Chapter 785 - Jebra’s Invitation
The Ross Family had experienced an uneventful week if not to consider the new relationship between Neet and a servant girl who used to work at Sherry Patio. People were all wondering why Count Ross didn’t do anything about it. At this rate, the servant might actually have a chance to bond with Neet.
What was more, this had encouraged many more young ladies who had yet to find their companions to start looking.
There was another matter. The mysterious wizard visited the mansion again after a week when people thought he had left for real. But of course, no one questioned it.
Angor was taking his time in the study of the mansion while reading a book he borrowed from the city library, Dancing on Devil’s Tides. It was an adventure novel based on “Vile King” Torras as well as inaccurate historical events and the author’s imaginations. He found the book to be rather interesting because the stories were good.
Occasionally, he could reach his spirit feelers into the Church of the Deceased and check on Torras to see whether this man lived up to his name as the fierce pirate described in the book.
Torras still remained unconscious and helpless in the church, so… no. He sure didn’t look that way.
Today, Angor was reading another of Torras’ stories where the legendary pirate was fighting off a pirate clan who called themselves as “Kins of Poseidon” in order to claim leadership over the Eastern Seas. The author wasn’t good at describing the grand battle, but he did a really good job recreating the glorious image of Torras.
While reading, Angor slowly removed some black smoke from Torras’ prison. It had been three days since Torras received all of his bullets, and there were still loads of negative energy seeping out. In order not to affect Freud, who was basically Torras’ neighbor, Angor had to periodically get rid of the gathered dark energy.
Angor quickly stayed more careful. It was obvious that Jebra was trying to ascertain his recent moves.
What Jebra asked next further proved it for him.
“I’m curious though. Where have you been for your seclusion? I sent Haku to contact you a week ago, but she only found you the day before yesterday.”
Angor put on a poker face and dodged Jebra’s question. “I see. Maybe Haku is an exceptional spy, but she’s not so good at finding people. Is this why you need me here?”
“No, of course not. There’s something else…” Jebra headed deeper into the building. “Let’s talk over a drink.”
Angor nodded and followed suit.
They took their seats in a guest room and spent a moment in silence while they both thought about their own suspicions.
From what Jebra just asked, Angor knew that Jebra was attempting to find out what he did during the last week. Yet he didn’t understand why Jebra would do such a thing. He was sure he left nothing on the island that could cause Song of the Deep to target him.
