Chapter 132: An Omen


    At that moment, Jessie and Titus alsopleted their work in South Borough and already entered Nobles'' Borough.


    "How many letters are still there?" Titus asked in a tired tone.


    "We are almost done. There are only 40 more letters." Jessie said and started walking towards arge mansion.


    Once she arrived in front of the three-storied mansion, she gave him a sealed letter and continued.


    "That''s the Duke Milton''s mansion. The guards will get suspicious if you went near the entrance, so just throw it in the yard. Those guards or the servants will definitely find it in the next few minutes."


    Nodding his head, Titus stealthily went near thepound gate, threw the letter towards the green yard, and then joined Jessie.


    After that, the duo stealthily went towards Baron Greyson''s mansion area.


    Time flew by, and soon they arrived in front of a lone two-storied mansion at the farther corner of Elm Street.


    "This is the final one." Jessie gave the letter and took out a small pocket watch from her void pouch.


    In the meantime, Titus caught the letter, went near the mansion, and threw it in the yard.


    "What are you doing,d?"


    At that moment, he heard a cold voice from behind.


    With an rmed look, Titus turned around and soon squinted his eyes as he saw a tall, muscr man, who was about 190 cm tall, stood behind Jessie.


    "You haven''t answered my question,d." The muscr man said and ced his hand on Jessie''s shoulder.


    In the meantime, Jessie''s body quivered in fear.


    ''We are doomed.'' That thought appeared in her mind.


    ''Why are you anxious over a simple thing,ss?'' Another old man''s voice echoed in her head.


    "Who is it?" She shouted in an rmed tone while startling the muscr man and escaped from his grasp.


    ''Don''t shout. I''m Oswald''s Cane and I''m here to help you.'' The red-gem embedded bracelet let out a dim light and responded.


    Shock appeared on Jessie''s face as she nced at her bracelet and then at the muscr man.


    In the meantime, the muscr man unsheathed his broadsword from his shoulder and curled his lips upward.


    "I''m this mansion''s head guard,ss. Now, tell me what are you doing here?" His cold voice made Jessie and Titus tremble unconsciously.


    At that moment, Jessie heard the same old man''s voice in her head.


    ''Hoho, let me take care of this.''


    As the old man''s voice ended, an invisible power spread out from her bracelet and freezes the muscr man''s body on the spot!


    The next instant, the tall figure dropped his broadsword.


    Not only that, but he also started to pant heavily and soon fell backward!


    Upon seeing this, Jessie and Titus went dumbfounded.


    ''Get out from here.'' Soon, Jessie heard a strange old man''s voice in her head and snapped out from the daze.


    Without any hesitation, she grabbed Titus''s hand and hurriedly ran away from there.


    Both soon left the Nobles'' Borough and soon went to 11C Orchard Street.


    By the time they reached their home, it was already around 12.15 P.M.


    "We are back." Titus almost shouted as he saw the house and soon dashed inside.


    In the meantime, Jessie slows down her footsteps, turned her gaze towards the red-gem embedded bracelet, and asked in her mind.


    ''What is your name, Mister?''


    ''Call me Rh. But don''t tell your friends about me.'' The Holem''s Crown said in her mind.


    At first, she hesitated and soon nodded her head.


    ''Hoho, you really are a good child.'' The Holem''s Crown paused for a moment and then added.


    ''Okay. Your second mission starts now.''


    ''Second mission?'' Jessie stopped her footsteps and soon raised her eyebrows.


    ''Yes, you guys should pack your belongings and meet your teacher outside Chester City before 1.00 P.M.''


    Upon hearing those words, Jessie frowned and then shook her head.


    ''Our teacher told us toe here before 12.30. Then, he said that he is going to tell something important.''


    ''Don''t you understand why he gave me to you?'' The Holem''s Crown asked with a chuckle and then continued.


    ''He already left the city and is waiting for you guys in New Town.''


    Jessie''s mind became chaos for a moment.


    ''Why would our teacher leave us here? Why did he give those strange missions?'' Confusion appeared in her eyes.


    But soon, she made up her mind and nodded her head.


    ''I believe in your words. Although I don''t understand our teacher''s action, I''m 100 % sure that he won''t give his artifact to me without any reason.''


    Even the Holem''s Crown became stunned for a moment and soon spoke.


    ''You sure are quick at making decisions. Now, tell your friends to pack up their belongings. We must leave this city before 1.00 P.M.''


    Jessie felt the urgency in the old man''s tone and hurriedly walked into their house.


    Inside, she saw Noel and Rhea sat on the cold floor while Titus was in the middle of asking questions about their today''s mission.


    Once Jessie walked inside the reception hall, she turned her face solemnly and spoke in a hurried tone.


    "I just now got a call from Teacher. He told us to pack our belongings and go to the nearby town."


    "What?!" Both Rhea and Noel stood up in surprise. In the meantime, Titus wore a startled look on his face and asked in puzzlement.


    "How did he contact you?"


    A smile appeared on Jessie''s face as she raised her hand and pointed her finger towards the red-gem embedded bracelet.


    The next instant, everyone nodded their heads and started packing their belongings.


    Within five minutes, they stored their luggage in Jessie''s void pouch and walked out of the two-storied house.


    They then gave onest look at the building and started walking out of thepound gate.


    "I wonder how Blood Priest and others are doing in Sweet Vige," Noel said in a worried tone.


    "Don''t worry, Noel. We will return to the vige one day." Jessie paused for a moment and then continued with a serious expression on her face.


    "But now is not the time. Let''s go, we need to hurry, otherwise; we might meet bandits on the way."


    Meanwhile, other kids nodded their heads and followed after her.


    …


    Tower of Elements, Eighth Layer,


    A ck-haired woman in herte twenties sat in her private hall and was in the middle of deciphering a secret letter. She wore a jade robe, had scarlet eyes, an oval face, thin eyebrows, and a small nose.


    She was none other than the Rank-4 [Fate Warden] ss Mystic, Destiny Lady!


    While she was calcting in her mind, a sharp wind entered the hall through the small gap of the tower wall and caused the crystal chandelier to shake a little.


    At that moment, a small thumb-sized crystal broke away from the chandelier and directly fell on the ss table.


    Then, the crystal collided with the ss table with a nging sound, leaving multiple cracks on the table.


    The cracks soon expanded all over the table and broke down with a bang!


    Seeing such a strange scene, Destiny Lady paused in surprise, closed the secret paper, and squinted her eyes.


    "An omen?" A frown appeared on her forehead.


    She then hurriedly took out her pocket watch from her space ring, flipped open the outer case.


    "12.29." Her heart began to beat faster all of a sudden.


    She instantly stood up from her seat and started walking towards the balcony on the opposite side. Within seconds, she arrived at the edge of the balcony and stared at the bustling city in confusion.


    But a secondter, shock and rage appeared on her face.


    At that moment, Destiny Lady noticed tens of thousands of fate strings severed all of a sudden and became enraged.


    "No, someone is plotting something big!" She hurriedly took out themunication ring and called all the department heads to gather in the Main Hall.


    A few secondster, she stored themunication ring in her space ring and disappeared from there.
