A terrified expression finally appeared on Gagarin's face. The masked man's guess was right. It was not a coincidence that he chose this place as his hiding place. The old magician knew how dangerous what he was doing now was, so he had prepared for the worst. Once the situation got out of his control, Gagarin would not hesitate to ask for help from the guards half a street away.
Gagarin had a good plan. Although the Guard did not like him because of his greed, what the old magician was doing now strictly did not violate Gudilesi's laws. Repairing a magic device for 20 dragon crystals was obvious to everyone. However, since both parties had agreed to this deal, there was no loophole in Gagarin's actions on the legal level. On the contrary, the intention of the group of people in front of him to silence him was obvious. Therefore, once the Guard got involved, they would only arrest the group of people and could do nothing to the old magician.
But now, the person in front of him told Gagarin that his last protective talisman was useless. This time, the old magician was really panicking. The speed at which the people outside broke the array was much faster than he had imagined. Moreover, they were simply unscrupulous and did not have the slightest intention of concealing the huge movements caused by the forceful breaking of the array. This seemed to confirm the masked man's words from before in a way.
The old magician found that he could no longer use the thing in his pocket. With such a big movement, as long as the Guard was not blind, they would definitely be able to see it. Seeing that the magic array he had set up was on the verge of collapse, Gagarin finally began to feel afraid. However, he had already used up all his tricks and was at his wit's end. He could only look at the masked man in front of him with pleading eyes. However, the old magician was still a little reluctant to let go of the dragon crystals that he had just obtained, so he did not speak for a long time.
At such a critical moment, the masked man was still in the mood to tease him. "Yo, your first magic circle is about to be breached, and the rest of the magic circles probably won't last more than two minutes. However, there is a small hidden magic circle in this house, right? It should be able to buy us another half a minute. Don't you want to take this opportunity to leave your last words or something?"
Gagarin looked like he was struggling. The old magician's heart was filled with unwillingness. He had spent so much effort, made so much preparation, and risked his life to earn this money. But in the blink of an eye, he had to give half of it to the masked man. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad. However, Gagarin also understood that no matter how much money he earned, he needed to be alive to spend it. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, if you help me break through, I will give you half of the money."
However, the masked man shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse."
The old magician was startled, "Wh … Why?"
"Ten dragon crystals was the price before we were surrounded, but now …" The masked man said while rubbing his chin.
Gagarin was dumbfounded. This scene gave him a sense of déjà vu. However, in the past, it was always him who took advantage of others' misfortune. The old magician never thought that one day, the roles would be reversed and he would become the one being blackmailed.
While he was in a trance, the third magic circle outside the door had been breached, but there was still no movement from the guard station. The old magician had really given up this time. Gagarin already knew that no one would come to save him tonight. If he couldn't escape from here, then this day next year would be the anniversary of his death. However, Gagarin still found it hard to accept. He had been busy for so long, hiding in fear everywhere, but in the end, he didn't reap even a single gold coin. All of the fruits of his labor had been stolen. This was the first time in his life that the old magician felt so wronged.
However, the masked man in front of him didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he sat leisurely in his seat and didn't rush Gagarin.
However, the expression of the masked man made Gagarin believe that the masked man had the ability to help him break out of the encirclement. At this moment, the old magician's mood was very complicated. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to think about it. The last magic circle outside the small building was also destroyed. This also announced that the uninvited guests had officially set foot on Gagarin's territory.
Now, the only thing that stood between the two sides was the hidden magic circle. In the face of the threat of death, the old magician finally gave up. Between money and his own life, he chose the latter. Hurriedly throwing the metal cylinder in his hand to the masked man, he shouted, "Take me away, quickly! Take me away, as long as you can take me away, I'll agree to anything you ask of me!!! "
"If you had made this choice earlier, then everything would have been fine." The masked man stood up from his chair. Under the expectant gaze of the old magician, the masked man walked in front of the latter and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, can I trouble you to do me a favor? Please turn around, just for a moment."
"Eh?!" Gagarin was somewhat baffled, but now that he had placed all his hopes on the masked man, even if he didn't understand what the masked man meant, he still obediently did as he was told.
In the next moment, the old magician felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
Rob took off the mask on his head and shook his right hand. Walking back to the table, he poured himself a glass of juice. Taking advantage of the last bit of time, he replenished his body with vitamins and water. After sending Lolo back to her dorm, he immediately rushed over from the school. Future Supreme Magus Your Honor still had a debt to settle with the Matthews family.
That night at the restaurant, although Rob recognized Gagarin and the magic compass, he didn't plan to tangle with them anymore. He didn't expect that the Matthews family would target him first. Not long after he left the restaurant, they sent assassins to kill him. Since they had already done this much, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor naturally couldn't do nothing.
Rob planned to send a big gift to Viscount Megson and wipe out the Matthews family in Gudilesi City.
However, the quasi-magus didn't know how many people from the Matthews family came this time. Because of Lolo's matter, he didn't have time to search for them in the city. Anyway, after Gagarin fixed the magic compass, they would definitely come looking for him. So, Rob simply took advantage of this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
After getting rid of the assassins that night, the quasi-magus went back to the restaurant again and did something to the old magus. That was why he was able to find Gagarin before anyone else.
However, Rob didn't have any friendship with the old magus. He saved Gagarin purely because he admired the latter's skill in repairing magic compass. He felt that it was a pity that Gagarin was killed just like that. Although the old magus usually had a bad table manners, he didn't deserve to die. So, the quasi-magus still saved him before he killed Gagarin.
However, Rob was also determined to teach this guy a lesson. This time, he robbed him in the way that the latter was best at. He also hoped that Gagarin would restrain his greed a little in the future. Otherwise, even if he was lucky enough to escape this time, he would fall again sooner or later.
Rob drank the last mouthful of juice and held the staff in his hand again. In order to kill the old magus, the Matthews family didn't hesitate to evacuate the garrison. However, they weren't the only ones waiting to kill tonight. After returning to the sixth grade after half a year, No. 2 had also completed its upgrade. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor also wanted to take this opportunity to test how much his strength had recovered.
