Wizard Earl

Chapter 675 Escape

Watching the brown-haired young man slowly pick up the banknotes and put them back in his wallet without any intention of cooperating, a cold glint flashed in Bald J's eyes. However, just as he was about to shout a reprimand, his gaze suddenly froze, and his face seemed somewhat bewildered.

Seeing that their boss seemed a bit off, three or five soldiers stood to the side, one of whom, being particularly burly, mustered his courage and whispered to the bald officer, "Lord Ruben... Lord Ruben..."

The burly military policeman called out several times, but the bald, third-level military officer, whom he addressed as "Lord Ruben," did not respond. His gaze remained somewhat vacant. Just as the burly military policeman was getting impatient and was about to approach his superior, the bald military officer seemed to have recovered. He turned to the burly military policeman and said, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing Bald J's reply, the burly soldier breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Lord Ruben, it's nothing. I just noticed that you seemed a little abnormal just now..." As he finished speaking, the burly soldier seemed to realize that he had misspoke, and his voice grew softer and softer!

"snort!"

Bald J. Sruben glared at the soldier who said he was abnormal, then snorted coldly. His attitude immediately made the burly soldier tremble with fear.

Just then, the brown-haired young man standing to the side took something out of his pocket and handed it to the bald J. Sruben, saying apologetically, "Excuse me, Officer J, I suddenly remembered that I have my resident ID card with me. Could you please check if there's any problem?"

Upon hearing the brown-haired young man's words, the bald J. Sruben glanced at the item the young man had handed him, then returned it to him, saying sternly, "Go! If you had taken this out earlier, none of this would have happened! You're wasting my time here, hurry up and leave!" He waved, indicating the young man could go. The soldiers beside him, seeing their superior had already checked and approved it, no longer suspected anything and released the young man from the guard post.

Faced with the bald officer's reprimand, the brown-haired young man gave an awkward laugh, jogging to throw out the sentry post while hurriedly saying, "Thank you for your help, Officer J!"

As the brown-haired young man walked away from the checkpoint, a rather stocky soldier spat on the ground and said with a hint of envy and resentment, "Such a coward, yet he dares to come out and cheat on his wife? He should be detained here until her husband comes back and we'll see how we deal with him."

Hearing the short, stocky soldier's complaint, several soldiers nearby burst into laughter. The Level 3 J officer, however, remained unsmiling. Seeing an old woman walking towards his post from the Simone community, he simply waved to his men, signaling them to prepare for work.

However, as the old woman hobbled towards the checkpoint, just as the bald J. Sruben cleared his throat and opened his mouth, ready to righteously demand her resident ID, something unexpected happened. His gaze suddenly fixed on her, and without any warning, he collapsed to the ground…

As bald J. Sruben collapsed, in a deserted alley near the Simone neighborhood, the brown-haired young man who had just left the neighborhood glanced around discreetly. Seeing that no one was around, he nodded slightly. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded: the brown-haired young man's facial features began to distort. In just a few seconds, he transformed into a completely different young man—handsome and dashing.

Connor took out a top hat from his spatial ring, put it on, and transformed back into his original form. He took a deep breath and hurried towards the Rune Beach. The mental mark he left on Martina, which was about to dissipate, told him that Martina should have escaped old Victor's pursuit and appeared at the Rune Beach. In addition, judging from this coordinate, Martina's next move was probably to escape by boat.

Last night, from his apartment in the Simone neighborhood, Connor, with the help of the Alchemist Telescope, practically witnessed old Victor, leaning on his cane, enter the Semedo Mansion. This news was undoubtedly excellent for Connor, as it meant that the conflict between Martina and old Victor that Connor had been hoping for had occurred, and his perfect opportunity to reap the benefits had arrived!

However, just as Connor was getting restless and preparing to sneak into the vicinity of Semedo Mansion, two buckets of cold water extinguished all the flames in his heart. The first bucket of cold water was that Connor discovered many wizards dressed in plain clothes, lurking around Semedo Mansion, Simony neighborhood, and Lewandowski Avenue.

There were about five people in the group, each of whom was a mid-level wizard apprentice. They were very secretive. If it weren't for Connor's strong mental power today, plus the help of the alchemical telescope, it would have been difficult for him to find them. Their appearance immediately startled Connor. However, just as Connor was wondering about their identities...

A tall, robust white man, standing at least 1.9 meters tall and dressed in a light blue outfit, appeared in Connor's field of vision through his telescope. Although this big guy's aura was perfectly concealed, Connor's powerful intuition as a psychic wizard still allowed him to sense the aura of a high-level wizard apprentice emanating from him.

This robust, large man appeared to be the leader of this group of stealthy wizards. Under his command, the ten intermediate wizard apprentices were quietly hiding around the Semedo Mansion, seemingly weaving a large net, waiting for the owner of the Semedo Mansion to rush out at any moment.

Although Connor was certain that he had never seen this big guy before today, he would definitely remember such a large high-level wizard apprentice if he had seen him once. However, even though this was the first time he had seen him, the description of a person that Varga had mentioned came to Connor's mind!
