Very soon, he came out of the thick Beast Forest in long strides.

After cautiously walking for about 15 minutes while also occasionally stopping to check the trails that he had left behind in case he gets lost on his way, Randy finally came out of the Beast Forest.

After that, he passed through the invisible barrier that was erected around the entire city and through the city's east gate that led inside the city; this was the same huge gate that he passed through to go out into the Beast Forest earlier.

Randy did not waste too much time and proceeded on wards after nodding slightly towards the surprised but pleased guard of the east gate of the Beast Forest.

This was the same guard from before. 

There appears to be other guards in a small building stationed not too far away from the east gate, however it seems that this guard was mostly in charge of guarding the gate today and that was most likely the reason why Randy had ran into him more than once during his little outing to the Beast Forest today. 



On the other side.

Eastern District,  A Certain Luxurious Hotel.

At this time, the white-haired man from earlier had just received the information that he had requested pertaining to the young man that he saw on that footage sent to him by the Sky Rise City's Police Department in this Eastern District.

At this moment, he suddenly displayed a scowl on his face and then all of sudden he relaxed his expression a bit after reading through everything on the projected screen from his communication device.

And he proceeded to look at the portrait next to the displayed file for a while and then suddenly muttered: "So this kid is actually not a stray from my prestigious family... Since according to this file, he was the oldest child of those two people… If that is the case, then what is with his appearance changing ability… is it possible that it was simply just an ability that happens to change his appearance to look similar to a member of my prestigious family?"

The white-haired man pondered about this matter and then thought of a possibility.

'Wait, those two were a magician and a blood warrior class, respectively and yet their child did not inherit any of their abilities and instead awakened to a transformation ability that alters his appearance slightly? How is that even possible?'

'No, wait! In this case, that will only be possible if this young man was not their own child or that this young man just happened to inherit a certain genetic trait that allowed him to acquire a different variation of an ability that is unlike those of parents.' 

The white-haired man thought of these possibilities with a deep pondering expression on his face.

At this point, the screen of his communication device flashed, causing him to lose his train of thought.

He frowned slightly in displeasure, however, as he thought of something, he suddenly relaxed his expression and then immediately reach his hand to the table in front of him to picked up the communication device. 

After picking it up, he proceeded to tap the communication device, instantly revealing the same person from before on the other end. 

And just as before, upon seeing the white-haired man's face on the other end, that person immediately reported in a respectfully tone: "Young Lord, regarding the matter you requested from the tech department, it had been done…"

"What are you waiting for? Just outright say everything that you have found out, why keep the suspense?" The white-haired man impatiently said to him.

"Right away, Young Lord. That brat— that young man on the footage… after going through numerous meticulous analyses and scrutiny, the tech department found out from the footage that his appearance was very strange… it looked like he had a slightly extended fingernails after his transformation, but they said they were not certain about whether it was glitch due to the quality of the footage being low or whether the young man really had claws after his transformation."

Hearing this report, the white-haired man scowled and then silently thought.

'A clawed finger? An extended fingernail? Isn't this trait very familiar… don't tell me that he really is a stray from my prestigious family? Then again, how come nobody seem to know about his existence up until now? In any case, this matter requires a careful approach; I cannot afford to offend those two people, so I will only send people to probe that young man and see whether he really is a member of my prestigious family, but if it turns out to be the case, then that would mean that those two people had actually intentionally or unintentionally adopted a member of my prestigious family, right?'

The white-haired man dismissed these thoughts for now as he suddenly spoke to the man on the other end of the communication device: "I understand what you are trying to say… If there is indeed a possibility that this young man was a member of our family, then we'll have no choice but to bring him back to where he belongs, even if we have to go against those two people. For now, find some people to probe him and check whether he really is someone of our family or just a unique ability holder with the ability to turn his hair into a white color. Furthermore, If it is just a unique ability, then we don't have to worry too much about this. However in the likelihood that he really is a member of our family, we would have to quickly take actions as soon as possible as we cannot let people know of our true identities in this world." 

After saying so, he suddenly recalled something and then calmly spoke up again: "And also, according to what I heard from the people from the Sky Rise City's police department, that young man, although quite odd, might have not told his parents about his abilities just yet. And that was due to the fact that he was trying to hide the matter of him apprehending Thousand Visage a secret from them." 

"… Understood, Young Lord. I will see to it right away." The man on the other side responded in a solemn tone of voice.

"Hm, I will leave this matter to you then. And I expect good results." The white-haired man then said to him.

Hearing his young lord's expectation, the man on the other side paused for a moment before solemnly replying in a determined tone of voice: "The Young Lord does not need to worry, this subordinate will see to it that this matter is solved with the utmost results."

"Very well." The white-haired man appeared pleased as he nodded to his response before cutting the connection to the communication device.
