Randy registered his name for the university entrance examination under the watchful and complicated gazes of everyone present in the instructor's office.
And then he left right away, but before he left, he proceeded to give Jeremiah a glance for a brief moment and as he walked past him, he mouthed 'thank you' in his direction.
Jeremiah appeared even more confused by his mouthed words as he was already shocked by Randy's sudden awakening.
'Why did he thank me? How did he even awaken his ability? I thought he could awaken since had already turned eighteen years old… Damn it! He is definitely going to take revenge! That look just now was not that of someone that was grateful but someone confident about something…'
He was currently in distress as he quickly thought these to himself.
After recalling what he and his goons did to him last week, Jeremiah was even more stressed while biting on his fingernail on the spot.
…
Randy walked the streets as he made his way home.
At this point, Randy suddenly felt that something was strange as he entered the residential area.
For some time now, there was a presence following his trail almost as if he was being followed, however, Randy could not see who was following him.
Randy scowled and his gaze became focused and then he continued to walk normally down the path he was taking without alerting the other party, and then when he reached an intersection, he randomly picked a path.
And very soon, after making some random turns, and taking more random paths, he then entered a path between two buildings.
…
At this moment, a figure's appearance suddenly manifested out of nowhere, showing the appearance of a man.
It seems like this man was the one who was following Randy ever since a while ago.
At this point, he suddenly slowed down his movement as he spoke to the communication ear gadget.
"Young Lord, I found the kid, yes, I am on his tail right now. He just entered an alley just now; I will keep following him." The figure reported to the one on the other side.
[Very well. Make sure to check whether that brat is someone from our Silvermoon family or just a simple awakener with a white hair trait due to their ability and confirm whether he really had claws.] The one on the other side said in a commanding tone.
"Understood, Young Lord. I will not let you down." The figure solemnly replied in a respectful tone.
[Hm. I heard from Jack that your stealth and tracking abilities were amongst one of the best, so I expect great results from you.]
Saying so, the one on the other side then cut the connection to the communication gadget of the figure.
After that communication, the figure expression turned serious as he continued to follow the young man that entered the alley in long strides, afraid to miss him.
With that thought, he entered the alley a while later, however, after entering the alley he was instantly confused.
He did enter the same alley as the young man earlier, but he could not find any existence or a trace of anyone beside himself.
After pondering for a bit, he muttered: "Where did he go? I was so sure that he entered this place just now? Did I see wrong… No, he was definitely entered through here. Then what is going on? This place is also dead-end. Wait a second! There is no one here, despite this place being a dead-end? Unless he jumped up this building or maybe he was still he— Kukh!"
The man suddenly stopped talking as he clutched the region close to his neck due to a certain uncomfortable feeling that stem from his neck.
At this point, he could feel that something or someone had wrapped around his neck so tightly and it was hard to get them off despite his effort.
'Damn it! What is going? Was someone here, after all, Kukh! I can't seem to break, oh no, I am gradually losing my consciousness… Kukh! Not enough air… I need air… W-Who is it… who is doing this…?'
The more he tries to break free, the more the thing around his neck keeps increasing the strength around his neck.
And at some point, he could not breathe anymore, causing him to struggle for air with his body shaking and was even scratching the thing around his neck.
Eventually, he stopped struggling altogether and soon fainted when he ran out of air to breathe.
His eyes rolled upwards to the back, revealing only the white of his eyes as he turned limp.
At this point, Randy suddenly manifested while holding onto the man by his neck, and then a moment later, they dropped him to the floor, making a 'thud' sound when he landed.
"Phew… he finally fainted, if he still had not fainted after all that, I would've been forced to kill him instead since he seemed to be a very strong person. Who was this guy anyway, and why was he following me? Was this someone sent by Jeremiah?''
Randy's expression turned cold when he thought of this, however after thinking about it some more, he immediately shook his head.
'No, that can't be right. School had just ended a while ago even if Jeremiah was meticulous, he couldn't have been the one behind this man in this short time. Then, is this perhaps…'
Randy thought of something and then muttered: "Could this be… was this someone sent by that Silvermoon family that the female police officer called Hong Mingyue mentioned in that message that she sent to me along with the reward for catching that burglar?"
"Haah—"
'At any rate, I didn't think that just transforming briefly would be captured by the satellite and even catching some unwanted attention. What a headache!'
Randy sighed helplessly and then silently thought in dejection as he did not foresee this turn of events when he thought of robbing that burglar at that time.
