Chapter 685 Detecting the Killing Intent
From MC's perspective:
Soon, I reached Abbey Street. As it was described in the news the place was deserted. Apart from one or two people here and there.
I don't see that many people walking down this road. Then I slowly started walking forward. It's also mentioned in the articles that this part of the city has many abandoned flats.
After a few minutes of walking, I finally saw the appearance of the rundown buildings. This area is completely in contrast to the main street of Beluz city.
Normally, such places are in high demand. Authorities usually use these types of places to expand the city. I don't know why this place is unchecked yet.
My heart tells me to explore further. But I stopped my movements. This is my 2nd day here in the city. It is too early to jump to the conclusion.
This place is one of the possible hideouts of the evil organization. So I closed my eyes for a moment before making the decision.
When I opened my eyes. My eyes flickered. There seems to be an academy representative living in this city. The person is responsible for the Academy's affairs regarding the business in this province.
Maybe I could get more information from that person. After gaining some clarity, I turned around to leave.
Just after taking a few steps. I felt sudden heart palpitations. At the same time, the system warned me.
[Ding! Killing intent is detected]
[Host is advised to leave the spot.]
When I heard the mechanical voice. The next second, I get goosebumps all over my body. I quickly controlled my emotions and started walking back to the hotel.
But on the way, my expression was calm. Yet my heart was in turmoil. "Someone is watching my movements," I said in my heart. But I found no one around me.
Which could mean the person is not a low-level wizard. My expression turned grave. Whoever it is? He certainly had killing intentions against me.
Don't tell me the red axis' already been found out about me. When I compare it with previous incidents. There is a certain possibility for the bloodline hall to act again.
Before thinking about it further, I decided to head back to the room soon.
On the other hand, the triple killer showed a disappointed expression. He had waited for Vincent to explore the abandoned building. If he starts doing that, then eventually Vincent would bump into the evil organization.
Now seeing that Vincent is going back instead of exploring further. He revealed a killing intent. He could have killed Vincent on the spot.
But the years of experience made him unable to do without the assurance. So he calmed his mind before removing the killing intent. Now he can only cluelessly follow the target.
20 minutes later, I returned to the main street. And my hotel is a few walks away from here.
After reaching my room, I closed the door. Then I went to the bathroom and closed the door before appearing in the Gregor Mansion.
"Phew"
"What was that?"
"Someone was around me," I started speaking to myself.
If it was my imagination, then what about the system's warning? Clearly, the system's warnings showed me that what happened was real.
Pondering, I sat on the chair. The Gregor Mansion is giving me a sense of protection. I don't know whether the hotel itself is safe or not.
Whoever it is, the person might be a level-6 wizard or above. And I haven't met a single wizard of such level in this city.
But fortunately, the worst hadn't happened. If someone shows up in front of me, I can always use the system to appear here.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to meet the academy person.
Swish!
I appeared outside. After taking a shower, I changed to new clothes again. Sitting down on the sofa, I began to search my contact list.
Meanwhile,
The triple killer once again starts waiting outside of the hotel. He once again thought about a good plan. This time he wants to do something else.
He believes that Vincent Carey didn't think about exploring the abandoned building. But what if a true crime scene takes place and Vincent is on the spot?
Then he would have no choice other than to chase the criminals.
Red Axis:
A few hours later,
The transport of the held captives was taking place smoothly. All of them are unconscious. Usually, they would be killed right after organ removal.
But this time, the level-6 wizard wearing hoarse clothes wants to shift the captured people to different locations.
He strongly feels that their current hideout will be exposed soon. That's why the organization had plan B. They have another hideout that can be used in emergencies.
Suddenly, he thought of something before summoning one of his men.
When the mid-level wizard appeared. He asked,' Has anyone new come to our street?'
Hearing that his men shook his head in denial. After asking a few more questions, he sent him away.
"Why do I get this feeling?' He said to himself. The intuition of a high-level wizard is strong. He is getting the feeling that something bad is going to happen soon.
If not prepared for that he might face a dangerous situation.
On the other hand,
The fat elder of the bloodline hall had sent his clan elders after Vincent Carey. This operation is secretive. No one else knows about it except him.
He had made a great effort to acquire the information from the Taboo Hall. Now he knows Vincent's current whereabouts.
His clan elders are on their way to the city in the Blue Cloud province. They will be there in a few days. Because they had left the clan a few days later compared it to Vincent.
Once they landed there, it would be a matter of time before they finished Vincent Carey. Then his rise to the top in the Bloodline Hall is inevitable. He can then take the leadership position for the council elders once and for all.
Thinking about it, his fat body trembled in happiness.
