Chapter 818 - Questioned
It seemed Freud still had more to say, but he didn’t. Either because he didn’t wish to reveal too many secrets in front of Neya, or that he wasn’t confident enough in his expertise yet.
“So um, I sent the table into a dream but with no way to tell what this means to us?” Angor frowned.
“Correct.” Freud nodded.
Both Angor and Neya went agape.
When Neya read about the Dream Whelk from magazines, she thought the item possessed some kind of true value but was relatively weaker compared to “real” Mystery items.
But no! This was ACTUALLY useless!
Even though she didn’t show it before, she was still reluctant to hand over the item to Angor. But now, she felt a lot better.
The three of them spent a brief moment in the room in awkward silence.
Could it be Doctor Gurman? Did someone find my nightmare energy on him? Or did I drop something on those abandoned ships? But no… the island was utterly ruined by the time I left, along with the ships. They couldn’t possibly find traces like that.
Did they find the dried well at Sherry Patio? But I made sure I erased everything!
He failed to find anything that might contribute to his exposure. Well, maybe Gurman was a potential risk. Yet he didn’t believe that Song of the Deep or Summerdew Ridge would go talk to Gurman after they got what they needed from the mortal historian.
He maintained his poker face and tried. “I’m afraid I don’t understand you. I was recruiting at Ferran Land, and that was everything I did. Maybe I also did some alchemy work, but you were there to see it.”
“Not confessing yet, huh?” Jebra humphed. “Doesn’t matter. I’ve covered up the entire place with my water. You aren’t getting anywhere with your gravity moves!”
Angor looked around and saw a giant water dome around the royal palace. He already felt stagnant water elements around his body hindering his movement.
But it seemed Jebra had not figured out that it was more important to restrict Angor’s soul energy, especially when Angor could use Soul Link to unleash all of his abilities after ejecting his soul.
“I’ll not accept your false accusation. I do not think I did anything to upset Song of the Deep before, and the lot of you still want to press this nonsense on me. I see, are you trying to disturb my teacher by doing so, just like the Centipede Guild?”
Angor said this out loud not to Jebra, but to Neya and any other witnesses who might be watching them, if there was any.
He then silently chanted the Spirit Mantra in his mind.
Jebra had stopped talking to weigh the situation. He didn’t know why Angor suddenly mentioned Sunders like that, but he did know he had to consider Sunders’ possible reactions if he was to attack Angor.
Jebra then lowered his voice and said, “Hand over the Mystery item you stole, Mister Padt, and I’ll tell my teacher to let you go. Then we’ll consider this as something that has never happened.”
