CH 19.4

Real Follow-up (4)

Whether Bobby was burned to death by a four-star mage, or was burned to death by Anna herself meant the same for their family. They couldn’t stay in Pomegranate Lane anymore, otherwise that vicious little bitch Anna might burn their family to death, too! Renee woke up her husband who was sleeping in bed. She didn’t say much, as her husband had always been accustomed to listening to her. Without another word, he started to pack things up, planning to move to his sister Anna's house overnight and live there temporarily.

Even so, Renee and Lily were still anxious, for fear that Anna or the four-star mage would chase them.

Anna returned to her home the next night, only to find out that Lily's family had moved out of Pomegranate Lane overnight. There were people who were good acquaintances with Lily's family who wanted to ask where they moved to, but Lily's family didn't say a word.

Anna thought, she really scared off Lily. As for Lily's mother Renee...she would move away regardless of whether or not Renee believed her.

The alcohol content of light beer was too low. What is the difference between his beer being exposed to an open flame and dousing the flame with water? It was just that the people in Pomegranate Lane didn’t want to get to the bottom of it. People like Bobby, when they died they died. Who was willing to be nosy? As a result, everyone vaguely felt that something was strange, but no one asked, and the matter passed.

If Renee believed Anna and thought Bobby was killed by a mage, of course she would flee quickly. If she didn't believe it, she should know that Bobby's death had nothing to do with Anna. If she was so vicious as to burn Bobby alive, then wasn’t her and her whole family dangerous?

Therefore, Anna thought it was normal for Lily's family to move away out of fright. At present, as long as Lily's family was no longer by her side to cause her troubles, it was fine. Fighting a battle of wits and a contest of strength with the demon could not have the interference of a third party. In the future, if she developed further or had strength, she didn’t mind adding more roadblocks in their way if she met them again.

Anna didn’t think about Lily anymore. In the past few days, she had kept a routine. In addition to delivering breakfast to Parrish around noon, she would also deliver breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner to the demon who occupied the body of Master Ulysses.

The demon was clearly always there when she delivered breakfast to Parrish, but he didn't eat with Parrish. He waited for Parrish to finish eating, and then she would specially send a meal over to him again after she returned to the kitchen.

And as for Anna, as a kitchen maid, except for secretly calling him crazy, she could only honestly send him food.

After that, the demon did not mention Bobby again, and didn’t take any extra actions, but she for some reason felt that he was secretly poking and planning something bad.

Because she had to bring dinner to the demon, the time that Anna got off work was delayed a lot, and everyday when she got home, it was already dark outside. However, because Bobby was dead and Lily had moved away, Pomegranate Lane was much safer for Anna.

She walked home under the moonlight that night, and the road was quiet. Because there were not many entertainment activities in this era, people were unwilling to waste oil lamps and candles. At night, they mostly slept or did activities that did not require light. Of course, places like pubs were always lively.

After Bobby's death, Evan also returned to work in the tavern. The wounded person who previously demanded Evan to lose money did not dare to make too much fuss after Bobby's death. In the end, he had only asked for three silver coins in compensation, which the Anna family could afford.

Anna had just walked onto Pomegranate Lane, when suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind her head, covered her mouth, and pulled her into the ruined house after Bobby's death.

Before Anna could react, the man behind her spoke up. It was a nice soundingmale voice, but it sounded very weak: "I am not a bad person, but I need your help with something. I will give you money. If you understand me and won’t tell, then please nod your head and I will let go of you."

Anna drove out the various societal news that had filled her mind just now, and nodded quickly.

The man really did let go of her slowly.

Anna didn't immediately turn around and run away. From the content of the man's words, he was not a vulgar person, and he didn't have an intent to harm her.

When she turned around and saw the person's appearance, she couldn't help covering her mouth.

He looked like a young man with a bright face. Short brown hair covered one of his eyes, and there was kindness in his eyes, which were of the same color as his hair. Only, on his entire face and palms and other exposed skin, flowing dark lines could be seen.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" The man smiled. The raised corners of his mouth also caused the dark lines on his face to ripple, making them look even more scary. "Please don't worry, I am also a human being. I only look like this because I have been injured. I will not harm you."

If it was said that Anna wanted to run away before seeing this man, then after seeing his appearance, she felt like she had to stay.

These dark lines on this man's body were probably caused by natural elements in his body, that is to say, he was a mage!

Anna wanted very badly to become a mage, but the only mage she had come in contact with was possessed by a demon, and that demon refused to even teach her to read. This is the opportunity she had dreamt of!
