Adena unexpectedly had void energy. Yes, Cail could feel it, and it seed to be related to her senses. She noticed that there was sothing a bit off about him, but her senses didn’t show anything.
He had no idea how her ability worked, but her health issue had sothing to do with her being a void user. When people awakened as void users, their bodies would strengthen, just like what happened to him.
But for her, her body didn’t follow the normal rules. She had a lot of void energy in her body, but she couldn’t handle it. Her body was too brittle to carry that kind of power; that’s why she was sickly.
Cail also managed to sense a very chaotic void energy inside her. It was very similar to what he had found in Veyr. He had no idea what it was, but he was curious.
After rinsing his mouth, he stepped out of the bathroom and walked to Saeb’s room.
When he opened the door, he wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but inside were nurous air-conditioning units. Cail also froze the mont he stepped in.
"What is that guy doing...?" Is the fire inside him ssing with his body? That could be the only explanation for this ungodly amount of air-conditioners.
There was a knock on the door. Cail paused and opened it. Outside was the butler—the only person besides Chairman Eldreth who knew he wasn’t the real Saeb.
"Young master, your friend is looking for you," the butler said before bowing.
To be honest, the butler wasn’t feeling good. He had seen Cail’s performance below, and he felt terrified. It wasn’t because it was bad, but because the performance was too good—it was unnerving.
For soone as adaptable as that, they were clearly not a good person. The butler eyed Cail. Fortunately, the chairman had made him sign a contract, or else they would’ve had a hard ti controlling him.
Miss Adena’s power was related to bloodline. That was also the main reason they needed Cail and not just so random person to pretend to be Saeb. The main point of this mission wasn’t just tricking others but also making the family believe that the young master Saeb was okay.
Her power wasn’t that specific—it could only pinpoint "people with the sa blood as hers." It didn’t matter if they had different mothers; they just needed to share the sa blood. Cousins wouldn’t work, only siblings.
"Who is he?" This ti, although the only person present was the butler, Cail didn’t drop his performance. Even when asking, he remained composed like Saeb.
"Your friend Hal. He’s here to invite you to the Golden Pot."
**Hal?** That na was familiar to Cail. Those guys were the first people who had introduced him to the world of the void. As for the Golden Pot, it looked like he now had the opportunity to take a look.
"Bring him to the living room. Entertain the guest; I’ll fix myself first." Cail’s hair and shirt were still wet.
The butler nodded. "Yes, young master." His performance was impeccable, as if the person he was serving were really his young master. It was unknown what he was feeling inside, but except for when he had knocked on Cail’s door, Cail didn’t think he was much of an eyesore now.
Hal was invited in by the butler. He sat on the couch and asked, "When was Saeb cured?" Hal had so inside information. He knew that sothing was happening inside Saeb’s body. It was a bit unexpected for him to be jumping around now.
Actually, he wouldn’t have co here if he hadn’t encountered Saeb’s mother at Mada Yvonne’s house.
Thinking about Mada Yvonne, Hal was a bit curious. What had happened during that expedition? Why did everyone co out crippled and weak? Mada Yvonne’s son had been burned, and the injuries couldn’t be healed.
As for his fiancée Inshi... Hal had a bad feeling about her. There had been a ss at Mada Yvonne’s household, and Hal thought she was the culprit.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Hal looked up and saw Saeb coming downstairs. He looked okay, not the slightest bit sick, and was still sporting that dull look.
"It’s fine. How’s your health?" Hal asked.
Cail’s eyes narrowed. A clue? But outwardly, he remained flawless. He frowned a bit. "It’s fine. Although not fully cured, at least I can move around." He sat on the couch with a straight back, as if the disciplinary master was right in front of him.
Hal ate the pastries the butler gave him. "The Golden Pot is open now. Wanna co? I’m taking my team with . You can hitch a ride with us if that’s okay with you."
Actually, he wasn’t as close to Saeb as everyone thought. His parents were the ones who had pushed him to interact with Saeb because they saw that Saeb had a lot of potential and could be helpful in the future.
Hal was cold and didn’t really like talking. Saeb was also stiff. Their conversations consisted of greetings and small talk. But Saeb maybe did consider him a friend because whenever sothing happened, Hal would be the first person he’d go to.
Of course, that’s what others said. Hal felt that Saeb didn’t treat him like a friend, but more like a servant. He seed used to bossing people around and didn’t know how to interact with those of the sa rank.
Cail didn’t care what Hal was thinking, but upon hearing the offer, he agreed. "Sure. When are we leaving?"
Hal drank the tea. "Now." He had been just about to go there.
"I’ll change my shirt first." It looked too casual.
"I think it’s fine." Hal looked at him. Saeb always looked like he was about to go to a ball. Even his casual wear had a hint of elegance. Changing into sothing more formal than what he was wearing now would be overdressing.
Cail had just changed his shirt, so it was clean. He picked up his wallet and key. The two of them made their way to Hal’s car.
The butler looked at their departing backs... Then sothing clicked.
"Did master give him a token?"
