Chapter 58: Someone’s Trap

A spot of light fell on Aldo’s face through the window.

While he laughed crazily, half of his face was bright, and the other half was dark.

There were even tears in his eyes.

Roland heard maliciousness. Yet, it was not against himself but something else.

Roland simply watched him in silence.

Aldo did not stop until several minutes later. He wiped his tears gracefully and said with a delightful smile, “Sorry. You must’ve been shocked.”

Roland shook his head.

Aldo stood up. Looking down at Roland, he said, “Since you’re not scared, I’ll submit the magic model to the leaders.h.i.+p of the a.s.sociation of Mages. There will be a major disturbance. You should be prepared.”

Aldo turned around before Roland said anything. Right when Roland found it odd, Aldo turned back and said at the door rather awkwardly, “Right, I was here to tell you that Charles’s youngest daughter is having a birthday party tonight. Her brother John learned your name from somewhere and hoped that you could come. Here’s the invitation.”

An invitation was put on the desk.

Aldo smiled at Roland and descended from the eighth floor to the second floor. Summoning all the magic apprentices with the bell, he announced, “Thanks to your deputy chairman, the model of Hand of Magic is now free again, but remember not to leak it.”

After a brief daze, all the magic apprentices exclaimed, “Fantastic! Thank you, Deputy Chairman Roland.”

“Thank you, Chairman Aldo!”

Looking at the excited apprentices, Aldo copied the model of Hand of Magic with a smile and left the magic tower.

After Aldo left, the magic apprentices nailed the model graph to the board again.

They stared at the model in satisfaction. With such detailed notes, they could understand it without a mentor’s guidance.

If any of them still couldn’t understand it, they would’ve been too stupid to be a Mage.

Several humorous apprentices said to a certain girl, “Vivian, there’s nothing we can do to thank Deputy Chairman Roland. We’re all counting on you.”

Vivian’s cheeks flushed like a rose. She turned around and returned to her room.

Roland rested in his room for a while. Then he left the magic tower, hoping to talk to Betta.

But as he walked onto the square, he saw Betta coming toward him.

They met and sat down in the shade.

“How is it going on your end?” Roland asked.

Betta shook his head. “Not very good. I told them how serious the matter was, but they were reluctant to move away. The man of the family even wanted me to protect them all the time.”

Roland chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

“I don’t know how he could be so shameless as to talk like that,” said Betta angrily.
