after

returning home.

As he left, he kept Lily in his thoughts.

'I'll get you from them....I promise.'

***

Amon arrived back at this apartment, finding his sister already asleep on the sofa.

She was still wearing her uniform so she was probably so tired that she had slumped down on

the couch.

Student Council duties were truly hard.

He smiled with pity and quickly took a blanket, placing it over her.

Fortunately, she had at least eaten the dinner he made for her.

Taking a quick shower, he got into his bed and tried to think of some plans before sleeping.

Unfortunately, none came to his mind at that moment and before he knew it, he was asleep.
