Chapter 113: Purple Magic Pendant
Darkwood Villa.
Xavier appeared in the detention room in the basement of his villa. The room was dimly lit, with only one light source from a yellow bulb placed on the ceiling right in the middle of the room.
At the far end of the room, a middle-aged man and woman were kneeling on the floor, their hands tied behind their backs. They were shocked when they saw a man suddenly appear in the middle of the room. Their bodies trembled at the sight.
Xavier ignored the two people on the floor. He looked sideways at Niles and Justin, standing with two other identical men with pale faces and shoulder-length black hair. These two men were Darkwood Guards who only appeared when needed; like ghosts, they could come and go without anyone noticing.
"Have you guys found anything?" Xavier asked in a low, barely audible voice, but it was enough for Justin and Niles to hear.
"Milord, we already checked their background, but you won’t believe what we found," Niles said as he walked closer to Xavier. He whispered, "They are just humans, a couple who went hiking on the lonely mountain but got lost and entered your property."
"Humans!?" Xavier was surprised to hear that. He slowly turned to look at the couple about 15 meters before him. His eyebrow arched slightly upon realizing that these two people were mere humans.
It was hard for Xavier to believe these people could enter his land because it had a magic barrier. No human could trespass on his land; even non-human creatures couldn’t enter without powerful magic.
"Yes. We have checked their identities multiple times, and their story appears true. They both told the same tale and are indeed local tourists..." Niles continued to explain.
