Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Handling from all sides_l

Translator: 549690339

“You’re so ruthless!”

Harold Andrews stopped struggling, his eyes firmly fixed on Link, he spoke with a loathsome tone.

“The killer is always hunted.”

Link smiled, his face full of scorn, “To kill with public opinion, or to kill with witchcraft, there’s no difference. You wanted to kill me, so I had to kill you first.”

As soon as the words fell, Link refused to hear any more nonsense.

With a flick of his mind, he cast a Water Ball Spell, conjuring a round water ball that blocked Harold Andrews’ mouth.

And so, Link quietly watched over Harold Andrews.

Watching the man’s vitality slowly ebbing away, watching the deep regret and refusal in his eyes, watching his struggle, watching the resentment on his face before death.

For a long time, Harold Andrews’ life came to an end.

He died a painful death.

Link took a deep breath, calming down his inner turmoil that contrasted his composed outer facade.

Another enemy has fallen, another act of murder.

The door in the depths of his heart, which opened just a crack, opened a little wider.

Since the day he left the Quete Archipelago, killings were destined to be endless.

Perhaps, one day, that door would fully open.

Link suppressed his emotional disturbance, entered a state of purely rational detachment, and began to clear the scene.

The anti-magic net was withdrawn, the Thorn Entanglement was removed.

He also used a little bit of Water Magic Technique to create a large piece of ice, which froze Harold Andrews’ body.

The Storm Sea New Blood could die in the West District, but the body had to be well preserved.

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

Finally, the dense fog that was covering the entrance of Spider Tail Alley dispersed.

Link came out with not a speck of dust on him, showing no traces of the fight, and leisurely left Spider Tail Alley.

Throughout his journey, Link’s facade showed no fear, but in secret, he was more alert than when he had first arrived.

After the fight, his state was somewhat damaged, his combat power was bound to be reduced, and Link had to be wary of others trying to profit from his fight.

Fortunately, Link was lucky, he safely left the inner part of the West District and reached the Ring City Boulevard.

Confirming that no one was tailing him, Link went into the First Bus Station and got on an unmanned bus returning to school.

Not until then did he completely relax.

Looking back, there were many reasons for his sudden murderous intent today.

A large part of it was the resentment towards what Harold Andrews had done.

A small part of it was the hatred for violent public opinion.

In addition, he vented his frustration from his encounter with Sophie Lucia onto Harold Andrews.

Perhaps it was because Link had just participated in a killing, his whole aura seemed very cold.

Those who got on the unmanned bus one after another, ready to return to school, whether they were local wizard apprentices or newbies from Storm Sea, not one of them was willing, or dared, to sit next to Link.

Spider Tail Alley.

Not long after Link left, a few street thugs returned to the scene.

“That guy was really ruthless.”

Seeing Harold Andrews’ grim, contorted face in death, the head of the thugs couldn’t help but shiver, exclaiming in shock.

“Thank God this guy didn’t dirty his hands and didn’t want to kill us.”

A thug with a head of yellow hair and a nose ring continued, his tone full of relief.

“Ah, when can we be as bold as him!”

Another thug, whose arms were full of tattoos, looked wistful.

“Stop daydreaming!”

With a smack, the gang leader slapped the flowery-armed gang member’s head, harshly saying, “Quickly pry off the rune objects, magic stones and whatnot, then notify the Security Bureau to collect the body, we might earn a bit.”

“Okay.”

The gang members didn’t have the usual enthusiasm for rummaging through corpses.

They were listless, dispirited.

Having witnessed how a real vicious peer (Link was taller) acted ruthlessly, the gang members thought of their own petty acts of thieving and didn’t feel motivated at all.

The gang leader had no choice but to do it himself, unfreezing the body, quickly searching it, and freezing Harold Andrews’s corpse again.

Leading his subordinates, carrying away a few rune objects and several magic stones, the gang leader quickly left Spider Tail Alley.

Before leaving, the gang leader purposely triggered the emergency help function on Harold Andrews’s personal smart device.

After a short while, two intelligent law enforcement puppets arrived.

One on guard, the other investigating, they were clearly assigned.

Having identified the victim and surveyed the scene of the fight, the intelligent law enforcement puppets automatically compiled an incident report, sent it to the Ravensmouth City Security Bureau, and also forwarded it to the City Hall, Main Tower, and the Ravensmouth College Law Enforcement Department.

The Security Bureau’s transportation vehicle was the first to arrive at the scene.

A young and) spirited female wizard hopped off the hovercar, glanced once at the body lying on the ground, and didn’t react further.

For her, a Storm Sea New Blood dying in the chaotic West District wasn’t enough to cause any ripple in her heart.

The Law Enforcement Department of the college’s vehicle arrived not long after.

An old man with white hair lazily got off the hovercar, leisurely walked around the body, then snapped his fingers.

The hovercar immediately deployed two intelligent tracked puppets, which used their mechanical arms to quickly place the body in a body bag and load it into the hovercar’s trunk.

“Thanks for making the trip here, Deah.”

The old man nodded slightly at the young female wizard, made a casual remark, didn’t even wait for her response, got on the hovercar, and left.

“See you, Cody.”

The young female wizard, Deah, didn’t find it strange, and waved goodbye.

The old man was not actually old, but was a contemporary of the young female wizard, Deah. However, he aged due to failing the Sage advancement and the drain of his life force.

After returning to the college to retire, Cody, the wizard, took on multiple roles. Unlike Deah, who had a more relaxed job at the Security Bureau, he was extremely busy.

Of course, he wouldn’t want to waste time.

Deah also didn’t want to stay a moment longer, she got onto her hovercar and left the scene.

Back at the college, Law Enforcement Department.

Only after Cody delivered Harold Andrews’s body to the recycling department, did he finally have spare time to seriously read the incident report drafted by the intelligent law enforcement puppet.

He also observed the deceased’s performance and interpersonal relationships at school through the Main Tower Spirit.

“Link Grande”, a somewhat familiar name caught his eye.

Comparing key words like “smearing public opinion”, “secondary misty rain technique”, “thorn entanglement”, “spell-breaking crossbow” mentioned in both files, Cody got a preliminary analysis and guess about the incident.

“The little guy is ruthless.”

Recalling the mature-looking first-year New Blood, Cody couldn’t help but exclaim.

Why?

Because Link Grande never tried to hide from the college the fact that he killed Harold Andrews.

Without any fear or hesitation.

Nothing he did violated any college rules, including the prompt handling of the body.

He ensured maximum resource recovery for the college.

So, what was there to fear?

“Too arrogant!”

Cody slapped the desk, “He must be summoned!”
