Chapter 56: Aunt Mia
Alex moved his eyes to the other party. It was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties with beautiful long brown hair that dropped over her shoulders and a well-curved face, her skin was smooth, and there were no signs of ageing on her face.
She didn’t look like someone who should be childhood friends with his mother.
’Well, mages age slower than usual, and mana can help maintain the skin, so it’s understandable for her to look younger.’ Alex thought to himself.
This woman had an eye patch covering one of her eyes, but that wasn’t able to hide how beautiful she looked; she was in a white top and black pants. Her long legs were crossed while her two mountain peaks bulged her top.
After a moment of observing this visitor, Alex realised that she was an Expert mage just like him.
’Not bad, she can be considered a top expert in Balon City.’ Alex thought to himself, though he was stunned to find out that his mother knew such a person.
She was more connected than he thought.
As for why they didn’t choose to ask for help from this person, Alex guessed that his parents didn’t want to put their problems on others; everyone had their pride and bottom lines.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Alex faced the woman and bowed slightly, his tone was very respectful and made his mother smile in satisfaction.
The woman with an eye patch was also smiling slightly. While Alex was observing her, she was also checking out Alex.
’ He’s well-mannered, it’s just sad that his talent as a mage isn’t too good,’ she sighed inwardly.
