Chapter 130: Jessie's Guess

After standing there for a moment, Red Prince went near the two guards and asked.

"Do you guys know where Professor Robert went?"

Both silver-armored guards glanced at each other as they heard his question and soon nodded their heads.

"He should be in his other house. It's in Second Street and the house number is 13S." One of the guards responded.

"Why are you searching for him?" In the meantime, the other guard gave him a suspicious look.

"I'm an old friend of Professor Robert." Red Prince replied in a vague tone and started walking towards the right side.

In the meantime, the guard didn't find anything odd as he nodded his head and added.

"If he isn't in the Second Street, go to the Tower of Element and ask the Tower Guards."

"Thank you." Red Prince halted his footsteps for a moment, nodded his head, and started walking towards 13S Second Street.

After twenty minutes of walking, he reached Second Street and soon went near a single storied house.

But as he walked closer, he also noticed that the door was locked from outside and stopped his footsteps.

'He is not here.' Red Prince's face hardened.

'Does that mean Charles already went to the Tower of Elements? What is his plan?' A solemn look appeared on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the black-covered book from his space ring and started deducing the exact location of Charles.

Three seconds later, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

'He really is in the Tower.'

But Red Prince knew that if he directly barged into the Tower, he would face the wrath of Destiny Lady. So, he first took out a communication ring from his space ring and contacted the branch head of the Divine Order in Chester City.

In few seconds, a young woman's voice came from the other side.

"Greeting, Your Highness. How may I help you?"

"Daisy, I need you to gather all the members in few hours and create a big commotion in the city." Red Prince said in a deep tone.

Meanwhile, Daisy got startled from the other side and then asked in a cautious tone.

"What sort of commotion, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing her question, the corner of his lips suddenly rose upward and formed into a grin.

"I want you guys to do the Divine Cleansing in this city. It is for the sake of achieving the true Destiny."

The other party went silent for a whole three seconds.

Then, she let out a deep sigh and responded.

"This servant will not disappoint you, Your Highness."

"Good." Red Prince nodded his head, directly unlocked the compound gate, and started walking in.

…

C Orchard Street, South Borough.

It was around 8.30.

Jessie and other kids walked out from the dining hall and entered the reception hall. Jessie wore a black and white pinafore dress, while Rhea wore a sleeveless white shirt and tight black pants.

On the other hand, Titus wore a normal linen shirt and pants and held a small dagger in his waist. The only one who stood unique was Noel. He wore a red-lined white uniform-like shirt and pants and black leather shoes and appeared more like a true guard.

"Did you see our teacher last night, Titus?" Jessie picked up her two-strap sandals from the shoe rack as she asked the question and wore it.

In the meantime, Titus shook his head and responded.

"No. Our teacher told me to sleep earlier, so I also went to sleep around midnight."

"He might be in the underground basement." Noel suddenly thought of a possibility and said.

"Haa, I wonder when your brain will start to work like normal kids." Rhea heaved a deep sigh and asked in a sharp tone.

"Do you think we would forget to check the underground basement before concluding? Look over there, the basement is locked from outside."

Upon hearing her harsh scolding, Noel scratched his head awkwardly and then muttered.

"Our teacher must have gone to attend his personal matter. Before he returns, we should focus on our current mission and return to our house before 12 noon."

"Noel is right." Jessie also nodded her head and added.

"Let's go, Titus. We don't have enough time."

In the meantime, Rhea also nodded her head and dragged Noel out of the house while speaking.

"We also have to go to the Museum and check if the gem can increase my wisdom."

She suddenly paused for a moment and soon added.

"Good luck, guys."

On the other hand, Jessie locked the house with an iron key and nodded her head.

Then, four of them walked out of the compound gate, and soon Jessie and Titus went in the opposite direction.

While walking on the dirt road, Jessie first took out a dozen letters from her space ring and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Our destination is Slum Borough."

"Slum Borough?" Titus placed his hand on the dagger hilt and asked in vigilance.

"Yes. I already checked all the letters and placed them in order wise. First, we will finish our work in the Slum Borough, then to South Borough, and then to the Nobles' Borough." Jessie said in a calm tone.

"What about Mystics' Borough?" Titus asked with a frown.

"No. There is not a single letter for the Mystics' Borough residence." Jessie spoke in a confused tone and soon turned her gaze towards the red-gem embedded bracelet in her waist.

At that moment, Titus moved closer towards Jessie and asked in a suppressing voice.

"Sister, do you have any clue about the content of these letters?"

A grim look appeared on Jessie's face as she shook her head and spoke in a grave tone.

"I too have no idea. But it might contain some dangerous information."

Titus's body shook as he heard those words.

Both went silent as they moved towards Slum Borough with a gloomy expression on their faces.

As they reached the Slum Borough's junction, Jessie suddenly looked up at the sky and spoke in a deep tone.

"Does it matter to us, Titus? All we had to do is complete our mission and move on under our teacher's guidance. Although we are now living without any worry about money, can we go on like this forever? We need to complete our personal mission and find a way to become a Rank-2 Mystic soon. Then, we have to find a good job like Noel and take good care of our Teacher during his final days."

"Final days? Do you mean our teacher is going to die soon?" Titus's eyes widened.

"Humph, do you have some problem with your eyes? Our Teacher looks like a 70-year-old man and even using the cane to walk. He is an old man, Titus. Although I heard that mages live longer than normal humans, they are not immortals. If my guess is not wrong, he might have taken us as his disciples to pass his inheritance for the future generation." Jessie said in a soft tone.

"So, that's why he took us as his disciple, huh." Titus nodded his head in understanding and soon noticed that they had already entered Groove Street.

In an instant, Jessie took out a red-sealed letter from her hand, gave it to Titus, and said.

"Place this letter in house No. 75D."
