Chapter 149

In a magnificent study, after listening to the detective’s report, Count Brandon’s face darkened to the extreme. He muttered, “Locke can defeat level-5 magical beasts, and he escaped from level-6 magical beasts…”

Why did a loser in the past become so powerful!

“We can’t wait any longer…” After a long silence, Count Brandon’s s eyes flashed with coldness.

At this time, Butler Dyna came in from outside. “Mr. Count, Count Bazel, Count Marcas and the other two counts are here.”

“It seems that they have also received the news.” Count Brandon’s face darkened and said, “It seems that we need an emergency meeting.”

Butler Dyna nodded and quickly arranged it.

In the meeting hall of the Brandon family.

“I believe that everyone has got the news from the Dikas City.”

Seeing the four sitting down, Count Bazel said slowly and straightly, “Locke will be the biggest variable in our action.”

“Locke Capet doesn’t belong to any force of the two counties. Maybe we can offer good enough conditions to prevent him from getting involved in the matter between us and Marquis Hyman.”

Said Count Macas, who sat on the left.

“Hyman’s son is Locke’s student. Now Locke is close to the Hyman family. Besides, don’t forget what happened at the auction last time.” Another middle-aged fat man reminded.

Hearing this, Count Marcas went silent.

Count Bazel’s eyes twinkled with coldness. “I think we should work together to eliminate these unstable factors, such as Locke.”

“But Locke works for the Scilar Magic Academy,” said Count Marcas slowly. “Besides, Locke has become so powerful in such a short time. Perhaps there is a more powerful force hidden behind him.”

Hearing this man’s words, the others were also in a dilemma. The Scilar Magic Academy had been neutral all the time. If they killed the people of the Scilar Magic Academy, they would push the academy to the Hyman family.

Moreover, if there were really more powerful forces behind Locke, then if they attacked Locke, they were courting death, weren’t they?

Count Brandon remained silent from beginning to end. It was not until the meeting hall completely quieted down that his calm voice slowly rang out, “Take action ahead of time.”

As he spoke, there was a trace of coldness in his tone. “Locke, you must die!”

Count Bazel hesitated, “but…”

He agreed to kill Locke, but now it seemed that it was too risky.

The others also showed hesitation.

After scanning their faces, Count Brandon said slowly, “I’ve already contacted the Vic clan.”

Hearing the name “the Vic family”, Count Bazel and the others were slightly stunned. When they realized what Count Brandon meant, they were relieved.

As long as the Vic family was willing to help, everything would be easily solved. The Vic family was one of the strongest forces in the kingdom!

In the mansion of Marquis Hyman.

Marquis Hyman took a deep breath and put down the letter, with incomparable shock in his eyes.

Kill level-5 magical beasts! Crush level-6 magical beasts!

A level-7 practitioner!

Although he had tried his best to restrain himself, his fingers on the table were still trembling slightly.

The girl he had seen was actually a level-7 practitioner! A level-7 practitioner, even in King City, was a top existence!

He must try his best to win over Locke Capet and Athena! Instantly, Marquis Hyman made up his mind.

At the same time, his eyes fell on the letter again, looking at the part about Joanna and Bryce.

Bryce was also outstanding. No wonder he was my son.

Marquis Hyman smiled with relief.

“Bousson!”

After a long time, Marquis Hyman finally calmed down and shouted at the door.

A middle-aged man about the same age as Marquis Hyman came in. The middle-aged man’s eyes were sharp, and his previous sharpness was hidden by a grey robe.

“Mr. Marquis.” The middle-aged man called Bousson bowed to Marquis Hyman and greeted him respectfully.

Seeing that Bousson was so respectful, Marquis Hyman shook his head and said helplessly, “Boy, I’ve told you many times that we don’t need to be so polite.”

Bousson shook his head. His face was still cold. He said firmly, “Don’t break the proper etiquette.”

“Cancel all the government affairs for me. I will do nothing but pick up my child!”

Bousson nodded, bowed and stepped back.

After Bousson left, Marquis Hyman’s face gradually became serious. He took out a special envelope and a white letter from the dark box under the table. Next, it was time to report to the depraved organization.

The next day, at the gate of the teleportation site.

“Why haven’t you come yet?” Mrs. Hyman looked at the teleportation site uneasily, with concern and longing for her children in her eyes.

Seeing that his wife was so anxious, Marquis Hyman grabbed Mrs. Hyman’s hand and comforted her with a smile, “Don’t worry. As long as Mallory and their father are here, they will be fine.”

Mrs. Hyman nodded and forced a smile, but she was still a little worried.

In addition to Marquis Hyman, the dean of the Office of Academic Affairs, Mrs. Beaulieu and other people from other forces were present.

“It’s so lively today. What happened?” Looking at the grand scene, a young man passing by asked in confusion.

Hearing his question, the people around turned around and looked at him with disdain. The meaning was obvious: where did you come from? You didn’t even know this?

Noticing the disdainful eyes of the crowd, the young man’s face instantly turned red.

Seeing the embarrassing look on the young man’s face, a kind-hearted old man came to his rescue and explained, “The student who went to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts to train in the Scilar Magic Academy has come back.”

Hearing this, the young man was slightly stunned. He scratched his head and asked in confusion, “Didn’t they say that they encountered a surge of beasts?”

“Who knows? According to the news, although we have encountered a surge of beasts, the casualty of the Scilar Magic Academy is not serious.”

While the two were talking, the signal light on the teleportation site began to flicker.

Now, everyone’s attention was focused on the teleportation site.

The white light in the teleportation site was gradually extinguished, and a figure had appeared.

The head of the group was Mallory and Kipling.

Seeing the familiar building around, the students were in high spirits. They ran out of the teleportation site noisily and soon found their relatives to pick them up.

Kipling walked towards Marquis Hyman first.

“Father.”

Marquis Hyman and Mrs. Hyman bowed to Kipling.

Shaking his head, Kipling complained, “Look at you. You have such a bad relationship with your son.”

Hearing that, Marquis Hyman smiled awkwardly.

With a sigh, Kipling said, “Work it out. I’m going home.”

Then he waved goodbye to Bryce and Joanna and left.

“Let’s go.”

Joanna looked at the two in the distance, Marquis Hyman turned to Bryce with a complicated expression.

Cindy looked at Marquis Hyman and then looked at Bryce with concern. She knew that Bryce didn’t get along well with his family.

Bryce took a deep breath and gave Cindy a reassuring smile. Then he let go of Cindy’s hand and said, “See you at the academy later.”

Mrs. Hyman held Joanna in her arms for a long time before she let go of her. She held Joanna’s face and asked with concern, “Are you tired after this training? Are you hurt?”

Joanna shook her head.

Mrs. Hyman was relieved to hear that Joanna was fine. Then she looked at Bryce and asked with concern, “Bryce, how about you? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Noticing the concern in Mrs. Hyman’s tone, Bryce felt warm in his heart. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said slowly, “I’m fine, too.”

At this time, Marquis Hyman walked up to Bryce. He reached out his hand and patted Bryce on the shoulder, saying meaningfully, “Boy, I see that you are very close to the daughter of Henry. Do you want me to help you? That old man is very irritable.”

Bryce’s face turned a little red, and the scene of Count Henry Tyson, who was wearing an iron glove and chasing after him, suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, facing his father who had been indifferent to him for many years, Bryce still didn’t know what to say.
