From MC's Perspective:
The following day,
After getting ready, I left the dorm building and started heading toward the Special Mage Departnt. While walking, I kept an eye on my surroundings.
Yesterday, I didn't leave my room and stayed there. I thought Leona Perry would find and ask about his cousin.
But nothing like that happened. No one ca to bother . I think the Perry Family has hidden the truth. But they can't keep it hidden for long. Sooner or later, the news will be released.
To my surprise, I noticed no one stalking . The path was clear. Those who were quite a distance away from were going about their business.
After a long ti, I felt this relief and calmness. There was no more sword hanging over my head.
Shortly afterward,
I reached the Special Mage Departnt and went to class.
anwhile,
The Bloodline Beast Departnt was not peaceful. Leona Perry finally confronted Aaron Perry. Most of the level-9 Wizards spent the entire day outside the family to find the killer.
Aaron Perry used the chaos to escape as well. But in reality, he was hiding from Leona Perry.
"Elder, did you find anything?" Leona asked.
Right now, they were inside his cabin.
"I inquired with the guards at the Teleportation Platform. They saw Vincent Carey returning early in the morning yesterday," Aaron said in a grave tone.
"The timing of Charon's death and Vincent Carey's return to the campus matches. But how did he do it?" Leona asked in disbelief.
"I don't think he was the one who killed Charon. I suspect soone helped him. He might have taken care of Charon's body while Vincent Carey had ti to return," Aaron replied.
"But this is all just our speculation. There is no evidence connecting him to the murder. What if other forces are at play in this?" Leona asked.
She had spent most of the day yesterday searching for Charon Perry's whereabouts. But her efforts ended in futility. There were no clues whatsoever.
The family had even sought help from Unique Wizards who specialized in Tracking and Search. Yet they failed as well.
"There is a possibility. But we can't say anything without evidence," Aaron sighed.
Leona then thought of sothing before asking, "I heard Vincent Carey didn't go to the Special Mage Departnt yesterday. He spent the whole day in his dorm room."
"Don't you find that suspicious?" she added.
"Yes, but we know what his answer will be," Aaron replied.
Leona's eyes flashed with anger. If not for Vincent Carey's identity, she would have already captured him. There are many ways to get answers from the Wizard.
But it's a pity that Vincent Carey is protected by the Special Mage Departnt.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Inform Father if you find anything." After saying that, Leona left his cabin.
Aaron Perry wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so close to death. Fortunately, the current Family Head and his daughter were understanding.
They don't attack family mbers right away. But he feared two more people. They had more reason to vent their anger on him.
They were none other than Charon Perry's father and elder brother. Currently, those two are out of the country. So he could breathe in relief.
If they ever returned, they would definitely inquire about him. Aaron Perry hoped that the family would find the culprit before their return.
Knock!
At this ti, soone knocked on his door.
"Co in!" Aaron Perry said.
The next second, a middle-aged man walked in. The person was none other than his friend.
Council Elder Milo from the Beast Taming Departnt.
Aaron squinted his eyes. Milo was making an entrance all of a sudden. He suspected the person wanted to get information from him.
Milo smiled and sat in the seat. He then looked at Aaron's tense face. His heart skipped a beat for a second. He didn't recall seeing this person ever tense.
Rather, he was the one who got tense over small matters.

"Aaron, why does your face look pale?"
"Are you alright?" Milo asked.
"I'm good. What brings you here?" Aaron asked with a dissatisfied tone. He was already tense. Now he had to deal with this annoying person as well.
"Well, I heard there is a big movent in the Perry Family. Are you guys going to take any action?" Milo asked.
He thought that the Aristocratic Faction was going to take action against the Head of the Organization. So he ca here fantasizing about it.
Aaron realized what this was all about. Right now, their whole family was looking for the killer. They wouldn't pay attention to the Aristocratic Faction unless the current matter was resolved.
But he couldn't tell this to Milo.
So he said, "Well, yeah. But I can't give you the details."
Elder Milo's eyes shone.
"Good, thanks for clearing my doubts. I'll be going." After saying that, he left the place.
"This moron," Aaron Perry knew what he was going to do.
There were a lot of people connected to Milo who wanted to get closer to him. The people who wanted the information were them. Milo was just acting like a ssenger.
...
Perry Family:
In the eting hall, the current family head, the forr family head, and so important elders were seated.
"Did you inform Rhys?" the forr family head, Callen, asked.
Currently, he was seated in the main seat, while Cooper was seated below him. All the other elders were seated below them.
Cooper heard his father's question.
He hesitated before saying, "I didn't inform him. I thought it was necessary to find the killer before telling him."
Callen's eyes flickered.
"You did good. If he knows, he might co back in a hurry. No one can tell what he will do then," Callen replied.
Cooper already updated with him on details, especially what his daughter told him. If there was any new update, he would share it as well.
Callen then asked, "So apart from that Special Mage Departnt kid, there is no other clue?"
The current Family Head Cooper's eyes flickered.
"Yes, father. That's the case for now," he replied.
