Upon hearing Clito’s words, the old mage’s face suddenly went pale. He was no longer bothered about the sharp blade still against his own neck as his right hand reached straight for the ring on his left index finger and pressed onto it. He wanted to activate this magic tool and escape regardless of all consequences.

From his point of view, rather than wait hopelessly to be sentenced to death, he would be better off taking a chance with luck. Even if he were to be killed right now, at least his body could be transported to a predetermined place where he could still have a chance of being resurrected.

Although the resurrection was going to be very difficult while hope was not very high, it was still better than staying here to wait for death!

But, as a mage who was not very agile, was it possible to find the chance to escape from a Legendary Master like Clito, who belonged to the swift and sharp type?

Obviously, it was impossible.

Before the mage’s right hand could touch his left, Clito had reached over and with a single swipe had removed all four magic rings on both the old mage’s hands. He was so swift that no one could see when he made his move.

Then without waiting for the old mage to say anything, Clito threw a punch directly at the back of his head with the intention of knocking this suspect unconscious.

“Ugh! It’s always troublesome when I have to capture them alive!” sighed Clito. After tying the guy up with a magic rope, he stuffed him into the Devil Pet Pocket, which was originally used to feed devil pets. Shaking his head, he said helplessly, “It is still more satisfying to bury a white blade in him and pull it out red, that would be so easy.”

Though he spoke as such, he did not really intend to drag that mage out of the pocket so that he could drive a blade into him. Instead, he looked around the house to ascertain that there was only one suspect, then he used a communication instrument to contact the police of Void City.

Almost an hour later, the old mage, who was awakened by the odor of smoke, groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

He saw the handsome youth who had caught him earlier on and another young man who was not as good-looking, but very tall and valiant. He had eyes that were exceptionally bright, as though they could penetrate the hearts of the people. The two stood by his side, one on his left and the other on his right, as they watched him.

“This was really out of my expectation. You were just out shopping with your wife and children, yet along the way, you were still able to apprehend a spy and bring him back here,” the man with the very bright eyes said. “And an advanced mage at that.”

“An advanced mage could actually turn out to be a spy, I’m very surprised too,” Clito said. “What exactly is this world coming to? I really don’t understand!”

“Can you please not pretend to be such a knowledgeable person?” the chief of intelligence, Easter, said with a sigh. “I just feel that your luck is the problem. Why are you always running into such events? Remember that group of spies that was sent to monitor His Majesty, the God of Agriculture, previously? They were also discovered by you.”

“Maybe I’m born to be at odds with the spy business,” Clito said with a smile. “If not, why am I always encountering these guys?”

The once ace spy laughed. He did not continue to elaborate on this somewhat bizarre topic. To the advanced mage who still seemed to be in a slight daze, he said, “You have two choices.”

“What are the choices?” the high mage was quick to regain his sobriety and sanity and asked as calmly as he could.

“The first choice is to try and see if you are able to kill us, then escape,” Easter said. “This choice is not that difficult. It is nothing more than unleashing your potential via an outburst. It’s just killing two Legendary Masters; that’s not that difficult, right?”

The advanced mage did not answer this question. With a sigh, he asked, “What about the other choice?”
