Chapter 445 Escaped!
From MC's perspective:
I didn't react until the level-6 wizard disappeared from the place. He took the old man with him.
Sigh~
A soft sigh left my mouth. I sat down on the chair and looked at the outside scene.
Swoosh~
I appeared back in the carriage and opened the window slightly to take a look outside.
The street was deserted. The corpse of the escort team members lay on the ground. Including the corpse of the escort team captain whose eyes still showed the sign of terror.
This tragedy happened in the blink of an eye.
The customers inside the inn weren't even aware of it.
Looking at the deaths of these people. I felt sorry for a moment before I regained my trace of clarity. Now my expression has recovered back to normal.
I'm not a savior. Just like everyone I'm working hard to survive. I could have confronted and killed the level-6 wizard.
But doing that would only expose me to further killing attempts. It also means breaking off ties with the bloodline hall.
It would only lead to a restless life. I don't want to break the ties until I reach level 7 wizard or above.
By then I'm confident enough to confront the entire bloodline hall. My indifferent cold attitude is more aligned with the dark faction.
But I know the white faction and dark faction are just names. Both of them are involved in both heinous and good work.
It's hard to pick which one is right. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts. Now I have to plan the next course of action.
I opened the door and walked out of the carriage. Then I immediately walked away from this place.
I'm heading towards the gateway. I decided to enter one of the carriages which are leaving. Then I will hide in Gregor Mansion.
On the way, I couldn't help but think of Melina. That woman must have sold the news. What a corrupt official!
I never expected such a variable to appear. But fortunately, I was able to hide in the Gregor Mansion. No existence can sense my presence.
Thinking about the mental scanning earlier. My eyes grew cold. At first, I'm not sure about the opposite wizard. But when he used a wolf claw transformation of his hand.
A sudden realization dawned upon me.
It's a wolf bloodline and that person is from the Burnett family. As I guessed earlier, Tony used his family force against me.
A few minutes later,
I reached the road which leads to the border gateway. I can already see so many vehicles lined up in the queue.
At a distance, I can see patrol police scanning each vehicle.
Then my eyes pass through each carriage. I want to find an empty one.
At the same time, people are standing next to their carriages. Either they are simply protecting the goods or talking to their colleagues.
But in any case, it's hard to find empty carriages.
Suddenly, I overheard some conversation.
"We need extra carriages to load the goods."
"Hurry up, find one before the border police come here."
Hearing that I turned toward the source of the voice. I saw a middle-aged man with an ugly expression scolding his servants. But his expensive clothes tell me that he might be a wealthy businessman.
Seeing that I decided to follow the servant.
Shortly after, the servant arrived at the shop. Where old carriages are kept. The servant immediately went to talk to the owner.
At the same time, I walked up to the carriages. There are not many carriages in good condition.
Many of the carriages that I'm seeing are without wheels. Then my attention turned toward a little expensive carriage. Where amazing body work is done on it.
When I saw the wheel. My eyes lit up with surprise. This carriage looks alright and ready for sale. I don't know what the servant will do.
But I think he will choose this carriage to impress the boss. My mouth curves into arcs.
Before anyone saw me, I decided to enter the carriage.
Creak~
I opened the door and entered inside.
Seeing the white cushion with a golden design on it. It looked pleasing to my eyes.
When I was appreciating the artwork.
I heard two different voices negotiating fiercely.
"The Golden Carriage's price is 50 gold bars."
"No less, it's a set price. If you want it, you can take it away right now," an old man negotiating fiercely with the servant.
The servant's face darkened. But when he saw the beautiful carriage which was ready to leave. He took a deep breath and agreed to the deal.
Right now, he wants to pacify his master. What could be more appropriate than buying this carriage? Though he bought the money from his master to purchase.
But the selection rested with him in the end. With a gleeful smile on his face, he took the metal box from his storage bracelet. And gave it to the old lady.
The successful negotiation caused the old lady to smile as well. When she opened the box 50 bright gold bars were kept inside.
A look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. Then after talking a few words to the client, she walked back to her shop.
Meanwhile,
"Gold bars," I uttered in surprise. I thought people stopped using gold bars a long time ago. But it looks like the reality was different.
I'm still at a backward place with a pitiful amount of mana in the surrounding area. So this place missed the road to development.
It's already surprising that people are doing business here. It might be due to the migration of lower-level wizards.
The Blessed land, Capital, and places filled with abundant mana were only for high-level wizards.
The low level can't possibly survive there. And they can't also mix with regular humans. Which will disrupt society. Unless the government manages to make some balance.
Like my hometown. Coexistence is possible.
But at the same time, I know the forces don't want such a thing to happen. The wicked wizards might do something to the regular humans.
Information control is strict in the country. Shaking my head, I turned my attention towards the outside.
I saw the servant coming with the horse.
Swoosh~
The next second, I appeared in Gregor Mansion.
The servant drove back the carriage. After a few minutes, he stepped outside and hurriedly walked to meet his master.
Seeing the development outside, a small appeared on my face. Now no one can stop me from entering the Tolu Country.
Then I sat back on the chair to relax. I don't know whether any level-7 wizard is after me.
So I decided to consume treasure to raise my attributes further. But before that, I looked at the status again.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

Meanwhile,
Paul Burnett met with someone who specializes in mind magic. He handed the old man over to him to gather information.
Then he contacted Cortez.
When the call was connected. An impatient voice sounded from the other side.
"What?"
"Did you find the target?"
Cortez asked.
Paul got black lines on his forehead.
"Elder, wait a second," Paul said before explaining things to him.
After a few minutes, he added further, "I'll get the information within a few minutes."
Cortez was disappointed but it can't be helped. They have to wait until they receive concrete information.
Shortly after,
The old man completely spilled the beans. When the information reached Paul's ears. He is now 100% sure the missing person is their target.
But sadly the old man lost his life in the end. His old body wasn't about to handle the mental toll.
Paul then immediately shared the information with Cortez. From the old man's mouth, they know the target escaped right before the inspection.
So Paul and his team immediately began to search the nook and corner of Rust City.
While Cortez is strictly monitoring the gateway. And other small groups are helping as well.
