Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 810: 256. Optional Betrayal_3

“`

“Conducting unauthorized observation and recording of the experiment, as well as detecting experimental props, without the permission of the experiment host, is a serious criminal offense in violation of the law. If it turns out that Marslank indeed acted on the instructions from your second brother to pry into our experimental results, I hope you will not obstruct my law enforcement actions,”

“I know…” Selena said, becoming noticeably distressed, “I’m sorry, I didn’t anticipate that Sidney would go to such an extreme.”

“Selena, let me be frank. Sidney Pomida has done more than just this one overstepping action. Do you think I can’t guess that it was Sidney Pomida who acted as a go-between for you and Dickler Fegan? If he hadn’t manipulated things, would you have offered yourself to Dickler Fegan, all for the sake of a Ten Rings-level meditation technique?”

Selena fell silent, obviously struck by Noland’s words.

Noland had no intent to use words to wound, he simply wanted to remind Selena that, from an outsider’s perspective, her older brother Sidney Pomida clearly prioritized interests above all.

After further contemplation.

The Pomida Family’s mastermind was Selena’s father, Mingwaq Pomida.

Without Mingwaq’s permission, how could Sidney have played matchmaker for Selena and Dickler Fegan?

This was a major matter related to a union between two families.

Therefore, Mingwaq Pomida was no kinder or gentler.

These things, Noland wouldn’t say to Selena.

He moderated his tone and said:

“First, call Marslank to your study. I want to meet him.

“To be honest, I’d prefer him to be a Tide Spy rather than a Deep-sea Wizard with connections to Sidney Pomida. Family ties can inevitably complicate matters.”

“…Yes, I understand, Jarvis. I’ll call Marslank right away,” Selena replied.

Noland took the Core Circle’s public vehicle to head for her study.

Halfway there, using ‘Soul Perception’, Selena relayed some unwelcome news to Noland:

“Jarvis, Marslank is missing.”

Noland pressed a button on the public vehicle’s control console, bringing the craft to a hover in mid-air:

“Missing?”

“Yes, he skipped class today and did not appear in the lecture hall. His classmates and mentor say they haven’t seen him today.”

After some thought, Noland replied:

“Tell me the whereabouts of Marslank’s mentor and Sidney Pomida.”
