Delayed by the traffic jam, it took us half a day to reach the place where Louis was staying.

“No matter how I look at it, Why a person, with such a high talent, is staying in this rural area?”

-Claire looked around with her amused eyes.

“Hmmmph, I feel tired after driving so long.”

To show her fatigue, she stretched out her arms and yawned, not paying any attention to her image of an elegant lady.

Following her gaze, I too looked around,

‘So this Louis is staying in this village in front of us?”

“No, he is living at a house on the hill that you see in the background.”

“I see.”

“Okay, you stay here and wait for me, if I need anything I will call you directly.”

“Also, you can ask some people around, people in the village must have interacted with Louis, who knows if we can get hold of some important information.”

Without waiting for her reply I left.

Instead of entering the village, I walked around its edge to bypass it as I started climbing the hill.

“What a badie! Making me do all the hard work.”

“But why do I not feel any anger or resentment? I have never been treated so roughly before…”

-Claire stomped her feet in anger as she muttered to herself.

As a pampered daughter of a rich family, ironically she didn’t feel the slightest of disgust. She seemed to be liking the feeling of Elandor making her do all his chores, and wondered if instead of a slave she was Elandor’s secretary?

While climbing the hill I messaged Radhika that I will be late and may come tomorrow lest she again stays up late to wait for me.

…….

“I can’t believe the protagonist is living here!”

-I made my way up, there were lots of thorns and bushes along the climb.

Soon a plane surface appeared in my field of vision.

There was a beautiful small lake and on the side of it was a hut. And, behind the hut, there was a cave.

The atmosphere and landscape were serene, the reflection of mountains and clouds in the lake water along with the chirping of birds…not to mention the exotic mountain flowers with clean air away from the hustle-bustle of a city. It was your ideal place to spend a vacation after retirement.

“Wow, this further deepens my suspicions. In all those cultivation novels I read, it was one of the top 10 routines- The main character lives alone and practises hard in mountains and forests. Then, when he is capable enough, he descends and all those who stand in his way meet their doom.”

“With enough stepping stones, he quickly rises in fame while plundering beauties on his journey.”

I heard some loud voices coming from the cave and decided to head towards it.

After reaching the entrance of the cave I saw a boy of my age and a gorgeous girl talking merrily.

It was time for my disguise and sneaky skills to shine once again.

With the fifth order of strength, my control over space along with other elements has increased to an astronomical level~

After snapping my finger in the empty air, I cut open an unstable pocket in the space and jumped in it.

“Who-Who? is there?”

Just as Elandor hid in the space pocket he created, the boy turned around and looked at the place where Elandor had disappeared.

To make sure he was not hallucinating the boy walked to the entrance.

“Strange?”

“No one?”

Seeing the boy’s sudden alarmed movements, the girl next to him also panicked and followed him outside to the entrance.

“What happened?”

The girl asked in a timid voice.

“I just felt someone was eavesdropping on us, maybe it was just my overthinking.”

“Oh Louis you are always so careful, how can someone come here? Moreover, with your strength, if someone dared to come, he would be instantly discovered by you. You are the strongest person I have ever seen, no one can match you”, the girl spoke with stars in her eyes.

‘Fuck, is this really someone who is almost at peak of third order? His perception of his surroundings is so good! Thankfully, after studying the assassin technique of Claire’s family, my hiding abilities have improved to a whole new level otherwise I would have been definitely discovered by this Louis.’

-Elandor tried to be as still as he could to avoid any suspicion.

“Yeah there’s no one”, Louis gave a sigh of relief after making sure there was no one.

For some reason he kept looking at the blank space where Elandor was hiding in the void, he thought there was someone but because of his lesser strength, he failed to see Elandor. In the end, instead of his intuition, he chose to believe his eyes.

“According to my master, I will have to enrol in Martial University to get some theoretical knowledge. He said my fiancé Radhika is also in that city and it will be a good thing for me to warm-up with her in advance.”

Hearing Louis speak about his fiancé, the bright smile on the gorgeous girl’s face dimmed.

After a moment of silence, she looked up.

“I also want to go with you.”

“I-I will stay in the girl’s dormitory so as not to cause you any trouble.”

“Beatrix!” -there was a helpless expression on Louis’s face. He knew how clingy of a girl Beatrix was.

“I -I just want to follow you. I promise I won’t make trouble with your fiancé Radhika”, she pleaded once again.

‘Just let me accompany you and I will prove to you that I deserve to be your main wife! What so-called fiancé? What marriage contract? I will make sure to teach that girl, Radhika a lesson so that she obediently stays always from my Louis.’

Louis shook his head.

Seeing such a cute girl pleading so earnestly melted his heart.

“Fine, okay leave now!”

Like spring which comes after autumn, the smile on the girl’s face that bloomed was so brilliant that not only Louis, even Elandor who was hiding in the unstable space pocket he created in the void was awe-struck at the moment looking at that giggling girl.

‘Sure enough, this Louis has a disaster-level beauty obsessed over him.’

I just watched without making any sound.

The girl’s alluring voice caressed my ears. It was a sticky and bewitching feeling as if being caressed with the tongue.

‘Is this girl a siren?’

I tried to see Beatrix’s details with my special eyes which could even see luck over a person’s head but I failed to notice anything special about the girl’s physique.

‘This voice, these long hairs of perfect length falling up to waist…perfect hip-waist ratio with her own charm and unique coquettishness, she can without a doubt score 11/10 on any aesthetic scale.’

‘Clearly, another obsessive naive girl tricked by the protagonist’, as I was thinking in my head I heard Louis’s voice.

“Oh my dear Beatrix, there are some things that you can’t see, hehe~ now that there is no one, let’s begin!”
