From MC’s perspective:

“Lord, the young man has left already,” The butler stuttered.

“Left?” a gloomy glint flashes in his eyes. He was sure that the trash had entered the carriage. Then how can he disappear all of a sudden?

For a moment, he felt unreal.

Beep~

Suddenly, he receives a call from the female.

Seeing that his expression changes drastically. He attended the call and then started to speak slowly.

When the call was ended the scar-faced wizard rushed out towards the office building.

The butler who was trembling in fear decided to leave right away.

In the office building,

McCarthy is inquiring about details from the subordinates. After getting information from everyone, he saw one was missing.

“Where is the scar?” He asked.

The female assistant said that person was on the way.

Shortly after, the scar-faced wizard appeared and started to brief him. He forgot about the little episode and focused on telling the reports.

A few minutes later,

McCarthy sends everyone out. The search turned out to be a failure. No one suspicious has been found. It’s not like he is underestimating everyone.

He knows the capability of the subordinates. They all are level-6 wizards. Hardly, anyone can fool them.

Beep~

Suddenly, he receives a call. Which surprises him and the assistant. Only important people can call him directly.

Seeing that he sent the female assistant out. When he saw the name his pupil shrinks.

“Vice-director,” He stood up from his seat. Why is the superior calling him? McCarthy lost his cool for a moment.

The Vice-director is his direct superior who is a level-9 wizard. Not all organizations have level-9 existence. He and the director are the real backbone of the Police force.

McCarthy calmed down his nerves before attending the call.

“Vice-director?” He greeted me in a soft tone.

But on the other hand, a voice filled with anger sounded.

“McCarthy, you b@stard. Where are you?”

Hearing that his expression changes drastically.

“Vice-director, I’m at the border town for inspection,” Don’t know what’s going on, he replied calmly.

“Border town?”

“You moron, Kevin is dead. Go to the Crown Forest right now and tell me what’s happening there after your arrival.”

The call ended after that.

But McCarthy was petrified on the spot.

“Kevin is no more,” He said in a trembling tone. Both of them are twin stars of the police force.

No organization dares to offend them in the Meteor Country. Then he realized something.

“Crown Forest,” He muttered to himself.

He remembers the mission. Kevin was investigating the death of the Meteor Academy students.

His expression turned grave. The Meteor Academy must have hidden critical intel which could endanger level-8 wizard.

He knows the Vice-director won’t leave it just like that. He must be on his way to the Meteor Academy.

McCarthy collected his thoughts before informing the assistant. He decided to leave right away.

In the Crown Forest,

Some time ago,

“So it’s real that Meteor Academy students have died here,” Kevin commented.

He has collected information from everyone here. All of the family elders echoed the same information.

After figuring it out, the information was real. He instructed his men to watch them. Then he started inspecting the surroundings.

Looking around, he couldn’t help but wonder whether any dangerous monsters had trespassed here.

He saw the signs of the Crystalline Snake monster. But the corpse size shows that the monsters are low-level.

Any level-6 wizards can kill it. Then he leisurely walked forward to the center. It was a coincidence. But when he saw an opening under a deep pit,

His eyes showed disbelief. At first, he thought the opening had happened due to some quake.

But he saw a lot of footprints around the deep pit. Some are leading to the passage. Seeing that he felt something fishy.

Then he asked his men to go down there to inspect. A team of 5 wizards entered the opening.

The movement attracted the other forces. But he decisively blocked the area. All the family forces are curiously looking at the passage.

Everyone has realized the lord wizard has found something. But he is not willing to share.

Time flies,

The group of wizards reached the end of the tunnel. Where the light is coming from the surface. 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝘦𝘵

On the way, they saw the footprint of people walking down here. The footprint also leads to the light.

Seeing that everyone realized, the students must have found something. The next moment, a hint of greed flashes in everyone’s eyes.

They thought the students might have fallen into the trip during their search for relics.

Instead of informing the lord wizard, all of them rushed out of the gap to see.

But the next second, something else is waiting for them. The 8th-order Centipede Monster appeared in the air to swallow them.

The five wizards found that the space was blocked. It’s a pity it’s too late to regret. In a few seconds, everyone entered the belly of the monster.

After swallowing the rich nutritious food, the aura of the monster is strengthened. The fluctuations emitting from the body are causing space to shatter.

Outside,

Kevin is looking at the time. It’s been more than 3 minutes. But still, there is no sign of his subordinates. He furrowed his eyebrows.

As a level-8 wizard, his sense of danger is stronger. He is starting to feel uneasy.

But looking at the ancient ruin. He already made some conjecture in his mind. In this type of ruin, the danger is usually caused by deadly traps.

Ancient traps can cause death to level-8 wizards or above. Now he is starting to realize the death of Meteor Academy students might be the result of the trap.

Then he decides to wait for half an hour. If they still didn’t come, he made up his mind to explore himself.

30 minutes later,

Kevin moved. He instructed the remaining men to watch the family forces. They might alert others by using this opportunity.

Then he entered the passage and started moving forward. His speed was so fast as if flying in the air.
