Little Star Gate High School,
Class A1,
Brent Dale looked at Frank Lambert with a sly smile on his face. In his opinion, it’s easy to exploit Frank Lambert’s hatred to manipulate him.
Finally, he asked, “Do you want him to die?”
Hearing that, a small sweat bead appeared on Frank’s face. What does he mean? He couldn’t help but gulp his saliva in fear.
Frank Lambert thought it was not good to hide from Brent Dale. Since his actions against Vincent Carey are known to everyone. If he lies now, it will be detrimental to him.
Then he raised his head to look at Brent Dale before saying, “Yes, I want him dead. But I don’t know why you are asking that?”
“Ha…Ha..Ha…,” Brent Dale let out a small laugh before saying, “Well, if that’s what you want, then our goal is pretty much the same.”
“What?” Frank Lambert looked at him with excited eyes. He knew his instincts were right. Brent Dale has the same thought as him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here before his final duel against Vincent Carey.
Seeing Frank’s excited expression. Brent Dale sneered inwardly. He just wanted to use small tricks against Vincent before the duel. For which he needs some helper to do it.
That’s what the purpose of visiting here is. The next moment, his eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He takes out a small vial from the storage bracelet. This small veil has colorless powder in it.
Brent Dale grinned while looking at the small veil. This colorless powder is essential for his plan.
On the other hand, Frank Lambert was dazed for a moment when he saw the small vial. He realized this must be the real purpose of Brent Dale’s visit.
“I want you to use this vial on Vincent Carey secretly,” Brent Dale stopped after saying that. He doesn’t want to explain more than that.
Frank Lambert’s expression turned ugly. Sure, he understood Brent Dale’s purpose. Another party wants to use him as a tool. For a moment, Frank Lambert hesitated a little bit.
He doesn’t completely believe Brent Dale. Who knows he might be used as a scapegoat. His expression becomes a little complicated after realizing the situation.
On the other hand, his expression didn’t go unnoticed under Brent Dale’d eyes. “What?”
“You don’t want to see Vincent’s dead body?” Brent Dale asked back in confusion. But he sneered inwardly. He wants to use Vincent Carey’s name to instigate him.
Sure, next he sees some firm determination in Frank’s eyes.
Frank Lambert’s mood changed after hearing Brent Dale’s words. Currently, his family is showing a wait and watch attitude. Which left him very disappointed.
So he don’t want to miss this opportunity before him. But before that, he asked, “Can you at least tell me about the vial?”
Brent Dale chuckled. He answered, “Don’t worry, this small vial won’t directly kill Vincent”
“At least not before the final duel against me,” Brent Dale added further.
“Phew,” Frank Lambert finally exhaled in relief.
He understands Brent Dale’s intentions. Then finally after adjusting his mood. He nodded his head to Brent Dale’s plan.
But Brent Dale was displeased in his heart. It took him some minutes to convince this piece of sh!t. But in order not to jeopardize his goal. He responded with a smile.
Then before leaving Brent Dale handed the small vial to him. He can’t simply waste time here. People must be looking for him. So he left in a hurry.
On the other hand, Frank Lambert stood motionless for some seconds. Then he sat back in his seat to think further. He can’t simply go and greet Vincent Carey all of a sudden.
Now he needs to find a suitable way to approach other parties. He began to ponder deeply.
…
(From MC’s perspective)
I left home after talking to my parents. I wore a mask to cover my identity. This time for the final duel, my family decided to come and watch at the school arena.
In order not to attract attention, I made up my mind to leave before them. Also, Elder John Meyers must be secretly protecting my family.
So I’m not worried about their safety.
20 minutes later,
I reached my school. But the atmosphere in front of the school made me gobsmacked. The sheer number of people gathered here almost blocked the traffic.
Even the flying cars were not allowed to land in front of the school. I gazed at the number of flying cars. No doubt, these different luxurious flying cars are from different mage families.
