The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 19 Mantis

Chapter 19 Mantis
"Do you remember what that person looked like?"

"I cannot remember, sir. We did not see his face."

Ellison blew out a puff of smoke and frowned.

'Coincidence... or were these two people being used?'

But who would attack those young boys and girls?

Although that group of boys and girls had been eliminated by the school, God knows what knowledge they had mastered.

The Korlik Gang back then was a profound lesson.

A desperate teenager cast a vicious curse on them, which eventually led to the death of almost all the members of the Korlik gang.

If it were just this, it wouldn't really matter.

The key point is that the vicious curse of the desperate boy finally alarmed the Horsens School!
As a result, the few extraordinary people who survived were all executed by the school, including a wizard apprentice!
Since then, these gangs have developed a new habit -

On the day they become official members, everyone is warned not to push those boys and girls into desperate situations.

This is not just about the fear that those boys and girls possess some strange power.

I am even more afraid of the Horsens School!

Although the school has always acted as if it doesn’t care, but what if?
What if some members of the school feel unhappy?

The Huosens School is the sky of Cuilin City!
Even the three most powerful gangs are nothing in front of the school, let alone other gangs.

Who would dare to take the risk of angering the school?

It’s a pity that human hearts are always like this.

No matter how profound the lesson is, it will gradually become shallow with the passage of time.

Ten years have passed since the events of the Kerrick Gang.

Although the habit of warnings in gangs still exists, the power of restraint has weakened.

Otherwise, Ellison would not dare to raise the price for Ant.

But that's all. It's okay to just fool those boys and girls, but forget it if you want Ellison to take the initiative to rob and blackmail like Bathory and the others.

Recovering his thoughts, Ellison took down his cigarette and said finally:

“I have finished asking my questions.

"Now, if you can quickly hand over all the money you have, then I might consider sparing your lives."

"No problem, sir." Bathory nodded, unexpectedly cheerful.

……

A few minutes later, a small pile of gold and silver had formed on the wooden table in front of Ellison.

He took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy.

35 Golden Dragons 89 Silver Wolves!

Damn it, these two thugs are really well hidden!

Also, those kids who were eliminated from the school are really rich... I only heard that they had some money before, but they are so rich... They are simply walking fat sheep!
Although Ellison is one level higher than the average gang member, he is only one level higher.

This amount of money is equivalent to his annual income!
Ellison greedily picked up the coins in front of him and laughed a few times. He looked up at the two men in front of him and frowned slightly.

"It's a pity that I have to share it with them."

He put away the coins and stood up. He glanced at the anxious Bathory and Chidi and chuckled:
"Don't worry, since you are still honest, I will spare your lives.

"But I want to remind you that some money is not something you can earn, understand?

"Just be a third-rate thug who steals and cheats like you guys."

The two men laughed a few times and followed Ellison away.

……

boom!
"Damn it!"

After they left, Bathory pounded the wooden table in anger!

His palms were red, and so were his eyes.

He was completely unaware and just pounded the wooden table again and again with a ferocious look on his face.

bang-bang-bang-

After a long while, Bathory stopped panting, looked at Chidi, and said:
"I don't want to be a third-rate gangster anymore! What about you, Chidi?!"

"…I don't want to either, Boss, but we…"

"Listen, Chidi! I didn't think it through before, but since we've made so much money, we can definitely use it to become stronger!"

Bathory stood up, moved the sofa away, took out three dark magic stones from the secret compartment underneath, and said through gritted teeth:

“We heard that some markets in the Stone House District sell extraordinary knowledge, and we can use the money to exchange for power!
"When we have the power, all the shame will be washed away... I want to kill someone, I want to kill Ellison!"

Qidi's eyes gradually brightened and he shouted,

"And that boy, the boy named Lin En!"

"It's all his fault, Boss. It's all his fault. I'm going to kill him!"

"That's right, kill that guy first, and then the damn old woman next to him!" Bathory shouted excitedly.

Then he caught a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision, suddenly looked to the left, and his whole body froze.

At some point, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the wooden house.

Lin En walked out of the shadows, holding a long sword, his face calm.

……

A few minutes later, Bathory and Chidi, with bruised faces and noses, were tied up tightly with hemp ropes, lying in front of the sofa with rags stuffed in their mouths.

Lynn paced slowly in front of them, playing with the three secondary magic stones he got from Bathory, with a smile on his face.

The three secondary magic stones were almost as much as what he had found by chance. It was truly a pleasant surprise.

He stopped, squatted down, put his fingertips on the wound on Bathory's left cheek and whispered:
"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

The latter didn't answer. Lin En gently applied force with his fingers, and the fingertips gradually penetrated the wound like a drill. "Ugh!"

Bathory groaned in pain, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. The anger in his heart was eventually suppressed by the pain, and he nodded his head in resignation, like a struggling beetle.

"very good.

"First, tell me why Ellison came to you just now and what he wanted to do?" Lin En took the rags out of their mouths and asked slowly,
"Remember, I need you to repeat your conversation with him word for word, without missing a single word."

……

Baiquan Street.

"Here, 5 gold royals each. You deserve the benefits."

Ellison stood by the road, handed a golden dragon to his men, and then waved his hand.
"Okay, I have something else to do, you guys go back first.

"Remember to keep this to yourself. Don't tell even the Iron Claw Gang. Otherwise, you may not be able to keep the money you have."

"Yes!" The two men nodded happily and turned to leave.

Ellison also smiled and walked towards the Nightingale Building.

We have gained a lot this time, it’s time to celebrate!
After a moment, he slowly stopped.

A young man with a gentle face walked out from the alley nearby and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Master Ellison."

He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an ordinary face and wearing a gray hood.

If Lin En were here, he would definitely recognize this person.

He is the "enthusiastic" senior -

Dole.

……

in the wooden house.

“…So, sir, Ellison came to us because he was attracted by our money.

"This is how the world is. If you have money but no power, everyone will want to take a bite out of you."

Bathory panted and said again,
"That is all we know, sir. We have told you everything and handed over all the money."

Lynn stood up, frowning.

Ellison...

He felt a little uneasy.

Like Bathory said, if you're not strong enough, everyone will want to tear something off you.

He didn't know what the Iron Claw Gang's manager's attitude was towards them...

An official member of the Iron Claw Gang is not comparable to these two little thugs in front of him.

"Sir, we have told you everything. Please spare us, sir." Bathory and Chidi pleaded.

Lin En came back to his senses and looked at the two of them silently.

It was almost dusk and the sunlight outside the window became dim.

'It's getting late. We can't delay any longer.'

In the dim wooden house, Bathory and the other two who were tied up tightly kept begging for mercy.

Lynn picked up the rag next to him and stuffed it back into their mouths.

As if they realized something, Bathory and the other man's eyes were filled with fear. They twisted their bodies desperately and made desperate whimpering sounds.

Lynn stood up straight, but turned around and walked towards the door.

blah blah-

His footsteps gradually faded away.

Bathory and Chidi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

puff-

The next moment, there seemed to be two imperceptible sounds of wind.

As the blood-red light rose, the wooden house became silent.

Lin En stood beside the two bodies, moved his feet slightly to avoid the flowing red blood, and exhaled softly.

After standing quietly for a moment, he placed the sword on the clothes of the two men and wiped it clean, then simply cleaned up the traces.

Then he left quietly and disappeared into the dim sky.

……

When I got back to the shed, Mrs. Carter was waiting anxiously outside.
