The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 127 Pluto? ?
Joseph, who was already seriously injured, finally fainted after experiencing such intense mental torture because he could not bear the pain and humiliation.

After confirming that he had all the information he needed, Weiss turned and prepared to leave.

At this time, the bespectacled captain barely propped himself up and stood up with difficulty, leaning on his wand. "The Council will not let you go."

Weiss didn't look back, just left a word and disappeared from his sight.

"That's your business."

A few days later, Weiss appeared in another city.

Following the address he got from Joseph Pola, he came to a historic bank.

After going through a series of security checks and entering the password correctly, the bank staff respectfully led him to a secret small safe.

"This is Mr. Ace's vault."

The clerk made a few brief introductions before politely exiting, leaving Weiss alone.

The name Ace was a false identity used by Joseph Pola to conceal his identity.

As a shrewd old fox, he knew very well that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this vault was one of the backup plans he prepared for himself.

However, things are unpredictable, and now all these preparations have benefited Wes.

The moment the safe was opened, a dazzling light came into view.

There were mountains of gold, silver and treasures, but these were not the main purpose of Wes's trip.

What really excited him were those precious magic materials and various rare potions.

As one of the Ten Holy Mages and the president of the Phantom Ruler Guild, Joseph has extremely discerning tastes, and the things he collects are naturally the best of the best.

Wes was very satisfied with his harvest. After carefully packing everything into the box, he left the bank calmly.

In a good mood, he strolled along the bustling street, enjoying the relaxing moment after the harvest.

This tranquility did not last long, as he felt a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

[Who could it be? ]

Weiss speculated in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface, pretending to be nonchalant as he led the stalker to a sparsely populated area.

Just when he was about to further confirm the other party's intentions, the stalker actually showed up on his own initiative.

"We meet again, Mr. Weiss."

The person who came was Urrutia, one of the members of the Council. At this moment, she stood in front of Weiss with her true face.

"It's you, what do you want from me?"

A character like Urrutia wouldn't come to him for no reason.

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Urrutia, a member of the Council. You've caused quite a stir in Magnolia City."

Urrutia asked, twirling her hair with her hands, "It seems you're not surprised by my true identity."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Urrutia shrugged and continued, "Well, you've given the Magic Council a lot of trouble. Makarov mentioned in his report to the council that you possess strength comparable to his."

"That really scared those old men. A mysterious wizard at the level of the Ten Holy Magi," Urrutia added with a smile. "Furthermore, your behavior is very much like that of the forces of darkness. I'm afraid your wanted poster will be spread across the entire continent tomorrow."

"So?" Weiss asked calmly, still keeping his composure.

"I can help you," Urrutia said, his voice filled with temptation. "It only costs you a small price."

Weiss simply shook his head, not wanting to listen any further, and walked right past Urrutia. "Hey, stop! Don't you understand the severity of this?" Urrutia asked anxiously.

Weiss stopped and turned to face Urrutia. "I understand, but I have no interest in getting involved with your Council. If you want to negotiate a deal, at least show some sincerity."

Urrutia reveals his true purpose in finding Weiss: "Someone wants to see you."

Weiss frowned slightly, clearly not interested in such an opening statement.

Seeing this, Urrutia hastily added, "If you want the Arc of Time, follow me."

Urrutia said and turned to walk in another direction.

Weiss stopped to think for a moment before following.

The two walked one after the other through the noisy streets and came to a hotel.

Urrutia pushed the door open and stepped inside, followed closely by Weiss.

They walked through the hotel lobby, took the elevator directly to the top floor, and entered a luxurious room that was extremely exquisitely decorated.

After Weiss followed Urrutia into the luxurious room, the room was silent and there was only a dim light shining on the wall.

As the door to the room closed, Weiss's eyes gradually adjusted to the light, and only then could he see clearly the old man sitting in the shadows.

The old man sat on a wide chair, wearing a long robe, his right eye covered by a black eye patch, and his long beard almost touching the ground.

Even in such light, Weiss immediately recognized the old man's identity. He was once the second-generation president of the Fairy Tail Guild and now the leader of the Devil's Heart Guild, Hades.

Not only did he change his name, but his personality also underwent a drastic change.

From a kind and respected elder, he turned into a wizard pursuing darkness.

When he saw Weiss walk into the room, his single eye immediately revealed a scrutinizing look.

"Boy."

"Makarov's strength has declined. He can't even deal with a young man."

"It's not that he's weak, it's that I'm strong."

Weiss was just speaking the truth, but it sounded a bit arrogant.

"Haha~" Hades laughed out loud, "It's been a long time since I met such an interesting young man."

"But everyone can brag." A gleam of light flashed in Hades's one eye, and then a powerful magic power burst out.

This power was under his precise control, and only the two people in the room could feel it.

Weiss did not choose to release magic to resist, but walked to sit opposite Hades, poured two cups of tea, and then slowly pushed one of them towards Hades.

"When you get older, you shouldn't be so irritable. I know someone about your age, and his temper is much better than yours." Wes acted very calmly, and didn't seem to care about Hades' powerful aura.

Hades took the teacup, took a sip, and didn't speak immediately, but his magic power surged even more strongly at this moment.

This time, even Urrutia, who was standing by, could not bear the pressure, and tiny cracks began to appear on the objects in the room.

Weiss tasted the tea in his hand and said calmly, "The taste is a bit off."

"Hahaha~ That's interesting."

Hades laughed and retracted the magic that filled the room. "I heard from Urrutia that you are very interested in the 'Arc of Time'?"

Weiss heard this and nodded.
