Returning From The Magic World

While Arthur enjoyed a quiet evening, some people in Vera City couldn't rest easy.

Not long after evidence of Erick's crimes was uncovered, Police Headquarters in Brussels sent a high-ranking police officer to Vera. He will take over the leadership of the police here and lead the investigation into Erick's case.

This made General James so dizzy that his head wanted to explode.

First he was suddenly asked by the Armstrong Family to find a thief and he didn't even know what was stolen.

The problem was that they pressured and threatened him to do more.

Now, his son suddenly has an accident. For him, it was indeed an accident, a very fatal accident.

However, as a man who has been around the black and white world, his son's fate would not be enough to make him sad.

He only had one concern, and that was himself. What if the evidence of his crime was also uncovered.

This was a problem that made him always wonder if the enemy had evidence of his crimes.

At this point, he found all his friends rejecting his phone calls.

While he was confused, two people suddenly visited his residence. They were Owen and Logan.

Hoping for hope from them, General James who was still wearing his military uniform hurriedly met them.

"Mr. Owen, Mr. Logan, welcome..." He welcomed them.

Unfortunately, despite trying to be friendly, but due to his panic, he could not speak in a pleasant tone.

Owen looked at his face and smiled coldly, thinking that even a General would be like a mouse in such a difficult situation.

Of course, it was not easy to bring down a Two-Star General, but when the evidence of a crime was too clear, even a Two-Star General would not be able to do anything about it.

Under ordinary circumstances, he could order his subordinates to fight his enemies because in the military, superior orders were absolute. Next he just needs to accuse his enemies by saying that they want to do something that harms the country. That is the reason why military people are so feared.

However, when he is already labeled as a criminal, it is impossible for his subordinates to obey except those who have indeed committed crimes with him.

"It seems to be a bad night for you, General James," Owen said with a faint smile.

He had just experienced misfortune, so seeing others experiencing the same, he could not help but feel happy. This concept did not only exist with commoners, but elites like them as well.

"You see, it is indeed a bad night," James replied with an expression like he wanted to curse the world. "Although sometimes I think about falling, but this time it was completely out of control, I don't even understand what exactly happened."

He paused, glancing at Logan then into Owen's eyes.

"You came right at this moment, is there something you want to say to me?" he asked.

"How about we sit down before we talk," Owen replied.

Remembering that they were still standing, James quickly invited them to sit down and ordered the waiters to fetch the drinks.

Once seated, Owen took out a brown cigar, placed it between his lips and lit the front.

Phew!

He exhaled the smoke and it flew towards James.

The latter was naturally annoyed because usually even this guy was polite in front of him.

"Do you know what happened before your son was arrested?" asked Owen.

"I know!" James nodded.

Of course, he had already done an in-depth investigation on this, such as where his son was, what he had done.

Even he was already suspicious of Arthur and Amanda, but he couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Arthur, he's weird, isn't he?" Owen said, making James narrow his eyes.

"I've heard about the military being suspicious of him for almost crippling their Evolver."

"You know that much." James was quite surprised because it was top secret and it was taken care of by a very powerful plus very nationalistic General.

"Do you know, we suspect he's the one who stole our stuff," Owen said, surprising James once again.

Ever since the gold went missing, Owen kept thinking about who the thief was and how it disappeared without a trace. Even the Evolver guarding the gold vanished as if he had instantly disappeared from this world.

As he continued to speculate, he finally suspected Arthur.

From then on, he was sure that it was him.

Now, he visits James with a plan, a plan that he thinks will work.

"What exactly did he steal?" James asked. It was a question he always asked, but Owen never answered.

This time, he thought Owen would answer it. He wasn't stupid, just by looking at Owen's expression, he knew that he had a plan with how to use it.

In a desperate situation like this, even she could just follow his plan if it could solve her problem.

"25 Tons of gold," Owen replied calmly, and deliberately mentioned the highest estimate of the amount of gold.

Hearing that, James' eyes opened wide.

He was a General and did a lot of business. However, even he did not have that much gold, certainly not even one percent of it.

"Are you serious? Where did you guys get so much gold?" he asked again.

The Armstrong family might be very rich, but that was only because they controlled the financial system. Gold is a different matter.

Owen just smiled in response, not answering the question.

"Now you're worried about the evidence of your crimes being uncovered, right?" Owen continued.

This time, James didn't answer, just looked at him with eyes that had become rather cold, waiting for his plan.

"If you don't want another accident to happen, I suggest taking action right now. Attack the boy, then kill him. Make sure you use great strength because that boy has already killed four Mossad Evolvers."

"What?" James immediately stood up, showing disbelief.

What made him distrustful was the information said by James.

"I know you're skeptical, but we've always suspected that the boy is a magus, someone who can use powers that humans can't without the use of certain drugs."

"This..." James took a deep breath and did not expect that his son would come into conflict with someone like that.

"Magi are powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't die," Owen continued.

"With your various military weapons, what can't you kill?" Owen began to provoke James.

"And if you succeed, not only will your problem be solved, you'll probably also get a magic method out of him."

Pa!

James patted his thigh, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll do it now!"

However, right after he said that, a soldier suddenly walked in, holding a cell phone with a panicked face.

"G-General, this is bad, we're in serious trouble," he said, which instantly made James' heart race.

Even Owen changed his expression to gloomy.

Little did they know that the mastermind who exposed Erick's crimes was Rose who lived with a group of mercenaries who had once been special forces.

They knew the workings of the military very well, so they knew that after Erick was caught, James would likely take dangerous actions. Therefore, right this very night, Rose also spread the evidence of James' crimes.

She just slowed it down a bit to mess with James' mind for a while.
