Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 1774: The Infinite Circle Leader

Crystal City

Holden Barrett shifted his gaze. It fell upon the masked man, the central figure of the event. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Holden walked up to him.

He said, “I’m Holden Barrett. I represent both the Silver Tower and the Barrett Family.”

After speaking, he glanced at Jason Nicholson, Wilfred Cox, and Susan Park before looking back at the masked man.

“I’m Frank. It’s good to see such an important person coming for the function,” I said to him.

Hearing that, Holden revealed a bright smile. He had a good impression of the shop owner. The butler, Gideon, nodded; he didn’t feel any malice coming from the masked man.

I then led both the trio and Holden Barrett to the gallery room, their elders following closely behind. Once inside, I began to show them my collection.

Holden and the others weren’t quiet; they were fascinated by the magic artifacts stored inside the gallery containers, observing them intently.

The elders behind them were surprised as well. They hadn’t expected to see such high-grade artifacts here. While they observed the items, I went to greet other guests.

On the other hand, Manager Lara and her friends were speaking with the visitors. Lara knew people from the local forces were there and wanted to widen their connections.

She believed they would be helpful to Vincent Carey, as the support of local forces was vital for the business.

Not long after, she caught a glimpse of Jason Nicholson, Wilfred Cox, and Susan Park. She wasn’t surprised, but she wanted to see Vincent Carey’s reaction.

Her gaze wandered, but she didn’t find Vincent in the gallery room. She realized he might be entertaining other guests elsewhere.

In the living area, I was busy entertaining guests when I noticed someone important arriving.

Rebecca Ethan had come with her parents. The middle-aged couple was well-dressed, and both wore doctor’s badges on their chests.

The crowd recognized the couple immediately. Seeing this, I made an excuse to the people I was with and went to greet them.

“Ms. Rebecca, I’m glad you are here with your family,” I said.

“It’s nice to be here,” Rebecca replied, handing me a gift.

I accepted the gift with a smile before passing it to Hank, who was standing next to me. After greeting her mother and father properly, I took them to the gallery room.

Her parents were talkative and optimistic. They were mesmerized by the objects inside the glass containers and began to appreciate the items.

I spoke with Rebecca for a few minutes before moving on to other guests.

There were so many people that I couldn’t afford to make mistakes, especially by spending too much time with only a few individuals.

I had already impressed several heads of the local forces, yet the heads of the most important groups had yet to arrive.

I was particularly looking forward to meeting the heads of the Wizard Associations.

Meanwhile, two people from the Infinite Circle reached the destination.

The representatives were a middle-aged man, the leader of the Infinite Circle, Edmund Smith and his assistant. Edmund was a Magic Lord.

His assistant, Jonah, was slightly younger and a Supreme Wizard. Both were there after receiving an invitation.

Edmund was dressed in a blue tuxedo, while Jonah wore mercenary clothes, as he handled most of the battles against their enemies.

A loud gasp occurred as they walked into the venue.

Edmund saw the shocked reactions of the crowd and enjoyed the attention before revealing a wide smile. As a Magic Lord, he mostly saw Supremes here.

Just as he felt a surge of superiority, he saw an old man sitting in a wooden rocking chair. His pupils shrank.

The air of superiority disappeared instantly. Edmund didn’t expect to find someone else of Magic Lord level here.

“I don’t know which force he is from,” Edmund thought. He then shifted his attention and started interacting with others. Jonah began interacting with the crowd as well.

At the same time, Otto had been listening to everyone’s conversations from the start. His job was to record information and identify hostile or non-hostile forces.

When he heard the leader of the Infinite Circle had arrived, his expression became serious because the man was a Magic Lord.

Old Man Rock also confirmed the leader’s strength and shared the information with Hank, who was accompanying me.

Back in the living area, Hank whispered into my ear. I was surprised but relieved. I had been hoping to meet the leaders of the Wizard Associations.

Many had already arrived, and now another important figure was here. I made an excuse and went to meet them.

When I reached the entrance, I saw the man in the blue tuxedo surrounded by a crowd.

It was similar to the scene with Holden Barrett, but this time, the person was a Magic Lord. I confirmed this using the system function.

As I approached the group, they greeted me. I exchanged pleasantries before looking toward the leader.

Edmund saw me and looked surprised.

“Boss, he is the shop owner, Frank,” Jonah said from his side.

A look of realization dawned on Edmund, and his smile widened further.

“I’m Edmund Smith, leader of the Infinite Circle. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Frank,” he said.

“It’s good to have you here,” I replied.

After saying that I led him to the gallery room again. The people who had watched the gallery collections have left the room already.

They were now in the living room. So the gallery room was not crowded. As they walked into the room, Edmund’s gaze fell on the precious collections inside the glass container.

He immediately recognised their worth.

Edmund then said, “Shop owner Frank, it’s a great day for all of Crystal City. From now on, everyone will be visiting our city because of your shop.”

Hearing that, I smiled and replied, “You overpraise me.”

“I’m telling the truth. Almost all the important people are here. Your name will surely spread to other Satellite cities.”

“I doubt they will have anyone of a similar caliber to you,” Edmund said.
