The Senior Wizard led his members to meet with three elders. Meanwhile, City Lord Conrad requested assistance from Magic Lord Gaston and Duncan regarding suspicious outsiders in the city. Duncan, uninterested, left, while Gaston began searching with Conrad. The protagonist discovered that a hospital was being used for organ harvesting, owned by Magic Lord Duncan and connected to the Black Tower. Enraged by the Black Tower's past actions against him, the protagonist decided to use this discovery as an opportunity to target them, dispatching a puppet to gather evidence.

Darkmoon City

Magic Lords Boris, Silas, and Sergei were waiting for the frontline team to arrive. It didn’t take long.

The Senior Wizard brought the team members along with him. He entered the secret location and saw the three elders.

The team members, including Amaira, greeted them.

"You guys are here," Boris said.

"Now we can start the discussion. How should we take over the city?" Silas asked.

Hearing that, the Senior Wizard was taken aback. He didn’t expect the elder to ask him the question.

The members were not that surprised; they had heard about it from the Senior Wizard earlier. But Amaira was shocked.

She didn’t expect the major operation would be to take over the city. And not just an ordinary city, but Darkmoon City.

She didn’t know whether the Elders were crazy. She didn’t dare voice her opinion.

"Why are you silent?" Sergei asked this time.

"Elders, it’s going to be difficult. From the information I have gathered so far, I have found out that a Black Tower Magic Lord is running a business here," the Senior Wizard said.

"His people could be here in the city," he added further.

Hearing that, Boris and the others fell into contemplation. The last thing they wanted was to alert any of the Magic Towers.

Otherwise, their organization would be exposed before it could make a formal appearance.

...

Magic Lord Gaston and City Lord Conrad had inspected all the watchtower buildings. There was no problem with them.

Gaston searched the main gate and the places outside where the wandering wizards slept. He didn’t find any Supreme Wizard among them.

From the briefing, he understood that the intruder could be a Supreme Wizard or above. If the intruder was a Level-9 Wizard, he would have been caught by City Lord Conrad earlier.

There would have been no need for them to come. Next, he began to search the areas one by one. He didn’t leave out any busy commercial streets or run-down buildings.

He quickly spread his mental power to cover the whole area. If anyone at the rank of Supreme Wizard or above was there, they would be sensed by him.

...

Duncan Hospital

The zero puppet in red smoke form was recording the evidence with a recording stone. Currently, one of the doctors was harvesting organs for business.

The patient was a middle-aged man, but he was a mid-level Wizard. Not only that, the doctor and the assistant were openly talking about the business and admitting their crimes.

"Are we getting low pay?"

"Should we demand more resources from the Boss?"

Two assistants voiced their concerns one by one.

"Don’t forget we are working for a Black Tower Wizard. He will kill you instead of paying you," the doctor said.

Hearing that, the assistants shut their mouths.

But they didn’t know the recording stone was recording everything.

At the same time, I was exploring each floor of the multi-floor hospital. I found out using the system that none of the people here were good.

In particular, the doctors were competing with each other to harvest more organs. My instincts urged me to cast a spell on them.

But I controlled myself. I knew it was part of the wizard path, but still, I was watching such an operation for the first time.

Outside

Right then, someone else appeared before the hospital. The person was none other than Magic Lord Duncan. His expression was dark.

"Who could it be?" he muttered.

He then walked into the hospital. Before coming here, he had gone to one of the hideouts. He found out that the wizards were not there. Not even the old Supreme Wizard was there.

With a grumpy expression, he walked around the place, passing by the staff. But the staff were terrified upon seeing him.

He appeared on the ground floor, and the news started to spread like wildfire. The doctors and the assistants learned about it.

Their faces changed drastically. Everyone stopped gossiping and began to work seriously. The senses of a Magic Lord were sharp.

He could overhear talk about him. There were doctors and assistants who had died unjustly because of their loose tongues.

Meanwhile,

I was walking on the third floor. The system alerted me with a notification.

[Ding! Magic Lord detected.]

Hearing that, my heart stirred. I wondered whether the person was Magic Lord Duncan. If he was the one, then I could get my revenge.

"System, can the system space handle a battle between us?" I asked the system.

[Ding! The host can fight against the enemy inside the system space without any problem.]

When I heard the system’s response, my mouth curved into an arc. The Black Tower had dared to send Forbidden Wizard Remi to my shop.

They wouldn’t expect what was going to be breaking news tomorrow.

I turned around and went to meet the Magic Lord. As I walked past the staff, they were also discussing the same person.

I realized that he was indeed Magic Lord Duncan. Next, I increased my pace and went to the second floor.

Similarly, Magic Lord Duncan came to the second floor from the first floor. He didn’t pay attention to his surroundings. His mind was on the missing wizards.

He didn’t even notice the person heading toward him.

On the other hand, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties. The Black Tower emblem gave away the identity of the Magic Lord.

I asked the system to verify.

The system confirmed again that the person in front of me was the Magic Lord. I also checked whether there were any hidden devices or cameras here.

But there was no such thing. It appeared they didn’t want their own crimes to be recorded. Then I shifted my attention.

I saw that the middle-aged man was thinking about something else. He didn’t notice that I was looking toward him. I had already shielded my mana presence with the help of the system.

It was also helping me. Just before I walked past the middle-aged man, I grabbed his shoulder and appeared inside the system space.

Swoosh!

I landed on the ground and released him. Magic Lord Duncan didn’t know what was going on. When he felt himself falling, he used his ability to stabilize himself.
