Chapter 825: There Is Someone Behind The Scenes

After finishing with his void summons, Northern did not return to the vicinity of Lithia—at least, not in mind.

Instead, his consciousness drifted to Verulania, the estate where the students were gathered. By the time he arrived, his clone was already inside, pretending to be asleep. Or was it actually asleep?

If Northern commanded it to rest, it probably would.

Taking control of his clone, he sat up and glanced out the window.

Tonight, the moonlight was especially bright. Both celestial bodies gazed upon him, as if the personification of the stars had borrowed a brilliant pair of goggles to survey the world.

A cold wind rushed through the open window, filling the room with an icy bite. He didn't recall closing it—not since the last time he had stepped out to meet the mercenaries.

His thoughts wandered to them.

Roma, too, would have been dead if not for him. And for what?

A small frown settled on his face. He wasn't the type to dwell on others once they were gone, but it seemed the infection that plagued Roma had somehow spread to him as well.

With a silent step, Northern leaped through the window, vanishing into the night. His figure blurred across the sky, a streak of motion, before he landed lightly in a familiar place.

The shop was just closing down.

A tall, slim man—his formal attire slightly disheveled, sleeves rolled up—was locking the double doors.

He turned, and upon seeing the figure before him, staggered back.
