Chapter 188: Cerci
[Mira’s Apartment]
Jason materialized from the shadows a few meters away from his mother’s apartment with Riyala beside him. He was now wearing a long black cloak that wrapped around his body. It had a long collar that came up to cover his lower face and he had given Riyala another cloak that had a hood attached. The cloak Jason was wearing was the A Rank [Elemental Shield] that Jason had gotten after he completed the Spidermonkey’s Red Gate. It helped to protect against elemental attacks but it would also help him in reducing his presence.
Meanwhile, Riyala’s cloak was the [Veil of the Hollow Star], and it was an S-rank artefact that Jason had gotten from the Phantoms. It helped to negate all forms of elemental attacks and also increased stealth and agility by a hundred percent, so Jason was sure no one would pick up Riyala’s inhuman features while they travelled.
Jason had avoided most of the more populated areas while coming here. He knew there would be a mad crowd at his former house because of the stuff he had pulled with Ragnar and the fire that he caused. The media channels would be having a field day trying to figure out what Jason’s abilities were, and the internet would be filled with conspiracies about how he created the dragon. Even the Enforcers would come looking for him soon enough.
But Jason didn’t care about any of that. Jason would deal with them whenever they came for him. Instead, Jason wanted to first make sure that his mother was okay. Jason had been too focused on his revenge and making sure that the Phantoms didn’t escape that he had forgotten to make sure that nothing happened to his mother while he was gone. But thankfully, when Jason arrived, there were no police cars or Enforcers outside his mother’s apartment. Jason hadn’t been gone that long, so Jason was sure they just hadn’t gotten here yet. It wouldn’t be long before they came here to try and find him.
Jason began walking towards the building and he ordered one of the five Rook Class Phantoms to move ahead of him along with its subordinate. The Phantoms slipped out from Jason’s Alternate Dimension and easily fell into the shadow before they went ahead of Jason to enter the building. One of the Phantoms immediately went towards Jason’s mother’s apartment and slipped in through the shadow under the door while the other went around the rest of the building to make sure that there was nothing dangerous in there. Jason used the [Eye of the King] to look through the eyes of the Phantom that was in his mother’s apartment and he was surprised when he saw that there was someone sitting in the living room with his mother and sister. The three of them were talking about something serious and Jason could see the look of worry on his mother and sister’s faces.
Jason frowned before he told Riyala to pull up her hood and make sure no one could see her scales. She did as she was told before they made their way up the stairs and towards the apartment. Jason knocked once before he immediately opened the door and stepped inside.
"Mum."
Jason called out for his mother and Mira turned to the door immediately! Her face brightened once she set eyes on Jason and she jumped off the couch and ran toward him!
