Chapter 78 Handling of All Parties

"You're so cruel!"

Harold Andrews stopped struggling, stared intently at Link, and said hatefully.

"He who kills will be killed by others."

Link smiled, his expression full of mockery: "Killing someone with public opinion is no different from killing someone with witchcraft. If you want to kill me, I'll just have to kill you first."

After saying that, Link refused to listen to any more nonsense.

With a thought, he cast a water ball spell, summoning a round water ball that blocked Harold Andrews' mouth.

And so, Link silently looked down at Harold Andrews.

Watching the other person's life force slowly slip away, seeing the deep regret and resentment in their eyes, watching their struggle, seeing their venomous hatred before death.

After a long while, Harold Andrews' life came to an end.

He died a painful death.

Link took a deep breath to calm his mind, which was not as calm as it appeared.

Another enemy falls, another massacre ensues.

The door that had opened a crack in my heart has opened a little wider.

From the day they left the Quetzal Islands, the killing was destined to be endless.

Perhaps, one day, that door will be fully open.

Link shut out his emotional outbursts, entering a state of detached, purely rational indifference, and began to deal with the scene.

The magic-suppressing net was withdrawn, and the thorny entanglements were removed.

Using a little water-based magic, they created a large patch of ice to freeze Harold Andrews' body.

New blood in the Storm Sea can die in the West District, but their bodies must be preserved.

This is an unspoken rule, and also the bottom line of the academy.

Finally, the thick fog that had been obscuring the entrance to Spider's End Alley dissipated.

Link was spotless, showing no signs of battle, and leisurely left Spider's End Alley.

Throughout the journey, Link appeared fearless, but was secretly more vigilant than when he arrived.

After the battle, everyone's condition will be somewhat damaged, and their combat power will inevitably decrease. Link must be wary of others jumping out to take advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, Link was lucky and safely left the West District and arrived at the Ring Road.

After confirming that he wasn't being followed, Link entered the first bus station and boarded the driverless bus back to school.

Only then did he completely relax.

Looking back, there are many reasons why I suddenly had such a strong murderous intent today.

A large part of it came from resentment towards what Harold Andrews had done.

Hatred of online violence accounts for a small part.

In addition, he vented his frustration at Sophie Lucia on Harold Andrews.

Perhaps because Link had just committed a massacre, his demeanor appeared extremely cold and ruthless.

As the local wizarding apprentices and Stormsea newcomers boarded the driverless bus one after another, preparing to return to school, not a single one was willing, or rather, dared to sit next to Link.

Spider's End Alley.

Shortly after Link left, several street thugs returned to the scene.

"This guy is really ruthless."

Seeing Harold Andrews's grotesque, unseeing death, the gang leader couldn't help but shudder and sigh in disbelief.

"Fortunately, this guy didn't want to get dirty and didn't intend to kill us."

A thug with blond hair and a nose ring picked up the conversation, his tone full of relief.

"Sigh, when will we be able to be as arrogant as them!"

Another thug with tattoos all over his arms had a look of longing on his face.

Stop fucking daydreaming!

With a slap, the gang leader slapped the tattooed thug on the head and said sternly, "Hurry up and strip off the rune items, magic stones and stuff, then notify the police to come and collect the body. We can make a little money that way."

"oh."

The thugs' henchmen showed none of their usual enthusiasm for rummaging through corpses.

They were all listless and dispirited.

Having witnessed how a truly ruthless person of their age (Link is tall and strong) acts so arrogantly, how could the thugs, recalling their own sneaky and sordid deeds, possibly muster any enthusiasm?

The gang leader had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, unfreeze the body, quickly search it, and then freeze Harold Andrews' corpse again.

Leading his men, carrying several rune items and a few magic stones, the gang leader quickly left Spider's End Alley.

Before leaving, the gang leader deliberately activated the emergency help function of Harold Andrews's personal AI.

Before long, two intelligent law enforcement robots flew over.

One unit was assigned to guard the perimeter, while the other was assigned to explore the area; the division of labor was clear.

Having identified the deceased and surveyed the battle scene, the intelligent law enforcement puppet automatically generated an incident report, which was sent to the Rivosos City Police Department and copied to the City Hall, the Main Tower, and the law enforcement department of Rivosos Academy (abbreviated as Rivosos).

The police station's vehicles were the first to arrive at the scene.

A dashing young female wizard jumped off the hovercar, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and then made no further move.

For her, the death of a new blood in the chaotic West District Storm Sea was not enough to cause the slightest ripple in her heart.

The college's law enforcement vehicles arrived shortly afterward.

An elderly man with a full head of white hair slowly got off the hovercar, then slowly circled the corpse once before snapping his fingers.

The hovercraft immediately deployed two tracked intelligent golems, which used robotic arms to quickly put the body into body bags and lift them into the hovercraft's trunk.

"Thank you for making the trip, Dia."

The old man nodded slightly to the young female wizard, exchanged pleasantries, and without even waiting for her response, boarded the hovercar and left.

"See you later, Cody."

The young female wizard Dia didn't seem surprised and waved goodbye.

The old man was not actually an old man, but a contemporary of the young female wizard Dia, who had failed to ascend to the sage realm and whose life force had faded, making him appear old.

After returning to the academy to retire, the old man, also known as Wizard Cody, took on many roles, keeping him extremely busy compared to Wizard Dia's leisurely work at the police station.

Naturally, they wouldn't want to waste time.

The wizard Dia didn't want to stay any longer, so she immediately boarded her hovercar and left the scene.

The Academy, the Law Enforcement Department.

Only after delivering Harold Andrews' body to the recycling center did Wizard Cody have time to carefully read the incident report drafted by the intelligent law enforcement puppet.

And the deceased's academic performance and interpersonal relationships obtained through the Academy's main tower spirit.

"Link Grand," a slightly familiar name came into view.

Based on the terms "public opinion smear", "lesser mist rain spell", "thorn entanglement" and "spell-breaking crossbow" mentioned in the two documents, Wizard Cody made a preliminary analysis and conjecture about the incident.

"That little guy is tough."

Wizard Cody sighed as he recalled the precocious first-year student.

Why?

Because Link Grand never intended to hide from the Academy that he had killed Harold Andrews.

Be open and honest.

His actions did not violate any of the college's rules, including the timely handling of the body.

This ensures that the college can maximize resource recovery.

So what's there to be afraid of?

"That's outrageous!"

Wizard Cody slammed his hand on his desk. "He must be summoned!"
