Chapter 1868 1868: Part 2: The Black Tower Stirs
Black Tower
The higher-ups of the Black Tower have tried to find out the location of the Forbidden Wizards Erwin and Charlotte.
But they failed to find any clues. Their whereabouts are elusive. Even the Silver Tower people might not know about their location.
Unfortunately, they have missed the opportunity to capture and eliminate the target. They don’t know what will happen if Wizard Vincent appears next time.
Wizard Vincent showed his strength as a Supreme Wizard. People got confirmation of his strength. They don’t know what his strength will be next time.
Wizard Vincent’s progress is fast. It’s similar to the growth rate of the genius prodigies of the top wizard families.
The higher-ups were disappointed. When the news was relayed back to the Forbidden Wizard Remi, he was shocked. Remi didn’t want to waste the opportunity.
He doesn’t know when the target will appear next time, so he wanted to confirm the intel. Remi then requested them to use the power of a Fate Wizard.
A Fate Wizard can easily locate a target. Then they can confirm whether the target has left the city or not. But regarding his request, the higher-ups rejected it.
It was not easy to get an appointment with a Fate Wizard in the first place. Furthermore, they won’t provide free service. It will cost a lot, even for Forbidden Wizards like them.
The higher-ups are not united enough to waste resources on this matter. If they want to kill Supreme Wizard Vincent, they can do it anytime.
So, the majority of them rejected the idea. When Forbidden Wizard Remi heard the news, he was shocked again.
He didn’t expect the higher-ups to change their minds. They were not as serious as him. They were not ready to waste resources.
Remi understood their words, but he got a bad feeling about it. He didn’t want to give any chances to Wizard Vincent.
He had made the same mistake back then. He had underestimated the kid. Now, he has grown to the level of a Supreme Wizard.
So, he was unwilling. But it doesn’t change the reality. If he can’t find the person, then he won’t be able to do anything.
Remi pondered for a couple of minutes before thinking of a solution. He knows a Fate Wizard, but he is someone from the Dark Faction.
He had used his help before to locate Wizard Vincent. At that time, the young man was a wizard-seed.
Remi decided to meet the same Fate Wizard again. He was an old man. Then, he requested one backup.
A Magic Lord came to replace him. He then told the person to wait here. Remi then left the borderlands.
He is going to the unknown dark territory to visit the Fate Wizard. Only after getting answers from the Fate Wizard will he think about the next plan.

Crystal City – Shop
Time passed.
In the office room, I noticed that customers have started visiting in regular numbers. If this number continues over the next couple of weeks, then the business will boom.
Buzz!
At this time, my device started ringing. I took the device out and saw the contact name. The person was none other than Manager Lara.
I answered the call.
“Manager Lara, what is it?” I asked.
There was silence for a couple of seconds.
“Vincent, the higher-ups have assigned a mission for you. You need to leave the Magic City ASAP,” Lara broke the news.
Hearing that, I was stunned. I didn’t expect the mission to come at this time.
“I know this news is too sudden for you. But the higher-ups have made a decision. Even Lords Erwin and Charlotte won’t be able to do anything,” Lara said.
“Higher-ups?” I uttered.
“Yes, the elders of the White Silver faction have assigned a mission for you. It’s your first mission, so you need to complete it to make a good impression,” Lara said.
“Okay,” I replied.
To be honest, I expected the mission to come. But it came too fast.
“Okay. Come to the Silver Tower to accept the mission,” Lara said before ending the call.
Then I put away my device into the storage bracelet.
I stood up and looked through the window. It’s evening time. Then I thought of something before calling my Assistant Jonah.
Jonah answered the call right away. I told him that I got a new assignment and I’m leaving the city. As usual, they need to collect the antiques; I will appraise them together.
Jonah was surprised, but he understood that it could be a huge order. He agreed.
Then I told him that they should continue with the intel sharing. And they have to give top-notch intel.
If I find a drop in information quality, then we will drop their service as well. Jonah understood the meaning behind it.
He assured me that their informer will not hide anything. He will continue to share top-notch information.
I told them that one of the staff members will be up on the terrace tonight. The informer should share information with him.
When I had explained everything, I ended the call. Then I summoned the members to my room. Fortunately, I didn’t release Zero Puppet today. I almost forgot about it.
Shortly afterwards:
Otto, Patrick, Hank, and old man Rock walked into the room. I used the probe function to check their health again. They were all in good condition.
So I can hand over the shop matters to them.
“I received a mission from the Silver Tower. I’m going to leave now. Before that, I have decided to hand over the shop to you guys,” I said.
Gasp!
The members were all shocked. They didn’t know what to do without Master Vincent.
Old man Rock collected his thoughts.
He said, “Master Vincent, you can go. I will protect the shop and them. No one will attack it.”
Otto, Patrick, and Hank then voiced their opinions one after another. They were ready to look after the shop.
“Okay, then I have one more task for Otto,” I said.
“What is it, Master?” Otto asked.
Then I told him about the informer. He is the spy for the Infinite Wizard Association. He will share the intel because of the deal.
