Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 221 - Intimidation Threat



The boy was so intimidated that he was struggling to breathe. He panted heavily before slowly falling to his knees. 

"Let\'s go, John." Said Serena as she suddenly turned around and grabbed on to John\'s hand 

John let himself be pulled and together the two walked back from the direction John had come from. 

As they walked through the hall, the two looked at each other, before smiling at each other. 

"Thanks, you really can be kind when you want to." Said John 

"What\'s that supposed to mean? I\'m always kind. You just haven\'t realised it." Serena replied rather happily 

"Really? I\'m pretty sure I would have, if you did." 

Hearing this, Serena let out a snort before she started laughing 

"If only you did..." She muttered as she let out a sigh 

"What\'s that supposed to mean...?" 

"See, like I said, you don\'t notice. But let\'s leave that for later, I have a question." 

��Don\'t just side-track it like that... And Sure, what do you need to know?" John asked 

"That thing you said about my beauty standing out... Was that true...?" She asked as she looked at him 

"Hm... I don\'t know, was it?" John asked teasingly 

Seeing this, Serena stared at him closely with a curious look 

There were times where she thought she could understand him and others where she couldn\'t. 

"I\'m joking, I was being honest, you do look... b-beautiful today." 

[Ah, crap, I lost my cool] 

"W-why are you only getting nervous now-" 

After she said that, she tightened the grip around John\'s hand but in that instant 

*Slam * 

the sound of the doors at the end of the hallway behind them were slammed opened. Surprised, the two let go out of each other\'s hand. 

They turned to see who it was and both had a displeased look on their faces when they realised it was Adam 

"You\'d really rather pick that boy over me?" He asked with a pissed off expression on his face. 

Serena who heard this let out a sigh while John quietly watched. 

"Of course." 

The boy expected something else, but that was it. Serena turned around and continued to walk to where they were heading to John. The boy didn\'t get an explanation of why she had made that choice and that only infuriated him more. 

"Damn it... You\'ll regret this!!" 

The two ignored his threat before opening the door to the room main hall which was the door in front of them. 

Everyone was eating there, and the boy wouldn\'t be stupid enough to attempt anything. If he did, then John planned on stepping in. 

"Don\'t ignore m-" 

The two walked through the door before closing it, making it so that the sound of whatever he was going to say wouldn\'t reach them. 

The sound of chatters and rich nobles laughing amongst each other, could be heard throughout the room. 

John couldn\'t see Lydia, Tiana or Zakaragi anywhere, but he wasn\'t too worried about it 

"So, what now?" Serena asked 

"Now, I need to find a place to put these two before looking for Master Sylvia and Ariel." 

"Right..." 

Serena looked rather down, she probably wanted to do many things in the party to enjoy it. Seeing this, John tried to think of something fun the two of them could do and he eventually got an idea. 

"The party looks like it\'s about to start, so we should hurry up and get these two a place to sleep." 

"These two?" Serena asked 

"Look at what\'s on my right." Said John as he placed his hand on her shoulder 

Serena nearly let out a scream as she saw the two kids floating next to John. It managed to catch her off guard, the last thing she expected was for it to be the spirit of two kids. 

"John... Why are there two spirits following you?" Serena asked 

"Spirits? Where- Oh, they aren\'t sprits, they\'re living people." 

Hearing that, Serena then gave John a look of disgust 

"So you\'ve fallen this low..." She muttered 

"Oi, stop assuming things! And could you stop looking at me like that?" 

"So, how did this happen?" 

"It\'s a long story." 

"There better be a good reason for this." 

"There is." 

She gave john another stare before eventually letting out a sigh 

"Alright, where do we put them?" Serena asked 

"I was hoping you\'d know that." John replied 

Serena placed her hand on her chin as she tried to recall where exactly it could have been, before saying. 

"There are a few rooms where we could put them... But I mean anyone could just walk in so it might not be safe." 

"That\'s great! Let\'s take them there quickly so we can have some time for ourselves." 

"Okay, but like I said, anyone could just walk in. Judging from their clothes, they\'re commoners. If anyone were to find out, they\'d be punished for trespassing without permission." 

"Don\'t worry about it, I\'ll make sure they\'re unnoticeable." Said John reassuringly 

Hearing this, Serena nodded, before pulling him towards the other side of the hall. John used this opportunity to see if he could find Lydia, Tania or Zakaragi, but he had no luck. 

[Where did they go? Should I just try finding them with deprehendre...? But I have a lock on Ariel\'s magic trace right now... They should be fine, I mean I can still feel their presence here, I just don\'t know where.] 

John eventually decided to just leave it for now, and if they still didn\'t turn up after he came back, then he\'d start searching. 

[Speaking about Ariel... Why do I have a bad feeling...] 

The direction they were heading to, was the west side of the mansion judging by the entrance. Meaning he was heading on the direction where he had seen the other light. Which Is obviously Ariel as Serena was the one with him. 

"Hey, Serena. Why did you and Ariel split up, anyways" John asked 

At the same moment, Serena opened the doors to the west hall.
