"Why should I answer that?" Aru smiled and asked.

He had a point. There was no reason to explain how he found her.

"Where is the spark?" Aru inquired.

"I don't know," the lady answered immediately.

"Do I look like a fool? I can sense it in the pot over there." Aru pointed at an earthen pot placed nearby. Previously, the pot was hidden because of the illusion, but now he could see it. The fiery sensation resonating with his body confirmed that the spark was inside.

The lady stared blankly at Aru, realizing there was no escape.

"I never thought a young lady from a prominent clan would steal something from a poor kid like me. This is disappointing…" Aru said, watching her expression.

By saying that, he was fishing for information. The truth was, he had no idea who she was or why she wanted the spark.
