148 Soul Arts (1/2)

Wallace watched everything that has transpired within his property.

It certainly didn't feel good to see your place getting destroyed by trespassers.

Luckily, they only destroyed the insured defense systems and the cheap gate that he have upgraded.

Due to the magic jammer, it easily succumbed to the intruder's powerful strike. Without the Mana Pulse Barrier protecting it, it looks so brittle in front of them.

Anyway, the recording wasn't that long. Avalon had also sent him the information about the twelve individuals. Looking at it, they were still labeled as unknown.

Although they were obliterated, the A.I.'s scanner captured their images and it was now tracing their origins.

As Wallace was about to return, an incoming call from a representative of the Golden Trident Group came. Wallace thought for a moment before deciding to answer the call. Anyway, it wouldn't take long.

\”Hello!\”

\”Hi, Sir Ravencroft? I'm Ray from Golden Trident, we have been alarmed about the burglary that has occurred within your property. Are you safe?\”

\”Yes, I am. Thank you for contacting me. I have seen the recordings of what happened. It seems that your equipment were all destroyed. I'm sorry to hear that.\”

\”Eh? Oh. Thats not important, as long as you're safe.\”

\”About the insurance...\”

\”Of course... We will cover all the replacement. It's included within your maintenance fee. Even if our equipment gets destroyed everyday by thieves or bandits, we will not increase the price.\”

\”Oh! That's good to hear.\”

\”I believe that the enemies were neutralised by your own defense system already. The police were about to arrive in your property...\”

\”I see. I'll send the recordings I've gathered. Can you help me coordinating with the police instead? I'm actually not in the property right now.\”

\”I understand. We'll cooperate with the police investigation then. Since we will go to the scene, about your defense system...\”

\”Don't worry, my Defense System will recognize you as friendly, they won't activate.\” Wallace assured the worried officer.

\”Ohh... That's a relief.\”

\”Then I'll go ahead and meet with the police.\”

\”Alright. Let me know once you traced their origins.\”

Wallace ended the call with officer Ray. He then immediately traced back his steps and returned to the deck. He noticed that Miya already completed her performance.

He observed the deck and noticed that there's a glaring sunlight outside their airship but the people were unaffected by the sunlight's heat. The airship seems to be covered by a barrier that was capable of controlling the temperature. It was convenient.

'Only half of the passengers were here.' Wallace immediately noticed that from the 50 passengers, only half remained on the deck to marvel the land below.

He immediately activated his Divine Sense to check where are the others.

'They're having a tour inside? Oopsss---'

He noticed that the remaining half were being toured inside the luxurious airship. Unfortunately, Miya's private room seems to be quiet near from where the passengers are.

This made the girl feel a subtle feeling of investigative skill being used near her.

However this time, Wallace was quick to act as she didn't had a chance to trace it back to him again.

'This...' Miya had felt a familiar feeling just now stopping herself to undress.

She just finished her performance and was about to change her clothes but the sudden feeling of eyes looking at you from somewhere made her frozen.

\”Is everything alright?\” Diana asked after noticing that Miya stopped her movements behind the curtain. The thin fabric allowed her to see Miya's silhouette and after seeing her abnormality, she cautiously probed.

'Sigh... If I told this to her again, she probably wouldn't stop until she found the culprit again.' Miya had only complained a while ago in the building because she was too shocked by the extremely covert method of probing and also being a bit embarrassed getting probed like that. It felt like everything was seen from her. No one would like to have that kind of experience.

If she hadn't had a breakthrough on her Soul Arts prior to her visit here, she may not have felt that mysterious probing skill that Wallace had used.

Anyway, after she met with Wallace, the culprit of the incident, she had used her Soul Arts and noticed that he really didn't have any evil intentions.

Now, she just wanted to let him know that it was impolite to use the probing skill without the target's consent and a bit of her pride had to ask him to apologize on her. But after thinking for a while, she would be happy as long as Wallace would just stop probing her like that again.

Unfortunately, her manager Diana was so inclined in pursuing the case. She couldn't stop her as she was only doing her job as her manager. It was all for her sake.
