Martin secretly glared at Jevon.

  What do you mean I'm an uncle? I'm 19! 19! But the original Martin did look like he's over 20……ah, he's around 20-ish, though.

  Martin's lips twitched as he nodded at Jevon. "Hahaha, I'm not that old, judge. You shouldn't call me an uncle…"

  While Martin was talking with Jevon, he secretly sensed that the illusion stone was already activated.

  Shringggg……

  Without anyone realising, there's a small ripple in the air, and the small venue with Martin and everyone else in the circle was already under an illusion.

  Even if someone else outside of the circle saw the group, the illusion barrier would also make the bystander fall into the illusion, definitely not going to reveal the reality happening inside the process.

  Martin secretly sighed in relief as he continued to humour Jevon.

  'Good, this is good, now I don't need to worry about getting exposed– '

  Martin had just sighed in relief and let down his guard for a bit when the black dragon-like monster next to Jevon suddenly shot fire breath into the poor guy's face.

  SWAAA!

  Martin was instantly caught off guard. Even when they're inside the illusion, the illusion was what Martin controlled, and that only meant he could use the real Martin's abilities without actually using them.

  Still, since he was caught off guard……he couldn't even manipulate the illusion, and his face was already burnt black.

  ! F-FCK!!

  Martin's face flushed red as he trembled from head to toe……especially when the clueless Jevon already laughed out loud.

  "Hahaha, gotcha! You have to keep up your guard anytime, you fool! Hahaha! Your face is burnt now!"

  Jevon laughed wildly, not caring about Martin's feelings at all. He didn't know why but he just liked to tease another genius with a small age gap between them.

  Maybe because he felt threatened that Martin might take his place as the five buds? Anyway, Jevon didn't stop bullying Martin at that.

  He kept forcing Martin to show his abilities here and there, and Martin could only manipulate the illusion to make it seem like he's fighting back.

  However, in reality, he was beaten black and blue. Just that……no one else saw this……no one except for a certain tiny baby wandering around the venue.

  That's right, it was Ainsley.

  Ainsley didn't just stay at the state and had been actually snooping around. Coincidentally, she found Jevon's venue, and it was when Martin had to perform.

  [Hmm, that's Martin, right? The young, handsome guy that is rumoured to be the future five buds, ] Ainsley spoke to the Godfather as she hid herself between the bushes.

  Somehow, spying on her people while her close subordinates were trying to find spies was more exciting than she first thought.

  [Martin? Oh, that. This Lord doesn't know, but his ranking is quite high despite his young age. Other rankers are mostly middle-aged people.]

  The Godfather nodded at Ainsley's words and was about to speak more when Martin silently activated the illusion stone……and the Godfather saw ripples in the air.

  The illusion stone was only a tool, after all. It's not like Raphael's special ability that could even affect dead spirits.

  Thus, when the illusion spread throughout the venue and enchanted those looking at the venue, the Godfather wasn't affected at all.

  He clearly saw……the form of the illusion, which was quite similar to Raphael's!

  In that instant, the Godfather's face darkened, and he immediately spoke to Ainsley through telepathy.

  [Lil Lass, Lil Lass, you hear me?]

  [Yeah?] Ainsley was oblivious to the fact that she fell into an illusion.

  Not to mention that she could still talk to the Godfather, making her think that Martin was currently battling Jevon just fine.

  However……what the Godfather said next slapped her back to reality.

  [Do you know that you're inside an illusion? That Martin guy is the culprit. He's currently being beaten black and blue. He's not using any of his abilities!]

  Ainsley's eyes flickered. The moment the Godfather said that, she realised that she was inside an illusion, and the illusion instantly had no effect on her anymore.

  [An……illusion? Damn, another illusion!]

  Ainsley bit her lips as she looked at Martin and Jevon's battle. Indeed, Jevon was using his abilities just fine, but Martin did nothing.

  It seemed that the type of illusion Martin used was quite different from what Raphael used.

  The former only fooled one's vision and feelings, while the latter was even more dangerous.

  Jevon still used his abilities just fine, not like when Ainsley couldn't use his abilities except for the passive skill; the Luck Armour.

  That's why, in reality, Martin was still beaten black and blue yet no one saw it……since they're all under the illusion's effect that Martin was fighting Jevon just fine.

  [Haaa. If that guy went as far as using an illusion when he can't even use any of his listed abilities……does that mean he's an…]

  [Impostor. A spy. He's probably not the real Martin anymore.] The Godfather shrugged.

  [If you check his soul, you can see whether the soul oath is still there. He's one of your loyal subordinates, after all.]

  The one receiving the oath could check whether the oath still existed or not by simpling gazing into the person's chest to look at their soul.

  Usually, this was impossible since not just anyone could see through others' souls, but when someone made a soul oath, it was basically the same as giving their soul to the other person.

  Thus, it was easy for Ainsley if she wanted to check Martin's soul.

  But……she was afraid that……the soul oath wasn't there.

  Is the real Martin really……gone?

  [……okay. I'll check it now.] Ainsley gritted her teeth.

  I'll find the truth!
