From MC’s perspective:

After leaving the room, I walked towards the registration desk. To my surprise, the old man is looking at me with a questioning gaze.

I furrowed my eyebrows for a second. Then it soon returned to normal. Without looking at him, I started walking outside.

A long road came into view. Shops are open on both sides of the street. More people are walking outside.

Seeing that, I wasn’t surprised. If it were a normal situation, the city lord would have put up a cap restricting the number of visitors entering the city.

But the city lord of this city was not worried at all. Then shaking my head, I decided to find another inn to have some breakfast.

In the same town, I want to hear some news. I could only find vague information on the online news. But I could get more information from people here.

Not long after, I found a good luxurious restaurant. Which seems to be crowded as well. Without minding about the expenses, I walked in.

A very professional server greeted me inside. Soon, I found an empty spot to sit down. Then I ordered some mana meat.

After ordering, I remained silent and started listening to people’s conversations around me. As a level-6 wizard, it’s easy for me to listen to the conversations of people walking in the streets.

“Have you heard?”

“The additional support team sent by all the major forces suffered heavy casualties.”

“Many of them got hit by corrupted evil mana. It might take months for them to recover.” freewebnovel.cσ๓

“Corrupted evil mana?” I asked myself. I guess it has to do with the awakened magic and mental method.

I sighed inwardly. Though I’m progressing fast. My battle skills are rather crude. I simply use an overpowering spell to crush everyone.

I never needed tactics to defeat the enemy. But I couldn’t imagine myself in the Adamont Canyon situation.

There are more genius wizards with overwhelmingly powerful spells. Even they are affected by evil magic. Then I would have no chance to remain unscathed there.

Then I focused on listening to further conversation. The food arrived a few minutes later. Then while eating, I tried to collect as much information as possible.

What’s more puzzling is that no one called me. I have many doubts about the communication watch manufacturers. Don’t they know my whereabouts?

Is it allowed to track the location of someone? Or is it banned by the government?

The easy method for the academy to find my location was locating the communication watch.

“Hmm,” I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

I found four suspicious people looking at me. They are going to enter the restaurant. For a second, I thought it was a casual look.

After a few minutes, I squinted my eyes. I’m sure that they are targeting me.

“But why?” My eyes turned cold. No one knows my identity. I’m wearing a mask on my face. Which was not usual. Because many mercenaries with similar outfits are roaming the city.

Then I decided to wait and see what they were going to do.

After having breakfast, I left the restaurant and decided to find a transport company which provides transport service to the Capital.

When I’m walking down to another street. I found these people were following me through their mental power.

“Okay,” My mouth curved into an arc. I was planning to find a transport company. Now I have changed my mind.

I have decided to lead them somewhere. After a few minutes, I came to a narrow alley. It’s a perfect place for an interrogation.

Not long after, four people appeared in front of me.

“Look at him!”

“He is one of those clever fat sheep,” The bearded man said with a smile. He was genuinely surprised. But in front of the overwhelming strength, all this caution and calculations are nothing.

“Brother, he must have realized something wrong,” The wizard beside him commented.

On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Now I’m taking a good look at every one. I immediately recognized their faces.

These people entered my room last night. No founder I found them a little bit familiar.

“Alright, young man. Now you can give us your storage bracelet and obediently follow us,” The bearded wizard said.

“Follow you?” I blurted out.

Hearing that they let out a laugh, “Ha…Ha…Ha…”

“What are you?”

“Do you think we will leave you like that?” The bearded man said with anger.

“Alright,” I grunted.

Boom!

The next second, I released a small coercion.

Pfff!

Powerful pressure immediately brought everyone down to the ground. Bones cracked. Blood starts gushing out from their mouth.

Their faces are written with horror. To think one can subdue a level-5 wizard easily. It must be a wizard above them.

The bearded man was completely terrified. He has spewed too much bullishness! earlier. He won’t be surprised if the person tried to kill them.

The rest of them are panic-stricken as well. But the overwhelming fear has clouded their judgment.

At the same time, I thought about starting an interrogation. The next second, the coercion disappeared.

The three of them fainted on the spot. But the bearded man maintained a trace of clarity. Seeing that, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes.

“Alright, you can now answer my questions.”

“I will let you go,” I said to the bearded man.

The bearded man nodded his head. He didn’t have much of a choice either.

“Who is behind you?” I asked.

The bearded man hesitated before saying, “The City Lord.”

Hearing that my doubts got cleared. No one has authority and strength other than the City Lord of this City.

“And what is he up to?”

“Wasn’t he afraid of the government?” I asked back.

The bearded man swallowed his saliva in fear before replying, “I don’t know what happened to City Lord. But I heard rumors that he is working for someone.”

“Someone?” I muttered.

The bearded man nodded before adding, “We think that City Lord is working for someone from the Capital.”

Hearing my thoughts became clear. Who can order the City Lord? There are 2 capable forces. The government and the Royal Force Hall Academy.
