Impossible.
Even if there’s only a 0.1% chance of survival, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, Milton Cheney would never make that choice.
“I can only wait now. The more anxious I am, the more I have to calm down.”
Milton murmured to himself.
The two simulations already gave him a bit of an advantage.
Breaking the deadlock isn’t impossible.
Milton was thinking about all the words from the simulations that he had strung together in his mind right now.
For the next few days, there were no incidents while Milton ate and stayed in his shop.
However, Milton knew this was the calm before the storm.
In Curved Corner City, the White Tower won’t dare act recklessly in his shop.
While Milton was staying in his shop these days, folks from the White Tower found no opportunity.
However, opportunities aren’t just found, they can be created.
Milton knew that if he continued to stay in the shop, perhaps the White Tower would use some means to force him to leave.
That’s all there is to it then, he thought. Time to take the offensive.
At least he must have initiative in his hand!
“What’s this kid up to? The White Rose arranged a house for him in the city, why is he constantly staying in the shop?”
Not far from Milton’s shop, inside a tea house, was a spot on the second floor by the window, offering a perfect view of Milton’s shop. Two people were sitting in that spot, a man and a woman.
“Leia, do you think the kid has found something?” The man spoke again, spinning a teacup in his hand. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Impossible.”
Leia decisively answered, her gaze occasionally shifting to Milton’s shop.
The intelligence showed that Milton wasn’t always in the shop before, so why has he been there recently?
Although she found it odd, she didn’t believe Milton had picked up on anything.
“Should we nab a few people and lure him out?”
“Absolutely not. We can’t startle the snake in the grass just yet. Moreover, this young man just arrived. It’s not likely he’d make big moves for a few maids.” Leia shook her head to halt the man from continuing.
The man respected Leia and didn’t argue once she rejected his idea. He kept spinning the teacup in his hand.
“Take care.”
Milton smiled faintly and escorted the middle- aged man, who was standing before him, out of the shop.
The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised, apparently puzzled why the shop owner would personally escort him out.
He only bought a few magic disks. He didn’t think he was that big of a customer.
Nevertheless. being given such resDect bv the shoo owner. he didn’t voice his
doubts.
Watching the figure of the middle-aged man leave, Milton turned back to the shop.
The moment he turned, Milton’s spiritual eye swept across the tea house not far away.
“Leia, Nafin, two Level 3 Wizard Apprentices.”
Milton murmured to himself.
The White Tower’s plan against him had already begun.
The two people sitting on the second floor of the tea house in the distance were no strangers to him. He’d killed one and seriously wounded the other in his first simulation.
Time passed, and nightfall was approaching.
“Shopkeeper, we’ll be leaving first.”
A few maids in the shop looked at Milton, who was sitting inside, and announced their departure.
“Sure, be careful.”
Milton waved, and only rose from his seat when the shop was empty.
As night was gradually descending, there wasn’t much time left until the curfew in Curved Corner City.
Milton came out of his shop, with hardly anyone on the streets.
The moment Milton stepped out of his shop, his spiritual eye noticed two shadows also moving in the distance.
Upon seeing Milton disappear into a small alley, the two figures halted abruptly and exchanged glances.
The next moment, they quickened their pace.
Anyone here would probably be greatly alarmed.
Because although these two were moving quickly, their steps were utterly silent, as if they were gliding.
Curved Corner City was utterly dark at night, and well-lit scenes simply didn’t exist.
After Leia and Nafin entered the alley, they stopped once again.
Darkness was, of course, nothing to them.
As Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, they could see in the dark as if it were day.
The reason for their pause was simple. Milton had disappeared.
Yes, he had vanished. They had lost track of him.
It only took a few seconds, and Milton, who had been in front of them, had vanished without a trace.
Even Leia had started to feel that something was off at this point.
This alley was very long. Even if she wanted to cross it, it would take tens of seconds.
Yet, how could a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice suddenly disappear?
Despite this, she still signaled Nafin to follow her through the alley.
The moment they took a step!
“Boom!!”
A massive spiritual blast enveloped the two. Their minds felt as if they had been struck and they froze on the spot.
They never imagined trailing a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice could lead to any unexpected events. They were completely unprepared and walked right into the trap.
This was definitely fatal!
Naturally, Milton wouldn’t waste such a great opportunity!
The next moment, Milton’s silhouette suddenly emerged from the darkness.
He truly emerged abruptly, without any signs.
Milton immediately placed his hands on their heads. Without any resistance, they had their spiritual seas shattered by him..
