Returning From The Magic World

People opened their mouths again after hearing Amanda's words, especially William and Old Gordon, they looked at each other with strange expressions, like they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Old Gordon had told Parker that Amanda bought 100 branches of aloes from his company, so he also knew.

With his experience, it wasn't hard for him to deduce what Amanda was planning.

However, the Professors who knew nothing immediately spoke up.

"That's impossible, agarwood can only grow in tropical countries and so far it has only managed to grow well in southeast Asia."

"Right, where do you cultivate it? Africa or South America? It's absolutely impossible in Europe."

One by one, they questioned Amanda's claims.

As for Erick, he knitted his brows, as if unconvinced.

In the end, he asked, "can you show me the location of this agarwood cultivation?"

"That's a very important secret, there's no way we can show it," Amanda replied with a big smile.

As much as she disliked a world full of deceit and hypocrisy, she quite enjoyed doing it to Erick, someone who was obviously very evil due to the many dirty businesses he was involved in.

"You lied..." Suddenly, Jhonny who was standing beside Erick spoke.

He took a step forward and continued, "don't take us for fools! You could have made that shit up. Secret? Hmph, just say that you can't show it because it doesn't exist."

Upon hearing his words, some people nodded. They thought it made sense.

However, Amanda was still laughing. "Yeah, I don't need to explain things that I don't need to explain. If you have any doubts, you can investigate. We are ready to accept the punishment if it is proven that we smuggled the agarwood."

She dared to say that because Arthur made sure that anyone who tried to investigate would get into trouble.

With Hunter and the others conducting surveillance, no one could move easily.

At this moment, Robin approached Erick and Jhonny.

"Please leave gentlemen, you are disturbing the comfort of the other guests," he told them in a professional tone.

He was indeed a mercenary living lawlessly, but before that, he was a member of the special forces, so he had the skills to speak in a formal or professional style.

Erick and Jhonny and the young soldiers who followed them were not happy about being kicked out, but the former could still hide his displeasure.

While the others looked like they wanted to respond to Robin, he waved his hand, signaling them to back off.

His eyes looked at Robin, observing him for a while before turning around.

He also looked at Jade.

It was precisely because of her that he didn't want to make a scene.

The female Evolver might not have as high a rank as his father, but her status was unique plus she was under the command of a general who could be said to be powerful.

If she saw him making trouble in someone else's store by using military force, she would probably report to her superiors, and her superiors would call his father for an explanation.

The point is that a lot of bad things will happen if he makes a fuss.

And given his status, he wouldn't have to do that with his own hands.

When he got outside, he opened his cell phone's contact list.

He scrolled down until smhe came to a title, (Police Chief Vera!)

Seeing that, he finally smiled and then pressed the call button

Tot! Tot! Tot!

"Hello!" A man's voice echoed shortly after from Erick's cell phone.

"Uncle," Erick said softly.

Police Chief Vera's name was Jimmy. Actually, he wasn't really Erick's uncle, but he was quite close to his father plus it was his father who helped him reach his current position.

"Oh Erick, is there something?" asked Jimmy.

"I need you to come to Pluto Street, No. 12," Erick replied.

"There's something I want you to investigate. It's also good for yourself. If it works, we can get unlimited profits."

"Really?" Jimmy was surprised but sounded excited.

From inside the store, Arthur could see Erick who was on the phone, but he just looked at him indifferently.

His eyes then moved to the side, looking at Anna who approached him and Isabel after buying a single agarwood.

"We meet again, Isabel," she said to Isabel.

After that, she glanced at Arthur, smiled and winked without Isabel noticing.

The latter could not smile given the fact that she told Arthur her past, so she showed obvious displeasure as she looked at her.

Seeing that, Anna was confused as she hadn't really thought about it.

She also didn't know that Arthur told his aunt.

"What's wrong, Isabel, why are you looking at me like that?" Anna asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Don't pretend!" Isabel's eyes grew colder as she replied.

Anna who had spontaneously looked at Arthur suddenly remembered that and ended up smiling wryly.

She knew Isabel, so she knew that she wasn't the kind who would get angry for no reason.

"Come on, Isabel, I said it by accident," she said with a soft laugh.

She seemed to want to apologize, but because of her smile and laughter, Isabel snorted coldly in response.

Shua!

Suddenly her hand moved, grabbing Anna's waist.

The latter thought she was going to pinch her, but unexpectedly, Isabel only touched her waist for a moment before withdrawing her hand again.

This confused Anna, but soon her eyes opened wide.

"Wh-what's going on?" Her waist became lopsided as she felt an intense sting.

Pa!

In the end, she fell until her face almost hit the floor.

Luckily she was fine, just looking shocked.

People looked at her in confusion, wondering what had happened while she looked at Isabel.

"What have you done to me?" she asked.

Jade who was not far from them narrowed her eyes. At first glance, she felt something strange, but wasn't sure what it was.

She could not feel it clearly actually because Isabel did not release her power from her body. She only gathered her lightning inside her fingers so that the bodies of others who came into contact with her fingers would be like being electrocuted with low strength.

Of course, Isabel didn't answer Anna's question, she was staring in another direction because there was currently another one approaching them.

It was the mayor.

His eyes looked at Isabel and the closer he got to her, the wider his smile became. One could tell that she was very happy now, like a child who could finally see his favorite toy.

Seeing the man approach Isabel, Anna forgot about the previous incident. She stood up, smoothing her dress, before laughing softly once again.
