262 OUR CLOCK (1/2)

”What will happen?” Senja asked timidly, slightly raised her head to gauge Xiao Tianyao's expression.

”There is an old law in The Kingdom of Azura. Once you are suspected to be a mind controller, you will be burn to death. That's the punishment.”

Senja gapped in horror. The way Xiao Tianyao explained it, she felt like a description from a story about execution of people convicted as witches in Europe that took place in the early modern period or about 1450 to 1750.

They were quickly convicted and sentenced to death.

If The Kingdom of Azura treated mind controller like witches in Europe, then it was a serious situation and extremely endanger Senja's live.

”But…”

”Who else knew about this?” Xiao Tianyao cut her words strictly.

When Senja heard Xiao Tianyao question, her mind automatically gave an answer; Yoda.

But, the image that Xiao Jun and he immediately killed the witnesses of her ability made her restrained the answer.

Yang Yu could be pardoned because he was Xiao Tianyao's most trusted subordinate. But, Yoda? Senja even doubted if Xiao Tianyao would listen to her plea. She didn't want to bet with someone life, and this man most likely wouldn't hear her vouch.

So, with straight face Senja shook her head, made all of her gesture as natural as she could. ”No one.”

”Are you sure?” Xiao Tianyao asked for certainty.

”Sure,” Senja nodded to emphasize her statement. ”It was the first time I used it.”

It was indeed the first time Senja used her ability in front of Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Yang Yu. She didn't lie in some way.

The man in front of her narrowed his eyes, ”How about Yoda?” He knew that both of them were close. There must be a possibility that he knew something. He couldn't treat this issue lightly.

Damn!
