Chapter 418: 418
Hey Guys, Aidka's Here!
I have been very productive this week, posting a total of 23 chapters and almost 27000 words between Fourth Prince and Science/Magic. Thanks to that, currently I only owe 1 chapter of Science/Magic but still eight of Fourth Prince...
From tomorrow, I'll focus on posting the chapters I owe of Fourth Prince. According to my calculations, if I post two chapters daily of fourth prince, I'll finish paying the chapters I owe in two weeks... That is... No so hard.
So, wish me luck, and enjoy... Aidka.

Our first target was a twenty-year-old young man living in the slums.
According to the information that Alice collected, he was an orphan that worked as a serf. Without brothers or sisters, without a girlfriend, and with very few friends.
He was just one of the many unfortunate people living in the capital.
However, he had been infected by the Immortal's seeds.
Moreover, he had already been influenced by the seed. Alice suspected he was the culprit behind two murders.
I told that information to the girls and told them to be careful. Then, I knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, some hurried footsteps sounded inside the house and a slit opened the door.
"Y-Yes?" A skinny young man showed behind the door and stared at us with a wary gaze.
And his gaze turned warier when he noticed our battle-ready clothes and our weapons.
I put on a stern expression and spoke up.
"Mr. Abel, right? We are from the Imperial Institute and we are here in orders of the emperor. I'm sorry about this, but you need to come with us."
"W-What h-happened?" The skinny young man panicked and looked at us with a look of fear. "A-Am I i-in trouble?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Have you done anything to be in trouble?"
"N-No!" The skinny young man denied my words immediately.
"Then it's alright," I said. "We are just investigating a case, and we consider you can be of help. Please come with us, I assure you that nothing wrong will happen to you as long as you are not guilty of anything."
The guy fell silent for a few seconds, before nodding reluctantly.
"O-Okay… C-Can I go for some things first?"
"Of course." I nodded generously.
The guy sighed in relief. "Thank you. I'll be back soon." Then, he closed the door.
"Sigh, it looks like this guy has a guilty consciousness," I smiled wryly as soon as the guy left.
Katherine raised an eyebrow in confusion. Rose was just as confused as her.
"Is anything wrong with that guy?" Rose asked.
"Of course." I nodded "In fact, he should be trying to escape using the back door right now."
Rose and Katherine's expressions changed. Without hesitation, they kicked the ground and charged inside the house.
But after Rose entered the house, I stopped Katherine from entering.
Katherine was confused about my actions. I smiled and spoke up.
"This will be a good experience for Rose. So it's better if you don't interfere."
Although still confused, Katherine nodded.
A few seconds later, we heard a shout coming from the distance.
"You! Stop!"
It was from Rose. Apparently, she was chasing after the guy.
I smiled inwardly and grinned at Katherine.
"Let's go."
Rose chased after the skinny boy through several streets, trying to catch him.
With her cultivation, she should be able to catch him easily. But as an inhabitant of the slums, the guy was very clever and slippery. He used his familiarity with the alleys and several despicable tactics (like pushing children towards Rose) to keep a distance from her.
But even with that, he could not escape Rose for long.
"Stop!"
With another shout, Rose sent magic to her legs, increasing her speed several times in an instant.