Realizing that, I sighed inwardly. To think the final duel has attracted so much attention. I couldn’t help but be amazed at myself.
Then I passed through the crowd to reach the school gate. After entering inside, I slowly walked towards the arena. My eyes scanned the surroundings.
Fatty Lucas might be waiting near the arena. After figuring it out, I directly head towards the arena.
Swish!
On the way, my masked look attracted a lot of attention. Including the head of the security guard. But he easily saw through my identity. After revealing a small smile, he let me pass ahead.
I nodded in response before walking towards the arena. Finally, when I reached closer towards the arena. I spotted a familiar silhouette.
He is not a fatty Lucas but Frank Lambert. He is standing in front of the entrance. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I had never expected his presence for this final duel.
Looking at his behavior, it feels like he wants to meet someone.
Instead of stopping suddenly, I decided to monitor him secretly. But before I could make further plans. I saw fatty Lucas coming towards me. There is also Timothy and Palmer behind him.
“This guy,” Fatty easily recognised me. But I don’t want to expose myself. So I raised my hand to stop him.
Then I noticed Frank Lambert was looking in another direction. Using this opportunity, I sent a quick message to fatty before entering the arena.
It’s a pity that I don’t know what Frank is going through here. Then shaking my head, I walked towards the participants’ area. The arena is already filled with a crowd.
Seeing that my expression became solemn. Looks like it’s time for me to get serious. Brent Dale uh? A quick glint flashed in my eyes.
On the other hand, Lucas Brad read the message. Then he understood what was going on. Before coming here, he realized not everyone from the class came to watch the duel.
But after reading the message, it made him frown.
“Lucas, what happened?” Timothy asked. He doesn’t know why he has stopped all of a sudden.
Palmer noticed something strange. Earlier, he spotted a person wearing a mask looking over them for some reason.
Hearing that Lucas Brad smiled in response. But he didn’t explain, rather he looked in Frank Lambert’s direction.
Coincidentally, Frank Lambert recognised them in an instant. The next moment, Frank Lambert walked up to Lucas Brad and asked, “Lucas, where is Vincent?”
Timothy and Palmer immediately recognised the person. They couldn’t help but step backwards in fear. Who doesn’t know 4th rank wizard Frank Lambert? 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lucas Brad’s heart skips a beat. This is the first time Frank Lambert took the initiative to speak to him. Sure, something is strange. No wonder, brother Vincent asked me to monitor him.
These were just his inner thoughts. He didn’t dare to show up in front of Frank Lambert. So in response, he replied politely, “Ahem, Brother Vincent might be on his way here.”
“I don’t know why brother Frank is asking me?”
A cold glint flashed in Frank Lambert’s eyes. It was for a moment. But it disappeared quickly. Then he jokingly said, “Ha…Ha…Ha..”
“It’s nothing. I’m just excited for the final duel,” after saying that he gently touched the small vial in his pocket.
He couldn’t help but feel nervous. The time for the final duel is getting near and before that, he has to meet Vincent Carey.
He knows Brent Dale is scarier than Danny Quinn. Earlier he had expected Danny Quinn to take some action. But to his surprise, Brent Dale came forward with some plan.
On the other hand, Lucas Brad smiled in response. But his heart was not calm at all. Frank Lambert is looking forward to the final duel. He sneered inwardly.
There is no way he would do that. There is some kind of ulterior motive behind this. Realizing this, Lucas decided to inform brother Vincent right away.
“Alright, brother Frank. We are going to enter the arena. So see you later,” after saying that he signaled Timothy and Palmer behind him.
Frank Lambert frowned. But he didn’t stop them. Then finally he decided to wait for a while before going to the participants’ area.
He knows in the end, Vincent Carey has to come inside. So there will be some opportunities later.
On the other hand, Lucas Brad and the group entered the arena. Lucas Brad looked in the direction of the participants’ area. He can’t go to that side. So hurriedly sent a message back to brother Vincent.
“Let’s go,” after sending the message. The group head towards their seat.
