Chapter 76 - 71 (1/2)

Hurried steps of an individual could be heard in the misty night at Lane Street. The girl around in her mid-teens stopped for a moment to catch her breath. Long eyelashes fluttered softly as her pink pouty lips panted. She had a fair skin, blonde hair and brown eyes as it mirrored her current state of being terrified.

Remembering that she was being followed, she looked back as to see the chaser. She was scared and horrified by this creep, it has been two weeks that she sensed someone was following her but it would silently disappear once she tried to confirm it, ȧssuming that she was just scaring herself, she brushed her thoughts away from it but she didn't know that the stalker would be this bold now to start his pursuit. The biting coldness of the air didn't fazed her as she was more worried with her safety

The dark alleyway was shrouded by the misty fog as it would be usually like this at Vanette Island City during night time. The island was surrounded by a body of water that gave the city in the island a cold chilling climate.

The girl in uniform was studying at Ferto Mari Academia as she was a trainee artist. She didn't have any fandom yet and it made her curious as to why this person was chasing her but she had no guts to confront the stalker as she felt that her life would easily ceased if she stopped from escaping.

'Oh no!' She thought while looking at the high wall at the end of the alley.

Footsteps echoed from her behind as she slowly turned around while trying to think positively, this must be one of her fans. Even though she was not yet famous, someone would be undeniably attracted by her looks. Nodding to herself, she gazed at the chaser. Her narcissistic thoughts was immediately buried away as her pupils dilated in maximum. She dropped to the cemented ground, breathes' ceasing.

The silver haired young man frowned from being disturbed as Art volume down the television while watching the news headlines.

”Art, wait.”

The butler was about to change the channel but Chun stopped him. In the news, a very pallid corpse was projected and a face of a girl who was admitted at Ferto Mari Academia as a trainee, displayed at the side. A cry of a woman was transmitted through the television as she tried to get close to her daughter.

It was said that this was the ninth victim of the Chaser, the infamous killer in the Vanette Island City as the culprit would chase the target first before proceeding for his kill but the strange thing was the corpses had no signs of stab wounds, slashes or any physical infliction that could kill them, it would be the usual paleness of the corpse and it's hollowed eyes.

Chun focused her attention to the reporter as she squinted her eyes in curiosity. Immediately, the television blackened as the butler called for the silver haired young man at the dinning table. It was time for dinner.

After her supper, Chun was prepared for another round of training her divine power when Art handed something to her. The seal that was attached on the envelope was familiar. It has a white star in the middle as it was being surrounded by a silver tri-rings.

'Why is this looks like our household's insignia?'

The silver haired young man almost slapped herself for being stupid as this letter came from her family household. She knew already the contents of this letter even without opening. Though Chun still decided to open it.

She unfolded the letter handed by her butler. The letter came from her father, Shenin. It told her not to go home this winter season because his uncle from Phoenix continent would be staying at the mansion. Even though it's illogical to see a King leaving their own kingdom but Zeno could do it because he's that 'incredible', dismissing his duties to the person who he trusted the most, his mother, Chun's grandmother.

The most avoided matter of Shenin occured and he didn't like this situation, when he couldn't control the outcome.

Shenin wished Chun to be healthy and always stay out of trouble, and that was the end of the letter.

The silver haired young man sighed inwardly and folded the letter. Well, she sighed because she knew already what was written on it due to her retentive memory. Reading it twice didn't make a difference.

'So what would be Art's action this time?'

Chun observed the butler intensely which made Art unknowingly tensed. Five minutes passed by and the butler was still standing motionless on his position while the young master kept staring. He had no idea what was the silver haired young man was thinking but he was sure that, this youth was scheming something.
