Chapter 279
âThe sales associate regained clarity the moment Kayson pulled out the ball of mind power left in
her. She stared at the black globule of energy on Kaysonâs needle in disbelief and asked, â What is
this?â
She could not move but she could hear and see.
âThe medium the culprit left in you to control you.â Kayson produced a porcelain vial and put the
energy in with a wooden cork that had a rune on it.
Even though the sales associate found it absurd, she believed it now. There was really something as
bizarre in this world!
Shyla went up to her with a soft smile. âDonât be scared. What's your name?â
âI-I'm Waverly Faber.â âI'm Shyla Tinsley, and this is my sister, Cecile Redcliff, and my boyfriend,
Kayson Yarde.â Kayson glanced at Shyla as she said that, but the latter seemed unfazed. She was not
looking at Kayson as she asked Waverly, âWaverly, have you come across a strange or peculiar
person, lately?â
âNo, I've been working basically every day,â Waverly answered.
Kayson walked to the side to retrieve a pen and a piece of paper, wrote a prescription, and then
passed it to Waverly."Get the herbs on this prescription. As a regular person, being controlled by
mind expansion will harm you. âThese are nourishing and adjusting herbs. Have them until you're
physically and mentally fine."Waverly accepted the prescription Kayson gave her and thanked
him.After Kayson got what he needed from Waverly, he left with the two girls.âKayson, what do we
do next?â Shyla still did not understand why someone would want to poison her and Cecile.
Kayson's tone was determined when he answered, âWe find the culprit."Shyla chuckled wryly. âHow?
It's like finding a needle in a haystack."The Tinsleys were influential, but this was not their territory. It
might be easy to find a regular person, but searching for an expert who had poisoned them so far
from their home turf would be a challenge.
âI have my ways. I'm not letting the culprit off the hook when he dared to poison you both."The
culprit had to be a grandmasterâlevel fighter. Their mind expansion power was not strong, but
Kayson could feel a domineering vibe laced within it.He had planned to let the girls go home first,
but upon further consideration, he kept them around him lest they were ambushed again. He took
them to a quiet park, and just as heopened the vial trapping the black ball of energy, the rune stuck
on the cork was burned out of thin air The ashes and the globule of energy were combined into one
as they floated away in a particular direction.
Cecileâs eyes widened as she asked curiously, âKayson, are you performing a magic trick?"Kayson
chortled. âIt's not magic, Cecile. It's a tracking technique of the philosophy branch.âYou know so
much!â Shyla looked astonished.Kayson replied with a smile as he walked, âA little. It's what my
mentor taught me âMy mentor knows a lot of things and has taught me all of them since I was
young, regardless of whether I was able to learn it or not."Cecile sighed. âYour mentor must be like
an immortal if you're already this amazing!"âl have no idea. I barely see him as it is."The black
globule of energy led Kayson and the girls down the road. A few hours later, the three of them
reached the suburbs, where a manor was located.Kayson took a look and commented, âSeems like
heâs a rich guy.â Shyla nodded and walked toward the gate.
