Blood Assimilation

95 Cornered

Young master Slandar was silent for a brief moment before a sudden realization dawned on him.

‘Wait a second! that damned guy from the Silvermoon family did not mention any of this when he asked me to help him catch that brat by luring him into my magic shop.’

‘...Fucking bastard! Did he already know about the true identity of the brat and choose not to tell me?!’

‘Hmph! Since this is how you’re going to play it, then don’t blame me for not saying anything regarding what happened here.’

‘That bastard actually thought that the brat was only a warrior with some special concealment ability, but that was far from it. Who would think that someone with such a muscular body would turn out to be a mage? Hehehe... Now I would like to see how you bastards are going to deal with him then.’

He thought all these in satisfaction and also somehow pleased that he did not harm the son of that woman.

With that thought in mind, he did not bother saying anything else to Miss Feng before leaving her shop with his men.

Miss Feng was bewildered by the expression that young master Slandar was making as he left her shop.

That was because upon hearing her words the other party was instantly shocked, and then the next moment, he suddenly displayed a satisfied expression which was very strange.

.....

And then without saying anything to her, he left her shop with his men.

‘What is wrong with that guy? His expression at the end was very strange; It was unlike someone who was afraid a moment ago, instead, he seems satisfied about something.’ Miss Feng thought in confusion.

And then she thought about it and muttered after a moment: “Well, as long as nothing had happened here today, I don’t particularly care about what that arrogant Paul Slandar was thinking as he left.”

“And also, he seems to be scared when I mentioned Riley’s title so that should be good enough to prevent any thought that he might have towards Randy after today’s event.” Miss Feng muttered to herself in conclusion.

After saying this, she released the protective barrier on the second floor’s bookshelves and immediately went downstairs to take care of her things.

...

As Randy left the magic shop, he kept on thinking about what he should do after this.

He contemplated whether he should go to the nearby shops to check out the movement techniques and or footwork techniques that they had in stock.

However, after deliberating about it for a bit, he suddenly paused in his step, changed his direction, and decided to head home instead since it was already getting dark outside.

When he checked his smart bracelet a while ago, it was already way past 6 o’clock in the evening, and he was certain that he would spend too much time picking what technique would suit him.

And with that thought in mind, he chose to head home instead of heading to the other technique shops.

Randy walked the streets for a while and then all of a sudden, he felt like something was wrong with his surroundings.

In reality, for a while now, he noticed that someone had been tailing him ever since he decided to head to the commercial section to buy magic spell books.

And this time, unlike last time when he was being followed by one person, he could feel more than one person on his tail.

He could tell this because, ever since he came to the commercial section of this city, he noticed strange pairs of eyes gazing in his direction.

And even though the other parties pretended to act normal by reading something on their smart bracelets and or smoking as they followed him, however, Randy could tell that these people were poor actors at a glance and that they were without a doubt tailing him.

But he did not pay them any mind and he went to handle his matters as he was certain that the other parties would not dare to do anything in the commercial section where there were a lot of people that could serve as eyewitnesses if they were to attempt something.

However, now that he was out of the shop, it seems the other parties were acting bolder when compared to before, not even bothering to act like they were preoccupied with something like before as they continued to follow behind him as he made his way home.

At this point, Randy could not tell the intention of this group of people, however, he was not going to let them follow him home.

And with that thought, he made a detour on his way as he headed towards the direction of that abandoned building that he was taken to before by Jeremiah’s goons.

Despite making this choice, he took notice to not get too close to that abandoned building since there was a dimensional rift that was currently being managed by the government inside that building after his incident.

The good thing about this location was that no one found this place safe and so, there was no one was living in the buildings within the vicinity of that abandoned building.

That building was a factory and ever since the massacre that occurred in that factory that took the lives of many workers in the factory at the time when a dimensional rift appeared in the building of the factory a few years back, most people chose to move away from the vicinity of the factory out of fear.

Thinking about this, Randy decided that this was a good place to deal with this group of people without causing too much trouble.

He slowly and calmly walked into one of the alleys that had enough space between two buildings, the path of the alley seemed too big for an alley, but it was just right for the current situation.

After walking into the alley for a while, Randy suddenly stopped.

The reason for stopping in his tracks was not because he thought the distance was good enough, but because in front of him was a wall preventing any further movement.

It seems like there was a dead-end at the end of the alley and so, Randy also stopped as he turned around to face the group of people.

At this moment, he opened his mouth, about to say something but then he stopped and immediately scowled when he noticed that something was wrong with the space that he was currently standing in.

At this point, someone suddenly spoke in a mocking tone: “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really don’t know what to say about this situation. Are you just confident in your abilities or are you just plain stupid to lead me all the way to this abandoned location on your accord? Have you thought of the possibility of being cornered because of this decision of yours?”

As the other party said this, they slowly walked toward Randy from the entrance of the alley.

When he walked for some more, he shook his head and continued to speak: “I don’t know what they had been teaching you brat nowadays at those fancy academies of yours, but now that I see how you reacted to your current situation, it seemed that it was anything noteworthy. And now, this reckless action of yours is going to lead to your death.”

Hearing these words, Randy did not say anything in return as he stared at the other party and around them cautiously.
