The masked traveler heads towards the remote mountain range. Meanwhile, the powerful Raymond family is in chaos after Young Master Raymond's disappearance. His father, Angus Raymond, interrogates the butler, who confesses that an imposter used space magic to abduct the young master. Despite the elders' uncertainty about tracking the culprit, Angus resolves to find his son, holding a special necklace containing a life-preserving liquid tied to his son's fate.

Raymond Family

Angus observed the profound silence enveloping the room, understanding their apprehension toward proposing a solution. Any failed endeavor might provoke his wrath.

A potential remedy formed in his mind: enlisting the aid of formidable wizards specializing in tracking. Their assistance could undoubtedly pinpoint his son's location.

However, embracing this plan necessitated publicizing his son's abduction, an act that would inevitably plunge the entire city into pandemonium.

Angus engaged in deep contemplation before finalizing his decision.

He addressed the gathered individuals, declaring, "Everyone, I have decided to publicize the news."

A collective gasp echoed through the hall.

The primary elders reacted with shock, yet the gravity of the situation was apparent. As senior members, they had offered no viable solutions, a fact that caused their faces to flush with shame.

Main Elder Kelly remained quiet, unaware of the enemy's identity. They operated in shadow, while her own faction remained in the dark and utterly clueless.

"I am aware this could incite widespread alert throughout the city. However, our time is dwindling, and the enemy's motives remain unknown."

"Therefore, I shall personally consult with the Head of State." With those words, Angus rose. He then instructed everyone present to disperse.

He desired no company for this meeting. His intention was to confront the Head of State alone, wary of any potential informants within his own family.

He aimed to keep his subsequent actions concealed from the enemy, then departed the estate, en route to meet with government officials and the Head of State.

Swoosh!

In a flash, he ascended towards the colossal, levitating structure hovering above the city. Entry was strictly prohibited to all save the Heads of the Wizard Families.

Their elevated standing was attributed to their participation in border conflicts, granting them a status equivalent to that of high-ranking government officials.

...

Government office.

The Head of State, an Elder-Level Powerhouse named Douglas, was currently within his office.

Suddenly, he detected an approaching presence, a familiar energy signature. He recognized it as belonging to Angus.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He surmised that Angus, a man of considerable pride, would not seek an audience without a pressing reason.

Creak!

Agnus entered the chamber without preamble, his gaze falling upon the elder Douglas seated behind his desk.

"My son has been abducted," Angus declared.

The elder was taken aback by the statement, requiring a moment to process the revelation.

"Are you certain?"

"Who would dare commit such an act?" Douglas inquired, initially suspecting a jest.

However, the ensuing silence and the barely concealed fury in Angus's eyes confirmed the grim reality.

Douglas's demeanor shifted to one of grave seriousness.

He instructed, "Narrate the events from the beginning."

Angus took a seat and commenced his account.

Several minutes later,

Douglas found himself at a loss for words, the situation bordering on unbelievable. Never before had such a daring act occurred – the abduction of a Wizard Family heir within the heart of the capital city.

The potential leak of this information would be a devastating blow to the government's reputation, potentially making their entire nation a subject of ridicule among other countries.

The elder fell into deep thought, recognizing the paramount importance of locating Raymond. Failure to do so might compel the furious Angus to resort to drastic measures.

The identity of the perpetrators remained unknown, and the use of a spatial wizard was particularly concerning. High-level spatial mages were exceedingly rare.

Yet, the enemy had not only secured the services of such a powerful individual but had employed them to abduct the young master. Douglas collected his thoughts.

A decision was made, and he promptly summoned several key figures: government officials responsible for maintaining law, order, and investigating criminal activities.

Five wizards, clad in official government attire, materialized and entered the room. Each possessed the cultivation of a Magic Lord, none weaker than the others.

Angus's eyes brightened. This was precisely why he had sought an audience. These five were renowned for their potent magical abilities, with two particularly excelling in the art of tracking.

Their talents were so profound that they had developed their own unique mental cultivation techniques, culminating in their breakthrough to the Magic Lord realm.

"You have arrived. Your team has a high-priority assignment. Young Master Raymond of the Raymond Family has been abducted," Douglas announced.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the five Magic Lords shifted dramatically. This was far beyond a mere special case for them. Angus Raymond himself stood before them.

Consequently, they accepted the veracity of the statement.

"Do you wish to address them directly?" Douglas inquired.

Angus nodded, then proceeded to recount the details of his son's disappearance. Raymond had vanished from his chambers during the journey of the sky carrier returning to the Raymond Estate.

He relayed the butler's exact words, confirming their accuracy through verification with one of the family elders.The five Magic Lords comprehended the old man's unspoken words and received his nod of assent. No further directives were issued. The five lords, all middle-aged men, resolved to commence their investigation by examining the sky carrier. Obtaining any useful leads from it would be highly advantageous. With a plan set in motion, Agnus departed from the office, his tasks far from complete. His next objective was to enlist additional assistance, specifically from an assassin organization renowned not only for their lethal expertise but also for their exceptional tracking skills. He intended to seek their aid. A minor obstacle presented itself: their headquarters were located outside the country, necessitating a border crossing. However, for the sake of his son, Agnus was determined to undertake this journey. He recognized the need for every available resource and, simultaneously, anticipated contact from the opposing side. Should the situation stem from political motivations, negotiation would be a viable path. There would be no necessity for resorting to violence and mutual destruction. Meanwhile, prior to their departure, the five Magic Lords received specific instructions from the elder, Douglas. He emphasized the urgency of obtaining information as swiftly as possible. Following this, the lords exited the premises. After completing some preliminary arrangements, they would set out for the Raymond Family Estate.
