Chapter 1098: Taken Care Of
The wizard union was quick. 2 law-defying wizards arrived before Wizard Joshua’s disciple even finished leveling up. One of them was Wizard Clemens, and the other was the head of the police department, Wizard Joseph.
Everyone involved in this incident was not a normal professional that everyone could take care of.
Therefore, 2 heads of the wizard union had come to the Golden Castle.
“Master Bennett, we are sorry. It is our fault!” Wizard Clemens bowed as soon as he appeared.
Wizard Joseph also looked quite embarrassed since he had also brought his disciple here for a meal and successfully leveled up.
He owed one to Master Bennett, but someone in the union was dumb enough to pick a fight in the golden castle.
He turned to WIzard Durmond on Frankenstein’s hand, and his eyes twitched. Wizard Durmond looked miserable with his arms bent in a strange position.
Although he didn’t have any wounds on him, it seems like his internals had taken a bad hit looking at the blood dripping out of his mouth.
“Wizard Clemens, Wizard Joseph, I opened my castle to let everyone see the legendary light and have a meal at my dining hall, but WIzard Durmond wanted to use a spell and destroy my castle!” Abel added a hint of anger to his tone.
“Master Bennett, can you put down WIzard Durmond first? We’ll let WIzard Joseph take a look and discuss it later!” Wizard Clemens couldn’t help but ask, seeing how bad wizard Durmond was looking.
At the end of the day, Wizard Durmond was a part of the Wizard Union as well. Seeing him being held up by Frankenstein was not only an embarrassment to himself but to the union as well.
If another person had done something like this to a wizard union member, Wizard Joseph would have made a move already.
“Wizard Clemens, I believe the Wizard Union can take care of this!” Abel turned and nodded to Frankenstein.
Frankenstein let go of his hand and stepped back to Abel.
Wizard Joseph then took out some light healing potion and poured it into Wizard Durmond. Although the injuries looked bad, one bottle of light healing potion should do the trick.
Wizard Durmond looked at Abel furiously after he regained himself.
Wizard Clemen’s eyes twitched. He had not expected Wizard Joseph to use Master Bennett’s potion in front of Master Bennett to heal WIzard Durmond.
He was very not happy with Wizard Durmond. At the end of the day, it was his fault for using a spell in master Bennett’s place.
However, he was the head of the investigation department. These things were still his business.
Wizard Joseph was in a rough spot as well. He was good friends with Wizard Durmond, but he also knew how serious this was.
“Master Bennett, we will be responsible for Wizard Durmond’s behaviour. We will pay 10 years of rewards for compensation!” Wizard Joseph bowed.
Abel’s face sank. Would 10 years of rewards even do anything to a rank 24 wizard?
He thought Wizard Durmond might get locked up or forced to do some mission for this, but instead, he didn’t even need to say sorry.
“Whatever Wizard Joseph!” Abel lowered his voice and turned to the others in the dining hall. “From now on, the golden castle will no longer be open to the public for safety reasons!”
Those words immediately made Wizard Joseph’s heart drop. The leveling-up incidents had already stunned the continent. Large numbers of disciples were still waiting to have their meals.
If Master Bennett closed the golden castle because of Wizard Dumond, many powerful figures would turn on Wizard Durmond.
Even the wizard union themselves had many wizards waiting in line for their meals.
If he did not satisfy Master Bennett, his status in the continent would be shaken.
“Master Bennett, if you are not happy about how we deal with Wizard Durmond, we can negotiate that!” Wizard Joseph immediately added.
“Wizard Joseph, don’t get me wrong. I don’t care how you deal with Wizard Durmond!” Abel lowered his voice and turned to his steward. “I am going back in to retreat. From now on, I want the golden castle closed.
Wizard Joseph felt his face twitch. Master Bennett really was giving him no face.
He really didn’t want to offend Master Bennett. He thought Master Bennett had already let his fury from giving Wizard Durmond a good beating so that some compensation would be enough.
However, he didn’t know that Abel’s servants and steward Myer would be dead if his magic circles were slower.
