Chapter 144 - Who are you, sir? (2/2)

”Only Ur's group. Aisha, Haruhime, and Jellal weren't back yet.” Ranye said.

”I wouldn't need to worry about Haruhime with Aisha there and Jellal that grandson of mine can handle his own.” Jin muttered. Aisha was strong plus Haruhime was powerful in support magic. The combo of this two were powerful enough. And Jellal was stronger than Springgan and weaker than Acnologia. His battle power was between them, that is if Jellal doesn't use his Demon Form.

The only thing that he's worried right now were the gold in Jellal. He doesn't know when will Jellal return so he could only wait in the corner while thinking about those gold.

”Did Jellal leave anything?” He asked Ranye to make sure.

”Hmm...” Ranye out her finger on her lower lips. ”I couldn't think of anything that he leave...”

”Damn! That Jellal why didn't he leave some for me!” Jin cursed.

”Eh? What's wrong with Jellal?” Ranye asked.

”We didn't have any money here and the gold we brought were all in Jellal's pocket! I at least want to buy a decent house for us and bought a decent meal.” Jin said.

...

A blue haired young man was flying in the sky with a very fast speed. A group of people were following behind him.

”I shouldn't have fly. I accidentally enter someone's territory.” Jellal muttered as he continued to fly. He turned descend down and launched a magic attack at his pursuer.

Boom!

He just want to gathered information here and learned more about this world but he didn't think that he would enter someone else territory. He got careless and those people started to chase after him. He entered many cities and tried to shook off his pursuer but those people keep coming at him and their numbers kept increasing. Even if he took them down reinforcement kept appearing.

He didn't notice it but he travelled far away from Jin that he didn't know the way back now.

He found a garden inside the castle and tried to hide inside. He noticed that his pursuer stopped following him. He was sure that he concealed himself when entering the castle so those people didn't saw him. There's also other possibilities and that's he's inside other forces territory that those people didn't dare to enter here.

”Atleast, I shook them off.” Jellal muttered as he stood up. He looked around the garden. He doesn't know where he was right now.

While he was looking around curiously, he saw the back of a woman. The woman was wearing an elegant dress.

The woman seem to noticed him so she turned around and looked at him.

Jellal saw her face clearly. She has a short blonde hair and crimson red pupils. She carries a noble demeanor.

He frowned while looking at this woman. He felt a different aura coming out of her, clearly different from his pursuer.

”Sir, why are those people following you?” She asked while holding a beautiful flower.

Jellal didn't say anything. He didn't feel any emotions from her voice, no, it has a hint of it but it's very vague. Something has happened to her to made her like this. That's the conclusion he made in his mind.

She saw that he didn't answer. ”I will start at the introduction. I'm Valerie Tepes and who are you, sir?”
