In the sky above Liante City, the super defense array emitted beams of light through the 36 magic tower nodes, enveloping the entire city in a light curtain. This light curtain also lit up the entire city as if it was daytime.
By that point, Abel was peacefully sitting on a chair in the yard. Bartoli had a smile on her face as she poured him another glass of juice.
At this moment, Bartoli was very happy. She came back with a belly full of grievances and told her master about the blood splashed on the shop. Although her master didn't get angry, he sent people to investigate the Food and Beverage Alliance for the rest of the day.
Although Bartoli knew Abel was a powerful class holder in the Dark World, she realized Abel was a successful Grandmaster Blacksmith in the Holy Continent. Abel was a real noble. Here, Abel was very harmless.
Tonight, she finally realized how scary Abel was. He had destroyed the entire Food and Beverage Alliance in a city with a big defensive circle.
The whole process was very fast. In just a few minutes, the attack was over. When the spirit guardian Knight captain came back, he cooked 2 dishes for Abel before returning to the monster ring.
"Bartoli, no matter who comes to me today, tell them I'm training. I won't see anyone. Go to the city hall tomorrow and complain about the Food and Beverage Alliance's actions. Also, ask the law enforcement wizards for a response!" Abel took a sip of juice and said calmly.
"Yes, Master!" Bartoli was a little confused. Everything was over. The Food and Beverage Alliance had been cleaned up. Why would she still want to complain, but she still bowed and replied.
"Also, starting tomorrow, the Forgotten Land will be closed. Put up a notice outside the restaurant. The Food and Beverage Alliance will not allow the restaurant to operate normally. We have already asked the law enforcement wizards and the city hall for a review. We are waiting for a response. During this time, for the safety of the restaurant, the staff, and the customers, the restaurant will be closed!" Abel said with a cold smile.
"Master, you'll lose a lot of credit points!" Bartoli reminded him softly.
"Points can be earned at any time. Our business in the Forgotten Land is so good, there will definitely be people coveting it. This time, not only will we hurt those who want to take the lead, but we will also let those who want to take the lead see the results!" Abel said as he put down the juice in his hand.
Abel knew very well that not many people felt the true power of the rabbit essence because the Forgotten Land was open there. As long as one wanted to eat it, they could eat it. That kind of thirst for the aroma of the rabbit essence was not really discovered by everyone.
"Did you find out who did it?" Wizard Lorenzo asked an intermediate wizard in a red cloak. He was a little angry. This was the most serious attack he had ever been in charge of the investigation department.
Other than Elite Wizard Lorenzo, Elite Wizard Nigel, Elite Wizard Allenby, and Elite Wizard Eddington were also present in the meeting room. This incident was too big. It was the biggest incident ever since the establishment of Linate City.
"Mr. Lorenzo, I've checked with the city spirit, but I didn't find any clues!" The intermediate wizard in a red cloak bowed and replied.
"How is that possible? The explosion was so powerful. The place was filled with the scent of fire elements. This was a wizard's fire element attack. How could it not be detected by the city spirit? Also, doesn't the city spirit have the ability to find out which wizard was the one who cast the spell?" Wizard Lorenzo lowered his voice.
"Mr. Lorenzo, the scent of the fire element at the scene was different from any wizard in the city. It could be an explosive!" The intermediate wizard in a red cloak quickly explained.
"You mean, someone used an explosive to blow up dozens of restaurants in just a few minutes? Did the city spirit check all the wizards who were outside during that time? "Wizard Lorenzo asked again.
The spirit of the city could record the aura of all wizards who were not protected by the defensive circle outside. The aura data would be kept for a period of time for reference when needed. As long as a wizard walked out of the defensive circle of their residence, they would be discovered and tracked by the spirit of the city. This was why Linate City could accommodate countless wizards and still be peaceful.
Wizard Nigel said with certainty, "It must have been done by an intermediate wizard. Only the 'move in a flash' can do this, but this frequent 'move in a flash' should have been recorded by the city spirit!"
The middle-aged wizard in a red cloak looked at the 4 elite wizards and said, "I've checked. When the explosion happened, there were 3 intermediate wizards outside, but none of them appeared near the explosion site. These 3 intermediate wizards can be ruled out as suspects!"
"How is that possible? Did someone use a teleportation scroll to cause the explosion?" Wizard Lorenzo was obviously not satisfied with the result of the investigation.
"Wait, are you guys familiar with this technique?" Wizard Eddington, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted Wizard Lorenzo.
"Wizard Eddington, do you know who did it?" Wizard Lorenzo quickly asked.
"Wizard Lorenzo, have you forgotten how the magic tower in the Duchy of Keyen was destroyed?" Wizard Eddington brought up a story that no wizard would ever forget.
The explosion in the Duchy of Keyen had caused the Duchy of Keyen to fall from a first-rate Duchy to a third-rate Duchy in an instant. Abel was also wanted by the Wizard Union of St. Ellis. This incident had a huge impact because a human Blacksmith Master was wanted. This had never happened before, and this Blacksmith Master had even become a Grandmaster Blacksmith.
"Wizard Sterton, are you saying that Guru Abel did it?" Wizard Lorenzo asked in disbelief. They had done their research on the Duchy of Keyen before, and they all agreed that Abel was framed.
"Then you'll have to ask your investigation department!" Wizard Sterton waved his hand and pointed at Wizard Lorenzo.
"Mark out all the restaurants that were attacked and see if there's any connection between them." Wizard Lorenzo turned his head and said to the red-cloaked intermediate wizard.
"Mr. Lorenzo, our investigation department has processed the information through the intelligence analysis spirit. The restaurants and mansions that were attacked this time were all under the Food and Beverage Alliance's name!" The red-cloaked intermediate wizard said with a bow. He had done a lot of research before he came here. With the help of the city spirit and the intelligence analysis spirit, he had a lot of information in his hands.
"Check if Abel has a grudge with the Food and Beverage Alliance?" Wizard Lorenzo asked again.
"Mr. Lorenzo, Abel's steward, intermediate wizard Ms. Bartoli's shop was drenched in blood this morning. She secretly used a 'firewall' spell to clean up the blood, and she was fined 1000 credit points by the law enforcement wizards. Afterward, Ms. Bartoli asked the law enforcement wizards to investigate the Food and Beverage Alliance's actions, which were recorded in the city spirit. You all can check it at any time!" The red-cloaked intermediate wizard said after looking at the information in his hand.
"How bold and ignorant. The Food and Beverage Alliance is a property of the Kingdom of St Pierrt, right?" Wizard Lorenzo asked.
Although the Food and Beverage Alliance was making a lot of money, it wasn't a lot. The Wizard Union couldn't take all of it in Liante City, so they had to leave some for the 3 big kingdoms. They just didn't expect the Food and Beverage Alliance to use such a shameless method to take over Abel's property.
"Looks like it's true. Maybe the Food and Beverage Alliance really pissed off Guru Abel, and Guru Abel didn't like to negotiate with people, so he either directly attacked or found someone to destroy the entire Food and Beverage Alliance!" Wizard Eddington nodded and analyzed.
"Gentlemen, do you still want to investigate under these circumstances?" Wizard Lorenzo asked as he looked at the 3 elite wizards.
Yeah, the elite wizards knew very well whether or not they should investigate further. Even if they did find out that Grandmaster Abel was the culprit, what could they do? Should they really arrest him?
