Chapter 57 Kevin’s Plan

Chapter 57 Kevin's Plan

"You've been very absentminded since your... episode earlier," Edward spoke as he chewed on the food. "Adam, are you really okay?"

Adam snapped to his senses and assured Johnathan and Edward who were sitting at the table with him. "Yeah, don't worry about me. I was just thinking about our upcoming team mission."

In truth, Adam was still in disbelief after learning the shocking information from the expert's memories. Anyone would be if they learned that the universe was inhabited by countless Magi of myriad races.

Currently, the three friends were having dinner at a fine establishment in the North Ward. The restaurant they were currently in, Seraphina, was one of the best restaurants in Moon City. New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The food served here was naturally very expensive. Moreover, it was also very difficult to find reservations at this fine dining place.

But that wasn't a problem for this group of friends. Not to mention Edward was the son of one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom, even Johnathan came from a very affluent family in Moon City.

At the mention of the team mission, Edward looked toward Johnathan and scoffed. "No wonder you didn't want to team up with me and Adam. It all makes sense now why you'd want to go with Shelly and Hillary."

Johnathan scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "Well, it all worked out in the end, didn't it?" He winked and threw a playful jab at Edward. "Thanks to me, Lisa was able to join you guys' team, hehe."

Edward's face turned red and he harrumphed, "Hmph! If you say so."

Seeing his friends banter with one another, Adam couldn't help but chuckle. For most of his life, he was alone and struggling to make ends meet.

Now when he looked at the fancy food and wine on the table, and the good company of friends, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

Adam smiled warmly and enjoyed this moment.

He looked at Edward and asked, "When do we leave for the mission?"

Edward took a large bite of meat and replied, "All first-year students are required to depart by the end of the week."

Jeffrey was a standard example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Just as Jeffrey was secretly cursing Kevin, the latter's calm voice drifted into his ears. "You must be wondering why I'd stopped you from messing with that peasant all these months."

Jeffrey was taken aback, but he hurriedly denied it with a forced laugh. "Not at all! Although it's a pity that I didn't get a chance to tussle with that farm boy. I'm sure you had your reasons."

Get a chance to tussle? You coward, you wouldn't have done it even if I offered you that peasant on a platter. Kevin scoffed internally. He knew exactly the type of person Jeffrey was.

However, he couldn't say that to his face. After all, regardless of how spineless Jeffrey was, he was still a Magus with an A-

grade aptitude. Therefore, Kevin had to cater to his ego if he wanted to use him.

"The reason why I did so is so that you do not become a suspect in the events that are about to unfold in the next few months," Kevin stated calmly.

Jeffrey's voice turned solemn. "What do you mean?"

Kevin took out a metallic orb, the size of his fist, from his cloak and kept it on the table. Then, he pressed a button on it, following which a barrier of indiscernible energy enveloped the two.

"What's this?" Jeffrey asked with narrowed eyes.

"The supernatural world contains infinite mysteries, my friend." Kevin coldly smiled. "In front of certain divination spells, nothing can be hidden. That is why I borrowed this artifact to prevent others from scrying."

"It's my family heirloom, a Rank 2 Artifact," he continued with a proud smile. "It hinders any divination attempts. Of course, if a Rank 3 Magus casts a divination spell, this artifact will be useless. But rest assured, Magi from the School of Divination are very rare even in the Acadian Empire, much less in the Southern Federation."

Jeffrey's interest was piqued. But at the same time, his cautious nature made him think that whatever Kevin had planned was very dangerous. So he asked, "What're you planning to do?"

Kevin spoke with intense killing intent, "Of course, I'm planning to kill Adam during his team mission."
