Chapter 726 Triple Killer's 2nd chance
From MC's perspective:
Velbor City,
The elite adventurers started to look for the stranger. Some went to check the guest rooms and bathroom.
Seeing that no one was there. The adventurers walked out of the shop.
"Who is he?"
"How come he slipped away before our eyes?' The middle-aged man said to himself.
Everyone's expression was full of disbelief. They should have caught that person. Strangely, the person disappeared after entering the shop.
Everyone looked at each other. The middle-aged man who was the leader of the group turned towards one of the members and asked, "Did you see anything?"
"No, that man was out of my range. I wasn't able to use my magic," He said.
Hearing that a hint of disappointment flashes in the leader's eyes. The next second, some reminded him other adventurers were going away after coming out of the wilderness.
Seeing that the group hurried back to the wilderness entrance to continue their inspection.
On the other hand, the reporters who are eager to get the news are surprised as well. They didn't expect them to return empty-handed.

Meanwhile,
I sat in the control room and looked at the mirror. I began to ponder whether to appear sometime later or at night time.
If I go out now, people might recognize me. So I decided to appear at night.
Time files,
At night, I appeared outside. I was standing inside the bathroom. There were no lights here.
Creak!
After opening the door, I walked out. Then I spread my mental power to check if anyone was here. Seeing that the surroundings were safe.
I walked up to the exit. It's not that difficult to break the lock. After walking out of the shop, I looked around me.
There are no pedestrians on the street. Then I started walking towards the nearest hotel. While walking, I checked my clothes and mask. Both were new.
Morning appearance must have registered in people's minds. If someone caught me with the same appearance. It might cause unknown difficulties.
Soon, I reached the big hotel. After booking the room, I got the key.
At night time, there are no people's activities right now. Despite this, the place is known for being active day and night. Maybe the recent incidents had an impact.
When that adventurer told me the news before. I didn't have time to reflect. Now I'm sure that everything is connected to me.
Things started to change when I walked into the wilderness.
By that time, I had arrived before the room.
Creak!
After entering inside, I sat on the comfy sofa and felt relaxed. The comforts washed over me.
Suddenly, I thought of something before unmuting my notification.
Then I saw a lot of missed calls and unread messages.
Seeing that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I didn't respond to them. Because I don't want my whereabouts to be leaked in any way.
But still, these hostile forces have managed to get here.
Then I pushed down these thoughts before calling Senior Gilbert.
When the call is connected. I heard a surprised voice.
"Vincent, are you back?"
Hearing that I started updating him with details excluding the information on the underground cave and mana pond.
A few minutes later,
"Sigh"
I heard a long sigh.
"I don't know what to say but you are extremely lucky to stay alive right now," Gilbert Reese said from the other end.
Hearing that my mouth twitches.
"According to our intel, there are a lot of forces in the Velbor City. People are thinking that they are there for the wilderness. But it's not."
"Most of them are looking for you. That's why it attracted the attention of the Adventurer Union. So get out of there as soon as possible," he added.
"Senior, I don't know who is targeting me. Is it the bloodline hall again" I asked back.
"It's hard to tell. There are multiple forces in operation. Someone must have commissioned them and we are looking into this matter."
"So your job is to get back here safely. When you reach closer to Capital City, then call me. I guess after the previous incident some of them haven't learned their lesson," He said.
We ended the call a few minutes later. These hostile forces are pestering me like annoying flies. Which gives me a headache. As long as there is no level-7 wizard after me. I can handle things smoothly.
Then I went to take a bath.
The following day,
An interesting piece of news caught everyone's attention.
[Elite Adventurers' got fooled]
[Someone teased Adventurer Union's Elite members.]
[Embarrassing day!]
Below are the headlines. Everyone saw the small articles written. At first, no one paid any attention to it. But later, people seem to realize that.
The article is related to the Adventurer Union.
After reading the article, residents took it as fun. Some serious people thought the stranger must be covering up his identity.
If it gets exposed by the adventurer team, then his life might be in danger.
Meanwhile,
The triple killer lost his composure. Because he has seen the mask and the attire before. So he was sure that the person was Vincent Carey.
After reading the article, he didn't waste any time before storming into the coffee shop in the morning. His level-7 coercion and unusual attire scared everyone.
The customers are residents and adventurers. After feeling the coercion of a high-ranking wizard. Everyone knelt on the ground.
Because no wizard in their right mind would use their magic in public. Especially the wizards from the white faction. So at this moment, everyone's imagination is running wildly.
If it's an evil wizard then their life is in danger.
The triple killer snorted coldly before asking, "Who is the owner here?"
Behind the desk, a fat boss is avoiding his gaze. His entire body is trembling in fear.
