Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-193

The district of Qintou is another affluent neighborhood where mostly the branch family members of several major clans live together in harmony.

It might not be as luxurious as the district of Qidong where the original Song mansion is located, but is nevertheless, a great place to live in.

Here, Song Yun used to have a guest house but now, it became his residence while the construction of his original mansion is taking place. It only took a few minutes for Mark to raze it to the ground but rebuilding will take months.

Until then, he had no choice but to live here as he doesn't want to buy a mansion in the Qidong district and humiliate himself.

Just like the past couple of weeks, the residence was heavily guarded by the upgraded security. There are about 30 guards with the weakest in the 4-circle realm. Three of them were even in the six-circle realm. Of those three, the new security head is at the peak stage.

However, none of this mattered to Alina as she easily infiltrated the residence with the help of Sun and Moon Brooch.

Because it is midnight and the moon is only showing 1/13th of its true size, all Alina needs to do is to avoid the fire lamps on the corridors and fire torches on the wall.

Still, there were two challenges to her. First is that she doesn't know where Song Yue is staying. And the second is that Song Yun is a 7-circle realm expert. He could sense her presence.

Now the only thing she's betting on is that he isn't awake.

Fortunately for her, luck is on her side. She went past the guards, climbed up to the balcony, and entered the house but no one has yet to get alert.

The house had about nine rooms in total, 5 on the first floor and four on the ground floor.

She first scanned the floor she was on and found out that there were only four spirit warriors who are sleeping inside the house. One of them is a 7-circle realm expert, another is a 5-circle realm expert, the third one is in the 1-circle realm, and the last one is a 2-circle realm expert.

There are a few ladies who are sleeping on the first floor but all of them are civilians, indicating that they are maids.

With the lone 7-circle realm expert on the ground floor, Alina felt that mission is going to be easy.

"Hmm, this one-circle must be his wife, considering they are on the same bed. And that 5-circle, sleeping alone on the ground floor, must be the steward or some servant." Alina assumed that her target is alone right at the moment.

Through Mark, she had learned that Song Yue is a 1-circle realm Spirit Warrior but on the first floor, she sensed a person in the 2-circle realm. If not for the novels that taught her the common knowledge regarding various relationships, she would have thought Song Yue was on the ground floor with her father.

Alina reached the door where she assumed Song Yue was sleeping. Naturally, it was locked from the inside.

At first, she thought of destroying the door but that will wake up others.

Even if she only depends on the Protos energy generated from her Protos Daggers and silently destroys the door, she will leave behind a piece of evidence.

As she doesn't know how to unlock the door and she can't knock on the door, she tried on the second method.

Alina closed her eyes and scanned the room once again. Within a second, she nodded with a smile, "it looks like there's an opening."

She walked back to the balcony and climbed onto the roof. Indeed, she was created to be an assassin.

She was swift at climbing onto the roof and reached the other side of the house and yet, not even a tap of sound was generated from the tiles that spread all over the roof.

The other side didn't have any balcony but the window appeared to be kept open. Did Song Yue forget about closing it or did she keep it open for air because it is too hot inside the room?

Normally, one would cut off that assumption because all the nobles and wealthy people install ceiling fans in their houses. Of course, because electricity has been invented roughly a decade ago and the electric fans were invented only five years ago, the bill can't be afforded by a common man.

However, Alina has a bit less common sense when compared to an average human if one excludes fighting skills. Whatever she learns, it is from novels, or through personal experience.

As a result, she assumed that it is because Song Yue wanted air. She didn't dwell on it too much and directly managed to jump from the edge of the roof into the room through the window.

She landed on the floor and felt the wind coming from above. Alina realized that she misunderstood but then again, what does it matter? Nope, it isn't something that needed any thinking.

She shifted her attention towards the bed and saw her sleeping. Through her vision, she saw her appearance.

Song Yue looked a lot thinner than when she saw her last time. However, Alina is a battle Android and she doesn't have any empathy for humans. The only thing that matters to her now is the completion of her mission.

She summoned one of the Protos Daggers and walked towards the bed. Upon reaching the target, she tightly pressed her palm against Song Yue's lips.

Song Yue woke up from her sleep because of the sudden attack.

"Umpf…" She tried to make a sound and moved but Alina put the dagger at her throat and spoke in a low tone, "Shhh, don't make a sound, or else, you will not be able to make sound permanently. I only have a few questions."

In an instant, Song Yue's eyes were filled with tears. She was extremely afraid as she doesn't even know who is beside her bed and what this person wanted. However, she tried her best to calm down because abductions aren't new to her. Since this person claimed that she is only for some information, she decided to cooperate.

And since the voice belonged to a female, Song Yue was more relieved that atleast, her body won't get violated and she will keep her chastity.

It was then, Alina said, "Shook your head sideways for no and nod for yes. Understood?"

Song Yue nodded.

Alina started asking the questions. "Was your marriage fixed with Ji Mingyu?"

Song Yue nodded.

Alina proceeded with the next question. "Are you against the marriage?"

*Nod* Song Yue gave a nod to that as well.

Alina continued.

"Do you wish to stop this marriage?"

*Nod*

"If the marriage can't be stopped and an opportunity arrives before you, will you be willing to run away from the home?"

The third question made Song Yue wonder about the intentions of this lady. Does the person, behind this lady, wants to humiliate her father or something? Maybe, this lady's boss is an enemy of the Ji Clan? Or maybe this lady would abduct her and made it seem like she ran away? But, why does that matter when she was going to be sacrificed for her father's ambitions?

As Song Yue was busy in her thoughts, Alina asked her, "I'm waiting for your answer."

In the end, Song Yue nodded.

Then, Alina finally freed her mouth and said, "I apologize for my actions as I have to fulfill my mission. My name is Alina Spencer and I'm on the orders from my master. You know him by the name, Lu Zhen. If you wish to escape, I will take you to our home, right away, without making any fuss."
