Chapter 733 Triple Killer's mental preparation
Chapter 733 Triple Killer's mental preparation
Time passed,
When the train arrived at the platform. I boarded the train and went to my seat. After sitting down, I closed my eyes and waited for the Train to reach Bamboo City.
The next morning,
The Train arrived at the Bamboo City of the neighboring province. Unlike other cities, the Bamboo City is a major place where the railroad network is connected to important places in the country including Dragon City.
When the train came to a halt. The passengers start to leave. Seeing that I walked out as well.
When I touched the ground. I breathed the air filled with rich mana. The mana density is better than the Velbor City. This province is bigger and more resourceful than the Blue Cloud province.
After removing the distracting thoughts, I decided to book the ticket to the Capital Dragon City. There is no need to go out and explore the city.
I just have to board another train, then I will be back to the Capital. My mood was calm and serene.
After reaching the ticket counter, I bought the ticket. Fortunately, the train to the Capital City is available from time to time.
My train will be here in half an hour. I don't have to go to the other platform. Then I went to the waiting area and found a place to sit down.
Beep!
Suddenly, my communication watch lit up with the notification.
Seeing the contact name, I wasn't surprised. The person is none other than Senior Gilbert.
There was no one beside me. So I can talk freely. When I attended the call. A serious tone reached my ears.
"Vincent, where are you?"
Hearing that I replied," Senior, I'm coming back. I'm at Bamboo City's train station. I have booked a ticket to the Capital. The train will be here in an hour."
Gilbert sighed inwardly. He knows that Vincent is not dull. Then he said, "We can't trust the Capital City. Last time, some people attacked the Train Station. This time there is a possibility for a similar occurrence."
Hearing that my expression changes drastically.
If I had heard it from others, my expression would be calm. But Senior Gilbert is a level-7 wizard.
I asked, "Senior, what should I do?"
"I'll come to Bamboo City. Until then, just find a place to settle down. There is no need to take chances at this time," Gilbert Reese said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that I let out a sigh. I thought the turmoil had settled down. But still, people don't want me to leave alone.
If Senior Gilbert is willing to come here, then someone else is waiting for me to appear in the Gilbert.
The image of an unknown level-7 wizard comes to mind. My expression turned cold.
"Alright, Senior. I'll be waiting for you here," I replied. Then we ended the call. Bamboo City is many times safer than Velbor City.
Since this city serves as a connecting place. There will always be movements of high-ranking wizards in this city.
But there is no harm in being extra careful.
Meanwhile,
Gilbert Reese ended the call before turning towards Galvin Martin.
"Elder Galvin, are you sure?" He asked.
Galvin was here all this moment. Gilbert's call to Vincent was his suggestion.
Looking at Gilbert, he nodded his head.
"The information is true. The Capital City is not safe. It won't take much time for a level-7 wizard to kill Vincent."
"And for Vincent, he needs time to activate the Grade-8 Artifact," Galvin answered.
What he didn't tell him was the identity of the source. It comes from the powerhouse of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Galvain didn't expect the powerhouse of their Hall to come forward. Since the information comes from their mouth. Then they must have known something.
At least, he can tell that they are paying attention to Vincent Carey. In this way, he can relax a little.
Gilbert Reese thought for a moment before deciding to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
"I don't think your guy's return journey will be smooth. Your departure certainly alerts others. There might be clashes ahead. So you have to be prepared for that, "Galvin gave a hint of warning.
He knows Gilbert's capability. But still, it is not clear how many hostile wizards there are.
Gilbert nodded his head in understanding before leaving from the spot.
Shortly after,
A high-end black aircraft left the academy space. The high-end aircraft were used for long-distance travel and emergency purposes.
When the aircraft left the place, it was eye-catching.
Quickly, the spies shared the news with their higher-ups.
Meanwhile,
The border outside of the Capital is active. There is a vast green land with mountains and rivers before the border.
There are small towns and villages active in these places. From time to time, several aircraft, airships, and other flying machines flew over this place.
There are also multiple railroads connecting to the Capital. At this time, suspicious people are staying close to all of the railroads.
At one of such railroads, a person wearing a black cloak is inspecting the place. The person is none other than Triple Killer.
Last night, he received the message that the target had left the hiding hole and he might be coming back by the Train.
If it's true then his train must pass through one of the railroads here.
After killing the bloodline wizard, he came to this place and settled down. There is no need for him to enter the Capital City and attract unwanted attention.
Not only him, his organization also warned him not to enter the Capital City. His blurred image was especially captured and became a trending subject online.
Only a few important organizations in the world know about the existence of the shadow skull. Even among the all evil organization.
The Shadow Skull is said to be the one who operates from the shadows. Even the famous Dark League is not as low-key as them.
Because of his exposure, a lot of people are tying his activities to the Dark League. The organization is also facing unknown pressure.
The higher-ups of the Shadow Skull want him to come back to face the severe punishment.
His mood has gone up and down in the recent few days. What made him more puzzled was that the target was alive. He knows no one escaped his attack.
And he had spent many hours before leaving the place. This shows that the target was not in the hotel from the beginning.
His failed attack had a lot of consequences. He will certainly face punishment when goes back. Thinking about the level-8 wizard who handles the task affairs. His back went cold.
Those people who were operating at high places were ruthless and colder than him. After years of killing and looting, they have achieved that place.
Now his years of hard work are going to be wasted because of this mistake. Which is why he can't afford to make a mistake this time. He is not willing to go back with a failed mission.
Either he is going to die or he kills the target. If he returns empty-handed, the punishment will be worse than death.
He will become someone else's magic product. The triple killer doesn't want to end like that. That's why he has mentally prepared himself for the mission now.
Shortly after,
He receives the message from the organization. The content of the message target's whereabouts. And there is someone who is going to safeguard him on the way.
After reading the message, his mouth curved into an arc.
If someone is going to escort him back, then he is sure that target won't slip away this time. If the target is confident of returning alone, there is no need for an escort.
He feels a greater chance of attacking the target this time.
Bloodline Hall,
The fat elder is sipping tea back in his room. His mood has been depressing these days. Especially after he got humiliated in the dean's office.
In the end, the powerhouse intervened to save his life. His actions have backfired. Later, the powerhouse instructed him not to do anything against Vincent Carey.
If someone wants to fight, level-5 bloodline wizards can do that. Earlier, he didn't understand the meaning.
But later he came to know that. Some kind of understanding has been reached between the powerhouse of the Bloodline Hall and the Sub-Taboo Hall.
No strong can bully the weak. This is not the style of their bloodline hall. But his actions have made the bloodline hall a powerhouse to compromise.
He thought the powerhouse was going to punish him for failure. But surprisingly, except for the smooth operation of the bloodline hall. They don't want any drama anymore.
A hint of disappointment flashes in his eyes. He had lost one of the family elders. A level-7 bloodline wizard. The loss was too great.
In the end, he didn't get anything. Not even the support of the bloodline powerhouse. Maybe pardon was a great reward to him. Hereafter, he can only mind his business.
