Just as Hughes completed the third element baptism, a man covered in a black robe sneaked into the house of the Duke of Bauhinia.

This man did not miss a step and found the study room of Mark Oscar with great accuracy.

Bang Bang Bang!

Three knocks on the door attracted the attention of Mark Oscar from the desk to the door.

“Friend, the door is not closed. Please come in and talk.”

Oscar was not afraid at all. There was not even a hint of surprise on his face. He seemed to know that someone would come to look for him.

With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside.

The man in black didn’t act too polite. When he heard that Oscar invited him into the house, he pushed the door open and walked in.

“Your grace is in quite the mood. Why are you practicing your calligraphy in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

Pulling over a stool, the man dressed in black sat down on the chair in a bold manner. He grinned and began to tease Mark Oscar.

“I was waiting for your glorious arrival wasn’t I?”

Mark stood up gently, picked up the kettle and teacup, and slowly walked to the front of the man in black.

Opening the lid of the kettle, Mark slowly poured a cup of tea for the man in black.

“Sir, you may not know this, but my tea can be considered hard-earned. If I didn’t guess that you would come today, I definitely wouldn’t have taken out such a precious collection.”

The man in black’s pupils constricted, and his entire body tensed up, but he quickly relaxed.

He knew that Mark was only reminding him.

I know your background, and I know who sent you here. I can give you the person, but after you are done, you must return the person to me in one piece.

However, the black-robed man could not agree to Mark’s request.

He had come today with the orders of his superior. He could not make any decisions at all.

“Duke Mark, we can’t make the decision on this matter. You have to agree regardless.”

Mark’s expression changed drastically. The reason why he had tested the man in black earlier was because he wanted to decipher that person’s attitude on this from the man in black.

Now that the black-clothed man’s answer with adamance, it instantly made his heart turn cold.

The black-clothed man sighed

“Duke Mark, thank you for your kindness. I won’t drink the tea. My mission is only to bring two things and a word over.”

“I’ve already met you. I’ll take out the things and give them to you right now. After you’ve seen them, you can decide whether you want to listen to my words or not.”

After saying that, the black-clothed man took out two things from the alternate dimension.

The first thing was a square box, and the second thing was a bottle of magic potion.

With a trembling hand, Mark Oscar picked up the box and opened it gently.

Bang!

The box fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Ten black stones jumped out of the box. It was the anti-magic stone!

“This! This!”
