Chapter 51: Eight Elder and Amelia



Initially, the Eighth Elder had been known as a kind and gentle figure. However, as he grew older and lost his descendants to old enemies, he became increasingly senile and cruel over time.

His grandson had been the only remaining family member, and the Elder had doted on him dearly. But now, with his grandson\'s death, it seemed that the last straw that had kept the old man sane had been broken.

The man was surprised that the Eighth Elder remained silent instead of going berserk, and he couldn\'t help but wonder why. Still, he didn\'t falter as he finished giving all his details and bowed while patiently waiting.

Noah seemed to have a thoughtful expression as he said, "You can go back now."

"Yes, village leader," the man said with a sigh of relief and went back.

"Next," Noah announced.

One by one, all of them started to describe what they did and why everyone had gone to the market. Finally, after a troublesome hour, Aur\'s turn finally came.

"I greet the leader and the elder," Aur said, expressing himself with a stoic demeanour, which went unacknowledged. He himself didn\'t care and proceeded to give them his summary.

"I went to the market; however, I didn\'t want my maid following me, so I went alone and found a guy there to guide me. He welcomed me to the biggest shop in the place, and there I got my first magic book...." Aur narrated with an expressionless tone, similar to most others in the room.

The Ninth Elder nodded his head expressionlessly.

Noah frowned, a smile appearing on his face. "Were you the one who beat my disciple?"

Aur had a confused expression on his face, but he suddenly recalled his previous vision.

"Oh, I forgot, I haven\'t announced it yet, but Williams is my disciple now officially…" Noah declared expressionlessly.

Instantly, the entire room buzzed as teachers and students looked at Noah in disbelief. Noah had only taken Williams when he was with the elders and the news wasn\'t spread yet which caused everyone to be clueless that Williams was Noah, the patriarch\'s disciple.

"Yes, leader, I beat him up," Aur said expressionlessly.

Noah\'s eyes narrowed as he looked at Aur, while Aur just stood tall like a mountain. A strange silence descended on the scene as everything seemed to have become frozen.

The teachers were strangely silent, which caused the others to fall into silence as well, while the Eighth Elder had uncaring eyes.

"Hahaha." The strange silence lasted only for a minute before it broke with the laughter of Noah, which resounded in the entire room.

"Good, good, I like you. You are courageous," Noah said with a thumbs up. "You can go now."

"Yes, leader," Aur said with respect as he returned to his seat.

"This guy has some discipline. I will spare his life," Noah thought with a strange glint in his eyes.

Aur walked back to his own place with an expressionless expression.

The others were curiously looking at Aur with an amused gaze; however, they were a little disappointed. "Looks like this guy is getting off scot-free. It\'s all thanks to the grace of our leader."

Noah smiled as he looked at the old man again. "I hope you didn\'t mind my disruption, Eighth Elder."

"No worries," the Eighth Elder said with a calm tone in his stoic expression.

"Thank you, Eighth Elder, now we can continue."

The Eighth Elder nodded his head with a calm expression.

"Next."

Soon, the others came forward as well to give their testimony, and at last, it was Williams\' turn again.

As William went forward, suddenly the Eighth Elder\'s eyes narrowed; however, his expression was still stoic, not revealing any emotion. Just the narrowed gaze of the Eighth Elder caused William to break out in a cold sweat.

"This…" William started to tremble involuntarily.

"Eighth Elder." Noah\'s cold voice woke William as he finally snapped out from his fearful state.

"I know you are in an unstable mood; however, that doesn\'t mean you can attack my disciple for no reason." His cold voice made the entire room take a deep breath.

The Eighth Elder narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the outside of the room.

"You are right, leader," he nodded his head as he withdrew his gaze, and the pressure emitting from him vanished.

William also started to explain all the things that had happened to him; however, he didn\'t mention finding the girl or the killed body, which made the stoic Eighth Elder frown momentarily. However he soon returned to his previous calmness.

"Oh boy, you are in trouble now…" Asmodeus\'s cold voice rang in William\'s ears, which he skilfully ignored.

"Very well, my disciple, you can go back now," Noah said with a nod.

"So what do you think, Eighth Elder? Do you doubt anyone?"

The old man suddenly smiled, breaking free from his stern expression as he looked at everyone with a warm gaze. "You are right, Village Leader. I have done a great crime to suspect the future of our village. I hope you can forgive me."

"It\'s alright, Eighth Elder. Everyone makes mistakes," Noah said as his smile brightened.

"Very well, then, students, you can all return to your own classrooms. Remember to work hard if you want to stay inside the academy," Noah said as he beckoned, and everyone went away, including the teachers.

However, almost everyone had a confused expression on their faces.

"Why did you even call us then?"

"I will leave as well, Village Leader. I have an important thing to do, which might need some preparation. Hope you can forgive me."

Noah patted the old man with a brother\'s hug and greeted him out of his office.

As he returned, the friendly smile turned into a cold expression as he seated back into his own.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, he heard a knock, which made a frown appear on his face as he looked at the door as if he could see right through it.

"Come in."

The cold voice of his rang in the air, and the door opened, revealing a pink-haired beauty in a kimono. From the kimono, you could see a huge knocker in her chest area.

As she came in, swinging her curvaceous figures that had all the fat in the right place.

"Father, why are you frowning?" she asked with a curious expression.

"Just the Eighth Elder\'s son was killed, and it became troublesome…" Noah said with a frown.

"Huh, why is it troublesome for you, Father?"

When Noah heard this, he didn\'t reply. Instead, he looked at his daughter. "Why are you interested in other matters? You should train instead, Amelia," he said with a stern expression.

"Yes, Father," Amelia replied in a deflated state.

"Good," Noah replied as he started to talk. "Do you know who killed the man?"

"Isn\'t that supposed to still be under investigation, Father?" she asked with a curious expression.

"No," Noah replied with a sneer on his face. "Do you think, after having such surveillance, we would let the murderer slip by besides the murderer has a living evidence following him around."
