Ring, ring, ring…

Ring, ring, ring…

In an empty room, the phone on the table had been ringing for more than ten times before the caller finally hung up.

On the other side, in the office.

“No, no one’s picking up the phone at that address.”

A man in pajamas put the phone in his hand down. He had a serious expression when he looked at the two police officers beside him.

His cell phone and landline could not be reached.

This seemed to confirm that what happened in the YouTube video was true.

The fat driver had been working in their company for ten years. Although he had a lot of bad habits, it was not to the extent that he deserved to die.

He did not expect to encounter such a thing.

One of the policemen beside him had a serious expression on his face as well.

At that moment, the video on YouTube had already garnered over 10,000,000 views.

This level of dissemination had already caused widespread panic around the world.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at his colleague who was on a call with a YouTube staff.

“What? You can’t delete it? Why not?!”

“…”

“What kind of joke is this? Special permission? I’ve never f*cking heard of it!”

“…”

“I don’t care about that. I’m telling you, you need to find a way to delete this video. Otherwise, you’ll be facing a lawsuit!”

This last sentence was yelled out with a loud voice.

The colleague stared at him as he hung up the phone.

“What kind of joke is this? The person from YouTube actually said that the video has some special permission and it can’t be deleted!”

Special permission?

The policeman who was communicating with the person-in-charge of the taxi company was slightly stunned.

Then, his cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. His expression changed. He picked up the call.

“Chief, we’re currently at the taxi company…”

Before he could finish speaking, the chief’s voice rang from the other end of the call.

“Alright, you guys can come back. You don’t have to worry about this case anymore.”

“What?” The police officer was slightly taken aback.

He no longer had to worry about this vile case?

Could it be that there was a huge monster behind the scenes that was obstructing them?

“The higher-ups have sent people over to investigate this case. You guys can come back.”

“The higher-ups have sent people over? What exactly is going on?”

Normally, the local department would handle the local cases first.

It had only been two hours since the incident, but the higher-ups had already sent someone over. That was obviously not normal.

“Alright, don’t ask too much about this. It won’t be good for you to know too much.”

After saying that, the chief hung up the phone.

At that moment, the chief was looking at his phone with a serious expression, deep in thought.

As the chief, it was natural that he would know things that ordinary people did not.

Things about the mystical side.

In just a few days, the Mage Association had already been alarmed twice.

This was obviously not normal.

The chief could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Although he knew some things, he was just an ordinary person in the end.

He was completely unable to interfere in matters pertaining to the mystical side.

It made him feel as if he had no control over his own body, and even his own life.

In the end, the chief could only lie in his chair, dejected as he lit up a cigarette.

“I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.”

…

Durham, Mage Association.

There were many people gathered in Casey’s office.

Lucius was slamming his fist on the table angrily at Casey who was still in his pajamas.

“My brother’s dead and it’s all your fault!
