Chapter 736 Part 1: Bamboo City: Dark League's actions
From MC's perspective:
Bamboo City,
The killer disguised as a janitor was eager to kill. But when he spotted blood on the floor. His expression changes drastically.
"What?" Before he could shout out loud. His entire body was frozen.
"Another low-level killer!" I said in my heart. But this time I have decided to extract some news.
Looking at the horrified expression of the killer.
I asked, "Who ordered you to come here?'
This killer's mental strength was not tough. He broke down in fear.
"Our local branch leader....," Before he could finish his words. A black blood gushes out from his mouth.
Crack!
The next second, I heard the cracking sound of the mana core.
"I was right. There is some kind of ban in his body," I mumbled under my breath. At least, I was able to get some news.
"Local branch head?" My eyes turned cold. Which means there is some evil organization's branch that has a base in this city.
That's why they were able to mobilize this many people quickly. And why are they sending low-level wizards? Maybe I can understand the meaning behind this.
The movement of the high-level wizards would attract attention. Especially after the terrible incident that happened in 2 important cities.
The nearby provinces are alerted as well. So I won't be surprised if there is strict measurement here.
After gaining some clarity, I have decided to go after this local branch. This might seem unnecessary. But I don't like being passive.
When it comes to high-ranking wizards. I have no other choice than to be low-key. But when it comes to the local branch. I have the power to remove it.
Earlier, I thought that the academy would stand up for me. But the academy's internal politics are against me. Only the Sub-Taboo Hall's people are showing support.
But that support also comes with restrictions. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Since I have level-6 strength now. I should remove the local branch before leaving this place.
Then I looked at the time. Gilbert must be on his way. Even if he uses high-speed aircraft, it will take a few hours more to get here.
After figuring it out, I made up my mind to implement the plan.
I looked at the messy floor before placing their body in the Gregor Mansion. Then I started to clean them up.
Outside,
The other killers who are disguised as janitors are checking other rooms.
20 minutes later,
Another killer knocked on the door again.
Creak!
The door opened.
When the killer saw the target's face. He was surprised as well. Before informing others, the killer walked into the room.
He is making the same mistake as the previous killer. They don't want to get caught by the security cameras. So they voluntarily choose to enter the lion's den.
Not long after, the same thing happened with the killer. This time, I carefully asked the location of the local evil branch.
I knew the killer was going to spill the first few words. So I perked up my ears to listen.
"52nd cross street, barber shop..," The killer loses his breath before finishing his words.
Hearing that a bright smile grew on my face. Finally, my tactics worked out. So they are using the barber shop as a disguise.
Then I placed his corpse in the Gregor Mansion. The sky is clear. It's not wise to destroy the base in broad daylight.
And I don't know how many members are waiting outside for me. The local leader must be at least a level-6 wizard. The confrontation might attract unwanted eyes.
I can use my magic spell silently. But it won't be the case for the enemy.
After weighing the options, I have decided to go outside at night. I hope Gilbert won't come early.
As time passed, the remaining killers who were disguised as janitors knocked on the room again.
Every time, I was able to get some bits of information from them. Including the strength of the local branch. Finally, I was able to get the name of their organization.
"Dark League?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"So what about the level-7 unknown wizard?" I asked myself.
"Isn't he part of the dark league?" Doubt appeared in my heart. The more I think about it. The more it becomes confusing.
I shook my head before removing the unnecessary thoughts. "Anyway, it doesn't matter. I will kill whoever plans to kill me," I mumbled under my breath.
Meanwhile,
Gilbert is traveling in a high-end black aircraft. The aircraft is speeding through the skies.
If the pilot maintains the same speed then they will reach the bamboo city in a few hours. But something unexpected happens.
2 unidentified aircraft started following them from behind. Their actions are posing a threat to the black aircraft.
Seeing that the pilot warns Gilbert Reese.
"Who is behind them?" Gilbert uttered in a cold tone.
Then he thought of some possibility. "Don't tell me someone is hindering me. So that they can target Vincent Carey," He said in his heart.
The next second, his expression changes drastically.
"Pilot, land the aircraft in the next city," He said to the pilot. Gilbert himself planned to use different modes of transport.
If he continues to choose to travel via aircraft, then there will be more chances of interference.
Then he contacted Vincent to convey this matter.
Bamboo City:
Time flies,
At night time, I walked out of the hotel. When I entered the street, I felt a lot of gazes on my back. My mouth curved into an arc.
The next second, I started walking towards 52nd Street. On the way, I couldn't help but think of Senior Gilbert. I don't know what happened to him.
All of a sudden, he told me that he would come late a few hours ago. But thanks to him, I can now implement my plan without any worry.
On the other hand, the spies started to follow Vincent Carey. Including the killers from the Dark League. There are still people who had chosen to wait outside earlier.
