nChapter 46: A Stir in the Magic Tower 5

n“Kuah… Kuk! Kuk!”

nJameson, who fainted, began to wake up.

n

n

nTouching his bruised chest, he rose from the ground, he was shocked to see thick smoke and flames rise everywhere.

n“This, what is this?”

n“Fire! The library is on fire!”

n“Please get some water!”

n

n

nThe whole library was currently on fire, and it seemed like it was impossible to save anything from it.

n“I, Ice… no, Water Shower!”

nJameson was at the forefront when it came to fighting against flame magic.

nHowever, with the hasty manifestations of magic, the desired task hadn’t happened properly nor aide him in any way.

n

n

nHowever, it was enough to save his own life, so he could somehow get out of the library.

n“Phew, how the hell did… uh!”

nAs he was breathing with relief, his complexion went dark.

nThere was something that he forgot when he decided to run away from the fire.

n‘My book! And the blueprint!’

nThose were the tools for revenge that were supposed to solve his long grudge.

n

n

nHe tried to jump back into the flames; however, the other wizards and the mercenaries around the place blocked him to prevent him from doing so.

n“No, sir. Please move back!”

n“Get lost! Inside! I have my… uh! What are you doing? Quickly blow out the fire!”

n2 hours later.

nThe mercenaries diligently carried some water, and the wizards with their magic used rain and were successful in clearing out the fire. They also managed to prevent the fire from spreading to the buildings next to it.

nHowever, more than half of the library had been burned, and the other remaining collections of books were soaking wet.

nThe library was devastated.

nThe main thing was that none of the high-quality materials and books could be rescued.

n

n

n“Firstly, I need to make a list of the lost materials, I need to ask for a copy at the headquarters. It would take some time, but…”

n“Kaaa!”

nThe manager was trying to make a calm report.

nHowever, executives cut off the report that Jameson was making.

nJameson, who couldn’t stand the screams of the executives anymore and with the grief of losing his tools for revenge, burst out to them.

n“An intruder made it into the library! What were the mercenaries, the guard and the wizards on duty doing? What were the elaborate magic circles and the security devices even for?”

nThe executives and the secretary of the branch were shocked by that.

nIf what the branch manager had said was true, then the fire was a result of arson. Not just that, the security of the branch was broken and breach.

nThe security of the Brandon branch was far from simple.

nAs one of the two largest Magic Towers in the continent, the security of the branch was so tough that even an experienced assassin or wizard couldn’t pass through it.

nHowever, an intruder managed to pass through?

nWho could that be? And how?

nEveryone was questioning themselves and were silent. Jameson was roaring like a dragon.

n

n

n“Get the culprit right now! If you people can’t even do that, then I’ll fire you all right away!”

nThe moment they heard that, all the wizards and guards scattered all over the place to catch the criminal.

nThe arson search went on for almost a month.

nBut forget about catching the culprit, they couldn’t even find out who did it.

nThe wizards and mercenaries, who somehow had to subdue the anger of their branch manager, arrested a wizard who seemed to have seen the perpetrator.

n“Not me! I don’t even know who that was!”

nIt was the accomplished wizard Peter, who cleaned the library all alone that day.

nThey accused him of being an accomplice to the culprit, and the fact that he was jealous of the Magic Tower became a huge factor that he might be an accomplice.

n“I only saw a ghost that day! Manager! Please believe my words!”

nPeter insisted on his innocence, but no one chose to believe him.

nEventually, he was arrested for arson and was sent to the Magic Tower headquarters.

nAfter that, no one had ever seen him.
