912 Suspicion (1/2)

”I… really don't know!” Ryan said with a long face.

He's telling the truth! Fang Yuan secretly transmitted to Heinze. As a Dream Master, he could easily tell if someone was lying from the most minute expressions or movements.

”Then we have more reason to be wary. It means that we've already paid a terrible price somewhere, just that we aren't yet aware of it!”

Heinze gestured with his eyes to Fang Yuan. ”Let's go back!”

The group took the loot and the charred corpse and left the house. A thick mist appeared.

”Get ready… We're going to mass teleport back to the branch!”

Heinze snapped his fingers.

Bang!

A pillar of light suddenly hit him from the sky. He flew backward and smashed into the apartment building, buried under a pile of bricks.

Whoosh whoosh!

In midair, shadows in black robes appeared. They looked like giant bats and kept diving toward them.

It was not long before one of the sorcerers yelled out in pain. Long, boney fingers had broken his protection spells, which simply tore apart.

”Chain Lightning!”

”Acid Spray!”

”Dragon Destruction Sword!”

They fired all sorts of spells at the monsters, but none of them had any effect.

”Let's go!”

The others were also extremely shocked by what happened. They all started to use the Teleport spell to escape.

A few loyal ones also wanted to stay to help Representative Heinze and maybe take Ryan away.

However, attacks always concentrated on these types of people. They all died a gruesome death before accomplishing anything.

”Tele-teleport!” Ryan shouted shakily with all his might.

Unfortunately, the spell that had never failed before had lost its effect. He stayed in the distance helplessly, watching his comrades all die before his eyes. In the end, the only one left was the junior deacon Snow.

”What? You want to make your move now.”

Fang Yuan shrugged and looked at the pit on the ground where Heinze fell.

”Yes, I've had enough…” Heinze's face was gloomy. He walked out from his hiding spot. ”I wanted to continue acting as this foolish character for a while, but your appearance has caused me to change my plans… Our combined strength should be enough to break through the congress' seals.”

”In fact, your original preparations were plenty…”

Fang Yuan looked at the black-robed monsters that had amassed. ”Magic nullification? Also sealing off the Teleport spell… It should be possible to surround and annihilate the entire Sorcerer Congress of Newtlud with these monsters alone, right?”

”If it's only sorcerers we're up against, then these subordinates that I've trained are enough, but unfortunately… Naturally, the Sorcerer Congress has more than just magic at its disposal… According to the agreement between various organizations, it can receive prompt reinforcements and activate some of the collected Derivatives when attacked…”

Heinze shook his head.

”No! Sir… please don't kill me!”

The sole survivor, the unlucky Ryan, was on the verge of tears at this point. He collapsed onto the ground.

”The suppression of this world on our power is too great. Such a dirty, lowly lifeform, and I had to endure it all this time…” Heinze looked at Ryan as though he were looking at a pile of trash.

Naturally, now that he knew what the glove was capable of, he did not approach recklessly. Instead, he turned toward Fang Yuan. ”This man offended you earlier. I'll leave him to you. His Derivative is yours as well. I'll take this cloak!”

”I've been wondering what loot were you planning to bring back to headquarters…” Fang Yuan shook his head. ”It looks like… you had everything planned out!”

”It was just a backup plan… If there weren't two Derivative, I wouldn't have acted!” Heinze shook his head.

”In that case…!” Fang Yuan snapped his fingers.

”Ahh!” While crying pitifully, Ryan was swallowed by a ball of flame.

Then, just as Fang Yuan was prepared for, the glove appeared on his right hand after a flash of light.

”The Third Hand?” He looked at his arm, intrigued. ”This is really… interesting!”

”This Derivative shall be my welcoming gift to you… After you help me obtain the Philosopher's Book, I will tell you how to absorb Derivatives… Although you can slowly figure it out yourself using the power of a Great Dao, my method ensures that the power of the rules can be best preserved. Also, the cost is minimal.” Heinze smiled.

”In other words…” Fang Yuan sneered. A dangerous aura filled him. ”You're threatening me?”

”Threaten? No! I just want some small insurance, that's all!” Heinze hastily waved his hand and said sincerely, ”I really hope to meet your true body in the Mental Demon Realm. Furthermore… I've already shown you my sincerity, haven't I?”

”It's really sincere.” Fang Yuan looked at his right hand and sneered. ”All right, I promise to help you obtain the Philosopher's Book!”
