….

Ignoring everyone’s hostile and unpleasant gaze, Leylin kept walking and signalled France to lead the way. Under the constant vigilance of everyone in the mansion, Leylin and Frace steadily moved to the study room, where Ramon Greg is usually present. It’s his work space, as a City Lord of such a busy place he has many things to take care of.

“Young Miss, Master is waiting for you”

The attendant on the door gave a small bow of courtesy to France and opened the gates, it seems as though he was ordered to directly let them inside. He showed no response to Leylin’s presence and didn’t obstruct his entry either.

Leylin remained calm and composed as he enter inside, obviously he held the bunch in no regards, but still he didn’t act very conceited in an uncharted territory.

He is way past the period where he was too arrogant for his own good, even the little episode with France’s brother was his way of ruffling the feathers and examining the response.

From what he got so far, it seems that this Ramon is definitely plotting something. There is an undercurrent thought process and possibly a trick that he may want to pull. This much patience is too odd. Although his position and prestige doesn’t hold lots of strength in a greater prospect, he is an important figure in a strategically important area, he must have lots of connection with important people, not to mention the ‘backing’ and background he has.

‘Only it’s not so easy to deal with a Magus’ Leylin eyes went cold, but he decided not to act first since he wanted to understand the situation a bit more for his liking.

After entering the room, what welcomed him was a well maintained room with a strict cleanliness and properly placed furniture. Immediately after entering instead, one is greeted by a small hall like a waiting room, there was a couch with table and some refreshments.

At the end of this waiting room, there is an office like space behind closed doors.

France walked up to the door and knocked twice, and in response a slightly old but strong voice replied, “Come in”.

France nodded towards Leylin and opened the gates entering the room with Leylin in tow. Leylin stepped inside and looked around the room, in the left side of the room he saw a small library with many books placed together in rows under different shelves.

From just the cover and grandeur in which they were stored, he could see that this is Ramon’s personal collection.

After resisting the urge to dig into them, Leylin brought his attention to the broad table and a man standing on the other side of the room, seemingly happy to see his daughter.

He looked like a middle aged man with slightly bald head but looked very well groomed, his face blossomed into a shape of flower after seeing France but Leylin could faintly detect his surveillance on him. There was slight confusion, vigilance and a fierce glit in his eyes.

“Dad, I am back! ” France immediately leapt into his embrace as she acted like a spoiled child. Ramon hugged her and seemed very happy but his attention was still present on Leylin. He could detect great danger from Leylin and this didn’t put his mind in peace at all.

Leylin looked at the reunion and kept a cold face. He showed no signs of goodwill at all. why? because he could faintly detect presence of another being in this room, one which is right behind him. Although there was no bloodlust coming from the figure, Leylin can easily interpret that it’s attention were definitely not pure. It’s maybe Ramon’s tamed beast, that is behind him to ambush him from a blind spot, once the talks go South.

“It’s good to see you back, love. who might this friend of yours be? ” Ramon asked in a gentle voice as he switched the conversation in Leylin’s direction.

France bowed her head looking at the floor and faintly blushed as she took a step to introduce Leylin, ” Dad, this is-”

*Swish*

As France started to introduce Leylin, Ramon eyes went exceedingly cold and as if a cue, a black shadowy figure immediately attacked from behind, dealing a move at a fatal angle against Leylin.

Leylin’s eyes widen at the amazing speed in which the attack was coming. He was also confused at the sudden aggression. Even if he knew that there was something there behind him, he couldn’t have possibly thought that it could attack as such an ridiculous speed and even so without any reason. The attack was ruthless, precise and with no extra movement exactly like an Assassin.

*Puff*

The attacker connected with it’s surprised blow but unexpectedly the attacker phased out of Leylin’s body like he was some sort of a phantom or ghost. Leylin body scattered like particles which reunited to form his figure again.

Leylin obviously used Shadow concealment to make himself untouchable.

*boom*

Due to the absurd speed at which the attacker was coming the it crashed against the table and the table was broken into a thousands pieces after the impact creating great noise and dust inside the room.

Leylin stopped his spell and finally had a look at the attacker, He was pleasantly surprised to see the aggressor. it was a – Slayer Lynx.

“So you aren’t a mere Corporal stage after all. You are actually a Sergeant Stage beast tamer! ” Leylin announced in amusement. The City Lord was actually hiding his true strength and power creating a false image about his supposed strength, “Sadly, It’s still not good enough and this changes nothing !”

Although Leylin doesn’t know much about the beast world and it’s cultivation technique as well as different beasts name and ability. He has gathered some information regarding common ones from France and has seen this particular Beast. This beast is none other than a stronger or more accurately, an evolved version of France’s Assassin cat. As for how this evolution works, he got no idea.

He knows from France’s memories that the reason why Ramon wanted her to have this particular beast is because he has similar aptitude to her and he also had an Assassin cat.

But exceeding the expectations, Ramon has already reached Sergeant stage and his Beasts evolved into Slayer Lynx.
