Chapter 458 Forbidden Potion
Bloodline Hall:
Tony Burnett’s time was over. He was summoned by his superior. He was given a last chance to redeem himself.
But Tony failed to accomplish the task. He didn’t expect Vincent Carey to disappear in the middle of the mission.
Currently, he was in his training room. There is still time left to meet his superior. In the meantime, he had thought about practicing.
But he wasn’t able to focus at all. With just a little push forward, he can reach level-6. Maybe his status would change further.
But because of this sudden summons. He lost focus. All of this is because of one person. The image of Vincent Carey comes to his mind.
Both didn’t have much interaction except for one meeting. So he didn’t know much about Vincent Carey personally.
If he had more interaction, maybe he could have guessed Vincent’s hole cards. Right now, he knows another high-level Sub-taboo wizard is backing Vincent.
He thinks much of his failure was because of Gilbert’s intervention. Even he feels Vincent’s disappearance was a lot to deal with.
Maybe he could have warned Vincent with a forehand. Tony feels helpless. If he had support from the higher-ups, then he could have made better plans.
But the bloodline hall superiors are being way more cautious. And he doesn’t know why?
An hour later,
Tony left the room to meet his superior. The Elder House and above higher-ups have their own space.
But the area is larger and wider than the bloodline hall. It could have been said as a high-level area of the bloodline hall.
No Core House members & True House members are allowed here unless summoned.
This structure is the same for other wizard halls as well.
Tony Burner received coordinates in his communication watch. After walking out of the room, he found the phone booth nearby.
The phone booth setup is one of the means of travel inside the building.
After entering the booth, he types the coordinates.
Vibrate~
The phone booth moved. The surroundings went black. Before he knew it the phone booth stopped vibrating. Which means he arrived at the destination.
Creak~
Stepping out, Tony was greeted by a luxurious hall room. But the aesthetics are similar to their bloodline hall building. But he can tell that this was not theirs.
It’s the living space of their higher-ups. As this realization struck him. A small sweat bead trickled down his face.
Tud~
Before he could calm down his nerves. A heavy footstep sound woke him up from his stupor.
“This?” π·πΉβ΄πΏπ.π¬πΈπ
Tony raised his head. The next second, he saw someone was already in front of him. But the person was covered with a black robe from top to bottom.
He immediately realized this person was not a male. The person in front of him is a high-level female wizard.
And he knows she was not the one who gave him orders last time.
“So you are Tony Burnett?” The female voice sounded. The next second, he felt his blood boiling without his permission.
“What kind of sorcery is this?” He said to himself.
His face was filled with surprise. But the next second, his thoughts return to reality.
He immediately replied, “Yes, elder. I’m Tony Burnett from the Burnett Clan.”
“Well, someone asked me to say something to you.”
“Your recent performance was not good. And you failed in your task as well. So he is not going to give you a bloodline optimization potion.”
The female wizard said in a sweet voice. But Tony Burnett felt the sound of a thunderclap in his ears. He had pinned his entire hope on the bloodline optimization potion.
Which was his only way to become a level-8 wizard in the future. In these few seconds, his face becomes bloodless.
He clenched his fist in desperation.
The female wizard noticed all of this. But her expression was hidden under the hood. Her eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
She has not come here to give a small speech.
Seeing that the kid is desperate. She decided to change the discussion to the main topic.
“Well, there is a way to accomplish the task,” She said, looking at Tony.
Tony thought he heard something wrong. When he raised his head to see her. The female wizard is taking something from her storage bracelet.
“Potion bottle,” Tony uttered. He saw a thick red bottle in her hand.
“This is a forbidden blood potion. Take this and ask one of your clan elders to kill Vincent Carey. We are running out of time.”
“If you fail to accomplish this time, don’t think about becoming a level-7 wizard,” She said in a sweet voice.
Tony felt a reaction in his blood again. He wants to run away from this place as soon as possible.
In pain, he nodded his head. And after getting the forbidden blood potion. He immediately left the place using the phone booth.
The female wizard let out a small chuckle.
“Wolf bloodline, that’s all,” She muttered to herself. If not for the brat being the young master of the wizard clan. He would have already died under his hands.
Thinking about the cruel person. She shook her head in disappointment. She doesn’t know how the future of bloodline hall is going to be.
A few minutes later,
Tony Burnett returned to his room. But his expression was not right. At first, he found something wrong with the female elder. Her words caused his bloodline to react.
Even more, he wasn’t able to tell who she was. There are many bloodline wizards in the elder house. He knows a few names because of family connections.
But she is not among them. Then removing the thoughts, he focused on the dark red liquid bottle in his hand.
Thinking about becoming a level-7 wizard. His eyes shone with bright light. He knows the dangers of using the forbidden potion. But if someone consumes the blood potion, it will raise their rank by one level.
So one of their elders can become a level-7 wizard. But after some time the side effects will be reduced.
But right now most of the elders are out of the capital. They are looking for Vincent Carey. So even if he wants to, it’s not the right time to use it. Unless Vincent Carey appears back.
So in the meantime, he decides to carry the forbidden potion with him.
Meanwhile,
Gilbert Reese was out of the city again. But this time it was for a different reason. He knows Vincent will stay some time in a foreign country.
So he is going to make some safety arrangements. In these past few days, he also gathered some intelligence information.
Someone from the bloodline hall is using his family’s power to find Vincent Carey. And who are they? He also knows about them.
“Burnett Clan,” He said to himself.
Currently, he is going to Rust City. Which is located at the border. Vincent and Gutt Brown got separated there. He is aware of Vincent’s information.
But he doesn’t know the status of Gutt Brown.
He had tried to establish contact. But he got no response. Recently, higher-ups from the Elemental Hall contacted him. He assured them to look into this matter.
Now he had no choice but to find himself. He fears that the bloodline might mistakenly target him. Because he was last seen together with Vincent Carey.
Swoosh~
His aircraft is speeding towards the destination. In a few hours, he will reach the spot. It took Vincent Carey a month-long trip to reach Rust City.
But with modern magic aircraft, he will reach there in no time.
Meanwhile,
Burnett Clan’s elder Cortez is still staying in Rust City. He doesn’t leave even after the time limit. All he knows is that the target will appear sooner or later.
Already, the Burnett clan dispatched most of their power. He is responsible for monitoring this place. Whereas another elder Parker is staying in another town.
All of them are patiently biding time for the target to appear.
…
From MC’s perspective:
“Good,” I uttered with a smile on my face.
Looking at the transformation in my mirror. A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes. There is not much change in my appearance.
But its disguise is enough to fool people around me. I decided to check the status panel as well. To see for any changes.
