Chapter 286: Possible culprit
This shadow lunged at an astonishing speed towards Alice, which even Alice had to respect.
But suddenly, a shadow crossed the vision of both of them, and the body of the guy behind Alice lurched forward as he lost his head.
Soon, the body fell to the ground, rolling.
'Matt?' Alice felt a glimmer of clarity after watching a figure cross her vision. Therefore, she looked forward quickly.
There stood a beautiful man in her eyes, holding the other Webb brother by the neck while a head was in his other hand, still bleeding.
"You are an idiot. I warned you once, but now your death is clearly your fault. Though I guess there was no saving you from the moment you laid your eyes on Alice." Matt said, smiling, and before that guy could speak, his head left his body with a flick of Matt's hand.
Matt reached up to grab the head with a terrifying expression and turned around to throw it backward at high speed.
The head flew across Alice's sight to the other side of the dark passage, where a scream rang out, and a person fell to the ground from a nearby window.
It was Mason Webb.
Still, Matt didn't make a big deal out of it. He felt his ability activate once, for having killed that guy hiding behind Alice, and smiled.
Then he walked over to where Alice was and lifted her up to him.
Right now, her appearance was her natural appearance, for her disguise had fallen off when she started fighting. That beautiful face with that pair of fangs that had grown noticeably was suddenly kissed by Matt.
That made Alice's body feel soft and extremely good, and she regained her senses. Her claws then disappeared, and her fangs returned to their usual size, not as big as they were a moment ago.
Matt then smiled at her. "You looked beautiful a moment ago. This is the first time I've seen your eyes shine so bright and your countenance so colorful," he said, and she nodded a little.
She didn't want to talk right now because it felt too good in Matt's arms, so she leaned back against him.
So, minutes passed until her heart finally calmed down.
"This person I saw a while ago. He's one of the members of the Alignment that was with those leaders. Could it be that the leaders are behind this?" Matt looked at everyone's face and stuffed the bodies into a storage ring.
Alice shrugged her shoulders. "Well, sooner or later, it will come out. But with this guy hanging around here, I think we already have one of the guys responsible." She said as she dragged Mason Webb's body away.
Matt nodded. 'I had to have left the guy they called Sir alive,' he thought but eventually stopped thinking about it.
They both acted as if they were returning to the room and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the city.
Once in the city, they ran into the slums and started a terrifying round of questioning of Mason Webb.
Alice was amazed that Matt knew so many ways to torment someone. 'It can be scary sometimes, although he still looks so beautiful.' She thought, watching Matt from the side.
About 15 minutes later, the pulp that used to be Mason Webb was discarded and burned to remove evidence.
Matt smiled as he finished the questioning.
"Let's go back, Alice." He said, and after the body had turned to dust before the fire, they both returned to the room.
'Webb family, huh? Looks like I'll have to make good use of my few connections to find out more about them.' Matt thought.
He had found several things out this time, so he needed to get more information about them from those who were trying to investigate him. Although he doesn't know exactly why this family is trying to investigate him, that is the main reason why he should investigate them.
Matt immediately thought of Janna Patel.
'Being a high-end information seller, she must have precious information on different things. These Webb people might have something to do with Low Deal, so it's important to find out as soon as possible. I must visit her shortly.' He thought.
After returning to the room, Matt and Alice continued to try to train and strengthen their bodies.
The training they did a few days ago is used for just that. But because it causes great injuries, it can only be done once every 15 days.
Therefore, they could not do it so often and had to be patient and do another type of training.
The one they did during these days was training based on martial arts, fighting each other with their vampiric powers sealed.
It wasn't very effective, but it was better than doing nothing.
And so they spent a couple of days in intensive training of that style.
During those days, Matt looked at the vampires he had created in the Capital City to see how they were doing and gave them more information on other subjects. Read more stories on m-vl_em|p,yr
They were doing well, somehow. Although things at the castle weren't going so well, at least that's what Matt could see when he tried to see through Caroline. She was a bit closed off and not in the limelight much lately, which meant Vanessa doubted her.
'It would be unfortunate if this girl died without being able to see what one of those Sorcerer Domains is capable of. But there's not much to be done.' Matt thought.
Vanessa's strength was astounding. Perhaps if he could get to her from behind without her noticing, he could win, turning her into a vampire and depriving her of her physical abilities using his Icy Curse. Still, in a head-on battle, he couldn't win. That woman looked so strong; even Emma Lewis looked like a little girl before her.
After putting some things in order on the side of the female vampires in the city, Matt decided it was a good idea to create a branch of that vampire organization here. But first, he needed to know a little more about the Academy and the spirits.
After several days off, Matt and Alice returned to class after being granted several days off for their test achievements.
It was time for the Summoning Class for Alice, as Matt had to go meet the Great Summoner again to learn about magical artifacts.
