Chapter 507: Suspicious Shi Zhen Returns
" But you are actually a fifth circle mage, aren't you?" Jun Tianyun looked at her. " Not bad, you have talent in magic."
" I have been stuck in the fifth stage for two years already." Maria sighed. " I wonder when I am going to break through to the next stage?"
" Don't worry, Sister Maria. You will soon become a sixth circle mage."
" I hope so." Maria sighed. " But you know, It's hard to increase one's rank if one isn't affiliated with any mage towers or magician households."
" Oh, There are such things?" Jun Tianyun expressed his interest.
" Of course, there are four mage towers across the world. The Elysian Academy is also known as the Elysian Tower, a place where Earth and Water attributed mages gathered."
" However, accessing the magic spells and mana breathing art is much harder than one can imagine. Some of them are so precious that not even money can buy them,"
" The mana breathing art I practiced, It was only up to the fourth magic circle. Only due to my own luck and Young Lady's help, I managed to break through to the fifth stage."
' Hmm, I am really interested in the magic system. I should check them when I have time.'
Jun Tianyun was a bit worried when he returned to the villa. ' Let's hope Elder Sister Ronghua…Heavenly Fragrance Witch isn't standing behind that door.'
" Xiao Jun, You are back!"
Sighing the relief, Jun Tianyun walked inside, looking at the cheerful Jun Ronghua.
" Hope you weren't too bored, Elder Sister."
" I was, Duh!" Jun Ronghua rolled her eyes. " I was going to you if you had come any late."
" Now, Tell me if anything happened in the auction."
Jun Tianyun sat beside Jun Ronghua as he recounted his experience.
" Whaaat? How is that possible?"
Jun Ronghua couldn't help but grumble when she heard about what happened at Sunshine Auction.
" Why do interesting things happen when I am not there?" Jun Ronghua pouted. " Damn it, I should have been with you, Xiao Jun. Then we could have crushed those little robbers together."
" Whoa whoa, Calm down there, Elder Sister. It's just some mild skirmish." Jun Tianyun raised his brows. " I am sure the police would have handled it."
" Young Lady, There is a news from the Seawind." Maria looked at Jun Ronghua.
" Someone killed Mr. Jones, The head of H.R department."
" Killed, you say?" Jun Ronghua's eyes narrowed. " Interesting…"
" He is the main suspect, who used a magic treasure and drove Mr. Collin to suicide."
" What suspect? He is the culprit." Jun Tianyun rolled his eyes.
" Hmm, Maria told me about that. But how did you investigate everything so deeply?" Jun Ronghua looked at Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun shrugged. " Well, You can say I have some abilities. I doubt there are many things which could remain hidden from me in this world."
" So? Who killed him?" Jun Ronghua looked at Maria.
" I do receive footage. But it's a bit of blurry."
Saying that, Maria pulled out a tablet and showed the footage. " It happened exactly at the place Mr. Collin jumped from the building."
In the building, Mr. Jones suddenly appeared in the room. He looked very anxious, constantly looking around here and there.
However, Something strange happened at that time. The shadow behind the chair moved as it materialized into a figure.
Mr. Jones was scared as his face contorted with anger and desperation. He pulled out his ring from his finger, trying to shine it on the figure.
However, the figure moved, flicking that ring from his hands. The shadow materialized into a beautiful figure in a latex suit, Her face was hidden behind a mask, but Jun Tianyun knew who it was.
There was no audio, but Jun Tianyun could understand the lip sync.
" I…It wasn't me! I didn't do anything"
" No! Don't do this!"
Suddenly, the lady vanished and turned into a rippling shadow on the floor. Mr. Jones was yanked and thrown outside of the window.
" Interesting. Is she a mutant?" Jun Ronghua rubbed her chin as she looked at the footage. " I hate these shadow type mutants. They are really pesky to deal with."
' She might be your destined enemy, Elder Sister.' Jun Tianyun pursed his lips as he thought inwardly.
" So, What are we going to do?" She looked at Maria and Jun Tianyun.
" You are not sending men to find her directly? Hunt her down or something?"
Jun Ronghua gave an expression to Jun Tianyun when she heard him. " I mean…That's what I thought a moment ago. But I remebered you got pretty mad when Collin commited suicide so…"
" That's my Elder Sister, You better ask me if you wanted to do something unusual." Jun Tianyun sighed in relief.
" Anyway, This is on me. I will find her."
" Really? You aren't going after all just because she is a pretty lady, right?" Jun Ronghua's eyes narrowed. Jun Tianyun felt a shiver, but he held his place.
" I mean…Nothing wrong in it, is there?" Jun Tianyun crossed his arms. " Jonathan Veneto has to keep his playboy persona, right?"
" Hmm, I really wonder if I should let that old hag take over me." Jun Rongua looked at her nails. " i believe she can easily deal with you."
" No. I said No."
Jun Ronghua bared her teeth to Jun Tianyun as mockery when Jun Tianyun took a step back.
" Anyway, I am feeling tired. Maria, prepare something light for me before I go to sleep."
" Yes, Young Miss." Maria nodded as she turned to kitchen.
While Jun Tianyun was inside his room, he suddenly paused his step,
" Huh?"
Looking outside, he saw a box falling from the sky on his terrace. As he walked outside, he saw a drone flying away.
Opening the box, Jun Tianyun saw a familiar item. " What are you doing here, huh?"
" What is it?"
Su Qingyao came from behind and looked at the contents of the box. " That silver bracelet…"
Jun Tianyun nodded as he put it on. Suddenly, small arcs of lights lit up around the silver bracelet.
" Greetings, Young Master. I thought you forgot about me."
" Shi Zhen? You reached me?" Jun Tianyun was surprised when he talked with his familiar A.I.
" Of course, how can I abandon you?" Shi Zhen replied in her monotonous voice. But somehow, Jun Tianyun could see her rolling eyes.
" What about this, Sister Qingyao? Uhh, Can Shi Zhen be affected by my misfortune?" Jun Tianyun looked at Su Qingyao.
" I… I don't know. I never thought about it?" Su Qingyao shrugged.
" No, I am not."
" Huh?"
Jun Tianyun was surprised when Shi Zhen replied. " Do you know what we are talking about?"
"... Of course not." Shi Zhen replied. " What I replied was within logic. How can an inanimate object be affected by something like misfortune?"
" Well, You got a point there." Jun Tianyun's expression turned odd. He was pretty sure Shi Zhen was hiding something.
" Anyway, I wonder how much your influence has grown?" Jun Tianyun became curious.
" Enough to take over anything on the network, I believe." Shi Zhen replied.
" Can you launch nukes?" Jun Tianyun asked eagerly.
" … You want me to?"
" Well?"
Jun Tianyun shrugged. " I mean, I would be doing a very divine work if I disarmed all countries powerful weapons, yes?"
" But you are no saint, Young Master."
" Cheeky girl." Jun Tianyun rolled his eyes. " Anyway, Since you are here, better start spying on people. Keep eyes on Barry Burton and Gary."
" I understood, Young Master." Shi Zhen replied. " There is has been a new branch of Fortune Charity Group has been opened in the Federal States. Would you like to check on it?"
Jun Tianyun's expression turned odd.
' Isn't that the cult being managed by Evangeline? Now you said, I haven't checked the amount of faith collected till now…'
