Little Star Gate High School,
Carlos was caught off guard. The poisonous smell immediately hindered his mana circulation inside the body. Feeling that his face becomes discolored. He knew it was impossible to fight in this state. So he tries to flee. But before he could do something.
John arrived before Carlos and attacked him again. He gave a direct hit to Carlos’s neck. As a result, Carlos lost consciousness. But John doesn’t have any leisure time. The earlier commotion has already attracted attention.
Since the culprit was caught. John decided to leave this place. He picks up Carlos’s body and disappears from the spot.
A few seconds later, several auras arrived at the spot. And one of them is the captain of the security guard. He is a level-4 wizard. After arriving at this place, he started to check the surroundings.
A quick glint flashed in his eyes as he saw the smashed tree. When he tries to sense the mana fluctuations. He didn’t sense any mana breath instead he caught the lingering smell of poisonous herb.
The next moment, he immediately retreated backward. “Too dangerous,” The captain muttered to himself. He quickly concluded someone strong had fought here recently. Since there are no mana fluctuations, he couldn’t conclude their wizard level.
But from the lingering poisonous smell, he felt a grave threat. Which made him think that the people might be high-rank wizards. Then he turned towards his subordinates and instructed them,” Secure this area. Don’t go anywhere near the broken tree. The area is infected with high-level poison.”
After cautioning everyone, he left the place to inform the management. The subordinates swiftly acted as per his instructions.
John Meyer left the school and headed towards the abandoned area for further interrogation.
Office,
Chairman Benjamin is checking news reports online. He wants to see whether there are any negative articles about the school. But fortunately, there were no such reports. The public is satisfied by the duel. Now everyone is looking forward to the final duel.
He believes that the admission rate will be higher next year. His face revealed a small smile but the next moment someone disturbed his thinking.
Knock
Hearing the knock on the door, he frowns. He uttered, “Who is it again?” He was in a bad mood because of the medical staff. Now someone has come to disturb his peace again. But still, he wants to see what’s going on.
Creak
The door opens. The captain of the security guard walked into the room.
Seeing him, Benjamin feels bad premonition in his heart. The next moment, the captain reported everything verbally.
At first, Benjamin reacted calmly. But when he continues to listen. His fat body trembles. “What did you say?” he asked back in disbelief. The information is hard to process. His initial thoughts were, what high-ranking wizards were doing in his school.
He got up from his seat and asked, “Are you sure?”
The captain nodded and explained about the poisonous smell around that area.
Benjamin became serious for the first time since the start of the tournament. “Let’s go, I want to see. What is going on?”
Then both of them left and arrived at the spot a few minutes later. He saw other security guards protecting the area. Then seeing the broken tree, he quickly realized. “Who could be?” He mumbled under his breath.
Is there any reason for someone to fight inside the school? His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Chairman Benjamin thinks about the possibility. Then he suddenly thought about Vincent Carey and Danny Quinn.
“No, it’s not them.”
“Danny’s parents were yet to arrive,” Benjamin said in his heart.
He thought about the absurd possibility. Danny’s family can target Vincent. But right now it’s too early to think that.
Beep!
But the next second he received a sudden notification. Seeing the message he lost his composure, “They are here.”
Chairman Benjamin’s face darkened. He ordered others to monitor the area and then he walked towards the clinic along with the captain.
At the same time, a burly figure entered the school along with his assistant. He is none other than the father of Danny Quinn. Joe Quinn level-4 Power wizard. He has brown hair and eyes. His skin color is a little bit tanned. He is 6ft tall in height. But surprisingly his attire is a black tuxedo.
After entering the school, he immediately asked his assistant,” Where is that pig?”
An assistant is an old man in his sixties. But he is a veteran wizard. When he heard his boss’ words, he replied politely, “Boss, the school chairman is waiting for us at the clinic.”
“Harrumph” Joe Quinn snorted coldly.
“If not for that pig’s status as the school chairman, I would have directly stomped on his nasty face,” he uttered in a dissatisfied tone.
