Chapter 283 Preparation
(From MC's perspective)
Even after going through old articles about Brent Dale, I wasn't able to find the necessary information. How come there is no news about his magic power?
In Particular, I searched for articles about the awakening ceremony which had happened two years ago. At that ceremony, Brent Dale awakened his gravity magic.
But shortly after his information was erased. Even some suspect that the information displayed at the awakening ceremony was falsified.
"Sigh"
In these two years, no one had forced him to display his full power. Which shows how strong he is in class. Then retracting my thoughts, I closed the site.
Anyway, even without knowing his information. I can still win the duel. Then I decided to head to the kitchen to have some food.
Sometimes later,
Elder John came back to visit me.
Inside my room,
"Elder, do you have something to tell me?" I asked. I'm surprised by his sudden visit. I thought we would regroup tomorrow.
John Meyer let out a small sigh before saying," Where were you last night?"
Hearing that, my heart skips a beat.
I realized he must have monitored my house last night. So it's not wise to hide from him. Then I replied, "I went to the city's wilderness last night."
John Meyers' eyes lit up with surprise. He hadn't expected this kid to be so daring. To visit the wilderness openly amidst the surrounding chaos. One must have some confidence.
Then he looked at him with a hint of approval before saying, "You are right. Last night your family was targeted by rogue wizards."
Hearing that my expression turned cold. Is it Frank? Or Danny? Then I look at him for an answer?
John Meyer started to say without hiding anything, "It was done by the Quinn family. I already let someone warn them from the academy. So hereafter there will be no trouble from their side.
...
The Quinn family,
Joe Quinn is inquiring about the old butler's task status. But the old butler revealed a bitter expression on his face. Earlier he had contacted the tavern boss. But in response, he got a vague answer.
Now the family head is asking him. He stood helpless. He doesn't know what the tavern boss is doing right now. At this point, the mission should have been completed.
Joe Quinn said with a stern face, "You go to that tavern and see what is happening there?"
His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He doesn't know what happened to his old butler. But he didn't doubt the mission.
The old butler nodded his head before walking out of the study room. The next moment his expression becomes gloomy. Strangely he feels the tavern boss is not right.
Then without wasting any time, he heads towards the exit gate.
Several minutes later,
The old butler reached the tavern spot located in his neighborhood. After walking into the tavern, he sees empty chairs and tables. The silence made him realize something was wrong.
He hurriedly walked towards the tavern boss's room.
Creak
After entering inside, he sees no one there. What is more strange is that? The other material things were there inside the room. It's like someone vacated the tavern in a hurry without bringing this stuff with them.
After searching the nook and corner of the tavern, he realized that the tavern boss is gone forever. From his old experiences, he can tell that the tavern boss must have offended someone.
"What to do now?" The old butler sighed to himself.
He felt it would have been better for them to leave after completing their task. Right now, he doesn't know the current update. But strangely it never crossed his mind that the disappearance of the tavern boss is related to their Quinn family task.
Seeing that it's a waste of time to wait here. The old butler decided to head back to the mansion.
On the other hand, Joe Quinn is waiting patiently in his study room.
Beep!
Suddenly, a notification sound brought him back to reality. Then he sees it's a call from a new number.
Without thinking, he immediately picked up the call.
"Hello, it's Joe speaking...." He said in a casual tone.
At first, his face is calm without any worries.
But after hearing the words from another end of the call. His face became discolored and at the same time he got up from his seat in fear.
And he then started to answer while standing.
A few minutes later, when the call ended , he collapsed back into his seat. These few minutes of call overturned his view and he was scared sh!t.
20 minutes later,
The old butler returned to the study room. When he saw the bloodless face of Joe Quinn who was slumped back in his seat. He is shocked to the core.
"Master, what happened to you?" He asked while hurrying towards him to check his body condition.
The old butler then gave a bottle of water for him to drink. Joe Quinn slowly returned to reality. After seeing the familiar face in front of him, he calmed down his heart before saying, "Old butler, we messed up completely."
Joe Quinn uttered without showing a majestic appearance.
The old butler revealed a confused look on his face. He doesn't know what caused the head of the family to speak like this.
Then Joe Quinn collected his thoughts and added further, "I received a call from someone from the Yellow River Academy."
Hearing that old butler's heart set off storms. "Yellow River Academy?" That's the giant academy in the capital. So what does it have to do with the Quinn family?
Before he could ask anything, Joe Quinn said, "They knew about our tavern task."
The old butler gulped his saliva in fear. From this sentence alone he immediately figured out everything. It's related to the Carey family.
So the one behind that kid Vincent Carey is none other than the Yellow River Academy. And they are keeping an eye on that kid.
For a moment the atmosphere turned solemn. The old butler is curious to know what they did in retaliation.
So he asked, "Master, what did they say next?"
At this time, Joe Quinn recovered half. He let out a deep sigh before saying, "They warned us not to touch Vincent and his family. If we do then they will send someone to wipe out our Quinn family's existence."
The old butler sucked a cold breath of air.
He wasn't surprised by the answer. But still, it gave him a huge shock. But thinking about it's just a warning, the old butler sighed in relaxation.
Joe Quinn saw through his thoughts. He said with a bitter smile, "Don't think they won't do anything now."
"Master, what do you mean?" The old butler asked back.
Joe Quinn shook his head and said, "We were too hasty this time. I fear we will be suppressed by other families in the coming days and our business will hit hard."
The old butler suddenly realized something. The people from Yellow River Academy didn't say that they will do something directly. But instead, it can be expected that they will operate in the dark.
For example by supporting the rival family.
Joe Quinn sighed and said, "Alright, we will lay low for a while. Tell Danny not to act rashly. If something happens next, then it will become difficult to even keep our lives alive."
Hearing that old butler nodded his head. One wrong step made their family go back decades of development. He only hopes that the young master will be sensible later.
...
Right now somewhere in the middle of the wilderness. Brent Dale is training relentlessly by fighting against 3rd order monsters.
Swish!
A 3rd order monster-wind wolf is rushing towards him after sensing the demise of other wolves.
When the monster is feet away from him, it raises its claws to attack. But on the other hand, Brent Dale raised his palm casually at the monster and began to chant something.
The next moment, the 3rd-order monster stopped its movements in mid-air and collapsed to the ground the next second.
From beginning to end, it only took a few seconds to kill that monster.
Seeing the dead body of a wind wolf, Brent Dale licked his lips by saying, "My heart crush spell has improved greatly."
The next second the image of Vincent Carey comes to his mind. He sneered thinking about him. He can't wait to use this heart-crushing spell against him.
At a close distance, it's impossible to evade the power of the spell. So in his opinion, Vincent Carey is doomed. On the other hand, he also felt gloomy about revealing his power to the whole world.
His eyes flashed in cold glint thinking about it. But anyway he doesn't have any other choice. He feels overwhelmed by Vincent's gravity magic.
To overcome that he can't rely on his previous method. Like simply using brute force to defeat the opponent.
This time even Danny got planted on his hands. He heard that Danny is still bedridden. And the Quinn family is keeping tight-lipped about it.
This made him realize the strength of Vincent's magic. He has no other choice but to use his magic tomorrow.
A faint flicker flashed in his eyes.
