Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

444 Cortez & Paul Burnett



The Rust City:

"Cough"

"Where is he hiding?" Cortez said with a cough. 

He is standing near the gateway where people from both sides of the border are coming and going. 

The road is crowded with carriages, caravans, and four-wheeled vehicles. The border police are scanning the goods with tech gadgets in their hands.

Only after the verification, people are allowed to pass through the gateway. 

It's not easy to get away from the eyes of the authorities. The border police are level-5 wizards. They can easily find suspicious people. 

Recalling the information about the target, a sly smile rose on his face. He is currently in disguise wearing long-sleeved clothes.

Beep!

Suddenly, his communication watch is lit up with a notification.

Seeing the contact name his eyes gleamed with twinkle.

Because the person who is contacting is a middleman who has connections with government authorities. 

"Parker?"

"Did you get something?" After connecting the call, he immediately asked.

From the other side of the call, a person spoke with a deep voice.

"I'm not sure. But a suspicious group has been spotted. The business owner is an old man whose appearance exactly matches our information."

Cortez's eyes lit up with surprise. This is the 1st clue he has heard after so many weeks of waiting. 

"Alright, I'll send Paul over there. I have to monitor the gateway," After saying that Cortez ended the call.

Paul is another elder sent by the clan. Since the Young master wanted to catch the target through a tight net. So the presence of higher-level wizards is required in their operation.

So he doesn't worry about any mishaps.

...

From MC's perspective:

Time passed,

In front of the inn, the carriages are parked in line. Except for the escort team, the old man went inside the inn to take a rest.

He didn't even dare to open the 3rd carriage. The mysterious disappearance of Vincent shocked him to the core.

Not only that, but the reaction was also the same as the escort team captain. Both of them saw Vincent right before entering this city. 

But he had disappeared under their eyes. 

The old man was more experienced. He has seen many things in his life. Earlier, he thought Vincent and Gutt were rich people. 

But he failed to gauge their magic power. 

In a panic, he shut himself in his room. Before getting approval, he doesn't want to leave this inn.

Outside,

The escort team captain is conversing with his team members. Because the team members don't know what is going on?

Meanwhile,

Sitting inside the carriage, I'm hearing their conversation. It's no doubt that the old man and the team leader were spooked by my disappearance.

I'm glad that they didn't expose anything. 

While I'm pondering, my heart palpitates all of a sudden. 

[Ding! Warning!]

[High-level mental wave is detected]

A mechanical sound in my mind. 

Swoosh~

The next second, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. I hurriedly entered the control room to look at the situation.

The system warned me of danger. But this time it was different. Someone is scanning the carriages. Because of the system warning, I can tell that person is someone stronger than me.

For a moment, I stood dazed.

Everything is going according to my plan. Then what happened all of a sudden? I'm trying to recall whether I have missed any pieces.

Such a high-level mental wave search is unwarranted. After a few minutes of pondering, a thought occurred to me. Has it anything to do with the government?

The image of Melina comes to mind.

"That woman?" I mumbled under my breath. I suddenly feel something wrong with Melina. 

But I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

Outside,

A person dressed in a business class suit suddenly turned toward the carriages.

He is none other than Paul Burnett. He is another level-6 wizard sent by the Burnett Clan.

Upon receiving the information from Cortez, he came here to check. 

But he didn't find the target after using the mental power of the high-level wizard. Normally no low-level wizard can escape the perception of a high-level wizard.

According to the information, the target is a level-4 wizard. And it's impossible to escape the mental scan from him.

Then suddenly he recalled one more piece of information. The target was highly valued by higher level Sub- Taboo wizards.

It could be possible for the target to have life-saving items.

After gaining some clarity, he walked toward the carriage.

Seeing him coming, the escort team quickly alerted. 

"Who are you?" The team captain asked.

Looking at the man dressed in a black suit. He realized the person is a big shot.

But before he could open his mouth. The escort team was completely paralyzed down to the ground Including the captain.

Paul used a little bit of pressure to make them immobile. Then he walked up to the 1st carriage and opened the door. 

Paul sent another mental wave to check something. Then seeing that everything was fine. He moved to the 2nd carriage.

All of this was seen by the escort team captain. He was quite used to this situation since the beginning of the trip. 

He doesn't know the identity of the person? But from his disappearance, he can tell that people are looking for him.

Paul is checking one carriage after another. After a few minutes, he knitted his eyebrows. He is now 100% sure that no one is hiding inside the carriage.

Suddenly, he caught the strange expression of the escort team captain. He recalled the information. 

He decides to interrogate the owner.

He canceled his overwhelming pressure. The next moment, everyone collapsed on the ground gasping for breath.

He quickly found the captain who is a level-3 wizard. 

"Go and call your boss," Paul said to him.

The escort team captain broke out in cold sweat. 

He understood this person was a powerful wizard. One mishap can cause everyone to die here. At this time he regretted picking up this job.

He then stood up and dashed toward the inn. 

Meanwhile,

I saw the face of the wizard who opened the carriage. At this point, my doubt was cleared. I'm not completely exposed. 

But somehow they had found something wrong with this team. 

"Tony Burnett," I uttered in a cold tone.

He is just a level-5 wizard. But he was able to mobilize his clan power to find me.

I underestimated the power of the wizard family. He is operating alone. What if the entire bloodline hall chose to work against me? 

I can't imagine the wave of high-level wizards coming to find me.

Fortunately, the existence of level-8 and level-9 wizards are rare. Even for a whole academy, we got one supreme wizard who is at level-10.

After calming down my heart, I decided to wait and see.

Outside,

Shortly after, the old man and escort team captain came outside.

The faces of both of them are not right. 

"Are you the owner?" Paul asked.

He felt weak mental fluctuations from the old man. A wisp of his magic can cripple him directly.

The old man was terrified. It's already great for him to hold on this long. He doesn't know what will happen next.

"Yes," He answered in a weak voice.

Paul asked, "I would like to hear about your two personal servants."

The old man's pupils constrict. He is not stupid to not know what is going on. Everything happening here is because of those two people.

He didn't know anything about those two. Apart from Gutt who he had met twice before this trip.

Paul notices the minute facial expression. He now thinks the old man knows something. But the problem is that he can't release his pressure.

Otherwise, the old man would die.

The next moment, his eyes turned cold. He waved his hands gently against the collapsed team members.

Gasp~

The team members lost their lives in a blink of an eye. A massive bloody claw print can be seen on everyone's chest. 

This all happened within seconds.

The escort team captain's legs became weak. His whole body is trembling with fright. He doesn't know what happened. 

But his teammates died in seconds. His mentality broke down completely. At the same time, the old man is already resigned to his fate.

He doesn't know the answer, to begin with. But if he tells then nobody would believe him either.

"See!"

"Next would be you guys," Paul said with a smile.

"So tell me without hiding anything," After saying that Paul turned his attention towards the captain.

His gentle, fine-looking palm suddenly transformed into a wolf claw. The next second, he grabbed the neck of the captain.

The captain regains his clarity for a few seconds. But immediately after seeing the wolf claw, he lost consciousness.

"Waste"

A hint of disdain flashes in Paul's eyes. 

Tweak~

He broke his neck and threw him to the side. With that, the escort team was eliminated together with their team leader.

Paul wasn't satisfied with this. But he can't kill the old man. He might be the only person who knows about this. 

So he decided to seek assistance from a wizard who specializes in hypnotizing magic.
