Chapter 162 - Commotion (1/2)
My eyesight recovered rather swiftly after escaping from the onslaught of fire. Before I even managed to see everything clearly, just by looking upwards I was able to see a tall figure with reddish colour climbing to the skies. Only after my sight finally recovered completely did I realise that it was, in fact, my spell!
But it's not a time to marvel at the might of my capabilities. Discovering who was inside the room won't be hard for literally anyone who could be bothered to do so, and considering the sheer scale of the commotion that was already appearing everywhere around, someone would investigate this issue.
This was a gross mistake from me! If I don't do something fast, people will start asking questions that I would like to avoid if I want to keep the existence of my system and my extraordinary capabilities away from common view!
”TREASON!”
With no other idea how I should divert the attention from the crowd, I shouted as loud as I could, falling to my knees.
”SOMEONE TRIED TO KILL US!”
Well, blaming this situation at non-existing assassin works in many ways. Not only I will be able to push the blame, but both my dear cousin and Baxhar with his entourage will also have to be wary of an unknown third party trying to meddle with me and Eve!
”Are you okay?”
As soon as my shouts were picked up by the crowd, someone approached us and offered his hand while helping me to stand up. Grabbing his extended arm, I used it to straighten myself up, before turning to Eve and embracing her tightly.
”I'm so glad we survived.”
Pushing the head of my beloved on my shoulder to hide her puzzled expression, I started trembling. It took her a good while to realise my intentions but as soon as she did, her body almost instantly melted down to the point where I had to support her!
”Someone call the medic! Here, have this rejuvenation pill!”
Wow! I didn't expect a random stranger to pass such a valuable item to us! If not for the fact that it was all a ruse, I would gladly accept it! While I might be shameless in many situations, I can't accept honest help when I don't need it!
”Eve, are you injured?”
