Chapter 100 No Where To Be Found

The door to the room suddenly opened. Linius entered and found that the room was too silent. He saw his mother who was in a daze and immediately went to check if she was alright.

"Mother are you alright?" He immediately asked. He then kneeled on the floor and held her hand. "Why don't you return to your room for now and rest?"

Linette, who almost got hypnotized by Cygnus, took a deep breath and avoided the man's gaze. She shook her head to remove all the remnants of the mind control in her mind. "I think I'll do that." She stood up together with Linius who assisted her. When they were outside of the door, he called for a guard to escort her mother to her room.

"You really made a mess this time around," Linius commented but the master was unmoved.

He didn't care then and he didn't care now. "I'm sure that you have already seen that coming since you told me to just be myself."

Linius sighed. He leaned on the wall beside the door with both his hands on his chest. "Yes, I have already anticipated it but I did not think that you would make the floor bloody and scare the guests."

"Well, it was my intention to show them what I can do but that man just went ahead and said whatever he likes," Cygnus shrugged his shoulders.

"But, did you really need to cut off his arm and make him blind?" Linius could only accept what had happened and just deal with the aftermath since he was the one who brought them to Ginehart. It was his responsibility to see this plan through even if the person was more dangerous than the people he wanted to eliminate.

"Yes, why? Did you want me to do more than that?" Cygnus raised a brow and gave the other a smirk.

Linius was annoyed but he chose to brush off the remark, "It's really no use talking to you. I just hope you are ready for the consequences of what you did. Now the branch families will be targeting you and will eventually come for you."

"Let them be, isn't that what we wanted? It will be more favorable for you. Aside from taking revenge on the people who killed your brother, you can also pull out those people who are plotting against the main family. Two birds with one stone." Those words were reasonable but still the situation has become more complicated.

This event will certainly reach the capital and all eyes will be on them once the cleaning was done. "All eyes will be on you once you enter the capital. My family is already in the spotlight so it won't matter that much but, in your case, how will you deal with it?"

Cygnus hummed and acted like he was seriously thinking about it before he answered. "Should I really deal with it? I think I'll let them be and stare all they want. The more popular I am the better."

It was the expected answer and yet he still asked. "Alright, for now let's just deal with this incident and can you please at least behave yourself and go around killing anyone."

Cygnus laughed then he stood up and walked up to Linius, "You are worrying about worthless things. I'm not the kind of person who will do that well unless they offended me."

Linius pushed himself and stood before Cygnus, "I hope so." He then turned around and left the room.

Cygnus looked at the other two in the room and pointed at the door. Both did not ask questions and also left the room. After he was alone, the glint in his eyes appeared and turned his pupils into the color of blood.

He walked to the window and stare outside with a smile on his face, full of malice and hatred. The dark aura around him started to seep out and surrounded him. The smoke-like power filled the room and started to corrode all the furniture and everything within it.

One by one all that was inside the room turned to dust. The rage inside his heart continued to grow. It was looking for something to destroy and devour. That incident really got him and if not for his excellent self-control, the entire manor and all of its people would have died.

But because of that, now he doesn't know where he could direct the bubbling destruction within him. A dark portal appeared behind him and with one last look at the scenery outside of the mansion, he turned around and entered the portal. The dark swirling door into an unknown place disappeared and the room returned to its original state.

Astrophos who did not go with them was currently faced with Archmage Sigma. They had been staring at each other for almost ten minutes now and yet no one wanted to talk. Truthfully the archmage was surprised to see Astrophos within the dukedom of Ginehart.

"Last I heard, you were on a mission but I didn't expect you to be here." The archmage started when he sensed that the other was not willing to speak first.

Astrophos was a bit confused at the statement. He thought that he was already declared a traitor by the tower and yet the archmage was still talking to him like he was still part of the tower. "Yes, but haven't you heard anything from the tower?" He asked, wondering why the archmage was still talking with him.

"Why? Did something happen at the Magic Tower?" Sigma raised an eyebrow at how the other was talking with him. He was somewhat nervous and he didn't know why. "The only news I got from the tower is that they got a new promising disciple, if I'm not mistaken his name is Ezio. Although I have yet to meet the child, the others are full of praise for him."

The smile on the archmage's face made Astrophos's heart drop and confused. How could Ezio be a promising disciple when he wasn't able to use any magic before he was kidnapped. "That's good news then, the tower will have another talent."

"Yes, you are right. I'll be going back to the capital after I escort Duke Blackwell home to see this child who got all of those geezers so excited." Sigma was satisfied and he couldn't wait to return and witness for himself how great this disciple was.

"Then, we will see each other again at the capital Archmage Sigma," Astrophos also informed him. He needed to talk with the master right away and urge him to go to the capital as soon as possible.

"Ah, if you are returning to the capital then we will certainly meet each other again." After that conversation, the both of them parted ways.

Astrophos learned two things from his conversation with the archmage. He was not declared a traitor yet for some reason but this was favorable for him because he can still move around in the capital. Then, Ezio has become a disciple of the Magic Tower. He did not know what happened but he was sure that there was something going on inside the tower.

The master needed to know what he learned but for the next five days Cygnus was nowhere to be found. Mr. C and Nina also do not know where he was and they don't have any way of contacting him.

During his absence, Linius was able to pacify the people of Ginehart together with his father because of the unrest caused by the incident at the banquet as they quenched the rumor that his brother was a demon. Five days turned into a week and finally Duke Blackwell left together with the Archmage.

"Is he coming back?" Astrophos asked the butler while they were outside and having a cup of coffee.

"Yes he will, we just need to be patient." The butler looked at a distance as a strong wind suddenly blew and carried with it the petals of the flowers around them. "When he comes back, he'll be in a better mood."
