Magician Online

"Looks like you're new to London," Anna said as she looked at him.

Aldric did not expect her to have such an accurate guess about him.

He could not help but ask, "how do you know, Lady Anna? I am indeed new to this city. I came from a remote village to study."

"Ohh..." Anna looked surprised to hear him say he was from a remote village.

Her eyes scanned him again, more thoroughly this time, from the tip of his head to his toes.

"While you definitely don't look like you're from London, you don't look like you're from a village either," he said, laughing softly.

"Why do I look like I'm not from London?" asked Aldric, curious.

"I have my own way of estimating. I can even see it in your gaze. Anyone who has been in London for a long time has their own characteristics that show up on them." Anna explained.

"By the way, how long have you been playing Magician Online?" She then asked, changing the topic.

Her face was still always smiling, making him feel a sense of friendliness from her.

Only, his mind was instantly made wary about this.

He wondered if she had a specific reason for asking about that.

What he was worried about was that she had suspicions of him.

"Long enough!" He finally answered with a lie.

If he answered truthfully, the woman would probably become even more suspicious because he had only played for one day yet could already become a Senior Magician.

Such a player definitely had too much luck and was difficult to deal with.

He didn't want to be suspected like that by Anna. It was better if she thought he was just an average player who improved little by little.

The biggest mistake he had made was buying the ark from her, which showed how much wealth he had, especially when he bought the ark as if he didn't care about money.

If he knew she might be from the Dortmund Family, he wouldn't have done that.

At this moment, he pretended to look at his cell phone.

What he did was send a message to Jenny.

(Who is Lady Anna, is she a member of the Dortmund Family? She is also a member of the West Gate Merchant Alliance.)

Although it was suspected that Anna was from the Dortmund Family, it wasn't completely certain, which was why Aldric asked.

He should have asked Jenny about it last night, but their conversation always went nowhere so he forgot.

(Is it the lady with red brown hair? No, she's not from the Dortmund Family!) Jenny's reply came very quickly when he was the one texting her.

Aldric's eyes blinked twice at that.

Right after that, there was another message from Jenny.

(Her full name is Anna Anderson, she is a very wealthy individual, a woman who successfully took the business she inherited from her father to a new level. You can search her name on the internet. Although she is also a member of the West Gate Merchant Alliance, she has no connection with them other than some business cooperation.

Why are you asking about her, don't tell me you got into trouble with her?)

"What are you looking at? Is it a message from your girlfriend?" Anna suddenly asked Aldric as he finished reading the second message from Jenny.

"Emmm..." He became awkward at the suspicion that it was from his girlfriend.

"No, no, just a friend from the village," Aldric replied.

Jenny was indeed a friend from the village, so he wasn't lying at all.

"Is that so?" asked Anna suspiciously.

"Yeahh..." Aldric was starting to be able to show a relaxed attitude since Anna was no longer making him so tense although it still could not be confirmed that he really did not side with the Dortmund Family since they were still connected through business cooperation.

However, as long as she was not part of the Dortmund Family, she should not try to investigate this too seriously unless she had an obsession with being Ramsey's granddaughter.

(Aldric, what happened? Where are you?)

Jenny sent another message, looking like she was really worried.

Aldric had no choice but to reply.

(I'm at the university. Don't worry, there's no problem whatsoever.)

(Then I'll go to your university to meet you, wait there!)

"..."

"Lady Anna, I will leave now, my friend is looking for me," Aldric said as he stood up and showed her the latest message from Jenny with his finger over her name and profile picture.

At least he would rather be with Jenny than have to be with this middle-aged woman who could be very deceitful.

Anna nodded to him with a smile, not objecting to him leaving.

However, as he took a step, she suddenly said, "William isn't your real name, right? So, what's your real name?"

Aldric wanted to pat his forehead because she could also guess that.

As he suspected, she was indeed very dangerous.

"My real name is Aldric," he replied.

He would rather say that than make her curious so she took the initiative to investigate.

"I see, by the way, keep this. Call me if you need help!" Suddenly the woman handed him a business card.

It was not like an ordinary business card, made of golden metal.

Aldric saw the name Anna Anderson with a job as CEO of PrimeLink Company.

"Lady Anna, you?" Aldric was too astonished.

A woman of her status would obviously only give her business card to very important individuals. How could a student from the village like him also receive one.

Yet, she was the one who gave it to him.

What was her reason?

Aldric could not believe she had such bad intentions as the women who looked at him with lust.

Anna smiled at his reaction.

"Do not underestimate yourself," she said. "If you're confused, I'll just say that anyone with power in Magician Online is worthy of a friend."

After saying that, she slipped the business card into his fingers.

Aldric felt speechless.

Thinking that it would not be good if he refused, so he finally nodded while saying, "thank you, Lady Anna!"

He stepped away after that.

Every time he glanced back, he saw that she was still staring at him.

Even the bodyguard beside her was made very confused by everything she was doing right now.
