At last, Arthur and Lucy appeared in the Green-Leaf World via a spatial tunnel. The place they appeared at was none than the city ruled by the Kang Clan. It was still bustling with people and didn't seem to be affected too much by the catastrophe that occurred five years ago.

Arthur and Lucy didn't bother changing their appearances as it'll be futile against strong enemies, as for minor obstacles.... they shall be eradicated immediately.

As it is their first day, the couple didn't do anything special and merely toured the city and waited for night to fall so they can visit Kang Amidel.

Their tour bore fruits as Arthur managed to hear some news by eavesdropping or paying a few spirit stones to some informative beggars.

The hottest news were obviously about the young talents of the Green-Leaf world. They were focused mainly on three people, Jian Si also knows as Cold Sword, the Flame Crown Prince, and Shu Ru from the Mirage Era Hall. Those three managed to ascend to Godhood with first being the prince and the second was Jian Si.

The problematic kid who became his student, although he didn't help her much, he still gave her important notes that would be beneficial to any sword cultivator. However, it would be best to avoid her since Lucy is with him lest a fight breaks down.

'Does he think he's being secretive?'

Lucy used telepathy to talk to Arthur, who merely smiled and remained silent. Both of them had Dexterity that surpassed one billion points so if someone is tailing them then they're bound to discover him unless he or she is an entity that attained perfection in sneaking.

Time slowly passed and when the sun started to set, Arthur and Lucy happened to be strolling in the main road of the city where there's an abundance of vendors and shops.

As he was checking the displayed materials checking if there's something that could be useful to Makaze, Arthur's body instinctively trembled as if it recognized something.

This shocked him as it's the first time this happened to him. He suddenly turned around and appraised everyone around him but found nothing strange. Time seemed to stop as hi eye shifted from one person to another and at one point, it started pulsating with a blue light. No one escaped from [The All Seeing Eyes], no matter the disguise or the skill used, it shall be nullified by the power of his eye.

Finally, the source of distress was finally spotted. It was a tall woman with a bland face, the appraisal showed that she's at the Spirit Realm but his skill showed him otherwise.

The feeling he's getting from her is familiar, too familiar, in fact. His memories finally intersected with the presence of this woman and they showed him the first time and last time he met her.

It was in the Ma Clan, she appeared out of thin air and tried to kill him using some malicious and agonizing chains. If not for Zodiak's intervention, he would have been killed.

'Heh, it's indeed a small world.'

Arthur's gaze never left the woman, who seemed to disappear amidst the crowd but could still be seen through his eye. His body was replaced by an identical shadow clone which accompanied Lucy, who pretended that everything is okay as she knew he'll handle the situation, plus, her sense is locked into him and she's ready to join in if something goes wrong.

Using his high Mastery of Space Magic, Arthur followed the woman without being noticed. He kept a safe distance from her and followed her every move. She was a Fusion Sovereign and wasn't actually human but something totally different. Unknown energy was being released from her body but it was such a minimal quantity that it was barely noticeable. It had a pink color and was intoxicating, like perfume.

Minute after minute passed yet all the woman did was zigzag around the alleys without interacting with any person. Arthur even thought he was discovered but gave up on that idea soon after as the woman finally entered a famous inn.

She swiftly entered her room and sat cross-legged, clearly starting to meditate. Arthur, who actually was in the same as her right now, silently stared at her without taking any action.

Although it's better to just watch her actions and see what her purpose is, he is not someone to let his enemies live a second longer. Last time, she came to Astria and almost killed him so he concluded that leaving her act freely is dangerous.

She's an enemy that could be handled but that shouldn't mean she should be temporarily spared. As the saying goes 'a cornered rat will bite the cat'.

Arthur's eyes flashed with a cold light as he suddenly raised his hand, which was the moment the woman's fate was doomed. Just like what she did to him, countless chains suddenly sprang from the ground and wrapped around her body before she could even open her eyes or react.

In a split second, she found herself wrapped by jet black chains with only her head still intact. Through his eyes, Arthur could see that the pink energy released from her body became denser but it couldn't destroy the resistant chains as they were something the Tri-Spirit made.

Basically, he controlled the chains which the Tri-Spirit made. Vice-versa, the spirit can control things that he creates but on the condition that they are either Earth, Dark, or death-related.

The woman, who was shocked and dumbstruck by the sudden turn of events, looked around the room but saw nothing but empty air. She was still confused by what just happened. She initially thought she had been discovered by Kang Amidel but that was rather unlikely.

Even if she discovered, the city governor wouldn't resort to chaining her like this as he knew her origins and he knew how to act.

Arthur decided not to show himself, he waved his hand, teleporting himself and the woman out of the city.

........

In a long and secluded alley, Lucy stood at its center while maintaining a long silence before coldly saying

"I really hate being tailed, you either show yourself or I'll personally come to you."

Her tone was indifferent like always but it contained a hint of anger. She was met with no answer even after warning him so when she finally was about to act, a gentle and soothing voice resonated across the alley.

"No need to be so aggressive, Miss Lucy. You and Sir Arthur are my treasured guests."

In response to his words, Lucy scoffed and retorted

"So you usually tail your 'treasured guests'?"
