Mia is missing

After David, Adrian, and Mia finished eating. David immediately called the waiter to come here, the waiter who heard David's voice immediately rushed to David. There David told the waiter to count all the food they ordered and the waiter said that the total of all the food was 50 gold coins.

Suddenly this made Adrian and Mia very surprised, they never imagined that they would eat food this expensive, they thought that getting that much money might be able to survive for at least 1 year. But this time David spent that much money in just one day? Noble families are different, they are not afraid of running out of money at all and wasting it just like that.

After paying for their food. David, Adrian, and Mia decided to head back to Adrian's house. They walked for a few minutes until they finally arrived and started to enter the house, while inside the house Adrian remembered something.

"Ah... David isn't it that we are going to do the training, when can we start?"

"Of course now, but we have to go to a quiet place like a forest or something because if your concentration is disturbed even a little it will make the aura you have disappear and it will be useless"

"Can't we just do it at home?"

"Hmm... no Adrian because after you have the star aura we will continue with a light training session to increase your physical strength before we go to my house"

"Hmm... well, Mia I'll be gone for a while so if a stranger comes by don't open the door, and if the person insists on entering then hide in a safe place... ok" Adrian said while holding his sister's shoulder.

Mia who understood Adrian's words just nodded and after that David and Adrian started walking away from there to carry out Adrian's training but before leaving Mia started talking to her brother.

"Brother, keep up the good work, Mia will always support you."

Adrian who heard her became very happy and waved his hand. after Adrian and David left there Mia immediately closed the door and locked it so that no one would enter until her brother returned.

David and Adrian began walking towards the outside of the Malvyn Empire, fortunately from Adrian's residence and the Malvyn Empire gate was not too far away until a few minutes later David finally found a suitable place to train Adrian, a quiet place with lots of shady trees. David breathed in the air for a moment because he liked the forest when he was still on earth as Roy Wijaya he often went to the forest to just camp and relieve boredom at work, he often spent his office vacation period traveling to the forest because he was fed up with cities full of pollution, tall buildings, and engine vehicles everywhere. Well... at least in this world it is still not polluted by air pollution and let alone other machine vehicles.

"Huh... well let's get started, Adrian"

Currently, Mia is sitting while playing with a doll made by her mother Vanessa just to relieve her longing for mom, Mia misses Vanesha's hugs, especially her homemade food is what Mia likes the most, when they have money then their mother will cook carrot and potato soup. Even though it was a simple meal, Mia loved it because she could feel her mother's love for both of them, which made Mia very happy. Even thinking about her mother made Mia smile to herself but a few seconds later Mia was sad again remembering that her mother had now gone and left them both.

When Mia was thinking about her mother, she was startled by the sound of a very strong knock on the door. of course, it made Mia very scared she thought if it was the gangsters who came earlier, she immediately rushed to find a place to hide so as not to be caught by them and in the end Mia decided to hide under the bed.

"MIA... MIA... OPEN THE DOOR, THIS IS YOUR FATHER... MIA"

Mia who heard that it was her father still did not open the door at all, Mia became even more frightened because she knew how cruel their father was, she even remembered when mom was still alive. Their father often beat their mother so that Adrian got angry and started hitting his father which resulted in a fight between them getting fierce, the father who was very angry with Adrian's treatment began to take hot water and tried to pour it on Adrian but Vanesha immediately hugged Adrian and protected him with her body resulting in Vanesha getting burns on his back. their father named Farel very rarely came home and he didn't even give Vanesha a penny of money if Farel came home it was even in a state of drunkenness so it was not uncommon for him to often hurt Vanesha, Adrian, or Mia.

Farel who felt that his call was not answered immediately tried to break the door using his body, until when the third push he managed to open the door. Farel began to search for Mia's whereabouts, he even made a mess of all the furniture there, while Mia could only be frightened while covering her mouth hoping that her father would not find her there, but Mia's guess was wrong because few minutes later Farel managed to find her and began dragging her out from under the bed.

"NO..."

