Chapter 177 - "Another Round Of Bluffing"
Ainsley let out a sigh, not knowing that Alvaro's eyes never left her, even when he talked to Grandpa Yofan.
As an otherworldly summoner, even when he couldn't summon souls from another world, he had a sensitive intuition toward those from another world, and…
Looking at Ainsley at such a close distance, he kept having these strange feelings…
The quiet man furrowed his eyebrows and silently planned to stay around Ainsley to satisfy these strange feelings in his heart. He was sure that the baby in front of him hid many interesting things.
"Alright, Alvaro, you can go back. Next, the fourth member!" The ignorant Grandpa Yofan didn't know anything about Alvaro and Ainsley's thoughts. The old man casually asked the fourth member to step up while Alvaro went back to his line.
This time, the one stepping up was a short, wild 'boy' with a blinding light blue colour and golden eyes resembling a dragon or something.
"Yo, I'm Ethan! 16! Abilities? Weaponry control. Can control any weapon. Another ability...I can create explosions, and I can fly. The end." Ethania put her hands on her waist, posing as a cool boy or something.
Her appearance and voice were really like a boy until Ainsley and Grandpa Yofan thought that she's a boy...if she didn't tell them that she's 16.
16? She looked like she's 10! She's just a bit taller than Fin.
Ainsley and Grandpa Yofan, who didn't know Ethania's real name and gender, quietly accepted her self introduction since her abilities were also cool, especially the OP weapon control.
"Okay, Ethan, thanks for your introduction. Next? The last member." Grandpa Yofan quickly let Ethania go back to her line, afraid that she would also make a mess as her previous friends did.
Thankfully, the tomboy girl didn't say much and quietly went back to her line while the youngster member, Nouvan, stepped up.
"Good day, supreme elder, the family head, and Lady Elliana." Nouvan bowed politely, and his long silver hair fluttered in the air, dazzling the crowd.
Once he lifted his head, a young, childish face came into view, with his unique mismatch red-blue eyes becoming the focus.
"I'm Nouvan, 15 years old. My abilities are ice manipulation, fire manipulation, healing, and lastly, barrier." Nouvan flashed an innocent smile as he straightened his back. His white cloak swayed as he did so.
"Nice to meet you, young miss." The young man ended his introduction with another sweet smile akin to warm summer sunshine. Alas, the group was already distracted by what he said before.
Ice and fire manipulation? Healing ability and barrier control?
Ainsley felt her mind spinning around. Even the arrogant Godfather couldn't help but open his mouth.
[This lord will make an exception for that beautiful boy. He has four abilities, and all of them are good! Especially his healing ability. That's a top-ranked rare ability among ability users.]
The Godfather blabbered so much to the point of spitting saliva, drying his mouth real quick.
For someone who said not to include a man in Ainsley's circle, he changed his attitude as easily as turning one's palm.
[Uh, yeah, Nouvan, huh. I agree with you, uncle Godfather. I need someone like him in our circle.] Ainsley nodded.
[Ah, and that boy earlier, Ethan, he's also good.] Ainsley mistook Ethania as a boy and praised the girl to the moon.
After all, Nouvan and Ethania's powers were all rare. Healing ability was an ability that all big families wanted to covet, while absolute weapon control was a godsend in time for war!
She would be a good help in a territorial war if she could control the enemies' weapons too.
[That's it. You try to persuade that beautiful woman and the two boys to be your subordinate. The other two men, forget them.]
The Godfather made a quick decision to help Ainsley.
Even if Alvaro also had a rare ability which was the otherworldly summoner, somehow, the Godfather didn't like him.
Not to mention Jevon, who had an OP monster tamer ability just like the second son of the Aretha Family. The Godfather didn't bat an eyelid at such a talented youngster.
He didn't need someone more handsome or as handsome as him!
Not knowing the Godfather's bias, Ainsley also chose to covet the three people as her first priority. At least, she had to get Nouvan and Marietta on her side.
While the baby and the spirit was discussing these youngsters as if they were cabbage at the market, Grandpa Yofan coughed.
"Alright, that's the end of the introduction session. Next, our family head...has something to say to you guys."
Grandpa Yofan looked at Ainsley and gestured to her to start speaking.
Of course, he didn't think that the baby would be the one talking. It must be the Godfather spirit contracted to her that would help her to talk.
Knowing this fact, Ainsley immediately straightened her back and slowly emitted a golden aura, a sign of 'being possessed by a spirit when in fact, she only used her luck ability.
"Mmm. Good work, oldie." Ainsley's bearing suddenly changed in a blink of an eye. Her voice became colder, and her cute pronunciation turned as clear as her blue eyes.
Lifting her chin high and crossing her legs, the baby instantly became someone so arrogant that even Jevon couldn't compete with her.
When the five buds saw this change, they instantly held their breath.
This is it! The possession! The family head truly is a shaman!
The five buds could see the golden aura around Ainsley even more clearly than before.
Knowing that the one inside the baby was none other than the fearsome Godfather, they didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Well, well, it's time for another round of bluffing!
