The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 507: Hidden Facts of the Hester Family

The Hester Familyʼs mansion is spacious, way bigger than Rexʼs mansion.

From roughly seeing the big pond with many beautiful and sparkling mutated fishes with a fountain in the middle, a field of cultivated lush green grass with decorative trees here and there, and even the patch of land that is used by some Awakened guards to train.

Kyran finds that this place is at least 5 acres, pretty big for even a mansion sector 2 mansions.

It was more like a power display showing the influential people living in the mansion, the Hester Family is ranked second in the 25 Golden Crest so their image is very important for their family.

Although itʼs quite big, the mansion is not far from the main street.

The marvelous and beautiful sight that distracted him is not what he came here for, Kyran refocuses back onto his objective and saw that the car went to a house that turns out to be a garage with many cars inside. Itʼs a building right next to the mansion.

While following the cars, Kyranʼs attention suddenly got attracted to the side.

There are three maids that are approaching the garage, three of them grab the suitcases given by the driver which should belong to lady Lauren, ʼWhatʼs in that bag...?ʼ, Kyran thought. He saw three suitcases and one of them is radiating with powerful energy.

ʼI saw a bag, inside must be something powerful. The energy is so thick...ʼ

Kyran instantly got his attention to the middle suitcases brought by a blonde maid.

Despite them being maids, the blonde maid should be a fourth or even fifth rank Awakened judging from her elemental aura oozing out of her body. Itʼs ridiculous to think that a fifth rank Awakened works as a maid to cook stuff.

But then again, this is the second-rank family that heʼs talking about. Theyʼre free to do whatever.

Nodding his head, Kyran then follows the three maids. He finally saw a back door that leads into the mansion. With his agile footsteps, he manage to enter the mansion just when the last maid to enter was about to close the door on him.

ʼIʼm in... Iʼll do as you sayʼ

After slipping past through that back door, what greeted him is the back kitchen with at least six maids cooking and preparing food. Probably for the welcoming back of lady Lauren.

Without wasting more time examining the place, Kyran follows the maid with the suitcase.

The blonde maid holds the suitcase with both of her hands while going to the second floor. Although from the outside it looks like a modern-oriented mansion, the second floor is mainly made of hardwood. But it doesnʼt make the inside look bad.

Itʼs clear that the second floor is maintained well by the maids, thereʼs not a speck of dust here.

Kyran follows the blonde maid from the back as his footsteps donʼt make any sound covered with darkness, even if he doesnʼt use his element the carpet would muffle his footsteps perfectly.

Along the hallway, he saw many paintings of the Hester Family core members.

But while following the blonde maid on this long hallway that seems to be an unending one, Kyran started to notice something that is odd about the second floor, ʼWhy are there many musical instruments here... and all of them seem to be used frequentlyʼ

Musical instruments start from a fancy yet elegant piano in an open room on the side, different types of guitars, golden spotted flutes, and even a silver string harp can be seen along the hallway.

For an Awakened, pursuing arts is not something that many are interested in.

In fact, the beautiful long lasting arts of playing musical instruments have been on a downward trend ever since the Supernatural Emergence, every aspect of humanity turned towards the military and Awakened to win their war against the Supernatural.

Something like learning musical instruments tends to be looked down upon by people.

That is why seeing many musical instruments tidied and looked frequently used from the scent, fingerprints, and even eroded edges is something Kyran thought weird to find. Especially since this is the second-ranked Family of the 25 Golden Crest.

But soon Kyran heard a subtle sound of musical instrument being played in the far distance,

It was a beautiful and ear-pleasing music sound that even Kyran canʼt help but feel at ease, something that can only be produced from years of experience playing that particular musical instrument. Whoever is the one playing it, he or she should be an expert.

Looking around to find the source of the music sound, Kyranʼs eyes landed on the door.

The door is ceiling high and the ceiling is at least 30 feet high so itʼs quite tall, and the musical sound becomes even more evident the closer he gets to the door, ʼProbably just a nobodyʼ

ʼWell, I donʼt feel any mana coming from this door. So whoever it is shouldnʼt be an Awakenedʼ

ʼAlright, after checking the suitcase Iʼll check this personʼ

Kyran follows the blonde maid that keeps on walking past the door where the music originated from, but as soon as he directly stepped in front of the door, ”Rrggh..!!”

Once again, a heavy flow of pain waved through his mind like a raging torrent.

But unlike the last time when heʼs still in the front yard of the mansion, this one is way more powerful and not only does this manage to put Kyran on his knees but his control over mana got disturbed making his presence blinking unable to merge fully with the shadow.

”Hmmm...?”, the maid looks back hearing the subtle groaning sound.

Although the groaning sound from Kyran is overwhelmed by the musical sound coming from the door beside them, the blonde maid still caught it. When she turned around, she frowns.

In front of her lies a blinking shadow the shape of a human.

Upon seeing that this is happening clearly on a plain day, the blonde maid was about to jump away in an alert but her eyes suddenly glows with a grey light. Her body loosen back up from her fighting stance before she turns around and started walking again.

Kyran also feels the pain decreasing once again before it finally vanishes completely.

ʼJust what the hell is wrong with this mansion, this random mind attack from the formation comes and goes weirdlyʼ, he thought inside his head, but seeing the blonde maid enters the room at the far end he quickly stood up and follows after her.

Meanwhile, in the dining room of the mansion.

Lady Lauren is sitting at the end of the long table with no one around aside from two guards that are standing on the side, there is a levitating staff on her side that exclude power energy. She opened her eyes slowly as her eyes flickered with grey lights, she then leans back on the chair.

Curling her index finger towards her, lady Lauren signals for one of the guards.

”What do you need, my lady?”, one of the guards approached her with wide strides and slightly leaned toward her politely.

While briefly thinking for a while, Lady Lauren then glances her beautiful grey eyes towards the guard leaning into her before she said softly, ”Tell Rebecca to deactivate the protection on the second floor, donʼt exclude anything on the second floor”

”My lady... what about William?”, the guard asks with a polite tone.

”William...?”, lady Lauren mutters while putting her index finger on her chin in thought, and soon she waves her hand and continues, ”Thereʼs no need to worry, let him know. Itʼs going to fasten our contact anyway”

Back to Kyran,

Kyran stands on the side of the room as he watches the blonde maid lay the suitcase on a waist-length wooden pillar, thereʼs a hook on the pillar that keeps the suitcase standing.

Upon the blonde maid leaving and closing the door, he then came out from the darkness.

ʼI think Iʼm inside a garage room where they kept items for Awakened, none of them really catches my eyes. Elemental stones, battle equipment, and some other elixirs that are probably not as good as the ones you haveʼ

ʼAlright, Iʼm just going to check the item in the suitcase before the person earlierʼ

After thinking to himself, Kyran walks closer to the suitcase that is brimming with an energy unlike the other items inside the room. Using his hands, Kyran slowly reaches for the suitcase. With a clicking sound, the lock of the suitcase opened easily.

Kyran opens the suitcase before he looks at the item inside of it in confusion.

What lies in front of him is somekind of statue made of glassy unknown materials that are grey in color, just like the color of cement but glassy instead of hard. The statue is shaped like a mirror.

More like an antique dressing mirror rather than a modern mirror that is circular in shape.

The edges of the mirror are made with bronze-like materials and are shaped like serpents intertwining with each other, almost like tree roots. But on top of the mirror is a face of a woman, and the energy radiating from the mirror statue is a powerful one.

ʼItʼs a mirror statue, but I donʼt know what itʼs forʼ, Kyran thought to himself.

But his eyes soon widen realizing what this mirror statue is, ʼSo youʼre saying that this is the item you searched for before? Why would they search for the item, and who told them this?ʼ

ʼMake sense...ʼ

After knowing the item inside the suitcase, Kyran turns around and leaves the room.

Since his objective here is to find as much information as he can about the Hester Family, he canʼt leave the mansion yet as he still hasnʼt checked the person behind the door that is playing a musical instrument. It should be one of Lady Laurenʼs children, but they should both be Awakened.

For them to have such a hobby is a waste of talent at this time, Lady Lauren wouldnʼt allow that.

Upon reaching the door that is still ringing with the beautiful sound of a musical instrument being played, Kyran activate his dark element slightly before his body got engulfed and went through the gap in the door silently.

Just like that, Kyran manages to infiltrate the room silently without alerting anybody.

Looking around the room, he quickly realizes that he was in a bedroom. So without a doubt, the person inside this room should be one of Lady Laurenʼs children. Either William or Sienna, but itʼs hard to judge the room itself since it can be either owned by a girl or a boy.

Walking around the spacious bedroom, Kyran saw that there was a terrace opposite the bed.

The window doors of the terrace are opened wide giving the relief of the sunlight to the skin, Kyran stepped onto the terrace before his eyes landed on a man playing the violin under the sunlight. Chanting beautiful notes that is pleasing to hear.

He has the same dark grey hair as Lady Lauren, and even inherit some of her features.

Out of all the features this man has similar to Lady Lauren, the one that is most evident aside from the dark grey hair is his eyebrows that are tapering almost better than a girl would have even.

It gives him a womanly aura, especially from the addition of his delicate face which is puffy and silky smooth.

ʼThat must be William...ʼ, Kyran thought inside his head.

Although the womanly features William has that he inherited from his beautiful mother who looks fresh and young despite being in her forties, his wide frame evidently shows that heʼs a guy. But enough of his features, Kyranʼs eyes widen sensing the aura coming from William.

Not that itʼs a powerful one, but he radiates the aura of a normal man.

There is no elemental aura, no abnormality, no nothing. William is completely normal.

Realizing that William is nothing but a normal person alone makes the interest in art make sense. Without needing time to cultivate and gets into a higher realm, William has every time in the world to pursue what he wanted.

But whatʼs weird is that William is rumored to be powerful.

Seeing William with his own eyes, Kyran can directly feel that heʼs not strong. Heʼs not even an Awakened, he can kill him right now if he wanted to without anyone able to stop him.

ʼHeʼs not an Awakened, and Iʼm sure of it...ʼ

ʼI know that heʼs rumored to be the next head family of the Hester Family, but heʼs clearly not. Lady Lauren probably hides this fact as it will be a problem if the other families know that she doesnʼt have the next head family in line, William is not an Awakened and Sienna is still a kidʼ

While looking at William, a smirk appears on Kyranʼs face, ʼWill this information suffice...?ʼ

ʼPersonally, I think this suffices because Lady Lauren will be hopeless if this news got out. If someone assassinates her in order to reach the top three ranked, then thereʼs no one that can take over the family...ʼ

After saying that, Kyran turns into a shadow before disappearing from the place.

Even when Kyran gazes at him and leaves the place, William didnʼt know anything at all thinking that itʼs the same day as any other day not knowing the fact someone just broke inside his room. Kyran crushes a crystal in his hand before he got teleported out.

Just in front of the mansion, Lady Lauren looks at the sky.

Her sparkling grey eyes are looking at the sky excitedly, she seems to be looking at the remnants of the crystal that Kyran has just crushed, ”Brave one indeed, heʼs definitely the one”

”Prepare the chosen squad for deployment, weʼre going to the Supernatural territory in these near days. Because unless I was mistaken, Rex Silverstar will ask to meet us...”
