Chapter 534 Part 1: Timely Rescue
The female wizard from the weapon hall made up her mind to interrogate them both.
"You two come with me," She said.
Hearing that Tony Burnett sighed inwardly. Even though Weapon Hall's member died, they dare not accuse him in front of everyone.
If they do, it would be tantamount to offending the bloodline hall.
Not only him, Carolina saw through everything. She knows if she is held by the weapon hall, then she won't get any justice.
Considering the bloodline hall's influence over other halls. No matter what she says she won't get any justice.
"Let's go," the woman said in a cold tone.
"No, I'm not coming. He is a murderer. You should ask him the questions," Carolina said aloud.
Tony Burnett didn't let go of this opportunity, he added, "Elder, see. This girl had something to hide. You should take her first. I'm from the bloodline hall. I'll ask my elders to seek justice in this matter."
Carolina's heart is boiling in anger. How can someone blatantly lie? Tony Burnett is convincing. If not careful, anyone can be fooled.
At the same time, someone else arrives on the spot. He is none other than Gilbert Reese. Instead of arriving before Carolina, he hid himself to listen to their conversation.
On the other hand, the female wizard's eyes turned cold. She found Tony Burnett to be cooperative. But the girl on the other hand doesn't listen to her words.
For a second she thought that girl was the culprit.
"You, if you don't come with me, then I'll take you by force," the female wizard said in a cold tone.
Carolina's expression turned pale with fright. Her worst premonition turned true.
"Ha....Ha...Ha...," Tony Burnett laughed out loud in his heart.
His plan succeeded. She can't escape now.
Seeing that the girl was still unwilling. The female wizard decides to make a move.
But before she could do that. An arrogant voice reached everyone's ears.
"Well, I want to see. How are you going to do that?" Gilbert Reese appeared before everyone.
Seeing that Carolina sat down on the ground in relief. Help has arrived.
The female wizard's body trembled in fright. She is just a level-6 wizard. But that person before her is a level-7 wizard.
The Elder House powerhouse from the academy. She finds out she wasn't able to move her body an inch.
Tony Burnett was petrified. He knew Carolina had requested help. But to think, the person from the Elder House has responded to the call.
His back was drenched in sweat. Gilbert Reese won't believe his words. What to do now? Tony made up his mind to call for help.
In this situation, the only person who could help him was the female wizard. Last time, she gave him the forbidden potion to accomplish the mission.
She doesn't want him to die here.
The next second, he hurriedly began to access the communication watch. But the next second, his body turned stiff.
Tony's expression froze. He was completely locked out by another party.
"Senior brother, you saved my life,' Carolina said in a trembling voice. She had truly thought she was over.
Gilbert Reese frowned. He thought she had encountered some kind of monsters or traps in this area. But who would have thought something else was going on?
"Carolina, what happened?" He asked. From Tony Burnett's presence here. He can see it's the bloodline Hall's scheme.
Hearing that, Carolina finally has a chance to speak up for herself. She began to explain.
At the same, Tony's forehead is dripping with a cold sweat. He knows there is a minimum possibility to survive at the hands of Gilbert Reese.
The female wizard showed complex emotions. She started to regret her actions. She didn't expect that girl to ask for help from the Elder level powerhouse.
If she was the culprit, then why would she ask for help? Her gaze turned towards Tony Burnett. Looking at his panic-stricken face she seems to realize something.
She was not naive. She seems to realize something. There is an ongoing tension between the two halls.
Everyone knows that bloodline hall detests the Sub-Taboo Hall. Nowadays there is a genius from the Sub-Taboo Hall making a splash.
After connecting all of these, why can't this be part of their plan? At the same time, she is listening to Carolina's words as well.
A few minutes later,
Carolina finished saying everything. Gilbert Reese's heart turned cold. "What a good calculation?" He stared at Tony Burnett.
Where does he get his courage from? He doesn't think a level-5 wizard can have this courage. Without the backing of someone, it's impossible to do so.
"Alright, I understood everything," Gilbert said to Carolina.
Then he turned to face Tony Burnett and the female wizard.
"Young man, your plan is quite clever. But you forget one thing. Our academy has several artifacts to find out the truth."
"Even for a high-level wizard, it's impossible to deceive the artifacts. I'll take you to the dean, he will surely find out the truth," Gilbert said.
"It's over," Tony's eyes lost luster. He was aware of the powerful artifacts. As a person from the huge wizard clan, artifacts are considered to be heirlooms.
But he didn't expect Gilbert Reese to plan out like this. Anyway, he was already resigned to fate. It's a pity that he wasn't able to take the life of Vincent Carey.
Gilbert Reese then looked at the female wizard.
"You better take your person's corpse back to the Hall. And one more thing, don't let the bloodline Hall's people access the corpse."
"They might do something to it," He added further.
After saying that he locked both Carolina and Tony Burnett, then starts taking them back to the academy in mid-air.
Swoosh~
They disappeared from the spot in a blink of an eye leaving the level-6 female wizard all alone.
The female wizard then calmed down her emotions before moving toward Henry's corpse.
After arriving before the corpse, she saw several marks on the corpse. But none of them were the result of the plant magic.
