(From MC’s perspective)
“Phew,” I exhaled in relief after taking a step inside the city. If someone sees me, they can see my back is completely drenched in sweat.
After I had started fleeing from that place, I never turned back. Except for taking a few stops on the way to catch some breath, I avoided taking any rest.
Then I saw the time. It was already midnight. Seeing that, I began to look for an air cab nearby. Fortunately, there is one right next to me. It just got arrived and a customer stepped out of the car the next second.
I didn’t waste any time thinking further. After a few minutes, the air cab flew towards my home. Only after getting inside the cab, I can think a lot more clearly.
When I recall the conversation between those wizards, I can’t stop worrying. Especially, those the wizards who are a level higher than me.
Fortunately, I moved from that place on time. Otherwise, I would have ended up dead. Shaking my head, I try to forget this unpleasant event.
But my trip is not without any gain. I got crucial information. Which is necessary for my upcoming plans. The one thing that I had understands from the situation is my current level is not suitable for future battles.
Especially my future enemies are level-2 and level-3 wizards. But it would be regrettable if someone finds that Gregor Site. In this situation, time is not on my side. In the coming days, I can only be a spectator.
The valuables from Gregor Site might be collected by other strong guilds. Thinking about it, I sighed inwardly. Maybe I should drop my plans about the Gregor Site and reshift my attention back to the school.
I should focus on the year-end competition. Because this plan sounds more logical. After gaining some clarity in my thought, I finally stopped thinking about the wilderness.
Next, I waited for the air cab to reach my home.
Two hours later,
The air cab slowly landed in front of my home. After paying the amount to the cab driver, I walked out of the car.
I revealed a small smile as I walked up to the front door.
“Creak” the door opens.
After opening the door using the spare key, I walked inside. I have a vague feeling that both my parents are in hospital. Today is an odd day, probably both of them are on duty.
Which saves me from another headache. After closing the door, I glanced at my brother’s room before walking upstairs. After getting inside my room, I went to take a bath first.
10 minutes later,
After changing into comfortable clothes, I collapsed onto the bed in mental tiredness.
In the next second, the image of fatty flashed before my eyes. “I don’t know what happened at school today?” I mumbled under my breath.
In curiosity, I checked my communication watch. But there is no message in the inbox. Seeing that, I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion. Usually, Lucas would spam my inbox with a barrage of messages.
This time I didn’t receive any message from the fatty. Is he alright? Various questions appeared in my mind. I only got fatty as a sponsor in the school. I don’t have another sidekick.
Should I form my friend circles like Liam or Frank?
Shaking my head, I stopped looking at the communication watch. I realized I’m still overthinking certain things. I feel it will be alright If I get some good sleep.
Next, I turned off the light and fell asleep.
The following day,
I woke up early and went to freshen up myself. After a few minutes, I began to meditate. The gravity mana around me is, as usual, it’s very scarce.
But I didn’t stop practicing because of it. It has already become a routine of mine. Slowly, I began to attract the scarce mana and gathered it inside my body.
Time went by.
I opened my eyes one hour later. Then I decided to get ready for school. I went inside the bathroom to take a long bath. I stepped out of the bath several minutes later.
Then I began to wear the school uniform. The blue mage robe looked brand new. After wearing it, I glanced at the clock.
There is still some time left for breakfast. I decided to wait a few more minutes before walking out. In the meantime, I began to read some daily news.
When I opened the news webpage, an interesting headline drew my attention.
<strong>[The notorious wizard Leon Willy was found dead inside a prison cell.]</strong> 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕.𝚝
My eyes widened in surprise. “This guy is dead. How is it even possible?”I mumbled under my breath.
“Who killed this person?”I mumbled under my breath. Due to my wilderness adventure, I almost forget about events taking place at police headquarters.
A couple of days ago, I saw viral news where I saw a statement published by police headquarters saying that they have successfully apprehended the criminal.
At the time, I realized the level -5 wizard from the police force succeed in their mission. That news brought me a great sense of relief. Because there will be no more assassination attempts on me.
But looking at the current situation. I only got a dreadful feeling about this. I thought they would interrogate the person. If he spills the information then they will act to wipe out the whole poison dagger force.
This is the general trend I’m expecting. But now that he is dead. I don’t know whether the police force managed to get some information from his mouth.
In the next second, the image of vast plains comes to mind. Especially, the recent events related to the Gregor Site.
I sucked a cold breath realizing the fact. No wonder, the powerful guilds were acting boldly recently. As the police force is occupied with Leon Willy’s case, they don’t have time to look into other matters.
Which gives the best opportunity for a guild to act. The next second, I smacked my forehead. I believe the news about the Gregor Site is not new. The sword guild and another similar guild might have known about this long ago.
But they can’t act daringly and implement their plans when the government such as the police force is staring at their back. Everything became clear as I connected all those dots.
“One thing is related to another,” I muttered to myself. I believe people from the police department also know about the Gregor Site.
Should I leak the information about Sword Guild’s actions at vast plains? I held up my chin in contemplation.
No wonder, the powerful guilds was acting boldly recently. Because it seems a good side hustle to me. I can make money by selling secret information.
As this thought rose in my heart, I immediately search the police force web page. Soon the page began to appear clearly. I immediately accessed the information section.
I saw two things under the information section. One is the information published by them and the other one is the citizen section where I can notify them about a certain issue.
After spending a few more minutes on the webpage, I found no option about selling information. Is there no options about it? I hardly doubt it.
Looks like I need to ask someone working inside the police force. Then I immediately thought of the certain person. I don’t know whether Mr. Laurentz will attend my call.
A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. Getting in touch with the police force is like a double edge sword. I will get hurt if I’m not careful.
But I have a good opinion of Mr. Laurentz. Last time he provided me with life-saving items. So there is nothing wrong with asking him about it.
After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I decided to contact him later. Because now is not the time. When it comes to news about Leon Willy’s demise. I don’t know how to react.
I just hope that the police force can remove the remaining poison dagger’s rogue wizards as soon as possible. Then I got up from the bed to go outside.
After closing the webpage, I walked downstairs. I saw my brother is having breakfast alone. It will be some time before my mum and dad come back from their shift.
Then without minding him, I sat opposite him.
“Where were you yesterday?” Brian Carey asked.
Hearing that I looked into his eyes. I can see he is looking at me with a doubtful gaze. Was he awake last night? A question appeared in my heart.
It’s possible, he might have heard the sound of footsteps.
“Cough,”
“I went to my friend’s house,” I said with a cough.
“I don’t think it’s true,” Brian said.
“Every time you come up with the same line of an excuse,” Brian added further.
Brian’s suspicions about his brother are getting worsened. He had a strong feeling that his brother is hiding something from them. But he doesn’t know what is it exactly.
The topic of the Claudia gym is already been discussed. So there is nothing new for him to bring up. But Brian has a vague feeling that something else is going on.
At the same time, I remained silent after hearing my brother’s question. As expected of my brother, he is curious about my recent activities.
