High-Class Mob

Chapter 24: No secrets

Mina awoke in the middle of the day. She turned to glance over at Colt who lay by her side and showed a sweet smile.

‘Oh, how sweet this feeling is but…’

She was bare without clothes and so was Colt, her finger moved and reached Colt’s chest. Her fingers glowed a bright green light and it entered Colt’s chest.

The light seeped into Colt’s heart and traveled towards his head reaching the mind. Colt groaned but he didn’t feel discomfort nor did he feel pain.

When the green light reached his mind it didn’t even take a minute for it to enter inside.

She could feel it, Colt’s emotion, she moved towards his ears and whispered her name, “Mina”, in a very affectionate manner inciting for Colt’s emotions to react.

Mina closed her eyes as she relished the emotions Colt felt. Genuine, that is what she is searching for and today, this is the third time she checked if Colt’s emotions are true and untainted.

She started this the first time she offered herself to Colt. Mina wished to know if the emotions he showed at the time were genuine or not, she does not wish to be betrayed.

The trust she gives Colt is not something one would be able to measure. Her trust in him is immense for he speaks the truth, he told her something that could have jeopardized their relationship so that she will be able to know the truth.

Ever since she was a child, her parents taught her to find a man that will speak truthfully to you and not lie. “A liar will betray you for his gains, use you for what is backing you, and walk past you when you need them the most.

“But, those who are honest will let you know who they are, if they are vulnerable they will show you who they are, they will cry and if you find a genuine person who does not act, then, he is someone you should give your all to.”

He is honest and that honesty is the thing that should remain.

“If you had lied to me…I wouldn’t know what I would have done to you my dear husband. But oh well, I can forgive you. Besides, I was given a daughter who loves her father, that’s good…that’s good.”

At first, Mina was attracted to his free attitude, not letting anyone react to how he acts is attractive to her.

She touched her belly and smiled expectantly.

“Bad boys really do attract women. Oh dear, I just wish our child and Filla do not end up like myself.”

She got off the bed and cast a spell on Colt to make him fall deeper in sleep, Mina then began to make her move; she crouched down on the warm floor of the room and took a bag from underneath the bed.

Opening the bag, there were seven boxes that are as big as four inches, opening one of these boxes and what she saw was a 3-centimeter blue gem-like circular object that’s as flat as paper. She looked at it and set it aside for the time being.

There other five boxes contained the same thing. And as six of these sheet-like circular sheets laid out in front of her. These sheets were fragile so she carefully lifted them up using her mana.

This is basic mana manipulation used by most alchemists. It is considered as hard to do by most despite its simplistic application, but Mina is not someone normal.

The sheet-like gems were scattered around the room.

“These would alarm me if anything big happens.”

These seven sheet-like gems are known as a “Defuser”. A defuser costs around 1,000 Perum (Gold) each, or 1,000,000 Priba (bronze).

The use of a defuser is simple, negate a jamming device. The Tiger Manor is littered with magical devices, from recording gems to a protection array, it has everything.

An attacker would deploy a Magic Jammer to make the magical technology go haywire, however, with these defusers, the jamming device would be stopped and push comes to shove, the protection array set in this room would activate when something happens.

Mina set it all up and 6,000,000 worth of items were now used to protect the room without Colt’s knowledge. However, this is merely the start, there was one more box that remained in the bag and as that box was opened, a 10-centimeter spherical gem glimmered and an earpiece no bigger than a fingernail.

This sphere is known as a Voice-Transceiver device, it cost 5,000,000 Priba.

“Now, not one conversation held in this room will escape my ears.”

This Voice-Transceiver will let her hear anything that will be spoken in this room, and none will be able to escape her in the future. She actually wanted a Gem-Recorder, but that cost 15,000,000 Priba, and her funds is not bigger than 12,000,000.

Besides, she can’t just make without a defuser so she settled down with a Voice-Transceiver.

‘If a magic jamming device is set off, the recorder will prove useless, at least with this I’ll be able to hear anything that may happen to my dear.’

Mina set up everything and nodded her head. She won’t always be in this room, but anything that will be talked about in this room will not be missed.

‘I wish I know dark-magic to learn about Hell Ear magic…wait, the man with us earlier reeked of dark mana, maybe…’

Mina had an idea. And after setting everything up, she went back to bed with Colt and cuddled with him as a sweet smiled blossomed as if nothing happened.

As she was just about to go back to sleep, she remembered the few words her mother left her.

“Don’t let him get away from you…”

“I won’t, mother.”
