Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-813

Just as Emery and Silva were about to leave the gene facility, a familiar figure came barging into the building. It was a young man with black hair wearing luxurious royal clothes.

"Emery! I heard you've returned!" The young man loudly said, as he bursted through the door. Upon seeing Emery, who dumbfoundedly looked at him, the young man laughed boisterously. "There you are! I knew I would find you here!"

Naturally, the figure was none other than Emery's self-proclaimed best buddy, Silva's blood brother, and Ouroboros prince: Vizla.

The young master of the Ouroboros family quickly approached Emery and grabbed him by the shoulders. He then turned his head to his sister, "Silva, you already took him for so many days. So today, it's only fair for him to go with me!"

The first thought that came into Silva's mind when she heard her brother's words was a straightforward refusal. To be honest Vizla also expected some resistance from his sister, as he knew how she behaved around Emery.

However, it was as if she was remembering something, the girl nodded her head, which meant she decided to let Emery go.

"Just… just don't do any weird stuff!"

"Alright!" Vizla clenched his fist in excitement, as he pulled Emery's body over to him. "I got you, sis!"

Emery didn't even have a chance to voice his opinion, as the next thing he knew he was being dragged by Vizla out of the gene facility and into the flying vehicle.

In the vehicle, Vizla looked at Emery and smiled enthusiastically. "So, where should we go?"

"If you don't mind, I'd rather go back to training."

Vizla snorted. "Huh! You are seriously no fun man! Live your life a little, please!"

Looking at Emery's facial expression, Vizla eventually decided to take a compromise. "Alright, alright, if you really want to. Just accompany me for a few drinks and I'll take you back, okay?"

Being on a foreign planet, taken by its prince, there was not much he could do. So, he agreed.

While operating the flying vehicle, Vizla asked. "So, how was the trip? Did you two have fun?"

Emery took a moment to answer. "Well... Sort of, I guess…"

A cheeky smile suddenly appeared on Vizla's face when he heard the answer. "So… a whole week in space. Hmm… Did you two manage to… you know…"

The words seemed to be deliberately left unspoken and made Emery turn to Vizla with confusion "Know what..?"

Vizla showed an expression of disbelief. "Are you serious?! You really don't know or just pretending? I am asking about sex! Did you get to fuck my sister or not?"

Emery was shocked when he heard the words coming out of Vizla's mouth. In reflex, he was about to deny the accusation, but suddenly the event on the island came back to him and made him stop his tongue.

Looking at Emery's reaction, Vizla's expression became mischievous again and this time even more so. "Hehehe, I knew it! I just knew it! You dog!"

As much as Emery disliked the man's rather crude choice of words, he knew Vizla did not actually have any bad intention. In fact, it was precisely thanks to his straightforward and unfettered nature that Emery easily became comfortable with him and also the reason he even agreed to go drink with him.

…

"We are here!"

The vehicle that Emery and Vizla were riding in stopped and descended to the ground. The latter then stepped out first and quickly led the former to their destination, the restaurant they had previously visited with Silva.

Worry welled up in Emery, as he recalled his experience in this place, but fortunately, as Vizla had told him earlier, they were only here to drink. There weren't any half-naked women accompanying them this time. Knowing Vizla would not let him go that easily, Emery also took advantage of this opportunity to get used to drinking.

While they were chatting and snacking on the food that was given to accompany their drinks, Vizla suddenly said something that surprised him.

"It's too bad that Heorgar is not here anymore." He took a sip of the drink and placed his glass on the table before letting out a deep sigh. "That man was really a good drinking buddy."

Hearing this Emery quickly asked.

"Senior Heorgar isn't here? What do you mean? He's still in prison, isn't he?"

Vizla seemed to flinch for a moment when he heard the questions Emery threw rapidly. Fortunately, he quickly recovered and said, "Yes, of course. I mean, it's a pity that he's not here to drink with us. Hahaha, of course he's still in prison. What are you talking about, Emery?"

From then on, Vizla seemed to have lost the urge to drink. In fact, he didn't seem able to enjoy his drink anymore. In the end, after a couple more sips, the man decided to call it a day, return to the vehicle and take Emery back to his residence.

Because of Vizla's weird behavior, Emery realized there was something amiss. However, nothing really changed because he had no way of knowing what was wrong.

Within the balcony of the residence, Emery heaved a long sigh of concern, wishing his hunch was just that - a hunch.

As he stared out in thought, Emery heard someone knocking on the door. Opening it, he saw Geanette standing with a tray in her hand. She came bringing him some cut fruits to enjoy.

A smile could be seen on her face; the girl seemed happy to see him.

"You have returned, Master. How was your trip?" She said cheerfully.

"It was alright, Geanette." Emery replied calmly, but it was clear from his expression he wasn't in the right mood for a conversation.

"What is it, Master? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Emery was about to dismiss her and close the door when he suddenly thought of something. Therefore, he halted his movement and looked at the girl.

"Geannete, do you happen to know about the place where the prisoners are kept?"

Seeing the girl's confused expression, Emery quickly explained the situation. The girl was reluctant at first, but then relented and told him that she would ask around later. "I know someone who works there, Master. I'll see what I can do."

"That's great. Thank you, Geanette."

"Anything for you, Master." The young girl smiled. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, Geanette. That's all. Thank you."

Emery closed the door after Geanette's back disappeared from his sight. The girl had been attentive and helpful to him since he was here. With that in mind, Emery decided he would reward her with something later.

As there was nothing else he could do at the moment, he returned to his lotus position and once again jumped into his training. As his [Nature Grasp] was cast and his mind gradually delved, Emery couldn't help but wonder if one of these times he would finally make a breakthrough.

…

Just as the first light of the day beamed on the horizon, a loud knocking sound could already be heard from Emery's bedroom door. Moments later, a white-haired girl came barging in and saw Emery sitting in lotus position with his eyes closed.

"My mother is here. Let's go see her!"

Emery calmly opened his eyes before standing up. "Yes. Good morning to you too, Silva."

He quickly prepared himself to go see the queen. As soon as he walked out of the room with Silva, Emery noticed Geanette was standing in the hallway staring at him. When he was about to approach her, she actually turned around and left.

However, when he reached the garden outside, just as Silva went to fetch the flying vehicle, Geanette approached him. She positioned her body closer and whispered.

"Master. All the Wolf Bloodlines are no longer being held captive. The same goes for the human mages. Apparently, they have been gone for more than two weeks"

Two weeks was basically days before he left with Silva for Alfa Station. If that's the case, then why didn't Silva tell him about this?
