章節 259: Chapter 250: Mrs. Paccito's worries

'Feck.'

Before Erick could blink once more, Rehan was no longer inside the apartment. And seconds later, he stood hovering in the air, in front of Erick.

"Long time no see," the warlock greeted.

Instead of answering him, a kick swung towards him.

Rehan quickly dodged the kick and dropped neatly on the ground. He looked up to see an empty spot where Erick sat earlier.

He swiftly swung his hand next to his face and soon after, there was another kick that hit Rehan's palm. He then pushed the foot away, shoving Erick a few meters away.

Erick jumped and turned in his steps before landing further from Rehan.

The two of them looked at each other quietly.

"What are you doing here?" Erick asked.

"I was just visiting my friend," Rehan replied. "It was rude of you to snoop into our private conversation."

Erick cocked an eyebrow. "I did not expect that your friend would be an ex owner of a daycare center," he mocked. "I wonder what kind of things you two would share in common or interest to create such a wonderful friendship," he continued sarcastically.

"Perhaps our mutual dislike for the orthodox shifters in this world?" Rehan suggested.

Erick scoffed. "What a useless interest," he commented. "One that should have been eliminated years ago."

After he had said that, he immediately rushed towards Rehan with his arm pulled back, intending to land a punch. Unfortunately, Rehan had seen through his actions and immediately dodged his attack by jumping and then floating in mid-air.

Erick looked up and as he peered closely, he realized that the warlock was actually standing on his wand. It was his first time seeing the warlock with his wand. And he could sense the strength emitting from it.

Rehan snapped his fingers and soon after, fog started to surround them, trying to blindside Erick with a vision defect.

However, Erick has grown stronger, compared to before. Hence the fog trick doesn't work on him anymore. He narrowed his eyes, turning his black irises to amber. Once his vision started to clear up, he could see Rehan was about to escape on his wand.

Erick then immediately chased after him.

Just as he was about to reach the warlock, Toby, who was approaching them from the other side, did not realize that he was heading Erick and Rehan's path. He was too absorbed, texting on his phone that he did not see the people in front of him.

Erick inwardly cursed when he saw the man that he had to break his run, nearly colliding with him. Rehan was more fortunate as he just swept above Toby and smoothly ran away while Erick was hindered.

Toby's eyes widened when he saw Erick suddenly running towards him and was trying to stop his speed. He did not even notice Rehan had flown above him.

"Master Erick!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Erick screeched to a stop a couple of metres away from Toby. His face looked furious as he thought of his plan to finally capture the warlock hampered by the other man.

"What the heck were you doing?" he gritted out in anger, not wanting to shout since he doesn't want to disturb the neighbourhood with his shouting.

Toby was startled at the anger Erick was showing. He had never seen anger on the other man's face and was baffled as to what had happened to cause such anger. "I… I was… I was looking… uhh…" he stammered nervously.

Erick stepped forward and grabbed the front collar of Toby's shirt. "You've caused me to lose my prey!" he hissed out.

Toby's eyes widened more. Erick's voice… doesn't seem like it belongs to him. It was more… hoarse. Prince Dane?!?

It was this scene where Master Silas and Ronan had found them together. Apparently, the three of them were planning to sneak into Mrs. Paccito's apartment. Master Silas, at first, thought it would be good if they were to work together with Erick but the latter disagreed. Thus, they could only do it their way. They knew that Erick still has his doubts about Mrs. Paccito's involvement with Harding so they wanted to look for more evidence at her place. They could not do it during the daylights because they did not want to be seen by other people.

And they weren't sure whether they were fortunate or not to have concerned neighbours but every time, Ronan tried to come to her place, without Mrs. Paccito's knowledge, her neighbours would gush at the latter, saying she was lucky to have a nice son who likes to make surprise visits to her.

Back then, Mrs. Paccito wasn't suspicious of Ronan yet. But as he became more viscid, wanting to know more about her activities and what she does, she became more sceptical. He changed after he had returned from overseas a couple of years back, making her wonder whether his behavior had changed due to outside influence.

She became more concerned and worried after she realized that he knew about her other 'side' job. She did not want him to be involved or even know about her affairs, thus why she decided to give him the ownership of the daycare to diminish his suspicion. Despite them not being close, she actually does care about her adopted son.

Hence why she was so shocked when she received legal letters about him suing her. It was then she decided that she needed help. Apparently, Amber wasn't going to help her since it seems that her fiance will be standing for her adopted son. She had never dealt with these kinds of things and that was why she sought for Lord Rehan's help.

She had thought that the warlock wouldn't want to help her so she was quite surprised to hear from him that he would be coming that night to discuss.

However, before she could tell him more about his worries, he suddenly disappeared from her sight. Looking out her window, she could only see a blurry image wheezing through the air, out of sight.

What was she going to do now?
