Chapter 30 Another Mission from the Academy?

It was just as Li Huan had expected! The Vampire’s secret hideout was filled with good stuff!

Guided by the map in his hand, Li Huan arrived at the Vampire’s secret hideout under the cover of the night.

Never in the world would that Vampire have expected someone to know the precise location of his secret hideout!

It was a dilapidated hut in the wilderness. Most people would have assumed that it was just a woodcutter’s temporary residence. Who would actually ransack that place?

Li Huan opened the secret passage based on his memory. Wow! He was really going to be rich!

He was supposed to go to work the next day. But after taking those things, he definitely could not openly return like that.

The Vampire knew very well that he might need to escape any time. So he had stored assets like treasures, gold bars and so on in the secret hideout. That actually made it more convenient for Li Huan!

Li Huan thought for a moment. There were some cities around the Imperial City. For treasures and gold that he could not use, he could sell them on the black market in a small town on the edge of the Imperial City. And exchange them for gold coins in circulation. Otherwise, if he brought those things home directly, they would be difficult to sell later!

There was no time to lose. It was only two o’clock in the morning. If he quickly rode his Skeleton horse, enhanced by Wind-Blessed, he should be able to exchange the items and return to the Imperial City before daybreak!

In the current situation, his only option was the black market. Because only in the black market, would he not leave any traces. And no one would ask him where the items had come from. It was just that the black market on the edge of the Imperial City only opened at night.

With the swiftness of Wind-Blessed, Li Huan was on his way to the black market.

Early in the morning, Li Huan returned to the city just as the first ray of sunlight appeared. Even though he tried his best to hide it, there was a faint smile on his face.

He could not help it. The gains from the night before were simply too huge! At first, he had just wanted to exchange the things for some money and higher-level books. But unexpectedly, the black market happened to have Level 30 and Level 40 level up scrolls for Summoners as well!

Even in the Imperial City, those were not things that people could necessarily buy with money! A Mage had to have a certain level of achievements and contribution towards the Magic Council, before he could earn the right to exchange for and purchase the scrolls!

Who cared where the level up scrolls in the black market came from? They were now in Li Huan’s hands. The rest were none of his business!

After returning to the Imperial City, Li Huan quickly went to a large bank. He then looked for the bank president on an anonymous basis.

In that world, banks existed as well. And most large banks more or less had some form of shady business going on.

They could help you launder money via transactions that seemed reasonable. And then split the money into multiple funds, and deposit them into different accounts. In general, as long as your deposit was large enough, they would take a certain amount of commission, and then use a flawless method to clean up and store your money from dubious sources.

As long as those services were needed, banks would always have a set of secret procedures for them. Even the banks themselves would not know who the customer was. That was the rule of the industry. One less person in the know, one more day to live.

And who in the Imperial City would require such services, yet be unwilling to reveal his identity?

Li Huan just happened to remember how to open that kind of secret account. As the process was only known to the rich or noble, no one would question his identity.

Just like that, Li Huan came to own a secret account. With a deposit amount that was sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people.

After doing all that, Li Huan hurried home and changed his clothes. He then put on a sleepy expression. It was a working day that day. When he saw Nano in a moment, he would tell her that he had been arrested the night before, and stayed up reading for hours, so he had no energy at all. And that would do

“Li Huan, were you all right last night? I’ve already helped you to apply for leave today. You can go back and rest first!”

He could tell that Nano had not slept well the night before either. The death of a magic academy teacher had indeed given everyone the jitters. When Li Huan was first suspected the day before, it was Nano who had put in a good word for him. That was why Li Huan had been cleared of all suspicion and released early.

“It’s okay, I’ve slept enough. It’s fine as long as the misunderstanding has been cleared. I was afraid it would cause a delay in my work. It’s all thanks to you that I was able to get out so quickly!”

Li Huan smiled and waved his hand. He had only been imprisoned for a few hours the night before. It was really not worth mentioning at all!

Nano looked very anxious. At the exhibition match the day before, Li Huan had simply left after finishing off his opponent with a few moves. But she was familiar with Li Huan’s cold and straightforward personality, so she did not say more.

“Li Huan, you must be careful in the city these days! You were taken away last night, so you probably already know! A Vampire has recently appeared in the Imperial City. But you don’t have to worry. A few large forces are currently looking for him! Only a few people in our magic academy know about this. So don’t tell anyone, lest you cause panic!”

Li Huan nodded. He was not brainless. Of course, that kind of thing had to be kept a secret. However, what was strange was that the Vampire had been entrenched in the city for a long time. So he definitely had his own method of harming people in secret. Why did he get exposed this time?

When he thought of that, Li Huan could not help but feel slightly afraid. Perhaps the Vampire wanted to gradually reveal himself to the public. Li Huan could not let his guard down! The situation did not seem good at all. Should he lay low for the time being?

At that moment, the door was pushed open. It was the dean of the magic academy.

In his hand was a sheepskin book, which he passed to Nano.

“Professor Nano! It’s been hard on you lately! The academy has plans to send a team out to perform missions. Why don’t you take charge? Find someone capable to lead the team!”

As the dean spoke, he glanced at Li Huan.

What? What was he trying to say? However, that sort of external mission was exactly what Li Huan wanted! A legitimate reason to leave the Imperial City for a period of time? He could not ask for more!

“Dean, if I will do, I am willing to go.”

“Good! Young man, that’s the way it should be! In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer!”

The dean seemed very satisfied as well, and left the office immediately after saying that.

Li Huan took the sheepskin book, and browsed through the names of the students who had signed up.

F*ck! Lana! That kid was truly diligent and inquisitive! Why was she involved in everything?

He had wanted to leave the Imperial City to avoid the limelight. However, if Lana was also in the team, she might attract the Dark Council. Then he would have to get involved

again!

“What’s with your expression? Don’t tell me you don’t want to go? I’ve already decided not to take it up with you after you just upped and left yesterday. But are you planning to go back on your word now after what you said to the dean?”

Li Huan looked up and saw that Nano was slightly angry.

Great, now he had put himself in a difficult situation!