Both of them arrived at the clinic a few minutes later.
Joe Quinn spotted the school chairman Benjamin. Instead of greeting him, he rather asked him in a commanding tone,” Where is my son?”
Chairman Benjamin is now standing together with the headmaster Chester and the class teacher Eric.
Benjamin’s face turned ugly. He didn’t like Joe’s tone at all. But he replied politely, “Mr. Joe, here.” He pointed to the room right next to him. Fortunately, he shifted Danny Quinn to this new room some time ago.
Joe Quinn glanced at him before walking inside the room. Then he sees his son. Seeing his son’s injured state, his heart is boiling in anger.
Following him, everyone entered the room.
Class teacher Eric’s heart skips a beat. Seeing Joe’s expression, he felt fortunate that he was not alone there.
Everyone understands Joe’s mood right now. So no one dared to raise their voice at this time. ．
Joe Quinn is pained greatly. His son’s bones were broken beyond his belief. He couldn’t believe his eyes. If not for the live broadcast of the duel, he would have thought someone assassinated his son.
The atmosphere inside the room turned solemn.
Joe’s eyes flickered for a moment. His son is a prodigy but another student turned him into a wretched state. Thinking about it, a sudden rage took over his heart. How could he remain silent?
“I want to see that kid who made my son suffer this much,” He said in a grim tone.
His voice is not loud but everyone can hear the heavy pressure behind his voice.
Class teacher Eric broke out in a cold sweat. The headmaster Chester Nixon’s face turned solemn. “I feel my old life is way better than this,” He said in his heart.
Chairman Benjamin wasn’t surprised by Joe’s request. He narrowed his eyes and denied his request by saying, “No”
Joe Quinn’s expression changes drastically. He released his level-4 mana to put pressure on them.
But the next moment, the pressure disappeared completely. Because another figure entered the room right now. He is the captain of the security guard. Eric Wallace sighed in relief.
Chairman Benjamin smirked. He knows about Joe Quinn’s arrogant nature. That’s why he instructed the captain to wait outside.
“Do you know what you are doing right now?” Joe Quinn said in a threatening tone.
The old assistant behind him also changed his demeanor. He became combat-ready.
A quick glint flashed in Benjamin’s eyes. The old man’s changes also caught his eye.
So Benjamin politely replied, “I know what I’m doing, Mr. Joe”
“But your request is unreasonable”
“Harrumph,” Joe Quinn gave a cold snort before saying,” Then who will explain my son’s state.”
Chairman Benjamin sneered, “What kind of explanation do you need?”
He said, “Don’t forget your son got injured in a live duel.”
After saying that he added further, “Anyone with discerning eyes can see that your son wanted to cripple the opponent first. And he almost succeeded in doing that but unfortunately, he underestimated the opponent and got injured instead.”
“It’s a violation of rules to cripple or to kill fellow students inside the campus. You should be grateful that I didn’t pursue your son’s violation of rules.”
Joe Quinn’s intestines turned green. But he couldn’t completely refute his words. Because it’s true. His son wanted to crush his opponent. But it’s a pity that he missed it.
The next moment, Joe Quinn said without changing his expression. I’m taking my son with me.
Benjamin replied,” Alright.”
10 minutes later,
Danny Quinn is taken to a private air car with a huge space. Joe Quinn and his assistant hopped inside the air car. The next second, the air car rose from the ground and moved towards the destination.
Inside the air car,
Joe Quinn’s eyes gleamed with a cold glint. He asked his assistant, “What is that kid’s name?”
The old assistant replied, “Vincent Carey.”
Hearing that Joe nodded his head and asked, “What about the force behind him?”
The old assistant hesitated a bit then he answered, “The yellow river academy.”
“What?” Joe Quinn’s eyes widened in disbelief. Then he learned other information about Vincent Carey. Finally, his back was drenched in a cold sweat. He immediately removed bad intentions from his heart.
“No wonder, that pig seemed so confident this time,” He said with a sigh.
