After listening to Leonardo's words, Renault sat on the sofa tiredly.

"The murderer of 'The Disappearance of Acacia' turned out to be a guy named Phantom. This is already very surprising. Moreover, Acacia is the village where Helen grew up. It is incredible that she survived."

‘The Disappearance of Acacia’ was an incident that happened 10 years ago. The entire village disappeared overnight, and no one knew where they were.

This incident is famous because, apart from the fact that there was no trace of a struggle, everything around the family and surroundings that had just been dining was suddenly gone.

"But why on earth did she survive?"

"I don't know. Maybe it was Phantom's whim, or maybe it just went undetected. We thought no one would survive until the then 14-year-old was found shaking under the floorboards."

"Hmm..." Reynold responded boringly, leaning on the sofa again and looking up at the ceiling. He recalls the village of his childhood and the town where he lived as a slave. The two are somewhat similar, but only slightly overlapping.

"May I?"

"Huh?" Renault, who suddenly smiled evilly, raised his head and looked at Leonardo.

"Her abilities are very attractive. Considering the future, I decided to make her your partner."

"Oh? Partner?"

"Do you have any objection? I have given this task to you."

"I have no opinion."

"But that kid is pretty tricky."

"My life has always been difficult, and now is no exception." Renault smiled proudly, and then continued, "What exactly is a phantom? Is it just a criminal?"

"He is elusive and unidentified. We know nothing about him other than calling himself 'The Phantom.'"

"You and the Knights are so weak to let a guy like this last for more than ten years." Although Renault spoke harshly, Ryan was speechless.

The two people present were silent for a while. Renault said nothing and stood up directly.

"I've asked what I want to know, and I'm leaving." Reno stretched slightly, tapped the floor with his right foot, and the sound of the magic hanging in the room cracking sounded.

"That's too rude." Leonardo lowered his head in frustration as his magic was easily destroyed. But he looked up at Renault and asked, "Do you have anything else to do now?"

"Go visit Kaiping."

"Well, is it a hospital?" Leonardo seemed to have thought of something and stood up.

"Do me a favor?"

"Um?"

As Leonardo spoke, he picked up a brown envelope from his desk and handed it to Renault: "There is a Knights headquarters near the hospital. I hope you can send this letter to the leader."

"Can't you just let your subordinates do this kind of thing?"

"You are also one of my subordinates."

"I have never been your subordinate."

Leonardo puffed up his cheeks angrily: "It's really not cute... everyone is very busy. Besides, it doesn't hurt to meet people from the Knights. It doesn't hurt you, right?"

Renault pondered for a moment, then grabbed the envelope in Leonardo's hand: "Oh, grandpa, you really use people for free. Can you please give me a drink next time?" Renault complained as he opened the door.

"It's up to you, you're still underage, right?" Leonardo looked back a little boringly in the middle of Renault's words.

"Then just drink hot milk." After saying that, Renault left the room.

Falling into silence again, Leonardo, who stayed in the room, looked at the door where Renault left, and secretly praised in his heart: "That guy is so interesting."

The fresh wind passed through the room, fluttering the white curtains beside the window. Kaiping opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling.

This is no ordinary sight. Suddenly, the memory before he lost consciousness flashed back in his mind: "I remember that I seemed to push the gentleman away and then was stabbed." Kaiping woke up with a start and sat up.

"Ah!" There was severe pain in his abdomen, and his expression was twisted in pain. Suddenly, he noticed that his right hand was being held. Looking over, Nia was still holding Kaiping's right hand tightly, lying there sleeping soundly.

"Sir..." As if hearing the voice, Nia moved and raised her head.

"Ah, Keping. You're awake, I'm sorry I fell asleep." Nia smiled and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Is it still hurting there?"

"Well, a little bit more."

Hearing Kaiping's words, Nia's expression became heavy: "I'm sorry, I accidentally put you in danger."

Kaiping smiled softly and immediately shook his head: "No, it's not your fault, sir. Besides, I'm more concerned about whether you are injured than this." Kaiping gently stroked Nia's head with his left hand. Yaya laughed happily.

"By the way, what happened next?" As soon as Kaiping finished speaking, Nia immediately replied: "It's amazing! Renault defeated the enemy in one go!!"

"Sir, in the hospital, please lower your voice."

"Ah, I'm sorry, but he moves really fast."

"Really? I really want to see it."

"It's a real pity. By the way, Helene is there too."

"Miss Hailin is here too?"

"Well, she was protecting me while I was giving first aid to Kaiping."

"Really? Then I must express my gratitude." After Kaiping finished speaking, Nia smiled and replied: "Yes."

"By the way, about Renault." Nia said suddenly. Kaiping shook his head in confusion: "What's the matter?"

“Was Renault an ‘incompetent person’ before?”

"Yes, I heard that's the case."

"I have only met Renault, the 'incompetent', so I don't actually know, but I heard that the 'incompetent' should not be able to do any magic." Nia said in a vague tone, Kaiping waved his hand. Difficulty understanding.

"He told me that skills are acquired, which I can accept. However, I can feel the weak magic power on him, and I don't understand."

"Well, it stands to reason that you shouldn't even have magic power, right?"

Nia nodded.

"Did you get it the day after tomorrow?"

"Well, acquired skills are rare, but a few cases do exist. However, I've never heard of anyone acquiring magical powers later in life."

Kaiping nodded affirmatively.

It is not uncommon to hear stories of people who have been on the verge of life and death multiple times, increasing the sheer amount of their magic power. However, the story of a person who originally had no magic power suddenly acquires it does not exist in this world.

"Should I ask myself?" Nia was still hesitating.

"It shouldn't be a problem if I ask, right?"

“What if it’s a sensitive issue?”

"Oh, sir, have you begun to understand the overall situation?"

"Ah, this is too much!" Nia patted Kaiping's knee dullly, and Kaiping laughed.

"He's such a strange guy."

Looking at Nia who lowered her head and thought, Kaiping felt very happy. Because it was the first time for Nia that he was interested in someone else.

"It's okay. If there is need, I will help you ask." Kaiping comforted Nia with a smile.
