17 Chapter 17

After that, Kaleb and Taylor returned to the leader town of the Vulture mountain.

“Taylor, how are you now?” Along the way, Kaleb kept asking about Taylor.

But Taylor just ignored him.

She had witnessed Kaleb’s performance at the critical moment last night.

He used to care about her, but at the critical moment, he wanted to run away from her.

Her cold attitude embarrassed Kaleb.

He hurriedly explained, “Last night, I was planning to lure the demonic wind ghost wolf away, not to escape.”

But how could such a lame explanation deceive people?

Taylor cast a cold glance at him and asked, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”

Kaleb’s face froze.

Taylor continued to mumble, “Hypocrite. If you have 1/10 of Andrew or moonlight knight, I may consider you.”

Kaleb’s face turned crimson when he heard this.

You don’t need to compare me with Andrew!

All of a sudden, a wave of resentment rose.

Just as the two of them were about to reach the town, they suddenly found that a person standing at the entrance of the town, dressed in a Lion Eagle Mage Academy school uniform.

They took a closer look and found it was Andrew?

“Andrew?” Taylor’s frozen expression instantly melted. She quickened her pace and ran over. “Why are you here?”

Sure enough, didn’t Taylor recognize me last night?

Andrew thought to himself and felt grateful to Jason.

Thanks to his armor, his identity was not exposed last night.

After all, the existence of Kelly and his current magic power were too shocking. It was good to be a low-profile person.

“Are you also here for a mission?” Taylor held Andrew’s hand in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Kaleb couldn’t help but grind his teeth.

It was not a big deal that he was humiliated by the demonic wind ghost wolf last night, but now Taylor was so intimate with Andrew in front of him.

All of a sudden, Kaleb’s anger was focused on Andrew.

Andrew nodded, “Yes, I just took on a task.”

Taylor was a little relieved.

Fortunately, Andrew came late. If he had come earlier than us, he would have been killed by the wind diabolic wolf.

Even Kaleb and I would have been doomed if the mysterious moonlight knight hadn’t arrived.

“Fortunately, you are late.”

Andrew was confused, “What do you mean?”

Taylor shook her head and said nothing. She just smiled with relief.

Kaleb sneered, “So you took the task alone? I admire your courage.

But unfortunately, you escaped, bastard.”

Taylor said crossly, “We also escaped from the disaster. Someone was so scared that he ran away.”

Kaleb’s face froze.

Andrew asked indifferently, “Is the wind diabolic wolf very powerful?”

Kaleb sneered, “Not much. With your strength, you can hold on for ten seconds.”

Seeing that he had recovered and forgotten about the pain, Taylor was furious. “Some people say sweet words to me when he chases me, saying that he will protect me for a lifetime.

As a result, when I was in danger, he left me behind and ran away.”

Kaleb’s face darkened.

He stammered, “If… If I hadn’t hit the wind diabolic wolf at the beginning, how could that mysterious man win so easily?”

The main credit lies in me. He just happened to be opportunistic.”

“Really?”

Taylor snorted, “If it was Andrew, he would protect me with his body even if he couldn’t defeat it.”

While saying that, Taylor subconsciously clung to Andrew.

But Andrew still looked at her with a typical cold expression.

This scene made Kaleb, who was full of complaints, even more furious.

‘That mysterious man could do it. Even a bastard like Andrew dared to look down upon me.

Just wait and see. One day, no matter who that mysterious man is, Taylor or Andrew, he will kneel at my feet.’

Andrew was thinking, ‘It seems that my identity was not exposed last night. It’s good.’

But the name “Moonlight knight” was too stupid.

In this way, although the commission of the wind diabolic wolf was completed by a mysterious person since the mysterious person was not here, the three of them still had to report to the leader.

Therefore, the three of them passed through the Vulture mountain town and entered the castle.

Hearing that it was about the fight against the wind diabolic wolf, the three of them came to the office of the leader Agres.

The leader was a middle-aged man with curly hair and a little fat.

Hearing that the wind diabolic wolf was dead, the three of them warmly welcomed when the three went into the house.

Taylor didn’t lie. She told the truth that the demonic wind ghost wolf was killed by the moonlight knight last night.

This made Kaleb very dissatisfied.

After all, the moonlight knight had left, and he was not a member of Lion Eagle Mage Academy.

God, you, and I know. We can be said to be rewarded for killing.

“Moonlight knight?” The leader rubbed his chin with his index finger. After thinking for a while, he said, “No matter what, strictly speaking, the wind diabolic wolf was hunted by you.

The demonic wind ghost wolf was a diabolic beast after its evolution, which was not by the commission.

You have completed the commission.”

Then the leader took out a money bag and put it on the tea table. “This is your reward. Please go back and report it to the school yourself.”

“Thank you, sir!” Since the leader had made the decision, Taylor had no reason to refuse. She accepted the money and transport scroll.

The reason why the leader did so must be that he wanted to have a good relationship with Lion Eagle Mage Academy.

After all, this amount of money was not a problem for the leader.

If he could get along well with one of the top four mage academies with such a little money, it would be a good deal even if he gave it for free.

But Andrew was a little disappointed.

Should three people share the rewards equally?

But on second thought, ‘I can earn more money with the token. In this battle, I have gained something more important than that.’

However, just as Andrew and Taylor thought it was over.

Kaleb said abruptly.

“By the way, sir, I heard that you will betroth your daughter to the person who will complete this commission?”

Hearing this, the leader’s face changed.

This idiot!

Taylor and Andrew cursed in their hearts.

Taylor said, “Sir, we have completed the commission. Kaleb, don’t push your luck.”

However, Kaleb leaned back on the sofa fearlessly and said, “With all due respect, the commission is original to attack the wind diabolic wolf. The moment the wind diabolic wolf evolved, the commission has no effect.

As a commission executor, it was the responsibility of the sponsor to make the commission invalid. Even if it was ineffective, the sponsor had to perform the task of paying.

But we still fulfilled the Commission even though it was ineffective.

Besides, I have to rely on my commanding ability and magic control to complete this battle safely.”

While saying that, Kaleb looked at the leader, Agres, with an evil smile on his face, and said, “The leader’s daughter, Miss Rachel, has she reached the marriageable age this year?

Let me introduce myself first. I’m the apprentice of the director Nicholas, the fourth prince of Iron Pagoda Empire, Kaleb.”

Teaching apprentice?

Iron Pagoda Empire?

Agres’s face darkened.

He, the leader of the Vulture mountain, couldn’t afford to offend either of these two names.

Looking at the snicker on Kaleb’s face, Agres felt regretful.

He had planned to solve the problem of the wind diabolic wolf and make friends with Lion Eagle Mage Academy through this Commission.

Why did he meet such a disaster?

However, just as Agres was in a dilemma.

“Father, don’t worry.”

A cold voice came from behind him.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The back door of the office suddenly opened.

A beautiful figure came into view.
