Chapter 160: A similar situation from the past (1/2)

The vendor was right, the young man had no intention to report him. But in exchange, he had to agree to give them a 45% discount!

”This is a blackmail,” he muttered after sighing heavily.

They left after he gave them the tier they wanted to buy. At a very cheap price. He wanted to cry, but good thing that they didn't report him.

He glanced at the window of the opposite building. The people in black clothing were gazing at those two.

”Are they her Shadow Assassins?” The vendor asked with doubt tohimself upon noticing the ill-intent from their gazes.

The vendor immediately darted his eyes away and thought it's better to give them low price elixirs than getting himself involved by those people. At least they left without troubling him further.

The sun was almost at the center of the sky when Yman and Rea left the Elixir Stall.

Rea was so surprised after Crimson repeated to her that some people were spying on them. She doubted how he figured out because he seemed to be careless and uncaring of his surroundings.

'Could it be his Deity who figured it out?' She wondered. But she saw the Deity didn't leave his side when they were in the stall. She wasn't sure how he did it. But it made her more curious about him.

Nonetheless, she frowned when the image of someone appeared in her mind. ”Ump! That person just doesn't stop sending his people to get me.”

Yman heard the words she mumbled but he decided not to give a care about it. Though he was doubtful of her situation. He might as well ask her later about those people who wanted to abduct her.

His initial thought was some fans of her, but he could be wrong. Even the headmaster did not disclose the information.

However, Yman could not fully protect her if she won't tell him the scale of her issue.

The two of them were empty-handed at the moment.

The things they bought were stored in Rea's spatial ring, while Yman stored his in Cyber Storage. He bought some Booster Elixir, Mana Elixir, Vitality Elixir, and some Antidotes.

Seeing her panicky behavior, he leaned closer to her and whispered, ”just stay calm, and don't panic. Act like you're unaware of their presences,” Yman was giving Rea some directives. While saying these lines, his face was straight staring in front.

Rea was wondering how he could act so calm in the face of danger. Is this his battle-ready mode?' Rea couldn't help asking herself. But she liked this kind of behavior he is currently showing. He seemed more mysterious and reliable.

Regardless, he was her bodyguard. She could only depend on him at the moment.

”Mhm,” she responded to his directives with a nod while forcing herself to stay calm and unbothered like him.

Not far from them,

”Boss, they finally started to leave the place,” said Fang.

Boss Scar was staring at their figures. In his eyes was full of intent to kill the young man. 'No one has the right to stay close to His Highness woman!' He growled inside him. He had the urge to rush forward and skewered the man's body with his bare hands but he could not ruin their plan. And he was the leader of the group. So he must act by his plan.

”Just you wait idiot you will die soon.” He muttered in the air.

Seeing the figures of the two people going further and further, ”Let's go!” Said Scar to the others. ”Yes, Boss!” Then they leaped like shadows on the roof.

The urge to glance got the better of Rea. She took a quick peek at the building and saw some shadows leaping.

'They are being tailed by several people!' She exclaimed inwardly then returned her eyes to the front.

Yman was certain that those people won't act carelessly unless they were in a deserted place. So for now, they need to stay where most people are gathering while staying alert.

Then he asked Sistela for resonance. It might alert the enemy but it's better to be in their resonance beforehand so that he could cast his skills sooner whenever a battle spark.

The occasional glances from the person beside him were disregarded by him. Though he wondered why this girl loves sneaking glances at him.

'Perhaps, there's something in my face?' He thought but (Shake shake!) he shook his head to get rid of such trivial thoughts. He could not let himself get distracted in a situation like this.

”My Deity, please appraise their strengths.”

Yman asked his partner to appraise the strength of the enemy. He needed to know his enemy's strength based on the magical aura that circulating in their bodies.

After a couple of seconds,

Yman was surprised and briefly stopped on his feet when a small circular holographic object covered in front of his left eye, seemingly forming like an eyeglass lens.

Then a list of data appeared in the air. And a map outline of the place where it was being displayed.

”My Deity, what is this?” He asked. A little skeptical.

”I see.”

Upon hearing her. Yman understood that it was one of the new content added after last night UPDATE of her.

So it must be one of those things she said that 'every screen was resizable now'.

But looks like it was modeled like this for private-use while he was in a crowded place.
