Leona then left the class. She started heading towards the visiting hall. After getting closer, she made a call to Elder Aaron Perry.
Aaron Perry answered the call. When he heard she wanted to et him, he wasn't surprised and agreed. He suspected it was related to Charon Perry. More importantly, she is the daughter of the family head.
He couldn't deny her words, so he left his cabin right away. After ending the call, Leona sighed in relief. She knew that Aaron Perry didn't know that Uncle Rhys Perry had returned.
She hoped that nothing bad would happen.
Shortly afterwards,
Aaron Perry arrived at the place. After seeing her standing near the visitor hall, he was surprised.
"Miss, what happened?" he asked.
"Elder, there is sothing important to discuss. Co with ." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the entrance.
Aaron frowned. What could they discuss in the visitor hall? If she wanted to discuss sothing, then there was his office cabin.
With a confused look on his face, he followed her inside.
Leona walked into the visitor hall and saw a blonde-haired middle-aged man waiting. She was stunned on the spot. She only rembered the young face of her uncle from long ago, before he had left the family.
Rhys Perry stood with his arms crossed and looked at her. The image of the young blonde kid flashed in his mind. He rembered the young Leona as well, but he was not in the mood for happy talk.
He ca here to inquire about his son and the kid nad Vincent Carey.
Before he could speak, he saw one more person entering the hall. Rhys recognized him. Aaron Perry was two magic levels lower than him at that ti, but he didn't expect Aaron Perry to catch up to him in these long years.
Aaron Perry was terrified on the spot. His eyes flashed with fear. The person he most wanted to avoid had returned. His heart was racing.
The words were not coming out of his mouth. He stood like a statue.
Rhys Perry saw that Aaron Perry was showing the sa expression he had when he first saw him.
Suddenly, he removed the image of a level-9 wizard from his mind. Aaron Perry appeared to be the sa.
"Uncle, it's good to see you back," Leona said at that mont. She took her ti to co out of the initial shock.
"Lord, welco back to our ho," Aaron Perry managed to greet him.
Rhys's eyes turned serious.
He said, "I'm here to talk about my son's death and the kid nad Vincent Carey. I heard you two were with Charon before his mysterious disappearance."
Hearing that, Leona nodded her head.
Aaron Perry was trying to calm his heart. The worst thing had happened. There was no escape now. He didn't know whether Lord Rhys would believe his words or not.
Certainly, he wouldn't take action against Leona, but he didn't think he would be safe.
Leona said, "We were having a eting." Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
After saying that, she continued to explain how it was a normal eting. Then they both decided to stay in the Perry hotel without telling each other.
Later, she t Vincent Carey out of nowhere. It was then she had decided to inform Aaron Perry and requested his help to capture Vincent Carey then and there.
But Charon Perry ca late to the picture. He didn't et Vincent Carey in person. They had stood outside Vincent's hotel room, waiting for Aaron Perry's return.
When Aaron Perry arrived, he saw that the hotel room was empty. Vincent Carey had escaped. It was then Charon Perry proposed to stay in that room to see whether Vincent Carey would co back.
She had even co at midnight to check on Charon Perry. At that ti, Charon Perry was asleep. It was only half an hour later that they found out he was missing.
Only the next day did she learn that Charon was dead.
Aaron Perry had been listening silently and didn't find any falsehood in Leona's words. Her heartbeat was calm.
Rhys furrowed his eyebrows. He nodded to her before turning towards Aaron Perry.
"What about you?"
"Tell from the beginning," Rhys asked in a cold tone.
Aaron Perry was dumbfounded. She just told him what had happened. Then why was he asking him to repeat the sa thing? But he found a cold gaze on him, which further made him scared.
He then started to tell the story from his side. Leona saw how scared Aaron Perry was. She knew her Uncle Rhys had suffered serious injuries a long ti ago.
Because of that, he hadn't been able to beco a Supre Wizard. Now she thought that his strength had grown. She could see how scared Elder Aaron was.
As ti passed, Rhys's gaze never left him. He could observe his heartbeat.
A few minutes later,
When Aaron Perry finished saying everything, he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know whether Lord Rhys believed him or not.
He feared that his earlier assumption might beco true.
Leona was tense as well. She didn't know when was the last ti she had this feeling. Even before her father, she hadn't felt any pressure.
Rhys realized that both of their statents were true. His son Charon had mysteriously disappeared. Sothing had happened in that short ti gap.
Because the death of Charon occurred in that ti gap, like his father had said, soone had kidnapped his son and killed him shortly after that.
Anger rose in his heart, but he quickly controlled it. Then he looked at them and asked about Vincent Carey.
"Did you find out why that kid was there?"
"What was he doing in the Perry Family Hotel?" Rhys asked.
Leona replied, "He was there to explore the Virez City. The reason he chose the Perry Hotel, I'm not sure."
"Yes, lord. We tried to gather information, but there were no results," Aaron said.
Rhys's eyes flickered. There are wizards who have unique magic. They could even find the smallest clues. But he thought it was too late for that action.
His family had brought many wizards, and they had failed as well.
