Chapter 883

(Unedited)

…

Inside a studio, a group of people left along with the band that played the backup music. The band members are all wearing hoods even though they are inside the small studio. The mysterious air around them made some of the people interested in looking at them.

The woman walking in front of them is tall at about 1.72 meters or 5'8 feet in height. She has beautiful features but her age looks a bit mature due to her makeup. From what Shin Jiao could see, she is around 20 and she seems to carry an air of aloofness in her.

When the group soon arrives in the hall where many people are waiting. They immediately attracted the crowd.

"Miss Isabel! Miss Isabel! I am from Central Town Fast Radio news… The song just now, how are you able to write it so wonderfully?" a female reporter said while a floating notebook is hovering above her head.

One could tell that the reporter is a mage. Some of the reporters also know this same useful magic as they tried to push their way forward.

Before this, these reporters would only write in newspapers with limited capability to be spread wide and is only famous in Central Town. However, with the introduction of the radio, the spreading of the news in the town and the nearby villages has also changed.

With the now wide coverage of the radio which has already extended even towards Main Arjing City which is a few thousand kilometers away, the popularity of the new media became widespread. Hence, these journalists try to vie for the first to get their news around, especially to the well-known singer and songwriter, Isabel Nightingale.

When Isabel heard the question, she just looks at the reporter and then flashed a beautiful smile but did not say a thing.

Then suddenly another one asked.

"The Viscount is going to hold a large banquet in Main Arjing City, is Miss Nightingale invited?"

Everyone seems to have quieted down with this question and then shifted their gaze to the reporter and back to Isabel.

Isabel this time showed a hesitant look in her eyes. But then she smiles faintly.

"I have not received an invitation. The banquet is only for important people. I dare not enter such a high-class occasion…" she replied then continues walking.

"Miss Isabel…"

"Miss Nightingale…"

The reporters tried to call, but she did not turn back and politely exited the building and entered their carriage.

Once inside the long carriage, some of the people with her remove their hood, while others did not. These people are elves and did not always want to flaunt their almost perfect visage to others.

Then one of them suddenly asked.

"Isabel, don't you want to go to Main Arjing City?"

"Sigh… I do, but… I guess my popularity is not that high yet. I want to perform in front of those nobles in the city. That would be a grand scene…" she said with her eyes twinkling.

"Yeah, we too wanted to accompany you there…" one of the female elves said.

"But elves are not permitted to enter the cities. The humans are very protective of those places…" an older-looking elf said with a frown.

"I know… I guess that is the reason why I have not received an invitation. Well, I would not want to sing if you guys are not with me… Ever since we banded together, we have been a group… I don't want us to separate just like that." Isabel said with a determined tone.

"Haha… You silly little girl. We do not mind, ever since your master entrusted you to our care, we've been a family. With your voice and our instruments, we can spread the joy of music everywhere…"

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao who became interested in the group showed a faint smile on his face.

He could not deny the fact that the woman named Isabel truly has an angelic voice. He also knew that if she could sing in the city, then more people especially the nobles would be attracted to her. With that attraction, his group's path in entering the inner kingdom would become cemented.

With this in mind, Shin Jiao decided to reveal himself.

The carriage is traveling on the stone-paved road of the town's street when a figure suddenly appears in front of them. The Windfalls dragging the carriage suddenly stopped making everyone inside feel baffled.

The coachman who is looking at Shin Jiao with both fear and befuddlement did not make any more. How could he when his body is already frozen in fear?

"What is happening?" everyone inside the carriage asked in confusion.

Then the carriage door open and they all saw a tall man who looks like in his late 30's. His handsome and mature feature has taken aback some of the female elves inside the carriage.

Shin Jiao is now looking at around five figures who are neatly seated inside the long carriage and then his eyes landed on the only human.

"Miss Isabel Nightingale, I presume…" Shin Jiao asked.

Everyone did not answer, but the elves have already prepared themselves to fight. With the invisible pressure alone that is exuding from the man in front of them, they knew that his strength is not weak.

"I am Shin Jiao of the Mystique Shop. I would like to invite Miss Isabel and her companion to accompany me for a night stroll and some chat… Would that be alright?" Shin Jiao asked politely.

Hearing this, the elves gripped with weapons inside their robes. They would not dare to underestimate the human before them.

"What is this about?" Isabel who noticed the tension did not want her 'family' to be in trouble so she wanted to take a step forward since this person's target is her.

"Hmm…"

Before Shin Jiao could say anything, one of the female elven suddenly exclaimed as if realizing something.

"Mystique Shop… The Mystique Shop?" she asked with an exaggerated expression.

Everyone seems to have realized something as they all look at the man who is standing calmly outside the carriage. Even Isabel seems to have an inkling of what is happening as a trace of excitement could be seen on her beautiful face.

"Mister… What is this about?" she asked as she slowly alighted from the carriage.

When she was on by the door, Shin Jiao extended his hand to grab hers for support. She calmly touches his hand and got off the carriage.

But that touch made Shin Jiao feel something. It is like slight energy entering his body and slowly penetrating his dantian.

He did not know what it was, but also could not explain it. So he did not show his confusion on his face.

After everyone alighted from the carriage, the group began walking down the street. However, what baffled them is that it seems that the people could not recognize who they are. Isabel in particular is well-known because many people are familiar with her face due to her exposure to the many musical shows that are being held in Central Town and the nearby villages.

But for some reason, the people somehow could not recognize them.

"Is this an enchantment?" ask one of the older male elves.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head as they continue walking.

"Well, the reason why I wanted to invite Miss Isabel for a walk is to talk about you going to Main Arjing City." Shin Jiao said while calmly walking towards a park nearby.

In this place, there are many people walking roundabout and even children playing happily.

One could tell the great change that happened in the town ever since the arrival of Shin Jiao's group in this place.

For the space of almost a month, the peace and order in the city could be felt already as the city became free and did not fear the people working in the underground world anymore.

With the crackdown of the underworld led by the town's head Groom Xial, many of them were caught while others escaped and went out of the town. Many dare not come back especially when they learned what really happened to Link Garret one of the most influential people in the underworld.

And so the situation in the town became really peaceful lately. Hence the park right now has many people wandering around about and relaxing.

But right at this moment, this bustling scene could not be heard by Isabel and her group. The reason for this is because of the wonderful news that the man called Shin Jiao from the Mystique Shop has just said.

'They are invited by the prestigious and well-known Mystique Shop to go with them to Main Arjing City.'

Even though she heard it, she still could not believe such a word, so she stammered and then asked again.

"What… what do you mean?"

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile and then said once again that he is showing a formal expression.

"The Mystique Shop wanted Miss Isabel and her group to accompany us to Viscount's banquet party."

Boom!

His words immediately shocked everyone.
