Chapter 50: Suspect



Although vitality magic might not be a forbidden magic, if the village finds out, they will undoubtedly investigate all things related to it.

Aur wouldn\'t doubt the plot armour of Williams; however, it was unlikely he would be on the safe side.

Even if he was, Aur liked to control things all by himself and never let variables occur. One thing he had learned from his previous life was that variables were very troublesome things that would come back to bite you when you least expect it.

Thinking of this, Aur sighed as he stood up and walked outside.

"Lucy," Aur called his little Latina maid, and she instantly arrived in a few moments.

"Yes, young master," Lucy asked with a curious expression.

"I…"

"Oh, you are that white-haired kid who beat Williams previously, right?" Aur was suddenly interrupted by a man.

Aur frowned as he turned back to see a stern man wearing silver armour with a scar over his left eye, giving him a fierce aura.

The moment Aur saw the man, his eyes widened, not because of his fierce appearance, but because of the terrifying pressure that descended on him.

"His presence is as strong as the teachers in the academy."

"Are you Aur or not? Answer me, kid," the man said with a stern gaze.

"Yes, I am," Aur nodded his head.

"Good, then come with me."

"Huh?" Aur was stunned when he heard this. "I wonder what the teachers want from me to come with you."

"Just come with me, kid, or you will face the consequences," the man looked at Aur with a cold expression and a threatening glint in his eyes.

Aur just nodded his head as he muttered, "A wise man knows when to submit," in a hushed tone as he followed the man.

As Aur followed behind the man, thousands of thoughts swirled in his mind. However, Aur just shook his head, thinking, "I will find it out soon anyway, why make baseless assumptions?" He could only helplessly follow the man.

After all, even if he didn\'t want to follow the man, this man had the strength to capture Aur quite easily.

The man led Aur directly to the village leader\'s office under the surprised gaze of Aur.

Inside a luxurious room adorned with exquisite furnishings, an array of furniture had been meticulously and precisely placed, creating an ambiance of opulence.

On one side of the desk, an average-looking youth in casual clothing sat comfortably in his chair, while on the other end, a thin man with wrinkles covering his aged face appeared as if he were a living skeleton, his skin clinging to his bones instead of a human. His entire hair was white from old age, and he wore a classical grey suit.

In addition to them, twelve people sat with attentive postures. A closer examination revealed familiar figures, including Jonathan and Adriana. They all shared one common trait: they were teachers at the academy.

"Don\'t worry, Elder Eight, whoever killed your grandchild, I, as the village head, will ensure justice is served," Noah said with a smile on his face as he looked at the old man.

"Thank you, Village Leader, for this. I only have my grandson left as my descendant, and now my grandson is also gone…"

"I\'m sorry for your loss, Elder Eight, but…"

"You don\'t have to console me, Village Leader. I will question the killer myself and ask how they had the audacity to take my own grandson\'s life. Regardless of their answer, I will make them wish they were never born, regretting their existence until they long for death, only to be denied it." The Eight Elders eyes were already bloodshot, and the chair beneath him creaked under the pressure.

The intensity caused everyone in the room to feel their hearts skip a beat.

Seeing this, Noah\'s expression turned cold. "Calm yourself down, Elder," he commanded in an icy tone while narrowing his eyes.

"I am sorry for my outburst, Village," the old man hurriedly apologized as he retracted his pressure, causing the teachers to heave a sigh of relief.

"Only the Village Leader can control this old monster…" Adriana thought bitterly. Even though her mother was also an elder, she wouldn\'t dare confront this old man.

It wasn\'t because of his old age but rather because he was one of the strongest elders in the village, possessing peak Tier Two strength.

Although he was referred to as the Eighth Elder and was quite young compared to the other elders, when the old man was young, the village faced a crisis, and he had risen as a hero to stop it by using a forbidden spell that sacrificed his lifespan.

That\'s why the elder appeared so old already. At least, that\'s what the village had told everyone.

Soon, the other teachers began to bring in confused students one by one, including Aur himself.

Aur\'s eyes sparkled with a strange light as he observed everyone present, understanding the purpose of this gathering. However, he noticed that William was missing.

"Is he not coming?" Aur wondered with a furrowed brow.

But just as Aur began to feel disappointed, William arrived, welcomed by the instructor with a smile on his face. Behind him, the girl who had been with him earlier stayed close, hiding behind his figure.

Aur couldn\'t help but be amused. He had seen in the future that if Aur hadn\'t intervened, she would have been brutally treated by Williams. But now, she acted as though she were already William\'s lover.

Noah frowned upon seeing William\'s arrival. "My disciple, no one else is allowed to enter except for the ones we invited," he said, his tone cold but with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Master," William nodded, glancing at the girl. The girl reluctantly moved away from William\'s side and remained outside the room.

Once everything was settled, William silently took his place to the side.

"I apologize, Elder Eight, for the delay," Noah said, looking at the old man, who remained expressionless.

"It\'s nothing, Leader," the old man replied neutrally, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Alright, let\'s begin the investigation," Noah nodded, his gaze turning to the nervous students who were waiting with anticipation.

"Don\'t worry, just relax," he assured them in a simple tone, a tone that somehow calmed their nerves, washing away their anxiety.

Aur narrowed his eyes, adopting the composed demeanor of those around him.

"Good," Noah nodded with satisfaction on his face.

"I have called all of you here because the eighth elder\'s grandson has been brutally murdered, and the killer may be among you," he said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all the students were stunned, breaking out in cold sweat.

"Don\'t worry; we won\'t subject you to inhumane torture. You just need to provide detailed accounts of what you did when you last visited the academy market," Noah reassured them, pointing to a young man and instructing, "You, start describing your activities of what you did in the market that day."
