After Mayer took responsibility for compensating all the damage caused because he suggested the friendly spar in the first place, Anne Aldrich Augen quickly smiled once more .
She then returned to the main building and ordered the family doctor to patch Mayer up before bringing Kieran back to the study room .
The moment the study room door was shut, Anne Aldrich Augen sized up Kieran as though she had discovered a rare treasure .
Despite recovering a little, Kieran was still exhausted . He wasn't in the mood to tangle with her at the moment .
He rubbed his temple and asked, "Can you show me your investigation results?"
"Sure! I didn't think that you would actually defeat Mayer!"
Anne Aldrich Augen nodded and passed the file to Kieran, her mouth was praising him ceaselessly .
"Just being lucky . "
Kieran answered after accepting the file .
It wasn't an act of humility but an actual fact .
If the [Knight of Dawn Body Tempering Art] didn't suddenly correspond to his actions and open up the special activation, Kieran would have lost the battle .
Despite him giving it his best, all he could achieve was a draw and the one getting patched up by the family doctor will be him instead of Mayer .
If he lost, he wouldn't have been sitting where he was now, going through the investigation results of Donna Bar and Ximi Candy House .
Though Anne Aldrich Augen didn't share the same thought .
"Being humble is a good virtue but excessive humility will become arrogance . But a person like you having such arrogance is normal too . You know, I am much more curious about your original identity now…"
Anne Aldrich Augen was staring at Kieran in a very seductive manner and posture but it disappointed her when Kieran didn't bat an eye at her actions but concentrated his full attention on the investigation results .
Kieran's reaction made Anne Aldrich Augen scowl . She then lightly moved behind Kieran and threw herself over to him all of a sudden .
It wasn't a malicious act, she was just trying to hug Kieran from behind .
What other extra actions would follow after the hug?
It would only be in Anne Aldrich Augen's mind .
Unfortunately, Kieran didn't even give her the chance to do that .
The moment Anne Aldrich Augen threw herself over, Kieran moved aside and allowed her to move past him . He softly grabbed Anne Aldrich Augen's shoulder and tapped it down, removing most of her momentum before twisting her and sitting her down on the study desk .
"You like this position?" Anne Aldrich Augen spoke softly after she landed her bum on the table .
As she spoke, she lifted both her long fair legs on the desk, moving her fair slim finger across her white thighs . She slightly tilted her body backward, tightening her knight clothing and stretched the contour of her beautiful body line to the fullest .
However, Kieran didn't even lift his head up before turning away .
"This isn't how a gentleman should behave!" Anne Aldrich Augen's movements paused a bit .
Her soft and tender voice from a moment ago switched to an upset tone .
Still, Kieran remained unconvinced .
After he saw the investigation results in his hand, the gears in his mind started spinning .
Donna Bar, another gathering point of the mystics in Edland City . Being completely different than Mecathy and Borjane Books' seclusive traits, Donna Bar was open to all . As long as one could prove they were a mystic, they were allowed to enter .
Ximi Candy House, a shop that sold all sorts of magical potions and had been operating for a lengthy 210 years, a true antique shop .
The owner Ximi was the fourth generation of the Ximi family, he took over the shop from his father a while ago but because of his age, he couldn't achieve what his father had achieved back in the day . Though he was a highly motivated young man and friendly, a popular person among the Edland mystics .
Among the two locations, Ximi Candy House no doubt had a higher value of visiting . Even comparing all the three locations, the value stayed unchanged .
"Could he be aiming for Ximi Candy house? He wanted me to create a diversion and rob the place?"
Kieran thought of the possibility unconsciously but quickly shook his head in denial .
If the fake Gannett wanted to use him to create chaos, there must be some conflict involved .
Although the Mecathy and Borjane Books owner did make his move because of the bounty from the Elder Council, it didn't mean Ximi's fourth generation owner would as well .
Especially when the files did mention the fourth generation Ximi owner was serious and friendly .
Such a person wouldn't attract unwanted conflict by nature .
As for Donna Bar, the female owner Donna herself wouldn't either .
The female owner was an expert in socializing and being resourceful, she'd even part-time as an underground information broker as well .
An information broker wouldn't involve themselves in conflict easily, they were much more skilled in talking to earn money .
Kieran believed Donna Bar's female owner would easily sell him out if he'd been there but her making a move against him directly would have a slimmer chance .
So, what did that fake Gannett want?
Kieran couldn't help but frown as he was lost in his thoughts .
Even after getting the intel on Donna Bar and Ximi Candy House, the doubts in his heart weren't removed, instead, they became more and more clouded .
He felt like he was wandering through a labyrinth . With every new path before him, the higher his chances of being lost within .
"Then let us wait and see!"
Kieran suddenly made up his mind and revealed a cold grin on his face .
He had planned to pay a visit to Donna Bar and Ximi Candy house . Regardless of what the fake Gannett had planned, he would get his answers there .
But not at the moment . He needed much rest to regain his strength .
Anne Aldrich Augen didn't think as such . The manor's female owner came down from the desk and went up to Kieran's face .
"I've given you what you want, so is it time for you to keep your side of the deal?" Anne Aldrich Augen asked .
"What do you want?" Kieran replied with his question . He didn't mention the zipper incident from before as it was just a joke . A lousy joke from Anne Aldrich Augen which wasn't her request at all .
Both of them knew it perfectly in their heart .
"Tonight, we…"
Anne Aldrich Augen purposely prolonged her tone .
"You requests have been limited to a certain range!" Kieran reminded her .
"I finally know why you and Mayer could get along so well, both of you are so dull and block-headed… Or do you both share feelings for each other?"
Anne Aldrich Augen crossed her arms over her chest, looking upset after being interrupted .
Instantly, her chest shook in a breathtaking manner .
Right after that, a heavy breathing sound echoed within the study room .
Anne Aldrich Augen was stunned instantly as the breathing did not come from Kieran .
