"Dead? Didn't I make it clear? It's best not to kill him! What do you do for food!"
"It was not the target who died... it was the people we sent out."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, voices sounded again in the dark room.
"Isn't he a High Mage?"
"Uh... that's it."
"Then the one you sent out is Archmage. How can he be killed by others?!"
"This is beyond our expectations..."
"Okay, shut up! You didn't expose us, did you?"
"Don't worry, sir. That Archmage is our dead soldier. Even if he dies, he will not expose the news."
"That's good... then where is that Claire now?"
"Uh..."
"What happened again!"
"I just inquired about the news from City Guard. When they arrived at the scene, there was no one at the scene, and there was only a ruin..."
"Huh?"
"The young master from the Ansier Family frantically rummaged through the ruins, but still couldn't find any trace of the target."
"Dead?"
"I don't know. According to the situation at the scene, the person who died was one of ours. The target was only slightly injured and should not be dead. But we can't find where he went. He may have used Spatial Teleportation Scroll to teleport to another place to recuperate."
"..."
"Forget it, but the thing assigned to you was actually done like this, go back and write a review yourself! I can't be responsible for this matter."
"As you command... my lord." There was a hint of panic in the man's tone when he replied.
In the lounge in Tulip, Shane's face turned red, he clenched his fists hard, his face full of anger, and roared, "It was definitely the nobles in the royal capital who took action against Claire! Otherwise, how could an anonymous Archmage appear in the royal capital!"
"Maybe it was the church that took action! Claire has a lot of dirty information about them, and they have long wanted to take action against Claire!"
"Shane, calm down." Yana on the side advised.
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down?"
"To attack my partner in my Ansier Family manor is to provoke Ansier Family! I will definitely let my father investigate thoroughly! I don't believe that the person behind it can't be found!" Shane's eyes now look like he wants to kill someone.
Shane actually doesn't care about provoking Ansier Family. What he cares about is Claire, his only close friend!
"Those are the only people we can't deal with Claire! We absolutely can't break away from them!" Shane turned to Edith and said, "And that kid who's chasing you, he can't escape the relationship either!"
Edith subconsciously retorted, "Beck is not that kind of person. Based on my understanding of him, he would not do such a thing."
"Hmph!" Shane sneered from the tip of his nose, "Who knows! Who knows that he didn't lose to Claire and then got angry and sought revenge from his family. According to City Guard's investigation, the murderer was a Archmage. It wouldn't be difficult to find Archmage with his family's ability, right?"
Shane was very annoyed, and now he no longer cares about Edith's identity. Not to mention doubting Beck, he now began to wonder if his two brothers saw that his business was getting better and better, so they found someone to kill Claire.
"Shane!" Edith slapped the table and stood up. Although she doesn't like to see Beck now, she has played with him since she was a child and doesn't allow others to slander Beck. "If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense!"
Shane was about to open his mouth to refute, but Irene, who had been sitting aside, stood up and reached out to stop the argument between the two.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing."
After seeing Irene stand up, Shane took a deep breath and swallowed the words in his mouth. Edith also realized that he was excited and sat back on the sofa, but his expression was still a little dissatisfied.
Irene first faced Edith and said softly, "Sister Edith, brother Shane is just confused if he cares about you. Don't blame him."
Edith waved his hand, "It's okay, I understand."
Irene then turned to Shane and said, "Brother Shane, don't be anxious. Didn't you just call everyone here to brainstorm ideas? Why are you still quarreling?"
Shane After listening to Irene's words, he took a deep breath again, pursed his lips and nodded slowly. He was calming the chaotic emotions in his heart.
"I have asked someone to inquire from City Guard. According to the situation at the scene, the blood stains and body fragments at the scene indicate that the dead one is Archmage, while brother Claire only suffered some injuries and his life is not in danger."
Irene's mind did not become confused like an ordinary girl because of the disappearance of Claire, but said with clear logic, "The problem now is that the murderer's body and brother Claire are missing. It may be that brother Claire used a teleportation scroll to teleport himself to an unknown place, or it may be for other reasons, but this is not important. What we need to solve is how to find the location of brother Claire."
Edith was the first to stand up, "I can find a few Archmage who are proficient in the space system and ask them to go to the site to research and analyze where they may have been transported. This will make it easier to find."
After Shane's eyes changed a few times, he still whispered thank you to Edith.
Irene said, "I have also sent people to post the portrait of brother Claire in the towns and cities around the royal capital. If anyone sees it, he will report it."
Shane also nodded. Claire may have been seriously injured, so he was unable to return to the capital immediately. This was really useful. He didn't have to worry about the injury being too serious, and no one found him dead in the wild after treatment.
Then Shane set his sights on Yana. Yana stood up immediately and spread his hands helplessly.
"My family sells arms. I thought about it and there is really nothing I can do to help. How about I go to the Adventurer's Guild and issue some missions to find people?"
Shane also nodded. It was indeed as she said. In terms of finding someone, Guen Family didn't play a big role.
"Okay, then let's do it like this." Shane said softly. He also wanted to go back and use his family connections to start looking for traces of Claire across the country.
Wizard World.
Martin looked at the figure rolling out of Spatial Ring and immediately knelt back on the ground.
"Master Antonio! I was wrong! You can punish me however you want, please forgive me!"
After saying that, Martin put his head on the ground and did not dare to lift it up for a long time.
But after a few seconds, Martin noticed something strange. The figure actually didn't move at all. After lying on the ground for another five or six seconds, the figure still showed no sign of getting up.
Martin's courage grew stronger, and he slowly raised his head and looked over. Claire was now in a very embarrassed posture. There was almost no good spot on his body. The better ones were bruises, and the flesh and blood were torn apart in other places. In many places, the bones inside could be seen through the flesh and blood.
"Master Antonio?" Martin shouted tentatively, but there was no movement at all from Claire.
After shouting a few more times, Martin finally determined that Claire had an accident in Space Channel and passed out.
Then, a proud smile appeared on the corner of Martin's mouth again, and the humble look before was gone. Compared with just now, he was two completely different people.
"Sir Antonio, although there was an accident, we have finally met."
