Chereads / Strange Worlds / Chapter 28 - Eavesdropping

Chapter 28 - Eavesdropping

As the children ran out of the room, Aya silently cut off the mana supply to her system and then activated her eyes.

'Crystal eyes.'

Aya was lowering her head, pretending that she was scared and run away with the children to the training grounds but her pupil had already changed. There was a beautiful crystal right in the middle of her pupil and it rotated to look at the situation behind her. 

"Are we all going to leave, Fourth Head?" The Green Family Patriarch asked uncomfortably. He felt that they could leave more people in the city to protect the people there. After all, his son had just been born not long ago and if possible, the Green Family Patriarch wished to stay behind and protect his son. 

"Nothing can be done." the Fourth Head of the Wansu City shook his head. "You know Xunsu City is the biggest city aside from us. If we didn't send most of the manpower, we won't be able to win this war."

"But…"

"There's no but." the Fourth Head of the Wansu City glanced at the Green Family Patriarch. "If you're worried, win the war at the fastest speed possible and then come back."

Facing the Fourth Head of the Wansu City's order, the Green Family Patriarch clenched his fist and replied, "I know, Fourth Head."

After hearing the Green Family Patriarch's words, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City nodded in satisfaction. He expected his students to listen to their teacher. His eyes moved towards the room where the baby was located. "How's your child's talent?"

"Fourth Head, that's…"

"If his talent is good, I can also help to raise him up. You know, Wansu City needed more powerful magic warriors and my old friend is also interested in a child from the Green Family," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City said slowly.

The Green Family Patriarch's eyes narrowed. "There's no need for that, Fourth Head. I can take care of my child…"

The next moment, Aya shut her crystal eyes off. 

Facing against powerful mages such as the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and the Green Family Patriarch, she might still be found. The current her didn't have that powerful magic that was capable of destroying cities yet.

She could only eavesdrop for a very short moment.

After this, Aya supplied the mana to her system again and felt a bit weak. 

'It seems that the consumption is still a bit big.'

Aya sighed deeply.

She's only four years old and a few months old. It was really hard for this small body to hold so much mana. If not because she had to supply a lot of mana every day to maintain her system, it was estimated that her body would have collapsed first because it was not strong enough to hold so much mana.

Her physical training had to be hastened even further. 

While many mages have weak bodies and strong mana, but the really strong ones would have powerful physical bodies too aside from strong magic. 

This was also Aya's goal.

She wouldn't be able to survive on her own without a strong physical body.

'But why did Fourth Head interested in Kei?'

Aya frowned. 

There was no way that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City could know what Kei would do in the future, so he should only be interested in the boy's talent.

The Green Family was known for having a large amount of mana…

But Aya still couldn't think of what the Fourth Head of the Wansu City wanted to do.

Moreover, he mentioned the word 'old friend' and Aya didn't know much about the higher management in Wansu City.

*Sigh*

It was really complicated. 

Bump!

"Ah, Aya, are you alright?" Evan quickly supported Aya.

They have stopped at some point and because Aya was distracted by the mana that she had to supply to the system, she didn't pay attention to where they were going and crashed into her cousin. 

"I'm fine." Aya quickly waved her hand and looked at the surroundings. "Are we going to train here?"

"Eh, Teacher Nelia usually trains us here, so we automatically ran here." Nisa scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.

Their bodies unconsciously brought themselves here without them realizing. 

It was truly not intentional.

"Well, we can practice a bit before going out." Nathan raised his hand and then looked at the two people who came with them with a big grin. "I'm Nathan Green. My dream is to become the next head of Wansu City! Nice to meet you two!"

"I'm Evan White and this is Aya White," Evan quickly introduced the two of them.

Aya looked at Nathan and blinked her eyes.

He wanted to become the next head of Wansu City?

From what she knew, Nathan would never achieve this dream because he would pursue revenge for the rest of his life after the death of his brother and sister in law. 

And his ending…

It was far from good.

And if Aya had to say, the person who should have died the most was the Fourth Head of the Wansu City instead of the other people in the city.

Of course, she couldn't say it out loud.

Before the war with Xunsu City, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City's prestige was still very high.
