Chapter 123 - Edward, Who Had Narrowly Escaped Death (1/2)

When he thought of Mrs. Eisen, Edward felt the blood flow in his body speed up, and his heart was burning with passion.

Just as Edward began to fantasize, the voice on the other end of the phone rang again, interrupting his fantasy at the right time and bringing him to reality.

“I don’t know how the other three are doing, but they’re all missing anyway.”

When his superior mentioned these three people, three figures flashed through Edward’s mind.

They were the three strongest mages from the three Black Hawk Squads who fought against Flanders.

And now, none of them survived.

Although Edward did not know how Flanders could determine whether the outside world was a Domain or not.

However, Edward still remembered the situation when Flanders had thrown the three mages out.

Edward knew what that situation was. He was using the three mages from the Black Hawk Squad to test the safety of the outside world.

According to Edward’s Guess, Flanders must have some method to confirm the survival of the mages outside.

To determine if the outside was safe.

Thinking back to reality, Edward hurriedly said to the person on the other side of the phone,

“Hello, branch head, this is Edward! I… I know what killed the Black Hawk Squad.”

Edward’s weak voice came from the phone.

“What? Edward, you’re still alive? This is great!”

On the other side of the phone, Jerry, the head of the Mage Association’s Investigation Department, was stunned at first. Then, he looked at the phone and exclaimed in surprise, “wait… What did you say just now?”

Before Jerry could be happy for long, he suddenly realized that what Edward said just now was not right.

“Do you know who killed the Black Hawk Squad?”

Jerry was almost 40 today. He was a mature and experienced mage.

He had been a mage for twenty years.

Two years ago, he had successfully subdued the second strange creature. Moreover, it had been signed in the form of a master-servant contract. His strength had risen to the C rank.

Due to his own strength, his own ability, and the combination of his strange creature, he had been promoted to the head of the investigation department.

This position was also very famous in the Mage Association because it was the only position in the entire Mage Association that had already been decided on for the next head.

Therefore, in general, the promotion of the position was a good thing, but it was a little awkward to be assigned to this position.

However, Jerry was almost 40 years old and already had a family, so he decided to be open about a lot of things.

Moreover, Durham was not something that small cities like Sarcos City and Nord City could compare to.

As a large city, it was located in the headquarters of the Mage Association.

And a branch head of the headquarters, even if he only sat for a few years before retiring, or transferred to another position, it would still be a very interesting resume.

Not to mention, if he was transferred from his current position, no one would gossip about him.

To get back to the main topic, as a branch head, a position with real power, Jerry’s colleague who had a lot of power also had to bear a heavier burden.

There was a saying in the Mage Association that the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility.

So, at four o’clock in the morning this morning, Jerry was woken up by a phone call.
