Chapter 65 Preparation?

After collecting intel, Vice Captain Alan thought it's not wise to kill them. As they were having tasks to do later. If they were found missing suddenly, it will alert high level rogues.

He doesn't want to see such a situation. So with an amusing smile, he slightly tapered their memory with spell. Then he immediately returned back to the old Minzoe Clinic.

Soon after he left, the thugs woke up one by one with dizziness. Soon the modified memory comes to their mind. Where they were chased and reprimanded by the old Mage.

Everyone believed their memory was real. Since Humans were powerless against Mages, it's impossible to notice anything. Slightly rubbing his temple, the fatty boss grunted, "The old mage left us with humiliation."

His words heard by a scar -faced thug he uttered, "Luckily, the old fellow immediately went back to our hotel. He must have received a summon."

Everyone, like a scared cat, chill went down their spine as they recall beaten up the old mage. At this time the fatty boss said, "It's good that we are lackeys of our Master. Otherwise the old fellow would have used his spell on us."

When he said that, everyone looked at each other, this time they were saved. Right now, they don't want to go back to the hotel. They plan to spend some more time outside before going back.

Five minutes later,

Vice Captain Alan enters the Minzoe Clinic. He had already contacted the Captain, So he knew they were discussing inside. Without waiting for anyone, He walked forward and found the meeting room.

"Creak" the door opens.

"Alan, Come and sit here!" Captain Tyler motioned to sit beside him.

Everyone's expression turned serious seeing Alan. They knew he must have collected something. Otherwise he wouldn't have come soon. Old Man Minzoe knitted his eyebrows; he knew the time for small talks came to halt and Now it's going to be serious.

Vice Captain Alan found all of their gazes on him. So he looks at Captain in turn for his permission. Since everyone trusted people around here, Captain Tyler didn't mind the place. So he motions him to report without any worry.

Vice Captain Alan couged and said, "There is going to be a big movement in two days. As per the information, A new shipment will arrive at the BlueWing Hotel and people were tasked to unload the containers and move to other places." He only briefed the core of the information he neglected the source where he got from.

"Shipment uh?" Captain Tyler muttered. What kind of things they are going to unload and transport to other places. He furrowed his eyebrows, obviously he knows there is nothing going to be good in the container.

While everyone got their own thoughts, Pam was too pessimistic. Her mind is thinking about Crazy ideas. Human Trafficking? Or Forbidden Potions? These two were most hated taboos wide spread among human and Mage population. So she thought about them immediately.

At this time Captain Tyler suddenly turned towards the person sitting in the main seat. He asked, "Old man Minzoe, Do you have any idea?"

Hearing the Captain's words, everyone gazed at the knowledgeable old man here.

"Ahem, What do you think of me? Am I that knowledgeable " He smiled wryly and added, "This news is also new to me. Last time, There is no big movement out there" "Strange"

"So it's going to be the first shipment" Lottie held up her chin in confusion.

Seeing there is no clue yet, Captain Tyler shook his head and said, "Don't worry, These illegal organizations were just small factions operating our country. Compared to big ones, they are little shrimps. And do you think those big ones were really unnamed? As far as I knew, a big rogue faction would have at least level 4 Mage as their guard. "

Pam levine sucked cold breath, she soon broke out from her fantasy. She really imagined about human trafficking and banned potion trafficking. But from her Captain she understands the reality. Luckily, these organisations have not reached their level.

Captain Tyler observed the reactions of everyone. Though he had completed several missions with his team. None of them come across any mid or big size factions. They relatively dealt with the small factions.

He sighed and said, "I guess it might be looted items. There have been multiple reported robberies lately. But none of us were able to find the lair. I think we might be able to hit the jackpot this time."

His words kindled hope for everyone. If it's really looted items as Captain said then their reward is going to be high. Lottie's eyes shone bright she hurriedly asked, "Captain, We should request more people. Since there is going to be movement, there might be Mid level Mages."

Vice Captain Alan nodded hearing her words, and commented, "Lottie is right, Captain. We should request for more help. There is already an level 2 Mage guarding the hotel"

"Hmmm" Captain Tyler nodded in affirmation. He too thought about having some back up plan this time. Who knew from simple raide they might end up with big fish.

Finally at this time Jimmy opened his mouth, "Level 2 Mage interesting? " He is an introverted person. Unless something piques his interest he won't open his mouth.

Captain Tyler found it interesting. He asked Alan to talk about it. Vice Captain Alan begins to explain his encounter with an old mage and five thugs.

(From MC Perspective)

The Following Day, Early Morning.

"Beep" "Beep" "Beep"

Sound of the alarm woke me up from sleep. After shutting it off, I went towards the bath.

Sometimes later,

After getting ready, I sat cross legged and began to meditate. A small stream of mana enters my body and begins to circulate according to the Gravity Ark method. Eventually these mana becomes Gravity Energy and finally gets settled in Mana Core.

But this amount of energy is no way near to Mana Chamber. This is one of the difficulties of being poor. Shaking my head, I continued the process.

Time went on,

After two hours, I completed my morning meditation.

"Vincent?" A loud voice called out my name.

Hearing that I knew mum is calling for breakfast.

I went downstairs the next moment without making her call again.

"Brother, What is wrong with you? Why are you dull these days?" I asked while sitting in my chair.

Without waiting for his reply, I placed some toasted bread on my plate to eat.

Hearing his brother's concern, Brian looks at Vincent in a strange gaze. He commented, "I should be the one asking you this. Where did you go yesterday?"

After saying that Brian glanced at his mom, Mom Lila nodded and gestured to him to inquire. Obviously no one inquired about Vincent's whereabouts yesterday.

Brian thought today his brother was going to reprimand heavily.

Sigh, I knew mum must have told him to inquire with me. But so what, I always had prepared answers. "Ahem, I went to Claudia Gym to practise." I told them without blinking an eye. They knew apart from Claudia Gym, I won't go anywhere. So, it becomes convenient for me to lie.

Brian almost spilled his mouthful of water.

"Cough " "Cough"

Brian shocked and asked, "Where did you get the money for Claudia Gym?" He almost forgot about serious interrogation. Now his mind sets on Claudia Gym. "How come my rookie brother gets to enjoy practice in Claudia Gym, not me?" Brian said to himself.

Mom Lila Carey was surprised but she found something wrong in Vicent's statement. She didn't remember giving any money to her son recently. Even his father Brad wouldn't have given that much amount to him.

As far as she knows training in a mana chamber the whole day would cost heavily, Her expression changes a little she decides to ask Vincent herself.

"Vincent, Did you practise the whole day?" Mom Lila Carey said in somewhat anger.

My heart skips a beat hearing that, Sure she caught on. I thought both will take some time to realise.

Shaking my head, I put a silver spoon on my plate and said, " Ahem, Mom. I went with my friend. Before going to Claudia Gym we roamed around a few places."

Only at this time Brian came to realize he is very slow on this matter compared to his mother. He is ashamed and begins to munch on food silently.

Mom Lila raised her eyebrows, Now Vincent's answer is reasonable to her. But still it's hard for her to believe that her son is now becoming such an outgoing person.

After realizing this her expression eased down, she smiled and asked, "What is your good friend's name?"

This conversation piqued the interest of Brian, he stopped munching food for a moment and looked at Vincent.

Hearing my question, I answered it without concern. "He is in the same class as me, his name is Lucas Brad."

Brian became interested and asked, "Lucas, It's a good name. What is his magic power and talent?"

Mom Lila Carey too perkep up ears to listen.

"These two!" I was taken back to recalling Lucas's Magic.
