Chapter 748 Deterrence
The appearance of the powerhouse on the outskirts of the Capital City has alarmed major forces. Not even the evil factions dare to allow the powerhouse in their organization to appear outside.
If that happens then the righteous faction would team up to room them out. Now the powerhouse of the righteous faction has appeared. It alarmed the evil faction's spies.
They immediately shared the news with their respective organizations. So do the spies from other factions.
In the blink of an eye, the news reached the ears of important people.
Royal Force Hall:
The dean with a majestic appearance was shocked by the news. Not long ago, they tried to take advantage of the chaos and attempted to kill the wizard seed of the Yellow River Academy.
But he didn't expect that particular seed to have a powerful backer behind him. A cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knows the prestige of the powerhouse. Even for a Supreme-level wizard like him. It's not easy to meet the powerhouse of their academy.
Unless in a dire situation, no one seeks their presence. Now such a thing has happened. The dean decided to consult with the powerhouse of the Royal Force Hall.
Who knows if the powerhouse of Yellow River Academy seeks revenge, then it would be disastrous.
Similarly,
The Weapon Palace Academy has changed its plan as well. They moved the name of Vincent Carey to the top of their rival list. And marked the person as not to be offended.
They have decided to share the news with top-level management as well as the genius wizard students.
It's not wise to offend Vincent Carey unless they have a similar backlink behind them. Powerhouses are not cabbages. Most of the powerhouses won't stand in support of a single student.
But they know the situation in the Yellow River Academy. The Sub-Taboo Hall is different. Because they got fewer members. So the support and backing of the powerhouse is not that surprising.
But the other 2 academies are different.
Apart from 2 academies, other major forces including the auction house and other business organizations updated the information of Vincent Carey.
Even the seemingly neutral faction the Adventurer Union for the first time paid attention to the name Vincent Carey. They have business all over the world.
So the name of high-ranking wizards is not enough for them to consider. Even the Level-10 Supreme Wizards are considered to be persons of respect in the Adventurer Union.
But the powerhouses are different. Even in a single wizard country, the powerhouse's existence can be counted in single digits.
So this time apart from the Yellow River Academy, the name of Vincent Carey became popular in their inner circles.
Not only that, the adventurer union management also followed the news. Their own trained spies are sharing intel from time to time.
Now they have become clear about one thing. The incident took place in Beluz City, Velbor City, and Bamboo City, and the recent incident in Willow City is connected to Vincent Carey.
The top management is certain that some forces were after that kid's life. They felt no wonder that the powerhouse took action this time.
This move will warn others. Unless someone can handle the anger of the powerhouse, no other small force would find trouble with that kid.
Similarly, conversations were taking place everywhere.
Shadow Skull:
When the news reached the Shadow Skull. The level-8 administrator was pissed off. This was the 1st high-level failure for them.
The mission was supported to be easy. But in the end, they lost the life of a level-7 wizard. The administrator frowned. The Castle owner has decided to punish the triple killer later.
But the triple killer has died under someone else's hands. This would further enrage the castle owner.
The level-8 administrator sighed. This news is not something he can hide. So he stood up from his seat and went to meet the castle owner.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the entrance of the illuminated cave-like structure. Before he could speak, he felt the restriction was removed.
He then walked inside. But there was no one inside.
The next second, he heard a voice.
"What happened?"
Hearing that his expression is dignified before he starts explaining.
A few minutes later,
"Finally, we encountered an obstacle. What's the strength of the enemy."
The castle owner's voice sounded again.
"The enemy is an academy powerhouse. He seems to be a backer of the mission target," The level-8 administrator replied.
There was silence for a moment.
"I knew it. Now I understand why a high-ranking figure wants the life of a mere level-5 wizard."
"There seems to be an internal power struggle. And the target was just the chess piece." The voice sounded again.
The level-8 administrator was enlightened. No wonder the client sought help from a foreign force like them.
But the situation is different now. Since we know the strength of the enemy. Any action from now on would offend the enemy for real.
"Drop the mission and cut off contact with the client."
"If we continue this particular mission, it would increase the risk of our exposure." the castle owner's voice sounded again.
Hearing that administrator nodded his head in understanding before leaving the place.
But the castle owner's voice sounded again in the cave.
"Harumph"
"My organization was built on reputation. If the Intel of failure gets out, it would affect the organization's growth."
"I should wait for the turmoil to end before seeking revenge."
After a few minutes, the whole cave became like no one had been there for ages.
...
From MC's perspective:
After a few hours, I arrived at the old route. I see many caravans slowly moving towards the City Wall.
Apart from the caravans, there are also adventurer groups who are walking by road. Seeing that I appeared from the bushes and joined the road as well.
My appearance didn't attract much attention. Except for a few glances from the adventurer groups. Even if they have an idea of hitting me. They won't dare to do it here.
So I started walking on the road like others.
On the other hand, one of the adventurer groups has a different idea. They are looking for a suitable target to rob.
It's just they didn't find an opportunity to target the caravans. But now they have a lone target. The adventurers looked at each other before 5 of them stopped moving forward.
Seeing that those caravan bosses got alerted. Instead of confronting them, they ordered their men to drive fast.
In the blink of an eye, the particular part of the road became deserted. The other adventurer groups seem aware of the identity of these cruel adventurer groups. So they have left a spot as well.
On the other hand, I sighed inwardly. I thought I had made the correct judgment. But still, some people mistook me for a soft permission.
Then I saw through their strength by using the system.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
"So they are capable," I said in my heart. The leader is a level-5 wizard and the group members are level-4 wizards.
Their strength is comparable to the academy students. But the problem is that they are old.
No wonder that they are involved in looting and killing.
"He...He...He...."
"Our trip is not wasted. Hey kid, take out all of your items from your storage bracelet," The middle-aged man said, looking at me.
The other members are smiling ear to ear
"Gravity Field," I cast the magic spell in response.
The next second, a powerful gravitational force descended on the ground. All 5 of them are well within my spell-casting range.
When the force appeared. It immediately hit them hard.
Pfff!
The level-4 wizards got crushed one after another. Blood starts gushing out from some of their mouths.
In a blink of an eye, everyone died except the leader. His life is still hanging on. The leader was terrified.
He thought the target was nobody. But he never expected to kick an iron plate. The person was pretending to be a pig.
Before he could do anything else. The gravity power broke his final defense. The last lingering vitality disappeared from his body.
When everyone died. I removed the spell before looking around. There was no one around here.
Even those caravan bosses and other adventurer groups wouldn't have expected me to win.
After removing the traces, I resumed walking.
Not long after, I came across other groups who were surprised to see me. The next second, I saw a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
No one is looking at me in the same way.
Soon, the City Wall came into view. But it's nighttime. Instead of going there, I thought about booking the academy aircraft.
After booking, someone will come to pick me up. So I booked.
2 hours later,
A mid-sized aircraft landed on the ground. There is an academy logo printed on its side. Seeing that I let go of my worry, before approaching the aircraft.
After showing my identity, I entered inside.
Shortly after, the aircraft rose and started moving back to the academy.
