Sign of Chaos

After hearing the guard's response, Envy felt both frustrated and angry. The Encantada family was the most powerful mage family in South America, and she had called in many favors to secure this appointment with the family head. Yet, at the scheduled time, the head of the Encantada family was not present.

She wasn't sure if the guard's claim was true or if this was some sort of ruse. But when a mage said they weren't at their residence, it was nearly impossible to track them. There were countless places and secret magical realms they could retreat to.

"Let's just hope this isn't a ploy from the Encantada family," Envy muttered once she was far from the estate. Turning to her butler, she said, "Wilkins, let's return to the VTOL for now. We'll rest there and then decide our next move."

"Yes, Mi'lady," the butler replied with a respectful bow before following closely behind her.
