God's Eyes

Chapter 672 - Premonition

While the powerhouses were talking about Jason, the person they spoke about was minding his own business, inspecting the Spiral Spirit egg from up close.

Examining the egg's interior thoroughly by using the Emperor Eyes with a large amount of mana, gave him an extraordinary advantage.

He had already forgotten about the earlier incident, and there was only his premonition and the Devir's weird behavior that lingered in his mind.

As such, it was not long before Jason raised his head, averting it from the Spiral Spirit egg as he remarked,

"After you indirectly announced that I'm the City Lord's disciple, which is, by the way, a big lie, the Devir, who was responsible for the bi-annual event of the auction house, became very disappointed all of a sudden.

It was almost as if he felt bad that I'm the City Lord's disciple.

I have a feeling as if something bad will happen in the next few days… Please inform the City Lord about it. She is more likely to listen to you than me…"

Before, Jason had expected that Jennifer would never lie, except about the identity, but it was a surprise for him to see her blatantly lie to several Specta powerhouses, dragging him and the City lord into an awkward situation.

However, this lie had allowed him to witness the Devir's expression.

When Jennifer heard Jason's comment about the Devir, she wanted to shake it off, thinking that he was just exaggerating things after the small incident had happened.

Yet, the moment she saw the expression on his face, Jennifer couldn't help but think that Jason was more serious about this than she had expected.

There were many things she didn't know about Jason, but the trace of sadness that could be seen deep within his eyes, was an indicator that she should listen to his words.

In the end, it was always better to be safe than sorry as it would ensure that they would be alive and not run into unnecessary troubles that can be easily avoided.

Thus, Jennifer didn't even waste any time. Taking out the messenger card, she called her master, who answered her only a short while later.

"Jen, is the event at the auction house already over? I hope you showed everyone clearly that we are not to be taken lightly!

Did you find something for yourself too, or were all purchases you did for the cadets and others, again?"

Jason didn't expect the City Lord to be so talkative, but instead of saying anything he remained silent as Jennifer answered her question,

"The event is over, and it was a success! There was a small incident because Miranda and the Aeus' 21st Prince tried to play around with Jason, but I will report everything to you later in detail, Master.

The reason I gave you a call right now is that we should take some pre-measurements to defend against a possible attack.

After the incident occurred, we encountered the person in charge of the auction house, and the Devir was overly interested in Jason, exactly because of the said incident.

As such, I simply said that you are waiting for us, so we could leave quietly.

The important point here is that the auction house authority's reaction was extremely weird after I said this!

It was almost as if he was disappointed!"

Jennifer explained everything important in a short moment before she quieted down, awaiting her master's reply.

However, nothing happened, and it was only after a minute that Jennifer and Jason heard a sigh as Luna said,

"You said that I'm waiting for Jason? That rumor will be a hassle to get rid of…"

Jason couldn't help but frown when he heard this and he almost slapped his forehead, only to lament in his mind.

'If that's her issue, she is either too confident, or I shouldn't have worried about them, at all…'

Yet, a moment after he thought that, Jennifer's reaction clearly showed that she didn't think that the situation was funny at all.

The more she thought about what Jason had said, the more reasonable it sounded.

Not only had the Devir eyed him the entire time he had been around, but he hadn't even received a warning, let alone a punishment by the auction house for releasing bloodlust.

This should have happened under normal circumstances, yet, in the end, it didn't!

As such, given the interest of the Devir, he would have talked to Jason, and tried to lure him over, even if Jennifer said that her master was waiting for him.

'Something is definitely off!' She thought.

Unfortunately, the City Lord didn't seem to take the situation seriously.

However, this was proven wrong as Luna suddenly cautioned them.

"You two should just come back, the faster the better. Let's not talk over the messenger card!"

She sounded more serious than before, but at the same time, it felt like she was already aware of something they didn't know.

As such, Jennifer sprouted her white wings before she soared into the air, followed by Jason, who manifested Artemis' wings.

The little owl was already nagging him to hand over the Frozen Lunarium to her.

But, instead of doing so, Jason wanted to wait a little bit, until they would find out what was going on in Lanro.

It didn't take long before they arrived inside the City Lord's manor and approached the main hall, where Luna was already waiting for them.

There were a few more people, and all of them were responsible for matters related to the house, or city.

Jason was the only male and the odd man out but that didn't matter right now because it looked like every single responsible authority had gathered.

It was unexpected, but Jason felt that it was an extremely good sign to see everyone.

However, at the same time, it made him feel like the City Lord was already aware of everything that might happen.

He and Jennifer were the last to arrive, and with everyone important present, Luna made a seemingly nonchalant announcement that caused everyone to feel uncomfortable, angry and frustrated.

"A few days ago, the old Monarch of the Aeus race made a proposal to the Devir race, stating that they should form a temporary truce because of the dangers that are looming around and within the Julandra region.

Apparently, there are a few other races that try to infiltrate resourceful areas on the outskirts of the Julandra region.

However, that is most likely not the main reason for the Aeus race to propose a temporary truce.

This morning, I heard that three of the Tritans' hidden training camps had been raided, and there is not even a single survivor from any of the three camps!

From the mana fluctuations and other clues we found, we could conclude that the perpetrators belonged to both the Aeus and Devirs.

It almost looks like the Devirs accepted the truce because they found out the Tritans' secrets, which makes them more dangerous to both races than each other's existence.

Nothing has been proven yet but even if it might be wrong, it is a fact that two cadet training camps were raided!"

After the City lord said this, a murmur resounded through the main hall, however, the City Lord wasn't done yet so she continued,

"If I'm not completely wrong, we have a traitor in the rows of the Tritans, and they exposed that we are supporting the Tritans!

Without evidence, the Aeus and Devirs shouldn't be able to do anything to us, but that is only officially.

We should prepare for the Aeus and Devirs' unofficial means to get back at us and take care of the issue… Let's prepare to be assassinated!"
