Chapter 242 Funny Coincidence


    ''''Looks like exhausting 70-80% of my origin power had a positive effect on my overall origin pool."


    It''s like when an athlete uses up his stamina before resting, then, the athlete would experience a slight increase in his stamina. This applied to Nemesis''s origin power training, other origin masters also experienced this effect. Except for those who hit their limits, this effect generally appears for anyone who did that.


    It''s amon knowledge among thel but not many if not a few would never experience the improvement Nemesis had, not even if they used their entire life to continuously exhaust and recharge themselves.


    Aside from the perks granted to her by her mixed bloodline between angel and demon, most importantly, it was just thepounding effect from her already humungous origin power reserve. It wasn''t easy to deplete her already huge origin pool. If she didn''t n properly, she would have recovered origin power faster than she could spend them.


    By being an oddity, a weird mixed breed, she got inhuman returns.


    ''Time to check my hunch, whether it''s right or wrong.''


    Looking at the huge city, Nemesis could sense the hustle and bustle of the city and she sighed.


    If that ck light is inside, how does she even begin to look for it?


    Shaking her head, she threw away the negative thoughts and Nemesis queued up like a normal citizen, gaining entry in a low-key manner.


    °°°°°


    The boundless blue sky, only the dull sunlight mingled with the endless blue aerial ocean. It looks like a great day to go out and have a walk, the temperature was just right so it''d be a great day for any jogger or pedestrians.


    The serene sky, the rowdy city, meanwhile, a seemingly average male walked through the busy streets without attracting anyone''s attention. The pedestrians were unaware that a major character was currently walking among them.


    She doesn''t look too beautiful or ugly. As she continued moving along the busy streets, she swept her gaze everywhere. It looked like she was a tourist taking in the scenery. However, she wasn''t focused on the environment, she was waiting for her body toe up with a response.


    Nemesis frowned while looking at the buildings around her. She silently cursed in frustration.


    "Where is that damned thing? Is it really in this city? Stop making this hard and just pop out already..."


    "The difort when my blood reacted and this uneasy calmness, why do I keep getting bombarded with annoying events..."


    Nemesis'' shoulder sagged as she scanned her surrounding once more. This time too, her blood didn''t react. She started grumbling again.


    "Ugh, when is this going to end..."


    She psyched herself up as he exhaled slowly. Moving onwards, she decided that giving up now would be worse than just following through with her pursuit to the end. She also wasn''t cool with letting the ck light go, that vibe it gave her, she needed to extinguish that ck light.


    Nemesis average looks allowed her to blend in well with the crowd.


    This average aura gave her the cover she needed to investigate the ck light''s trail. Any unwanted attention would hamper her investigation efforts.


    After stumbling around in the city for half an hour, Nemesis turned up nothing. When she was about to curse and go grab something to eat, he noticed amotion in front of him.


    Looking in that direction, she saw pedestrians running for their lives as if they just saw something terrifying.


    She felt curious when she saw this, she exerted some strength in her legs and she zipped into the dispersing crowd without anyone being the wiser.


    She used the guise of a puzzled pedestrian to keep unwanted attention away.


    Soon, the crowd was parted to the sides, squeezing each other for space while a squad of knights in luxurious armor marched by. They were well-trained and organized as can be seen from their footsteps.


    The crowd looked on with admiration and awe when the knight squad marched by. Looks like the pedestrians are impressed by the knight''s capability to handle everyone''s re and attention.


    Nemesis who hid among the pedestrians mused to herself.


    "Hmm, such a grand disy, looks like these knights are from a respectable background..."


    "Huh?"


    The closest citizen heard Nemesis and he showed her a weird look. He raised an eyebrow at the strange words this stranger uttered.


    "You don''t know who they are?"


    Nemesis blinked in surprise. He looked at this temte citizen guy and he wasn''t sure if he should continue talking to the guy or not. Nemesis''s awkward response was taken to be an act where she wanted to avoid being seen as an ignorant buffoon, a country bumpkin.


    "Alright, big brother, may I know where this knight squad came from? They look pretty cool."


    "Haha, you came to the right person."


    The stranger coughed as he confidently continued to exin.


    Nemesis resisted the urge to punch the guy.


    "That''s the Cyto Family''s knight squad..."


    "Harh?"


    She gasped.


    "The Cyto family?"


    "No way..."


    The stranger flinched.


    "You don''t even know this is the town where the Cyto Family operates in?"


    "You''re telling me this is their hometown?"


    Nemesis was speechless.


    After killing Marcus, the second in charge of the Camus Family, she chased the ck light all the way to Camus family''s hometown.


    Talk about fate and coincidences.


    "I see, so that''s why they are walking around with heads held high..."


    Nemesis chuckled.


    "With the second most influential noble family behind them, I can understand why they are so cocky..."


    "Please, they don''t deserve the attention they are getting..."


    The guy pursed his lips in disdain.


    "So what if they are the second most influential noble power in all of empire, they still ate dust and came back dishonored."


    "Oh?"


    Nemesis asked with intrigue.


    "What happened?"


    "My little sister, it seems you have much to learn..."


    The stranger wasn''t aware that a level 4 origin master called him Big brother just a few minutes ago. If he did, he would probably be over cloud nine in happiness.


    "You think they are here to show off? No, they came back as reinforcements!"


    Nemesis flinched.


    "Reinforcements? Did something happen in the Camus family?"


    "Yeah, and it''s huge..."


    The stranger looked around warily as if he didn''t want anyone to listen in on them. He furtively told Nemesis.


    "Apparently, there''s a ghost haunting the Camus family!"


    "Ghost haunting?"


    This was getting interesting.
