Chapter 645 Fooling others
From MC's perspective:
Gilbert Reese entered the station in search of Vincent. When he saw the plight of the ordinary people. His expression changes drastically.
He instantly realizes other forces are working here. Vincent could be hiding anywhere. Then he tries to contact Vincent.
But the call was not getting connected at all.
By the time, the Weapon Palace Wizards have entered the station. Looking at the terrified people on the ground.
They immediately started their inquiry. While their leader Andrew was looking at Gilbert. His task was to eliminate the target.
But he doesn't know the target's current location. Right now, he can only find the target by following Gilbert Reese.
Suddenly, he saw Gilbert start moving. Seeing that he instructed his friends to take care of them.
They came to help people and subdue the rogue wizards. The others quickly agreed to it. On the other hand, he starts to follow Gilbert Reese.
Meanwhile,
The dark league's bloodthirsty wizard lost his cool. He has searched the nook and corner of the platforms. But still, there was no sign of Vincent Carey.
He had gone on to use the precious blood rule. Yet the result disappointed him. He couldn't help but wonder whether the target had escaped.
If it's true, then he has been wasting time alone. He doesn't want to return empty-handed. He had dreamt about getting the rewards for this mission.
If he goes back then his rating would be dropped. Next time, the organization won't consider him for an important mission.
So a lot of things are riding on this task. Before coming here, he thought it was an easy task. But now he understands the difficulty.
He underestimated the target earlier. To think he was protected by the academy. And they are willing to send level-7 wizards to rescue them.
The image of Gilbert Reese comes to mind.
"Wait a minute!"
"Gilbert must be here"
"And the target must be with him. If I can find him, then I can kill the target," He said to himself.
After gaining some clarity, he started to look for Gilbert.
Not long after,
Gilbert comes to the platform, where Vincent had stepped out from the Blue Leaf City's train.
But he didn't search immediately. Rather, he waits for a while. Shortly after, the weapon place wizard Andrew makes his appearance.
A cold glint flashes in Gilbert's eyes.
He knew it. These people had no good intentions. Ignoring him, he started to look for Vincent.
On the other hand, Andrew frowned. He thought Gilbert knew Vincent's whereabouts. But Gilbert is running around here and there.
For a second, he became hesitant. He doesn't know whether it's okay to follow him. Because there is a chance for the target to be rescued by someone else.
Then he shook his head before continuing to follow Gilbert. After a few minutes, another person joined them.
The person is none other than a bloodthirsty wizard. Unlike Andrew, he was not bold. He is keeping his movements secret.
If his identity is exposed, then everyone will turn against him. So he was cautious in his movements.
In the Gregor Mansion,
I'm having conflicting thoughts on whether to appear outside or not. Usually, in this type of scenario. I appear at night time to escape.
But the problem is Gilbert must be looking for me.
Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.
I began to type the message. I'm going to let him know that I will return to the academy alone.
But he has to make sure that there must be continuous movement of the vehicles between the academy and the capital city. noVe.1B-1n
Swish~
After typing the message, I appeared outside and sent the message to Gilbert.
Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion again.
A seconds later,
Gilbert Reese checks the unread message. Seeing that it was from Vincent, he sighed in relief.
But after reading the message, his eyes flickered. He was very much surprised. He doesn't know where Vincent's confidence comes from.
So many high-level wizards pose a threat to Vincent. But Vincent was calm and composed. Gilbert doesn't know what to say for a moment.
At the same time, he knows that he is being followed. Even if Vincent appears, it would pose a threat to his life.
He also understands the later part of the message. Vincent wants an increase in vehicle traffic.
He might be planning to enter one of those. After gaining some clarity, he decides to return to the academy.
Gilbert quickly moves towards the exit. Which immediately surprised Andrew and the bloodthirsty wizard.
"Is the target outside?"
Both of them have the same thoughts.
Andrew and the bloodthirsty wizard exploded with great speed.
Rumble~
The building starts to shake for a moment. The high-level wizard's movements have caused a tremor.
Any more severe movement would damage the building.
Gilbert Reese's eyes turned cold. Two silhouettes went past him all of a sudden.
One of them he knew was Andrew. The other one must be the rogue wizard.
He can understand why the rogue groups are targeting Vincent. Because they are working for someone or some organization.
But what's with this Andrew guy? Instead of helping the civilians. He has been following him.
The Weapon Palace Wizard's motive is unkind.
On the other hand, Andrew and the bloodthirsty wizard enter the street. But the next second, they don't see any sign of Vincent Carey.
"Where is the kid?"
"Don't tell me he is playing," The bloodthirsty wizard uttered in a dissatisfied tone.
Both of them are standing in the mid-air.
Though Andrew composed himself quickly. It took him some seconds to realize there was somebody beside him.
When he saw the face. He frowned. The high-level wizard is a stranger. Andrew confirms he doesn't belong to any of the 3 big academies.
Then he must be the wizard from the rogue faction.
Feeling the gaze of Andrew, the bloodthirsty wizard squinted his eyes. He doesn't want to end up having conflict with the 3 big academy wizards.
