Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 172 Andi

He went to a tree that was taller than any other and then climbed to its highest branch.

There, he created something the size of a baseball from his spiritual energy. It emitted a clear light and aura.

After observing the object for a few moments, he hung it on the branch before leaping to a leafy branch where he could hide.

The man in the wooden house was named Andi.

He was originally a highly skilled soldier, often tasked with hunting down enemies.

In ten years of his career, he almost never failed.

His talent was proven when the superpower research succeeded. Various drugs given to him integrated very well with his body, making him able to overcome any side effects.

Others had problems in some parts of their bodies, whether it was hair or skin. However, he still looked normal except that he was stronger than others.

Of course, he was not an individual who only thought about the truth. The fact was he almost didn't care about the truth. Therefore, he didn't mind doing other jobs as long as it gave him many benefits.

One example is currently where he helped keep someone else's gold.

This job gave him more money than he had ever made in his life.

This doesn't mean he never thought of doing something strange, but he knew that it was too dangerous even for him.

Tonight, he was quite happy because he found something he thought was very magical. He wasn't sure what it was because as an Evolver, his ability to investigate spiritual things was quite limited. However, his instincts always told him that he could become stronger with it as long as he used it correctly.

"Mmm..." Suddenly, he felt something. It was too clear that he thought even if he was sleeping, he would wake up from his sleep.

Hastily, he went to the window and opened it.

As he gazed into the sky, he quickly found something shining.

'What is that? Is that a meteor fragment?' He wondered as he went out through the window.

'However, how could a meteor fragment give me this feeling?' He squinted, becoming unsure but at the same time, his feet continued to walk towards the tree where the strange object was.

Because he was too curious, he jumped onto the branches of the tree without any caution.

In terms of strength, compared to Arthur or even Isabel, he was indeed lacking, but his strength was enough to jump like a monkey.

Quickly, he arrived at the highest branch where the glowing object was.

"What is this?" He took it without hesitation because his instincts didn't sense any danger at all.

Meanwhile, Arthur observed the man carefully, looking for any kind of button on his body that could contact help.

But, it seemed he was not as cautious as he imagined. Everything he wore was ordinary. He didn't even bring his phone, perhaps left it on the sofa.

Because of that, Arthur didn't hide for too long.

While the man was still examining the object in his hand, he jumped, landing right in front of him.

"H-wh?"

Seeing someone suddenly appear, he was so shocked to the point of almost falling. He didn't fall only because Arthur's hand landed on his shoulder and held him.

And Arthur's touch made him feel terrified. It gave him a sensation as if there was a steel pillar pressing on his back.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Isabel and Nova appeared on another adjacent branch. They stood there and watched.

The man, Andi, of course, didn't have time to pay attention to them with Arthur standing in front of him.

"Tell me, who is the owner of the gold under that house? If you tell me and then help me, I can consider your actions as a significant contribution," Arthur said without beating around the bush, even offering him to be a part of his cause.

Although following him was a stroke of luck, people would surely consider it an excessive arrogance.

However, the man couldn't say Arthur was arrogant because the pressure he felt from this man truly made him powerless. He thought he'd rather meet the grim reaper for now.

When he finally stabilized his mind and could speak, he asked, "W-who are you?"

"You should answer my question, not ask," Arthur replied. He slightly pressed the man's shoulder, causing his skin to turn pale as if the blood in his body stopped flowing.

"Don't you want to answer?" Isabel, who was watching from the side, finally spoke.

She jumped behind the man while releasing lightning from her hands.

Instantly, the darkness became very bright because of her lightning.

Andi couldn't help but look back and was immediately surprised when he saw Isabel's face.

"Y-you're Mrs. Isabel?" He said spontaneously.

"Oh, so you know me?" Isabel wasn't so surprised because she was used to being recognized by strangers.

Of course, Isabel's confirmation further surprised Andi because as far as he knew, this woman was a member of Congress. Why did she suddenly appear here, and even able to release lightning? Was she also an Evolver?

If so, then she was a very powerful Evolver because even those who had special abilities couldn't use them easily. She was one of the examples.

"You're supposed to be a native European, right?" Isabel asked.

Because he knew her, Isabel thought she could influence his mind.

To reach her current position, she certainly wasn't just lucky. One of the most important factors was her ability to gain followers.

Like Jade, for example, is a example of how she can attract someone to stand by her side. And she did that effortlessly, just something that happened because Jade often saw her on TV.

When she deliberately took action to get someone to stand by her side, even the elite could be conquered.

This is something that people often refer to as leadership ability.

Because she has leadership abilities, she practically also has the ability to gain followers.

Andi may not be an ordinary human, but how long has he been like that? Before this, he was just a soldier better than the rest.

Unconsciously, the man nodded after being asked by Isabel.

Arthur thought she might really be able to get the man to talk, so he didn't say anything else, handing this matter over to his aunt.
