Chapter 235: Held Hostage by a Monster_1

```

The next evening, at the black market of Silvertown.

"No way?" Aiden frowned as he looked at the sign in front of him.

The "Phantom Moon" jewelry store, run by the fortune-teller Melissa, was now closed, its doorknob bearing a large sign that read, "Manager away, business suspended."

Melissa, was not there.

From the content of the sign, it looked like she had left the city, and it seemed that she would be gone for a long while.

Just at this time, was it merely a coincidence, or was it... intentional?

Aiden suddenly remembered that Melifilia had mentioned to him; Melissa had the ability to foresee the times when she might be exposed.

Could it be that she sensed some danger and chose this moment to run off to avoid meeting him?

Aiden sighed in his heart.

Whatever the case, it appeared that he could not make use of this source of information this time.
