Corrupted soul

Great danger!

On the outside of the building, under the clear blue skies that stretched as far as the eyes could see the sun was still out filling the world with much of its warm radiance.

On the left side of the inn, Kenta was resting a figure could be seen gazing at him through the opened window.

The woman had her long ponytail swaying gently in the cool wind as she observed him with a serene expression on her face. "Should I attack now?" A cold yet melodious voice sounded between those luscious red lips as she narrowed her eyes.

The orders were to capture him and bring him back alive, which means Wyatt probably wants to kill him himself. The young black-haired woman was rather indecisive about her next actions. 'What an unusual aura.' She thought to herself, the aura surrounding Kenta was rather peculiar in her eyes. She had never felt anything like it in her entire life. She could easily feel danger and yet, there was a strange feeling of peace emanating from his aura.

Soon... the black-haired woman glanced around her surroundings with a thoughtful expression on her face, "It's too crowded, maybe I should attack once the sun sets." She muttered as her body became a blur and she disappeared from that spot.

Many people could be seen moving around the crowded streets.

No one notice that someone was standing on top of a building observing them mere moments ago as her presence was hidden. However, not far away.

"Interesting." Jessica who was observing the area around the inn from the eyes of her flying beast said aloud. "Hm... Interesting? What's interesting?" Leroux asked, confused. They were walking through the streets together but, he didn't have a way of observing the area like Jessica could.

"It seems they are already after him. That man works fast." She replied. A look of amusement appeared on her face.

'Though, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, anyone with enough influence could have spies freely moving around.' She thought, "Well, isn't that bad should we move fast to get to the boy? If he dies all our time would be wasted." Leroux said, frowning. However, just as he was about to increase his speed Jessica's small and delicate hand stop him.

"... If he dies, then it just means we were wrong about him." She said in a detached tone. "Besides... his spy is a very troublesome woman.... it seems he managed to get someone from that clan of ninja who lived far in the northern mountains." Jessica explained.

"Eh? That clan... I'm surprised one of them would be in a city like this." Leroux scratches the back of his head and he sighed. "So, what now?" He questioned. "We wait... personally, I'd like to see more of that boy's capability. Let's see if he has what it takes to survive this new threat." She answered, as her red lips turned upwards.

'Unlike those incompetent bodyguards of that spoiled 'Young master' This woman is many times more dangerous, let's see what other abilities you got up your sleeves.' She secretly thought.

....

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city of Azuri...

Michael Mathew was currently lounging within a mansion that was three times as big as his sister's orphanage.

He sat down alone sipping tea prepared by one of the maids that was serving him.

Knock! Knock!

Soon a knock came from the door, he sent one of the maids a sidelong glance, understanding his intentions she bowed her head reverently before opening up the door, standing in the hallway was a middle-aged man dressed in a knight attire, with a longsword sheath at his waist.

His black hair was slit back and his beard trim perfectly.

Upon seeing the man standing behind the door, the maids eyes widen slightly as she took a step back and lowered her head before promptly moving to the side.
