Strange Worlds-Chapter 402: The Aftermath (3)

It was that simple.

But the cold hearted operation behind it could easily make others feel chills.

"The Black Family has always been operating in the dark and our magic can easily affect our minds, so I’m not surprised by your uncle’s coldheartedness," Patrick said calmly.

In Patrick’s opinion, his cousin’s coldheartedness was nothing surprising.

In fact, Patrick felt that it was very normal.

"You never thought about becoming the Black Family Patriarch, Senior Patrick?" Silas asked slowly.

He didn’t know what Patrick wanted, but he could see that Patrick has been living in seclusion for a long period of time.

Did he never think about going out?

"I never coveted that position and never will." Patrick shook his head. "Besides, I think that his real goal has never been to be the Black Family Patriarch."

Silas was taken aback and then he remembered the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

"Do you mean the position of the fifth head of Wansu City? But from what I know, the Black Family might not be able to become the head." Silas looked at Patrick in confusion.

After all, the Black Family’s magic was a bit special and even in Wansu City, there were many people who disliked the Black Family. In Silas opinion, there was no way the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would allow the Black Family Patriarch to become the Fifth Head of Wansu City.

"Normally yes," Patrick said and then he asked, "But how many people are qualified to contend for this position now?"

It has been a long time since Patrick came out of his seclusion and there were many things that he didn’t know. But he was sure that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t remain idle.

To become the next head of Wansu City, they needed to have enough prestige and power.

There were not many magic warriors rank 6 in Wansu City and Patrick believed that it was not that easy for these magic warriors to reach rank 6. One of the reasons was their lack of talent and another reason was because of the lack of resources.

After all, magic warrior is a profession that requires a lot of resources for them to advance.

Without enough resources, it was simply impossible for them to advance quickly no matter how good their talents were.

This was why while Patrick’s talent was really good, it took him a long time to reach his current rank while he was staying confined here.

"How many people?" Silas repeated and thought about it.

To be honest, the person who was thought to be the next head was actually the Green Family Patriarch. But after he passed away during the battle for that mine, it would be impossible for him to be the next one.

Are there anyone more suitable than him?

Nathan might be an option before he chose to travel on his own for revenge.

And from what Silas had heard, Nathan attacked Xunsu City openly not long ago, which definitely would make him hated in the entire three cities’ area.

For the fifth head of Wansu City...

Silas’ expression turned strange.

"I don’t think there’s anyone suitable to be the next head," Silas said after a while.

Patrick looked at Silas. "Not even one?"

Silas shook his head.

No one was particularly prominent in Wansu City. If there was anyone who was prominent, it would be the Green Family Patriarch.

Aside from him, Silas couldn’t really remember anyone.

"In that case, the next head is probably someone from the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s family."

Silas stayed quiet.

Patrick shrugged and then asked, "Why are you so concerned about this matter? Do you want to try escaping from Wansu City?"

Escaping from Wansu City?

"I don’t know."

His father died to protect the peace in Wansu City and Silas has been staying in Wansu City for almost his entire life. He had paid a visit to Central Magic City and saw the prosperous city there, but Silas knew very well that it was a completely different place from theirs.

Going there was also unrealistic because people without enough resources wouldn’t be able to live in the Central Magic City.

But staying in Wansu City...

Silas could guess that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would definitely come and ask him some questions about Aya and his other students. Because from what Silas could see, these students managed to reach the building and should have obtained a large amount of magic crystals.

Thinking about what he saw when he was controlling the puppet to help Aya back then, Silas really wanted to go out.

The resources from these ghosts realms were really tempting.

And these resources could easily made one being targeted by others.

But at the same time, Silas didn’t know whether he should leave or not.

"Make your own decisions. It’s your life and only you are qualified to make decision about your future life," Patrick said slowly.

Silas nodded and then said, "Thank you.. Uncle."

Patrick arched his eyebrows and laughed lightly.

He watched as Silas left and took a deep breath. While Silas didn’t say much about what happened recently, Patrick could guess that the rank 7 magic warrior should be related to Silas.

’Could it be one of his students?’ Patrick remembered that Silas’ students should be around this age.

But after a while, Patrick laughed lightly.

It would be good if that was the case.

Because in this way the Fourth Head of the Wansu City wouldn’t be able to hold back and definitely made trouble for Silas.

At that time, Silas would be able to see the true face of Wansu City clearly.

As for what would happen in the future...

Patrick had no interest in thinking about it or anything like that.

It would be better for him to stay here and stay as a leisurely magic warrior.

’But I need to advance to rank 7 soon...’
