Chapter 132 Give up

"Sorry to bother you, you can go."Dieter spoke up and ordered his soldiers to clear a path for Kain to move through.

Kain knew Dieter had made his choice.

Just as Kain passed Dieter, he suddenly spoke.

"We had to do this to capture a murderer who escaped into the Dungeon, we hope you understand."

"Okay, if I remember anything I'll let you know."

Kain said calmly and walked away.

Dieter was silent, looking at Kain's back as it gradually disappeared into the crowd.

He then went to another more secret place to contact his father.

"Father."

"Mission completed?"

"No father, this time the target seems very difficult to touch."

"Oh, tell me."

Dieter then presented the information he had gathered in detail, even including his speculations. After listening, his father not only did not get angry, but also chuckled.

"Dieter, you are my proudest son, but this time you made a mistake in one thing."

"What is that, father?"

Dieter quickly turned his thoughts around, and noticed nothing unusual.

"Dieter, if that student didn't know that Horon and Horan were nobles, then he wouldn't have needed to do so many things."

"So, what should we do..."

"Forget it, I'll warn those people while I'm at it, don't think that little move can fool me."

"I know, father."

"Also... I remember your little brother also became a student at Kanzax Academy this year, right?"

…

After passing Dieter's checkpoint, Kain quickly bought a loose brown cloak to conceal himself, then hired a carriage to return to Esten.

Kain remained silently vigilant throughout the journey, although he had predicted most of the events that would happen after killing the twins, and he knew that the noble family would not be able to do anything to him. However, the domineering manner in which they acted gave Kain a bad feeling.

Therefore, it is possible that they decided to attack Kain on his way back and pretend it was a robbery by bandits.

That was why Kain was trying to leave so quickly, so that if he was attacked, the timing would be extremely coincidental. Once the academy investigated, this matter would absolutely not be able to be hidden.

Even if Dieter's army wiped out the town of Kadata, it would be useless.

A lone carriage, not accompanied by a well-armed caravan, was the perfect target for bandits, even though bandits were already very rare here.

Kain wanted to see if they would fall for his bait.

And even if they don't take the bait, they're still falling deeper into Kain's trap. They wouldn't dare attack, because the opportunity to attack was too coincidental and too obvious, which put Kain in a truly safe state.

Obviously, Kain's move could not fool Dieter, who was in complete control of the town of Kadata.

Kain's behavior puzzled Dieter, causing him to once again report to his father.

"Father, that student is doing something very strange again…"

Dieter told what Kain had done. After he finished speaking, he stopped, but from his slightly slowed and hesitant tone, his father sensed something.

"Dieter, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me."

"Father, I think... isn't this a perfect opportunity to catch that guy?"

"Perfect opportunity? Why do you think so?"

"That student didn't go with any caravan, he just rented a carriage to leave. Alone, with no witnesses, we can completely pretend it was a bandit attack..."

Dieter had not finished his sentence when his father interrupted him.

"Once again, you are wrong, my son."

"Don't you think this timing is too coincidental? If you dare to attack that student at this time, my child, you will definitely appear under investigation by Kanzax Academy. No exceptions."

"So just leave it."

Apparently, Dieter's father had also seen through Kain's first-order calculations. But after cutting off contact with his son, he suddenly thought of something.

In the city of Pyce, inside a study of a large mansion.

A man slightly raised his lips, swaying the dark wine glass in his hand, his noble yet dangerous aura radiating.

"So this is your goal." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This person was Cyrus, Dieter's father, the "that person" in the mouths of the rulers in Kadata, and also a brother of the same generation as Horon and Horan.

Just then, he thought of the real trap that would help Kain ensure his own safety.

"It is true that you cannot look down on others."

Cyrus put down his glass of wine and slowly walked to the window.

If you want to face enemies like Kain, the most important thing is to always ask yourself.

"Does he know what I'm thinking and what I'm planning to do?"

That's the core.

In this ambiguous fight, his son was clearly outclassed by Kain from start to finish, even before Dieter set foot in Kadata.

Dieter, although relatively wise, was still not experienced enough, he was not profound enough to see into the deeper nature of things. That was why he kept falling into Kain's traps.

If it weren't for Dieter being relatively careful, asking his father for advice on things that were a little out of his reach instead of making his own decisions, their entire family would have been in big trouble.

Standing before that giant monster that is Kanzax Academy, even the noble family at the top of Pyce city had to fear, let alone them who had not yet reached that level.

Kanzax Academy, although not a centralized organization by nature, did not mean that they had little power to mobilize. Without even needing that, just the fact that one of the teachers here was a high-class Magus was enough to overwhelm the majority of the forces in Kanzax province.

It can be said that the three years as a student at Kanzax Academy are the safest three years.

And Kain is in this position, if they touch him and it gets exposed, they will definitely not have a good ending. Kanzax Academy is extremely protective of its students. As long as their students are not the ones making the mistake.