“Master Bennett, how about this, we’ll force Wizard Durmond to take out 50,000 intermediate mana gems!” Wizard Joseph bit his cheeks and quickly bowed.
“Wizard Joseph, there’s no need to do this. I’ll see what he can do to me!” Wizard Durmond suddenly interrupted with a cold voice.
He embarrassed himself too much, and Abel wouldn’t even give the 2 heads of the Wizard Union any face.
50,000 mana gems were not a lot to him, but it would still take a hit to his base.
By that point, even Wizard Joseph wanted to put an end to Wizard Durmond. If Master Bennett were that easy to mess with, he would have done so already.
“Wizard Clemens, I don’t have time to greet you today. I need to go into retreat!” Abel bowed and turned to his steward, “Send off the guests!”
Afterward, he was teleported away as silence fell on the hall.
After Wizard Joshua’s disciple finished leveling up, they left this place that didn’t belong to them, and the other wizards followed.
Wizard Durmond was shocked. There was still something he wanted to say to Abel, but Abel flashed away without even batting an eye.
However, he soon noticed Wizard Clemens and Wizard Joseph’s glum and angry face. Even his disciple was not looking good.
“Sir Wizards, the golden castle is now closed. Please vacate the castle!” Steward Myer bowed.
Wizard Clemens turned and left immediately. He regretted coming, but considering the attitude of Master Bennett, he shouldn’t be the one to blame.
“Let’s go!” Wizard Joseph, on the other hand, gazed at Wizard Durmond furiously.
The first thing he would do after they return to the Wizard Union was hold down WIzard Durmond’s disciple and force him to explain every detail of what happened.
When he realized Wizard Durmond unleashed his energy in the dining hall when the stewards and servants were around, he immediately knew why Master Bennett was so angry. If it weren’t because of the magic circles, they would have been killed.
It was a huge insult even though he failed.
A steward was extremely important to a prestigious figure. They lived with their masters, so making a move on them was basically like making a move on the master.
Master Bennett had already given the Wizard Union a lot of face for not killing WIzard Durmond on the spot.
“Call Master Bennett!” Wizard Joseph ordered.
A member of the police department quickly ignited a communication circle and turned to WIzard Joseph.
“Mr Joseph, the call was rejected!”
“What?” Wizard Joseph was one of the seven heads of the Wizard Union. He should have permission to call Master Bennett any time.
He didn’t know whether it Master Bennett directly rejecting him or just taking his name off the list. Either way, it signified a break in their friendship.
Wizard Durmond returned to his house with a grim face. Since he had been in retreat for a long time, he still wanted to catch up with some old friends.
Although he was badly injured, he was healing quite well. He just had to proceed with a meeting at night.
Still, he felt like what happened in the day did not come to an end.
He sacrificed a lot. He even gave Wizard Joseph the 50,000 gems Master Bennett did not ask for.
It was a lesson learned, but regret still began to build in his heart. If he knew Master Bennett was this powerful earlier, he would not have done what he did.
After all, his mood was just a little unstable after coming out of a long retreat.
If he were thinking normally, he wouldn’t even use spells in the home of a normal master potion maker.
There was still some time until the meeting, but his servants and steward were already hard at work.
“Master, Wizard Mullet said he is busy tonight and he can no longer attend!” Wizard Durmond’s steward stepped up and bowed as he was contemplating.
Wizard Durmond felt his heart drop. Wizard Mullet was one of the first wizards. He sent out an invitation after he came out of retreat, and he had agreed to come.
Maybe he was thinking too much. It was not uncommon for a law-defying wizard to have a sudden mission.
However, the 8 other wizards he invited also sent him a message saying they had no time to attend.
By that point, there could only be one explanation. Master Bennett had made a move.
He had overestimated himself. Abel actually didn’t do anything. He had been thinking about closing his castle for a long time anyway.
At first, Abel didn’t want to offend his friends by opening up his castle and dining hall. The benefits he got were almost nothing. He could equal it out by selling a few more potions.
What Wizard Durmond did had given him a perfect excuse, and all the blame was pushed onto Wizard Durmond.
As Wizard Durmond sat in his empty hall, he became more and more mentally unbalanced.
