Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Chapter 44 Suburban Villa

Even in late September, the sun still scorched the earth relentlessly.

The asphalt road surface was softened by the sun, and the heat gathered on the road surface into layers of transparent heat waves. Two figures, one big and one small, walked on this asphalt road that seemed to have no end.

This is a villa area in the southwestern suburbs. The wealthy people living here have to pay an astronomical amount of money every year for the maintenance of the security barrier in order to enjoy this secluded living environment. As for the supporting facilities of the villas, there is no need to say more.

According to the intelligence provided by the Tribunal, that was a stronghold of the Black Vatican.

"Lingling, are you sure we're almost there?" He An asked the little girl, gazing at the endless grasslands around them.

Lingling has been leading him around in circles here for over an hour.

"That's how it's marked on the map. We're almost there this time." Lingling, wearing a beige sun hat and carrying a small backpack, answered impatiently, fiddling with the map in her hand.

It's strange, even though the navigation has no signal, I've never been bad at directions!

Why can't I find my way around today?

Just as I was getting annoyed, the roar of an engine came from afar.

An orange sedan cut through the heatwave and came to a steady stop beside He An.

The car window rolled down, and a delicate face wearing orange sunglasses leaned out. Long, wavy brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her fair and voluptuous figure even more dazzling under the blazing sun.

The busty beauty rested one hand on the edge of the car window, casually smoothing her hair with the other. Her gaze swept over He An and Lingling, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.

"Handsome young man, are you and your sister also here to listen to Master Lu's lecture?" she asked with a smile.

"Yes, we've explored all the interesting places in the city. We heard that a master named Lu is giving a lecture here, so we thought we'd come and sit in on it." He An and Lingling exchanged a glance and answered calmly.

"Brother, how much longer until we get there? I want ice cream!" Lingling put on a pitiful look, as if she was about to die from the heat, to gain sympathy.

"I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon," He An said, bending down and patting her little sun hat.

Hearing their conversation, the busty beauty burst out laughing.

"Don't you guys prepare anything before you go out? It's still dozens of kilometers away from where Master Lu is giving his lecture! Carrying such a little girl and walking all that way, it'll probably be almost over by the time the lecture is finished, let alone tonight!"

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed, gave a look that said, "I really can't do anything with you guys," and waved at her car: "What can I do? I'm kind-hearted. Get in, I'll take you there."

Lingling's eyes lit up, a sweet smile immediately spreading across her face, and her voice became even softer and more charming: "Really? Thank you, sister!"

"It's your sister who should thank you." The busty beauty looked at He An, who had both top-notch looks and figure, and gently pinched Lingling's little face with two fingers.

Once seated in the back, Lingling immediately changed her expression, reverting to her usual sullen demeanor. She angrily pulled a wet wipe from her small backpack and vigorously wiped her cheeks, which had been pinched by the busty beauty, as if there was something dirty on them.

The car smoothly drove onto the road, and the grass on both sides rushed past.

The woman gripped the steering wheel with one hand, her posture languid and casual. Glancing at He An's face through the rearview mirror, she parted her red lips slightly and introduced herself, "My name is Yu Yun, the eldest daughter of the Yu family. I forgot to ask earlier, did your car break down?"

"My name is Mo Fan, and this is my sister Mo Ling. We came from the ancient capital for tourism. We explored the whole city and were planning to come to the suburbs to enjoy the natural scenery and listen to Master Lu's lecture. However, we suddenly got a flat tire halfway there, and there was no phone signal, so we had to keep going to find help," He An replied with a helpless expression.

"I see. Master Lu's lectures usually start after 8 p.m. My house is a villa nearby. Usually, no one comes here except for some cleaning staff who come regularly to clean it. If you two don't mind, you can stay in my villa for one night," Yu Yun said with a smile, covering her mouth.

"Thank you so much, Miss Yu. My brother and I were just wondering what to do." He An immediately smiled gratefully and gently patted Lingling beside him.

"Thank you, sister." Lingling rolled her eyes and reluctantly thanked Yu Yun in a high-pitched voice.

She seriously doubted whether the two of them would even make it to the Black Vatican's stronghold alive, given the woman's dangerous driving behavior.

Yu Yun had no idea what Lingling was thinking. She just smiled faintly. She felt that after tonight, she would have to change how she addressed this little girl.

Yu Yun's dangerous driving behavior was clearly not limited to not looking at the road while driving; this woman's speeding was also exceptional.

She managed to compress a journey of tens of kilometers into a mere ten minutes.

The orange sedan finally slowed down and gently drove into a private driveway.

The car door opened, and Yu Yun jumped out first, her black high heels making a crisp sound on the gravel ground.

"We're here, this is it." She took off her orange sunglasses, revealing a delicate face, and opened the car door for Lingling, her tone light and cheerful: "How was it? My driving skills are pretty good, right?"

Lingling jumped off the back seat, clutching her little backpack. She glanced at the black high heels on her feet and said insincerely in an admiring tone, "Sister, you're so amazing! It was like a rollercoaster ride!"

Lingling looked at the surrounding buildings, pointed to a magnificent building in the center of the villa area, and said, "Sister, that building is so beautiful! Can we go play there?"

Yu Yun, still in a good mood, looked at the magnificent building Lingling was pointing to and said, "That building is the villa where Master Lu will give his speech tonight. It's almost time, let's go there right away."

Seeing Yu Yun go to take a shower and change into her evening gown, Lingling pulled He An to her side and whispered, "I investigated this woman on the way here. Her resume is clean, and she shouldn't be a member of the Black Vatican. If nothing unexpected happens, the Inquisition should already be lying in wait around. As long as we find evidence of the Black Vatican's activities in that villa, the Inquisition can make the arrests immediately."

Once inside the villa, follow my instructions and do not act on your own.

He An nodded as he listened to Lingling's arrangements, indicating that he understood.

"Remember to wear this." Lingling rummaged through her small backpack and pulled out a white miniature communicator, handing it to He An. "This is a communicator specially developed by the Inquisition for the Black Vatican. It can ensure real-time communication even when the Black Vatican interferes with our signals."
