Chapter 416 “Professional” Infiltration
“What the hell?” Selina couldn’t help but say feelingly, “This Karen is truly… a genius.”
On the screen, Karen was saying, “Most people change the locks on the doors the moment they move in, but not the garage control. When Meg and Danny went traveling last time, they gave me a spare set, and I forgot to return it to them. It’s time to use it.”
Luke couldn’t help but sweat.
Thankfully, his security system was based on a passcode, and the keys were just a disguise, or Karen might’ve already broken into his place.
Why was this housewife such a busybody? Also, weren’t they worried that Tim and his wife would catch them in the act?
Luke adjusted the cameras again, and was surprised to discover that Tim and his wife weren’t home.
Where were they?
After a hectic day, Selina and Luke, as well as Jeff and Karen, were resting at home, but these two had gone out again.
How dedicated! Luke mumbled to himself.
They had hung out for an entire day; he didn’t believe that the couple would have gone out to continue playing at night; secret service agents weren’t that enthusiastic.
He was too lazy to bother with Jeff and Karen.
Given Tim and Natalie’s appearance, it was unlikely that they would have set up traps at home.
This was an ordinary neighborhood, after all, not a battlefield, and not every trespasser had to be killed.
Even at Luke’s place, intruders would only trigger the alarms; the truly lethal weapons wouldn’t activate without verification.
He simply told Selina to keep an eye on the feed, and went to take a shower.
After the shower, Selina waved at him. “Tim and his wife are back. Haha, come and watch the show.”

Luke was rendered speechless. “…Don’t tell me that Jeff and Karen are still at Tim’s.”
Selina nodded quickly. “You’re so smart. They really haven’t left yet.”
Luke remarked, “They’re truly ‘professionals’.”
He wasn’t worried about Jeff and Karen.
Tim and his wife wouldn’t do anything to them, even if they were discovered. After all, Tim and his wife had their reasons for coming here. If necessary, they wouldn’t hesitate to pretend to be blind and stupid.
“What’s Jeff dragging out? Is it a… body? Oh, alright, it’s Karen,” said Selina.
Stunned, Luke walked over and looked at the screen.
He saw that Jeff had grabbed his wife by the legs and was pulling her out of the house from a side door.
Luke was amazed. “Karen won’t be bald tomorrow, will she?”
Selina looked at the screen and felt lucky. “Thank god you aren’t weak, and won’t move me around like that.”
Luke was amused. “Even if I only had one hand left, I would still take you with me.”
Selina remembered the night in Wolfkyle and chuckled.
After Jeff dragged his wife all the way home, Luke shifted the cameras back to their house again.
Hearing Jeff’s murmurs, Luke was quickly able to determine that Karen was neither dead nor wounded, but had been drugged with a needle.
Even more astoundingly, the needle had been from a pen-shaped tranquilizer, which shot Karen in the butt when Jeff was going to copy something down with the pen.
But when Karen woke up the next day, she wouldn’t feel any pain in her rear.
Jeff had probably already plucked out the needle before he dragged his wife away, or domestic violence would have been inevitable.
After verifying the situation, Luke stopped eavesdropping on Jeff and his wife. “Okay, I’m going to work. You can train on your own.”

Selina opened her eyes wide at him. “Okay.” She then took the tablet with her to the training room.
Luke wasn’t interested in the couple’s private matters, but Selina was enjoying it.
At that moment, Karen had already started to paw at Jeff. Maybe the anesthetic had a bit of a side effect, like primitive lust
It would be a shame to miss that!
The next day was a work day, but Luke simply had Selina call Elsa and tell her that they were directly going out to investigation and would skip going to the police department.
Elsa didn’t have any urgent cases for them at the moment. She simply said that she got it and hung up.
Things were really convenient with such a supportive boss.
Selina couldn’t be happier.
It was partly because she didn’t have to go to work in a hurry in the morning, and partly because she had eaten a delicious breakfast.
Luke had enjoyed special Cantonese food during the day, and had had plenty of time last night, so he had made a classic Cantonese breakfast in the morning.
On the tablet, Jeff and his wife were whispering to each other again. They indicated that they had found a bug in the gift that Tim gave them, and Jeff was going to report the matter to security management at his company.
Eavesdropping on such an exciting matter early in the morning was the third reason why Selina was happy.
Luke simply left her alone.
She usually had very little entertainment, and seldom interacted with her neighbors; she deserved a bit fun.
For Jeff and Karen’s safety, both Luke and Selina had blown off work.
Just because Tim and Natalie weren’t ruthless didn’t mean that Jeff and his wife weren’t in danger.
Naive people like them who stumbled into certain things were usually the quickest to die.
Luke then followed Jeff to work, while Selina stayed home to watch the paranoid Karen. After a day of surveillance, they didn’t find anything wrong. At least, Jeff got off work on the clock and drove home in his small blue Chevrolet.
He seemed fine, except that he was more anxious than usual.
Luke sighed.
Alright. His anxiety suggested that he was involved in something bad.
The man was good at communication but bad at hiding his feelings. Returning home, Luke greeted Selina and asked, “Anything unusual?” Selina shrugged. “Karen, Natalie and I have all been at home. Karen has been observing Natalie, and I’ve been observing them.”
Luke nodded and said, “Have you seen Jeff’s expression? He might have confirmed something, like spy-related stuff.” Selina laughed and said, “Tim and his life are most likely special agents. They’re legit defenders of America; more likely they’re the ones looking for spies. Wow! Listen to this.”
She stopped talking and turned up the volume on the tablet. “Carl, why are you telling me to go there? The abandoned warehouse on Route 57? That’s a weird place, isn’t it? Also, why didn’t you say anything at work, and you’re only telling me now?
“Fine, I promise that I won’t report this or mention it to anybody else.”
Luke and Selina looked at each other.
Selina said, “Why do I feel like the person Jeff is talking to is like some movie undercover villain?”
Luke was unable to respond, and also found it quite suspicious, “Carl Prongo; he should be a security manager at MBI. This indeed falls under his responsibility. Let’s go. Gear up first. Something might happen.”

Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad
