Chapter 740 Ambush?
From MC's perspective:
The next morning,
I appeared outside after getting ready. "Senior Gilbert will arrive in a few minutes," I muttered to myself before looking at the hotel.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. I guess people must have been disappointed by my disappearance last night.
So many of them waited for me to appear. But I have poured cold water into their ambition. The images of Barbershop destruction come to mind.
The next second, I raised my hand and began to access the news on my communication watch.
When the news page appeared. I looked at the news headlines. A hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes. As I have guessed there is no news about the Barber Shop whatsoever.
It's easy to guess the thoughts of local authorities. Shaking my head, I removed the unnecessary thoughts in my mind.
Not long after, I spotted a white color dot coming towards me. In the blink of an eye, the white dot became large.
Then I saw the figure of Senior Gilbert. In a few steps, he landed before me.
He observed me from top to bottom before asking me, "Why are you standing here?"
Hearing that I replied, "Well, I spent my last night hiding here. There are a lot of eyes staring at the hotel. So I didn't want my whereabouts to be exposed."
Gilbert Reese's eyes flickered. He didn't ask casually. There is a good reason for it. Earlier, he got information from the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Someone blew up the Dark League's local branch. Which is tantamount to hitting the dark league's face. That's why he wondered whether the attacker had anything to do with Vincent.
Because it was not a secret anymore that members from the dark league were after Vincent's life too.
But hearing that there was no connection. He sighed inwardly. He didn't have any more time to dwell on this issue.
He had been delayed by schemes of hostile forces. He just wants to return to the academy safely with Vincent as soon as possible.
"Do you have anything to get?"
"We should leave right away," Gilbert asked.
"Senior, there is nothing in the hotel room. My items are with me," I answered.
Gilbert nodded before grabbing Vincent's shoulder. The next second, he exploded with great speed.
In a few seconds, he reached Bamboo City's runway. Where the high-end aircraft was parked.
Both of them landed before the aircraft.
On the other hand, looking at the high-end luxurious aircraft. I was stunned for a moment. I thought this product was not used in transportation.
Gilbert Reese saw through his thoughts and said, "We can use the aircraft in emergencies."
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me. Not long after, I saw the staff and pilot.
After their arrival, Senior Gilbert urged them to get ready.
A few minutes later,
The high-end aircraft rose from the ground and started moving towards the Academy.
Inside the aircraft, we are sitting opposite to each other. I couldn't help but notice his expression.
Senior Gilbert looked rather tense for some reason. He is a level-7 wizard. Hardly anyone is an opponent of him on the same level. What could be worrying him?
I told the liberty to ask, "Senior, what happened?"
Gilbert's thoughts returned to reality.
Looking at Vincent, he let out a sigh before saying, "Our journey is not going to be smooth. I hope no level-8 wizard will interfere."
But his words fell like a thunderclap in my ears.
"What a level-8 wizard?" I uttered in surprise.
Such an existence can easily destroy the city. Because they control half of the law power. The law gives them the ability to cause great destruction.
On top of it, their mana fluctuations are harmful to regular humans and low-level wizards. So they rarely leave their organization to appear in the low-tier cities.
"I think you have guessed it already," Gilbert said.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
"I'm not sure. But it's better to be careful. Already, a level-7 unknown wizard has failed twice to kill you."
"If the organization behind that person sends a level-8 wizard to kill you. Then I won't be surprised," Gilbert said.
"Am I worthy of a level-8 wizard to take action?" I asked. The situation seems unreal. Why are high-end forces of the organization moving to kill a kid?
Gilbert's eyes flickered with complex emotions. To be honest, they didn't even think a level-7 was going to attack Vincent Carey.
Utmost, they thought a level-6 wizard could extend his hands. That's why Elder Galvin gave his Grade-8 artifact to Vincent. With that, he can protect his life against level-6 wizards.
But level-7 wizards and above are different. They have their strength and artifacts. With them, they can easily kill Vincent.
It was a miracle that Vincent was able to escape alive twice. Adding the feats archived in the Meteor Country, it can be said that Vincent has good luck.
Even for him, it's not easy to fight against a Veteran level-7 wizard. Especially the old monsters who are looking for an opportunity to break through.
That's why he is troubled by these thoughts. Looking at Vincent, he said, "Don't worry, if a level-8 wizard appears, I will find a way out for you."
Hearing that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Even if the Supreme Wizard appears to kill me, I can easily hide in the Gregor Mansion.
Which is the greatest source of my safety. But these things can't be said to others.
Then I thought of something and asked, "Are there any wicked wizards waiting for me in the Capital City?"
"Last time, they attacked the station. I don't know what they are going to do this time?"
Gilbert Reese revealed a small smile before saying, "Actually, the Capital City is safer this time. After the last incident, various measures have been taken."
"It's not easy for strangers to enter the city. Even though they are from the white faction. They have to undergo a lot of vetting processes."
"That's why we have to be careful on our way back to the academy."
Hearing that I nodded my head before closing my eyes. He doesn't know that I'm not worried about my safety but their safety.
But I have to say with their presence, I don't have to work hard to reach the Academy.
A few hours later,
"Here, take this potion. It will hide your presence for one hour," Gilbert said.
Hearing that I opened my eyes and looked at him with confusion.
"The aircraft is going to fly over one of the big cities. The force behind this city is enemy of our academy."
"There might be ambushes waiting for us here. So you should consume this potion right now," Gilbert Reese said.
His look told me the situation was serious. So I dare not gamble. I took the potion and consumed it in one go. If there was danger hidden in the potion, the system would have warned me.
So the product was safe. After a few seconds, I found that my presence was erased.
"What a miracle potion!" I uttered in surprise.
But compared to the system's ability, it's nothing.
"Good," Gilbert said. Now he can concentrate on other things. He got up from the seat and went to the cockpit to see the pilot.
I looked in his direction before turning towards the system.
System, show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

A row of information appeared before my eyes. There was no change in attributes. Which means the potion didn't cause any damage to my body.
After closing the status panel, I looked through the window.
In the distance, a majestic city appeared on the ground below. I guess this was the city, Senior Gilbert talked about.
If I go out alone in the future, I should be wary of such cities. They are not afraid of Yellow River Academy.
