The news about the murder of his subordinates reached the ears of the Wizard Ford. After hearing the news he lost his composure. Which rarely happens.
His subordinates are talented and they were trained carefully. Killing them means not only ending their lives. But also wasting his decade-long personal investment.
He just broke through to reach level-7 wizard. His master wanted him to stay low-key. So he doesn't want to expose his strength right now.
Once his breakthrough is revealed, he will be pushed forward to involve in the conflict. Which would affect his interest.
But he can't digest the loss of 2 level-6 wizards. And the identity of the killer was known yet. It can't be said that the killing won't continue in the future.
"Brown House?" He muttered to himself.
If the killer is related to the brown house. Then everything is possible. So it's even more important not to act rashly.
So finally he decided to call them back. His subordinate had captured a few heirs of the wizard family. These numbers would be enough to convince the elder Paul.
There is no need for going deep to capture everyone. After weighing in, he gave orders to his subordinates.
...
Rust City,
Gilbert Reese found an isolated mansion for accommodation. Not only that, his investigation gave him fruitful results. He had found the culprits lurking in this city.
Apart from the small fishes, his gaze was set on the wizard from the Burnett clan. He never expected to see a level-6 wizard dispatched to catch Zack.
He also found the identity of the person. Cortez Burnett, the clan elder. After finding out his information, he wasn't surprised by Vincent's decision to stay in the Tolu country for some time.
If it were for him in this situation, he would have made the same call. He starts to realize both he and the academy elders underestimated the danger.
Vincent Carey was targeted by more than one level-6 wizard. Before the bloodline hall, Vincent was targeted by the dark league force as well.
Apart from these two, the Weapon Palace and the Royal Force Hall are watching in the dark. Considering all of this, Gilbert's face sank.
Now that he is a level-7 wizard. He decided to have a serious talk with other elders. But before he decided to clear out the trouble here.
Before coming here, he promised Vincent to take care of everything. When he chooses to return, he shouldn't be troubled by assassination attempts.
Time passed,
Late at night, Gilbert exited the mansion. He moved towards the Wizard Cortez's place. As a level-7 wizard, it didn't even take a minute to reach the destination.
Outside of the house, level-4 wizards are patrolling the place. But they can't sense the presence of a level-7 wizard.
Gilbert easily infiltrates the house. Surprisingly, Wizard Cortez was awake and resting in the room. The door was not clocked.
When Gilbert stepped in. Cortez's face changes drastically. Because he recognized the person. No one in Dragon City didn't know about Gilbert Reese.
The ace of the Sub-Taboo Hall. A rare sub-taboo wizard. When all of this information came to his mind. Cortez Burnett became pale with fright.
"You, what are you doing here, your excellency?" Cortez immediately recovered his bearing and asked with a flattering smile.
Gilbert Reese sneered. He waved his hand the next moment Cortez's body turned stiff. Cortez's face was written with horror. He thought about giving a bloody fight till the end.
But now realizing that he can't move his finger. He was scared sh!t. Because there was no magic spell involved at all.
This was the effect of the wizard's pressure. After feeling the strength of Gilbert Reese. Cortez understood.
"Level-7 Wizard!" He cried bitterly in his heart.
The next second, he saw Gilbert Reese's palm-touched body.
The next moment, his body was infiltrated by a powerful shock force. The magic power was so powerful that his level-6 wizard body wasn't able to withstand it.
Crack~
His mana core was cracked under the force. What was more shocking is that? There was no sound at all.
Blood is leaking from his orifices. His internal organs became mince paste under the shock force. The bones crumbled into powders.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
Finally, Cortez Burnett's eyes dimmed. He never expected his ending to be like this. Not only he won't be able to fulfill his young master's task.
After killing him, Gilbert picked up his body and left the house to dispose of it cleanly.
Meanwhile,
Burnett Clan:
When Cortez died. His soul lamp placed in the ancestor hall became dim. Nobody noticed until the next morning. When someone came to clean the room. They saw one of the lamps was off.
This news immediately broke out and caused panic among the elders. The elders are all aware that Elder Cortez went on a mission.
The task was arranged by the Young Master Tony himself. Now that he is gone. It's alarming everyone.
Shortly after, the Clan Head called for a high-level meeting two days later.
Bloodline hall,
Tony Burnett's face became discolored after hearing the sad news. Just a day before, he told him to be ready. He selected Cortez as a candidate for consuming the forbidden potion.
Even before completing the task, someone killed him. A level-6 wizard's death is a heavy loss to their family. Their family power would be slightly reduced in the Capital.
Now he regrets his impulsiveness. He shouldn't have used his clan force. When it comes to who is behind the attack. Tony has a good suspect in his mind.
In his opinion, the Sub-Taboo Hall probably has taken the shot. They have been silent for too long. And their movements are not all discrete.
It's been more than a month. Since Vincent left the academy. He thinks it's normal for them to know information from him.
Thinking about Vincent Carey, his eyes flickered with a cold glint.
The bloodline hall has already taken action. A senior was murdered in the Tolu Country. There seems to be no proper response from their government as well.
So the higher-ups of the academy have decided to send a team to investigate. The team consists of bloodline wizards and elemental wizards.
As there are large numbers in the Academy. Even in the elder house, they occupy large numbers.
But none of them knew a new conspiracy was brewing. The bloodline wizards are going there with a different agenda. They are going to search for Vincent Carey.
This time the bloodline hall is going in full force. Several high-level wizards are going to be involved in this search.
"I don't think he will escape this time," Tony Burnett said to himself.
Then he removed the thoughts and decided to attend the clan meeting later.
...
From MC's perspective:
After waking up the next day, I began to meditate. I brought the mana stones outside and started to practice. I ran the gravity ark mental method in my mind.
The gray color mana particles entered my body. Right after I guided the energy according to the mental method.
After circulation, the purified mana entered my mana core space. Inside, the mana core quickly starts to absorb the incoming purified mana.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I stopped meditating three hours after reaching the limit. The next moment, I turned my attention to the system.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared to inform my eyes. Seeing the improvement, I sighed in relief. Not only that there are still some mana stones left for practice.
I can use them for practice in the coming days. After making sure everything was fine. I stood up and went to get ready.
Several minutes later,
I appeared outside. I crossed several distances yesterday. If not for the traps, my movement would have been faster. Then I started to continue the journey.
