While holding the fruit, and seeing the dangerous old man slowly walking towards her like a predator that’s about to attack at any moment, the muscles on Annette’s entire body slowly started to squirm violently around, as if they were little serpents that were slowly waking up from deep slumber. The fruit in her left hand quickly started to disappear as the muscles on the palm that was holding the fruit turned into tiny flesh colored serpents of various shapes and sizes with mouths filled with jagged teeth. They started gnawing at the fruit ferociously, until it was devoured completely within a millisecond.
Looking at the young lady whose once beautiful face slowly morphed into a grotesque one filled with wriggling muscles that looked like a bunch of tiny serpents squirming around violently, the old man could only raise his hands in the air and say calmly, “Don’t worry child, I come in peace. My name is Trent Shiler. But you probably may not have heard of me.” as he continued chewing on the fruit in his mouth. The dangerous aura that made Annette’s hairs stand on end, also dissipated, as if it was all an illusion.
Hearing the old man call out his last name stunned the high-strunged Annette. She then slowly calmed down after the dangerous aura around him dissipated, as her wriggling muscles slowly wriggled back to their original position on her body, before lying still, like a den of snakes going back to sleep. After calming down, she couldn’t help but stare into space in thought. For she knew that although she did not recognize the old man before her, or his first name, she knew that the entire district of the city that they were currently in was governed by the noble Shiler family.
Since he was an elder of the Shiler family, she decided it was best to be respectful in front of him, since it seems he didn’t enter her chariot with ill intentions. “Let’s talk outside. The little one is still asleep.” Trent Shiler softly said, as he then slowly walked by the stunned Annette, and left through the opened chariot doors, leaving her inside of it, while she was still lost in her own thoughts.
After seeing him leave, Annette quickly went over to inspect the sleeping Elena, to make sure she was doing fine, before following the old man out the chariot’s door. She couldn’t help but wonder as she left, ‘Why is a noble from the great Shiler family inside my chariot? How did he even get in? Also, why was he eating the food in my kitchen?’
“How’s my granddaughter doing in there? Is she still sleeping?” The other old man that was outside, slowly walking towards Hui Shi, and Lain, asked Trent Shiler, the moment he stepped down off the levitating chariot that was levitating about 2 feet off the ground.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR0Tv37w2L
