章節 31: Adam Jaeger!

Traveling on the official road again, this time, more people were riding together.

While the brother and sister were riding together, Kyle's slaves were following closely behind them. At the forefront, Ivan led the whole group since he knew the route to the Wild Wolf village.

Thea had explained to them about her plan, which had nothing to do with fighting the city guards. She planned to bribe the guards. Ivan asked her if that would work. Would the city guards take the bribe and leave the wild wolf Village alone after that?

Thea answered by saying that she had persuading power and that she will solve the problem.

Ivan could only believe in her. Now they needed to catch up to the City guards first.

"Miss Thea, can you tell me why you are so confident in persuading the City guards?" Kyle asked because he couldn't understand what card she had to solve the problem with Paison's shop and the City guards.

Seeing that Ivan had gone ahead, Thea said while riding her horse along with Kyle's and Naina, "Do you know the surname of that person?"

"No... What is it?" Kyle appeared confused.

"His name is Ivan Jaeger."

"Ivan Jaeger... Jaeger! That Jaeger! Is he related to that person? Oh my god, then why don't we go straight to him? Not to mention the Paison shop, even its backer would not want to get on his bad side." Kyle looked quite excited upon thinking about that famous person.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Thea knew how much of a big fan Kyle was of that person.

"I think Ivan has some family issues as he doesn't want to talk about them with anyone. You should have heard that rumor about that person, right? He wasn't meant to join the Ribeiro academy without a test since he only had a civilian status."

"Yes, I know about that rumor and much more. Adam Jaeger's parents have civilian status, but the Jaeger family who has the status of knights gave him the admission token to study inside the Ribeiro Academy as he came from their branch family. After all, admission token to Ribeiro Academy is scarce, and each noble and aristocrat is only given a few according to their status. Knights family can only have one token for each generation use. It was shocking to see that a Noble family had given their quota to a civilian who was only a relative and not a direct descendant ... But as far as I know, Adam had not used the token and had instead gotten entrance after going through the test with his own ability."

"Yes, that is indeed the case. At the last moment, he decided to take the test instead of enrolling straightaway. I can guess that Ivan Jeager, who seems to be the direct descendant, should not have liked when his opportunity was taken away by Adam. After all, he had to wait for two years before he could come here and use his family token to enroll in the Ribeiro Academy."

"There should be some dispute between them, but we don't need to bother ourselves with other people's family matters. I'm saying that we can use Adam's name to force the city guards into burying this matter into the ground and giving them some money as compensation to keep their mouths shut. Do you understand what I'm trying to do?" Thea explained her thoughts.

"Yes, I think I do." Kyle nodded his head. Things have become much easier now that he knew Ivan was related to Adam Jaeger. Though Ivan may not like Adam, that doesn't stop them from using Adam's name to scare away the City guards.

"This Adam. . . Is he that famous?" Naina couldn't help but ask. She had heard everything that they were talking about. Actually, she started to dislike Adam when she heard how Ivan had lost two years.

"Big sister, Adam Jaeger, is the rising star of White Tiger City and the Ribeiro Academy. It is rumored that the duke will knight him after he graduates from the academy as he is the top scorer every year. The military merits he gained by completing many difficult tasks issued by the city and the academy are enough for him to be knighted." Kyle wanted to talk more about the deeds of Adam, who was also his peer as they were in the same class, but a howl of a wolf made him stop talking.

"Awoo~!"

Fenrir came to a stop and looked to his left into the Wild wolf forest.

"What is it, Fenrir?" Ivan asked.

"Awoo, woo!"

"Call by the pack leader. Your pack?" Ivan asked again, but this time, Fenrir did not answer; instead, it rushed into the forest towards the wolves' sound that was continually howling.

Thea, Kyle, and the rest of the three men followed behind him and the wolf into the forest.

...

Captain Eliot and his team followed the two thieves into the wild wolf forest two hours ago. They were made to run in a circle by the two cunning thieves for quite some time.

Eva's father knew about this region of the forest like the back of his hand, but he still couldn't shake these pursuers off. They seemed determined to catch them no matter what length they might be made to go. Seeing that nothing was working, Eva's father finally led the city guards deeper into the wild wolf forest.

That is where they encountered a small pack of wolves. Eva's father stuffed the two healing potions he had stolen from Paison's shop into his comrade and fellow villager's clothes before he told him to hide while he leads the wolves away.

Eva's father had quite an experience in dealing with the wild wolves. Therefore, he was able to gain the attention of the carnivorous animals and lead them in the direction of the City guards who were still pursuing their tracks.

Eliot was excited when he found the thief coming in his direction, but he never expected that the thief would bring him a headache.

"You son of a bitch!" Eliot openly cursed before ordering his men to get ready for battle.
