On Liberty Island, a demon wolf with blue fur was carrying a heavy suitcase when it arrived at the square in front of the Sacred Hall of Liberty with a dull expression.

”Are you trying to tell me you are a fighting wolf, and you're not a horse or camel?” Mo Fan immediately read the Swift Star Wolf's mind through the look in his eyes.

The Swift Star Wolf nodded immediately, yet it did not alter his destiny a whit.

After placing Lingling's belongings in the room that the Sacred Hall of Liberty had prepared for her, Mo Fan and Lingling went on a tour around Liberty Island. The people of the Sacred Hall of Liberty had arranged for Mo Fan to stay on the island to guarantee his safety. The Sacred Hall of Liberty would be totally embarrassed if a representative of a national team was murdered in their territory. The Magic Association representing China would surely scold the crap out of them!

Mo Fan was not allowed to go anywhere before the Sacred Hall Mages knew where the Executioner was, to avoid unnecessary casualties. The Executioner was simply too savage, daring to commit murder on the street. He would certainly endanger the lives of ordinary people.

Lingling had come because Old Bao was worried about Mo Fan's safety. He was scared that Mo Fan could not handle the situation on his own.

Old Bao seemed to know who Philip was. He purposely advised Mo Fan not to act rashly, since not only was the Executioner incredibly powerful, he was totally unpredictable too! Otherwise, Old Bao would not have asked Lingling to come to New York right away to lend Mo Fan a hand.

Mo Fan felt rather helpless, too. It was his first time being restricted to a Magic Association because his life was in danger, and considering the strict advice Old Bao gave to him, it was obvious how troublesome his enemy was this time!

”I don't want to just sit and wait here,” Mo Fan told Lingling. He could not possibly hide at the Magic Association for the rest of his life. It was no different than being dead!

”Have you collected enough energy in the Essence Orb?” Lingling asked.

”Just a little,” Mo Fan replied honestly.

”Then you need to be more patient. At the very least, you shouldn't act impetuously before we have control of the situation. That guy is hiding in the dark, and is surely waiting for you to lower your guard. He will know if you leave for the next destination with the team. We can't let an Executioner keep tailing you like that, since it simply means your life is in danger at all times. We must take him out here in New York!” Lingling said.

Mo Fan saw how serious Lingling's expression was. He somehow felt that Lingling's temper was even worse than his.

”You should be familiar with the guy's strength after fighting him, right?” Lingling asked.

”He's strong! If my strength is rated three, he's a ten!” Mo Fan told her.

”That's a pretty big difference. By the way, didn't Little Flame Belle evolve already? Are you still no match against him even when you're possessed by Little Flame Belle?” Lingling asked.

”Not exactly. I was seriously injured right at the start, so my body couldn't withstand being possessed by Little Flame Belle. That being said, I don't think it's going to make much of a difference,” Mo Fan said.

”Why is that?”

”Domain! The guy has a very powerful Ice Domain, it's able to suppress every other Element. Because it's the Ice Element, my Fire Spells only have half their usual strength,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had clearly realized the importance of a Domain after the fight. The guy was able to nullify his powerful spells with a single wave of his hand. As the battle continued, the difference between their strength grew to an enormous gap.

”In other words, if the guy didn't have his Domain, you'd be able to take him on?” Lingling asked.

”Yeah, I could. Little Flame Belle is a lot stronger than before, meaning that my strength will improve by a lot when she possesses me. I can at least kite him around with the Elements I have. Even if I can't defeat him, I still have my final trump card,” Mo Fan said.

”Don't be ridiculous, you still haven't filled up the Essence Orb.”

”I wasn't referring to the Demon Element. I still have a third of the Time Liquid left, it's enough to transform Little Flame Belle into Flame Belle Empress. Her Domain alone could melt the guy's Ice Domain!” said Mo Fan.

Mo Fan indeed had some trump cards in his hands, which was also the reason why he was not too worried that an Executioner was trying to assassinate him.

Mo Fan had only agreed to stay here mainly because he did not want to involve innocent people in the mess. The Black Vatican was a heartless bunch. They would not hesitate to harm bystanders to achieve their goals, but Mo Fan was different. The Chinese girl was dragged into the mess when she was only doing her job. Luckily, the girl was a lot stronger mentally than ordinary people. If it was someone else, they might have given up on their way to the hospital.

”The effects of the Time Liquid will surely be a lot weaker since you've just used the Time Liquid recently. It's a rare find, are you sure you're going to waste it like that?” Lingling said.

”It's only a last resort. If there's another way to take out the guy, of course I'll keep the Time Liquid,” Mo Fan agreed.

The Time Liquid was able to transform Little Flame Belle into her Mature Phase temporarily. It was definitely Mo Fan's greatest trump card, beside his Demon Element!

Little Flame Belle was as strong as a Super Mage in her Adult Phase. Meanwhile, the Executioner still had not reached the Super Level. It felt like an overkill if he had to use the Time Liquid!

”Our biggest problem is his Ice Domain. It's too much of an advantage for him. Second, if we want to take him out, the Sacred Hall Mages can't show themselves. If the guy used to be a Sacred Hall Mage, he will easily notice where the Sacred Hall Mages are. He will run away as soon as the Sacred Hall Mages show up, and strike again when he has the chance. It's only going to make things worse!” Lingling said.

Being robbed was not scary, but having to stay on guard at all times knowing they were being targeted by some crooks was incredibly tiring. It was a great torture having to stay alert at all times.
