Chapter 716: Chapter 234: You Teleport Me Here, Can I Refuse?_3

    However, this is not something you can learn if you simply want to.


    It also depends on an individual’s talent, and the Demon Mark and career planning they choose for the future.


    Leonard Churchill didn’t rush to answer. He glanced at Pigeon and thought about some things Barre Shepherd, the former mentor, had taught him.


    He picked up an empty silver teapot and then flicked it with his finger.


    After a clear ringing sound, the teapot began to emit a faint, continuous hum.


    Leonard casually asked, “What did you see?”


    “Huh?”


    Pigeon clearly didn’t understand why Leonard was asking this question.


    But he smartly guessed that this gentleman was testing him, similar to how his father had often quizzed him on medical knowledge.


    As if afraid of giving the wrong answer, he stammered, “I... I saw you tap the kettle.”


    Leonard smiled, encouraging him, “What else?”


    Bolstered by the encouragement, Pigeon mustered up the courage to describe everything he saw, “I saw the jar vibrating. Uh... The air was vibrating, too. The dust in the air was moving with the ripples, like waves, rippling and undulating. Oh, and the sound! I heard the sound of the vibration, as if tiny, tiny ripples were hitting my ears. And my... the hairs on my arms, even my heart seemed to vibrate...”


    “???”


    Upon hearing this, Leonard stopped eating and asked in return, “Has someone taught you this before?”


    Pigeon, thinking he had said something wrong, timidly shook his head.


    “...”


    Leonard’s expression immediately turned bizarre.


    Initially, he thought the boy was just very observant.


    But after listening, he realized it was more than that.


    It was an acute perception of the patterns of energy and force transmission.


    If there was no deliberate training, then it was a highly sensitive awareness of “Air” and “waves.”


    In other words, a talent!


    Wasn’t this the kind of Martial Arts genius Barre Shepherd had talked about?


    Although Vera didn’t believe the person inside had any ill intentions toward her, it was always better to be cautious.


    The pair approached the room.


    But just then, Pigeon’s voice calling out “Mr. Sunny...” reached their ears.


    “Ah...”


    Vera stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by lightning.


    She thought she had misheard and stopped to listen more intently on the spot, only to find that the child inside was indeed saying “Mr. Sunny”!


    “This...”


    After confirming she hadn’t misheard, Vera also felt disbelief.


    Could it be... her pen pal?


    Impossible, right?


    Although she had hoped for a meeting.


    But how could Mr. Sunny be here, in the remote Bolton Town in the western part of the Federation?


    And, her letter hadn’t even been mailed out yet.


    Even if it had been sent, it was only written this morning; how could the person have arrived so quickly?


    After a flurry of complex thoughts, the intense anticipation in Vera’s heart was instantly extinguished: Certainly, it couldn’t be him. If it was Mr. Sunny, he would surely be in another place.


    But, with such a peculiar name, how could there be someone else with the same name?


    At this thought, Vera calmed down again.


    At that moment, the guard knocked on the door.


    Vera spoke gently through the door, “Sir.”


    ...


    Leonard had been aware from the beginning that there were two people standing outside the door.


    Though he was in a state of extreme weakness, his hearing and sense of smell were still sharp.


    Even from the footsteps, he had deduced that the visitors were a young girl and a composed Close Combat Card Master.


    Inside the Rose Chamber of Commerce, the only ones that fit the bill were Chairman Williams and the Second Tier Security Squad Leader.