"GO FOLLOW ME," Farel said as he held Mia's hand firmly and tried to drag her out.

"NO... I DON'T WANT TO... LET ME GO... HELP ME BROTHER!!!"

"SHUT UP... YOU'RE SO NOISY, I'LL TAKE YOU TO MR. SAMUEL AND AFTER THAT MY DEBT WILL BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED HAHAHAHA..."

Mia who heard that became very shocked, she wondered if her father wanted to sell her to Mr. Samuel. She didn't want to be sold and immediately put up a fight that made Farel feel angry and decided to carry her like a sack, while Mia could only scream while hitting her father's back continuously.

David began to tell Adrian to sit on the ground, he told Adrian to focus on feeling the aura inside him. Adrian who understood immediately concentrated fully but he still did not feel anything, David who knew that immediately tried to help Adrian by transferring a little of his aura as a trigger so that the aura inside Adrian began to come out. After a few minutes, Adrian finally began to feel an energy inside him. David told Adrian to stay focused on collecting the aura.

The aura inside Adrian began to fill his body and it made Adrian in pain, he felt like his body was pierced by thousands of needles.

"UGHH... HURTS..."

"Hold on, no matter how much it hurts you have to hold on otherwise it will all be in vain."

"Okay... "

The aura inside Adrian's body was getting more and more even now it had filled his body after that David told Adrian to bring and gather it at one point to condense it to form an aura star, Adrian began to try to do what David ordered and began to gather all his aura and concentrate it all on Adrian's chest.

Adrian started to hurt again, even more than before. He felt like there was a sword coming and stabbing his chest.

"AHHHH... THIS HURTS..."

"HANG IN THERE, I'LL HELP YOU"

David began to use the aura he had and helped Adrian to gather his energy faster, all the aura began to be attracted quickly to Adrian's chest and after all the aura was gathered David immediately pressed and tried to purify and shape Adrian's aura. After a while, they finally managed to do so and Adrian managed to create an aura star on his chest.

"Hah... it finally worked"

"Hah... hah... yes," Adrian said with a gasp.

"Now you check Adrian."

Adrian began to reassess his aura and he could feel pure and powerful energy centered in his chest, not only that he also felt all the senses in his body increase. Adrian could even now hear the sound of deer feet about a meter ahead.

"So this is called the aura, it's amazing"

"Heh... that's not all, now we start the physical training, prepare yourself because this is going to make you very tortured hahaha..."

"Do we have to do physical training too?"

"Of course, because to be a shadow guard you must have at least one aura star and strong physical strength, we've managed to get you one aura star now it's time to strengthen your physical strength"

Adrian could only be silent as if he was thinking about something, it made David wonder what was really on Adrian's mind.Was the training that difficult? But according to David, Adrian's training was not that difficult because David's training was even more torturous, even when he tried to unite mana and aura, David felt like his whole body was being torn apart by wild animals alive. The curious David immediately asked Adrian.

"Hey... what's wrong? Why are you daydreaming, is the training too hard?"

"It's not that David it's just that... I have a bad feeling about Mia, can't we go home for a while to see how Mia is doing"

David who heard that was just silent, but when David saw Adrian's natural look of anxiety and worry immediately sighed and started talking.

"Alright... we'll go home first to see how Mia is doing and then we'll continue practicing."

"Okay... thanks David"

David replied by simply nodding his head, after which David and Adrian rushed back to Adrian's house to check on Mia. A few minutes later they finally got there.

"Mia..."

Adrian's speech stopped after seeing the unlocked door of his house, even though he told Mia to lock it, making Adrian's premonition even worse. David and Adrian decided to go straight into the house and were again shocked by the messy state of the house as if it had been damaged by someone. Adrian was sure it must be Samuel's subordinates who did it, Adrian tried to call his younger sister to come out but there was no response at all, Adrian was very sure that it was Samuel's subordinates who kidnapped his younger sister.

"SAMUEL!!!"

After saying that Adrian immediately rushed to where Samuel's residence was while David just followed Adrian from behind and they started running there to save Mia.
