“Enough! Bring the Second Young Mistress out now!” ordered the woman with a huff.
Once Fae was brought out, the woman helped the siblings up before saying, “I apologize… My younger sister is rather spoiled, which leads to her being unreasonable at times… Here’s a hundred thousand dollar cheque. I hope this’ll be enough as compensation for what my sister has done…”
Shortly after saying that, the woman wrote and presented that cheque for the two, though the siblings were clearly too afraid to take it. Instead, the sister simply bowed toward the woman and Gerald before running off with her brother.
Upon seeing that, the woman helplessly shook her head before turning to face her valet and saying, “Find out where they live and hand them the cheque.”
With all that done, she finally turned to look at Gerald before adding, “I’m sorry you had to see all that… Did my sister hurt you?”
“She didn’t, though she really needs to be disciplined,” replied Gerald, prompting the woman to nod with a smile before leaving with her valet.
And just like that, the incident was over. After they headed back upstairs, the professor couldn’t help but smile as he said, “With how similar they look, those two are definitely sisters. However, to think that one is so unruly while the other so elegant. That aside, it’s a good thing the elder sister could handle that little monster. Otherwise, the siblings would have suffered!”
“Fae’s sister… Isn’t what she appears to be… Haven’t you noticed that Fae feared her?” replied Saint Darkwind.
“Huh? Where’s this coming from, Mr. Darkwind?” asked the confused professor.
Chuckling in response, Saint Darkwind then explained, “Well, you couldn’t sense it since you’re only cultivating your inner strength. However, the three of us could see that that woman was cultivating essential qi. That, in itself, is rather unusual!”
