In fact, he seemed to be the type of person to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted and this was the best example to showcase this.
"Are you sure Melinda won\'t be mad?" asked Aiden again as he was currently following Paul with [Lightning Steps], his new movement technique.
They were both moving at an extremely high speed and if anyone were to see them from far away, the only thing that they would be able to glance at would be two blurs following each other.
Aiden had to admit that this movement technique was impressive, but he also understood why no technique like this had existed back on Earth.
Well, the reason was actually quite simple, mana didn\'t exist back on Earth.
"I already told you, that I will deal with it just trust me," said Paul as he continued running at an incredible pace.
Aiden had no choice, but to nod his head and believe in Paul this one time as he couldn\'t really do something against what they were doing.
And even if he could Aiden wouldn\'t have wanted to stop this whole thing as it also benefited him.
The sooner he would be able to meet Melinda once again, the sooner he would be able to have the answers that he so desperately wanted.
This time, he had thought about it and he didn\'t care if Melinda found his true identity.
So, what if she knew that he was part of the Nightshade, well once part of it?
What would she do?
Throw him back to them?
Aiden had that thought and he honestly didn\'t think that Melinda would actually do such a thing since Aiden was so talented.
On the contrary, Aiden had a good idea of what she would do. She would try her hardest to protect him from the Nightshade Family since he was that valuable.
Then, as the two of them continued to navigate at a really high speed, Paul who was leading suddenly started to slow down considerably.
"Alright, we\'ll soon arrive just wait here and I\'ll come to pick you up after I deal with this," said Paul as he suddenly disappeared from Aiden\'s sight.
\'I guess I really am not close at all to his top speed,\' thought Aiden as he knew that there was literally no way that he could move at such a speed.
In fact, Aiden hadn\'t even been able to see the movement coming from Paul.
"Wait, so Melinda is in there?" asked Aiden to himself, as he saw the huge building in front of him.
It wasn\'t the Emberbane Manor, however, it was almost as big as the manor.
Nonetheless, there was one huge difference between and it was what was written on that building.
[Emberbane\'s Personal Residence]
\'Is this really Melinda\'s home?\' thought Aiden, unsure whether or not that was actually the case.
Because from far away, he had to admit that he was impressed by how big this place was.
\'I didn\'t take her for someone so materialistic,\' said Aiden to himself, not expecting such a huge place for a single person.
Well, maybe it wasn\'t for a single person, but at the moment that was what Aiden thought as he knew that most people lived in the Emberbane Manor.
A few minutes passed by, and there was still no sign of Paul coming back yet. It seemed that the discussion between him and Melinda was taking quite a long time.
However, Aiden wasn\'t surprised in the least as he knew that Melinda would probably be mad to see him appear here without completing the fourth challenge.
He could only hope that she wouldn\'t direct that rage toward him since that wouldn\'t be the most pleasing experience.

One hour later, Aiden was still waiting in front of the Emberbane\'s Personal Residence and there was still no movement at all.
However, there had been one massive change and that was the noise that Aiden was currently hearing.
He could hear some mumbling noises of people shouting in there and Aiden had to admit that it was worrying him as he could sometimes recognize the voices and the words which were being used.
And without much surprise, the person who had caused this shouting, or rather the person who was the subject of this shouting was the Reaper, Aiden.
From the words that he had been able to recognize, there had been a few insults which really weren\'t nice to one\'s ear.
However, the positive in this situation was that Aiden wasn\'t the one receiving them and that it was Paul, who was clearly still stuck arguing with Melinda.
\'I guess, he\'s a man of his word,\' thought Aiden, as he would\'ve expected Paul to give up a long time ago.
Then, the background noise that was coming from the shouting disappeared and was instead replaced by complete silence.
\'Seems like they finally found an agreement,\' thought Aiden, as he still waited patiently not moving.
Not even a second after the silence had taken over, there was a sound of wind right beside Aiden which resounded.
*Swoosh*
"Alright, everything will be fine you can go in. However, I wasn\'t given the right to accompany you, not that I wanted to in the first place," said Paul as he disappeared leaving Aiden, alone ready to enter the Emberbane\'s Personal Residence.
Then, after Paul disappeared, Aiden took a few deep breaths preparing himself to enter.
"I guess, it\'s time for me to go and get some answers," mumbled Aiden, as he took a few steps forward toward the door which was at least two times as tall as him.
