Lord Wizard

Chapter 7 The Hypnotist

"A little interest is acceptable. I'm someone with a silver spoon in my mouth, so a little temper isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Lin Meng shook the blood off his sword.

A moment later, he picked up the dark green ring.

He has no other skills, but he has an excellent memory. He's maxed out his skills in doing practice problems and studying books. In the past two weeks, he's gone through a lot of information provided by Blue Flame Company, and he can now identify this ring...

It's a demonized item!

These are valuable, enchanted items that only qualified wizards can create!

Even an ordinary person wielding such a demonized item could kill a great knight by surprise.

If sold to a company, it could fetch a price of over a million!

"As expected of the eldest son of the Sunrise Group."

Lin Meng put the ring away.

He needs to figure out whether to keep the ring or exchange it for some money.

Back then, in order to save money to buy an island, he didn't send much money home. Later, he lost a lawsuit and ended up having to pay his family a lot of money. If it had been converted into cash, millions of dollars would have significantly improved his family's living conditions.

……

At 11 p.m., Hill City was still brightly lit.

As a modern city, the nightlife here is just beginning.

In the Hill Center business district, the headquarters of the Sunrise Group is located opposite the Blue Flame Technology Company's building.

One company is the most powerful game company in the country, while the other is like a dragon crossing the river, fiercely competing with each other, even in the apartment complex where they live.

At this moment, the members of the Rising Sun Group, who should have been in the Wizarding World or already resting, gathered together.

A blond man pressed his temples tightly with both hands, as if he hadn't slept for several days. He forced himself to stay awake, looking extremely pale and reporting something to the crowd, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

"That's the situation. As for what happened after that, I don't know. As soon as I woke up, I rushed over to check on Young Master Hongguang. I found that Young Master Hongguang's body in the Wizarding World had been killed, and he had fallen into a coma."

"Dironclad, you were killed with a single sword strike before you could even react. Your enemy is no weakling; he might even be a high-ranking knight."

Dillon's captain, Gard, analyzed based on his description.

"What's the use of saying all this now? Jiade, come downstairs with me. The chairman is on his way. You'd better pray that Young Master Hongguang is alright, otherwise we'll all be implicated."

The game department director, Coreville, sitting in the upper seat, reprimanded the two men and then beckoned Gard to leave.

"Dilong was really unlucky to take on this mission, and ended up losing his life as well. But if he hadn't died but Young Master Hongguang had, that would have been truly unlucky. Now that he died before Hongguang, it can be considered a sacrifice in the line of duty to some extent."

After the supervisor left, the remaining people immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"By the way, is it really necessary to take Young Master Hongguang to the hospital in his current condition?"

"Hongguang is clearly in a state of mental collapse. He thinks he is already dead. If he is sent to the hospital, he will probably be diagnosed as a vegetable."

Humanity is accustomed to this scene.

"Mental collapse, cognitive death, only top hypnotists can awaken him. Several directors of the group should have this ability. I guess the chairman invited one of the directors, which is why no one was sent to the hospital for Young Master Hongguang."

One of the members who knew some of the inside information speculated.

"Alright, enough talk. Let's discuss the next task. Dillon won't be able to return to the wizarding world for a long time, and our tasks are getting heavier."

……

"Lord Muyi, how is my child now?"

A steady and powerful voice came from Hongguang's ward.

Inside the room, Coreville and Captain Garde could only stand respectfully to the side and wait. Beside the bed were two middle-aged men in suits. One of them, who was standing at the foot of the bed, bore a resemblance to Hongguang lying on the bed. He was none other than Xuri Benyun, the chairman of the behemoth Xuri Group.

The middle-aged man examining Hongguang is Muyi, a director of the Asahi Group.

Unlike Benyun, Muyi gives people a very mysterious feeling, especially her eyes, which seem to be able to see through people's hearts and bewitch all living beings.

He glanced at Benyun and said calmly, "It's a self-protective mechanism of the brain. I'll wake him up in a bit, but some mental damage is inevitable."

"Thank you for your help, Lord Muyi."

"Um."

Mu Yi responded, her gaze fixed on Hong Guang on the bed.

For some reason, Coreville and Gard felt the room become incredibly oppressive in an instant, as if some mysterious force had shielded and isolated everything in the room, interfering with what they saw and heard.

Just as the two were struggling to breathe due to the oppressive discomfort, they heard a soft "Ugh!" and Hongguang, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.

"I...I'm not dead, am I?"

Hongguang's eyes were filled with lingering terror, his consciousness seemingly still lingering on the scene before his death in the wizarding world.

A moment later, a surge of intense pain overwhelmed him, causing him to scream in agony, "Ah! My head hurts so much...it's killing me..."

"What are you yelling about? You're not going to die."

Benyun, standing by the bed, snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied with Hongguang's performance.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen someone in such a mentally torn state, nor had he ever seen anyone else so desperate to die.

"Ah, Father, it really hurts so much, I can't take it anymore."

"Stop playing the victim with me. With the token I gave you, how could you be killed so easily?"

Benyun snorted in dissatisfaction, then, remembering that this was, after all, his child, softened his tone slightly and said, "Do you remember who killed you in the wizarding world?"

"I...I wanted to get information out of him...but he was too cautious..."

Hongguang clutched his head in anguish.

"snort!"

Benyun glanced at Coreville: "Has he gotten into any trouble lately, revealing his identity?"

"this……"

When Benyun asked about it, Coreville glanced at Hongguang lying on the bed.

When Hongguang was promoted to knight in the wizarding world, he made a big fuss about it in the company, so it wasn't difficult to find out.

Knowing his son's character, Benyun quickly realized the same thing and could only ask again, "Can you deduce who did it?"

After a moment's thought, Coreville said, "Currently, only four forces in Hill City are developing in the wizarding world, and among them, Blue Flame Company is our fiercest competitor, so..."

"Blue Flame..."

A cold glint flashed in Benyun's eyes.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Clean up all of Blue Flame's spies within the company, and also find out who did it. Once you find out, send someone to deal with them immediately."

Coreville and Gard nodded in agreement and left the room.

Both Benyun and Muyi put too much pressure on them.

Especially Mu Yi, who seemed completely transparent in his presence, and no one could hide a secret from him.
