Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character! Chapter 202 What is it? Jenna's curiosity!
Chapter 202
It would have indeed been a difficult mission for a normal Rank-1 to sense and identify the abnormality; however, he was different.
The world around him shifted as he stared at the park. Colors dulled and sharpened in his vision, while shapes morphed subtly, revealing hidden layers beneath the surface. His eyes flashed in a mysterious color as everything was revealed to him. The trees, the people, the very air itself seed to shift in his vision as hidden truths were laid bare before him.
Every pulse of energy, every unseen current in the atmosphere beca visible, threads of power weaving through the ordinary scene.
He could see through everything, and just by standing in one corner, he was able to see the entirety of the park.
It didn't matter if there were trees or people in between; his eyes could see past everything at a glance. It was as if the physical world was a re veil, easily peeled away by his gaze.
It was like peeling away layers of reality, exposing what lay beneath the surface.
He slowly observed the signs of abnormality, and his eyes narrowed as he witnessed sothing.
"Interesting…" A cold smile curled at the edge of his lips, the faintest hint of satisfaction flickering in his expression.
Without lingering in the park any longer, he returned to the hotel. His footsteps were light but purposeful, his mind already racing ahead to the next steps.
He had found sothing interesting.

Sigh, what a chaotic situation… Jenna thought, her fingers lightly drumming the armrest, a distant look in her eyes as she considered the events unfolding.
She leaned back in her chair as she gazed out of the window, her eyes distant, as if observing sothing far away.
The sunlight filtering through the window cast long shadows on the floor, but her eyes seed to see far beyond the confines of the room.
"Still, who could have expected that his sudden departure would make them this restless?" Her voice was soft but carried a note of amusent, as if she were privy to a ga only she could see.
Her lips curled slightly as she spoke, a knowing smile playing on her face.
She stroked her chin and had a aningful look in her eyes. Each movent was deliberate, her mind calculating the possibilities with the precision of a seasoned strategist.
"Does that an they were already aware of the abnormal potential in that boy? Or did they realize this recently…? Given the recent arrangent, it seems they found out during the demon hunt event."
She smirked, her face as beautiful as a piece of fine jade. Yet behind that beauty was sothing far more dangerous, a mind always scheming, always two steps ahead. There was a sharpness to her expression now, like a blade concealed in velvet.
She tapped the armrest of her chair and said aloud, "Go and take advantage of the situation. The supre elders have all been in closed-door seclusion since the last century. Now is the perfect ti." Her voice was a quiet command, laced with a calm authority that brooked no hesitation.
As she looked outside the window, a black shadow of a man erged behind her. The shadow moved with an unnatural fluidity, its form shifting briefly before solidifying into the shape of a man kneeling. The shadow knelt and answered, "Yes, madam."
It disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Like smoke dissipating into thin air, the figure vanished, leaving no trace of its presence.
Jenna still didn't turn around, but in the next mont, a purple dal appeared in her hand.
If Oliver were here, he would have easily recognized the dal as the sa dark artifact he had sold to her long ago.
The [dal of Eternal Pain].
"Oh, how I wish I could act now… but no, there's still so ti." Her voice dropped to a whisper, filled with both longing and restraint.
Her slender fingers grazed the tallic surface of the purple dal as she whispered.
The cool tal sent a faint vibration through her fingertips, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Unexpectedly, the boy gave sothing important for my revenge. My plans have accelerated significantly thanks to this." Her eyes darkened as she spoke, the weight of her words heavy with intent.
She gazed at the dal, the potent dark espera radiating from it seeming to have no effect on her. This dark espera, known to have driven countless people mad, was ineffective in her hands.
"Compared to this, so void dust is a fair trade… Still, I am quite curious about what he needs such a thing for." A glint of curiosity flickered in her eyes, though it quickly gave way to calculation.
She pondered deeply but could not co up with anything.
Void dust was not sothing simple. It was found in mysterious black rocks that sotis fell from the sky. Not only was void dust a very powerful material, but in the hands of an exceptional alchemist, it could turn into sothing phenonal.
Obtaining void dust was not easy, but for her, one of the top executives of the Black Code Federation, it wasn't a resource she lacked. Her position ensured that even the most elusive materials were within reach.
This was also why she had easily agreed to Oliver's request.
Nonetheless, after Oliver left the clan, the information was quickly sent to the top elders in charge of handling the missions, causing a stir in the departnt.
The swift transmission of information triggered a chain reaction, the ripple effect of his departure spreading quickly through the ranks.
It was no trivial matter that one of the heirs was so easily assigned a mission without anyone being aware of it.
A thorough investigation was already underway to identify the cause of it all.
Of course, she had already cleared all traces relating to her beforehand, so no matter what, the investigations would never lead back to her in any way.
She had covered her tracks ticulously, like a spider spinning an invisible web around her actions.
Now, she was curious if the clan would act as she had expected or do sothing else. Her fingers drumd the armrest again, her mind racing with possibilities.
