Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 351 Owen's Speculation

?

"I think we've met," Ayumi said suddenly.

Perhaps it wasn't strange since elites like them could have met on certain occasions.

Upon hearing Ayumi's voice, Owen suddenly seemed to remember something.

"You're the Crown Princess of Japan?" he said with a shocked expression.

He finally remembered that yesterday the terrorists he was watching over had kidnapped the Second Princess of Japan.

However, why were the two princesses here now?

No, how could they be with Arthur?

What is their relationship?

Owen was suddenly filled with questions as he could not connect Arthur with the two princesses from Japan.

"We are here to ask you a question," Arthur said, kneeling in front of him so that he was closer to him.

Hearing that, Owen who was in a weakened state immediately snorted coldly. "Don't think about it, I won't tell you anything."

"Are you sure?" asked Arthur. "A man like you who is spoiled by wealth should have a weaker mentality. Ordinary people may be able to get you to talk, but you know, I am a Magus. I can give you pain beyond your imagination so that you will instantly forget all the pleasure you have ever felt."

Arthur's voice was mixed with magic which then caused vibrations that shook the hearts of those who heard it. Even Yukiko felt uncomfortable, not to mention Owen who was only human.

"What do you want to ask?" he asked spontaneously, obviously affected.

"I want to know your reason for ordering people to commit terror?" Arthur started with the first question.

Right after he said that, Ayumi suddenly said, "You better answer honestly!"

While saying that, she took out a knife and threw it down, striking right beside Owen's ear, causing the man's head to shake.

He was shocked and scared because of Ayumi's throwing skills.

And when he looked into her eyes that had turned cold, his heart shook even more, as if he was face-to-face with the Grim Reaper.

In the end, even answering became difficult for him.

However, it also managed to intimidate him to such a high point that the thought of refusing to answer disappeared faster than the wind.

"I just want to make officials from other countries wary of Middle Easterners," he said in a trembling voice, an answer that made Arthur and Ayumi stare at each other with strange expressions.

"Is that to get them to come to the Middle East and fight?" asked Arthur and Owen spontaneously nodded because his guess was correct.

The conclusion of all this was that what Rose had told Arthur was probably true.

Making war constantly in a certain region in the Middle East so that one day it would be empty.

"What was that all for?" asked Arthur once again before Owen could answer.

This kind of thing could indeed be said to be very strange, making him wonder what was really hidden in that region.

In the Sky World, this also happened often although the method used there was more direct and open, such as directly expelling the people in the area to be vacated.

The reasons for this also varied, but more often it was because the region had something amazing or someone wanted to do something big there.

Owen's mouth opened when he heard Arthur's question, looking like he wasn't sure how to answer it.

"You'll regret being born into this world if you don't say it," Arthur added, which made his mouth open wider.

But then, he suddenly shook his head.

"I really don't know anything," he said in a panicked tone, worried that Arthur would do what he said.

The answer was exactly what Ayumi had predicted, that the family member wouldn't know, and Arthur agreed.

However, he still wanted to know Owen's guess.

"Tell me whatever you think about it," he continued. "Whether it's your guesses, suspicions, or speculations."

Arthur was certain that Owen's guesses, suspicions, or speculations were very close to the truth because every single one of them must have been the result of his observations.

Owen was silent after hearing that, knitting his brows as if he was thinking.

"Say it quickly!" Ayumi suddenly snapped at the man again, this time stomping on the man's foot so hard that he let out a loud scream.

"I just think that they want to make something there." The man finally said it, but it wasn't anything obvious either.

Unfortunately, Arthur didn't see any lies on his face, he probably really only knew up to that point.

However, that didn't mean the question was over.

Arthur asked again, "if you think I want to know, where do I need to look other than the Five Councils?"

"You know about the Five Councils?" Apparently, that surprised Owen even more.

"Answer my question," Arthur replied in such a cold tone that Owen was intimidated again.

"M-maybe you should come to Mossad." The man replied.

"Mossad huh?" Arthur couldn't help but smile when he heard that while Ayumi knitted her brows.

In the end, everything was a single entity that was impossible to separate.

Arthur then stood up and sighed.

"I think it ends here," he said to Ayumi.

Perhaps if he wanted more information, Suzune and Rebecca would be helpful.

"What are you doing to him now?" asked Ayumi, glancing at Owen.

The latter seemed to be feeling better already so his thoughts were also more stable.

He was somewhat regretful and embarrassed for being intimidated and ended up continuing to answer Arthur's questions.

Unfortunately, even like that, he was still afraid of saying something bad.

Especially under the current circumstances, he was worried that Arthur would do something bad to him again.

"I think I have a good plan!" Arthur answered Ayumi's question and smiled faintly.

And his smile made Owen tremble again.

As for the plan, it was actually to exchange Owen for money to the Armstrong Family. He didn't know if it would work or not, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Returning Owen was also fine as long as he was already unable to say anything, driving him crazy or whatever.

It was much better than having to hide the man. Besides, hiding him would cost money too.
