Chapter 338 He Can’t Hide for Long!

Ivan held his breath and took a few steps closer and walked into the living room behind the front desk.

The space inside is large, with blue candles lit all around. In the center is a black and gray round table, with several figures faintly emerging in the candlelight.

Ivan glanced around and found that there were eleven people in the living room! This was much more than he had expected.

Bock, who had not seen him for a long time, was sitting on a large chair with his body bent.

He didn't look much different from a year ago. His greasy hair was neatly combed back. An unusually kind smile hung on his old face. His eyes looked directly at the wizards opposite him, withered and haggard. In his slender left hand, he was holding the round exploratory eye like an eyeball and playing with it casually.

From Ivan's perspective, he could also see the two dark black rings on Bock's ring finger and little finger, which were shining with a strange dark light.

Two wizards wearing old wizard robes stood behind Bock, and the remaining people were divided into two groups and faced Bock from a distance.

Not long after Ivan came in, he happened to hear a middle-aged wizard opposite Bock speak with an unkind expression.

"Mr. Borgin, you promised us everything before! Are you telling us now that the target is alive or dead?"

"Don't say that, Hines!" Facing the middle-aged wizard's question, Bock's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down, and then continued.

"The news I got is that Asia has died in this attack. Someone saw a little wizard escaping in a hurry with Asia's body afterwards. This shows that our plan was successful."

"How do we know whether what you said is true? And your spies saw this scene, why don't you just bring back the witch's body and her child!" Hines sneered.

Hines was very dissatisfied with Bock's statement. Without seeing the body, who knew whether Bock was lying to deceive himself.

Moreover, they sent so many people, but now none of them can come back. They all died in that magic shop. This is different from what was discussed before!

So after Hines spoke up, the rest of the people also denounced it together and asked Bock to give an explanation!

Bock, who was sitting in the main seat, had a headache. In fact, the entire army sent was wiped out, which was beyond his expectation.

Bock believed that he had dealt with Asia for so many years and had a deep understanding of her strength. In addition, the other party brought a child with a drag bottle, so there should be no chance of survival in the face of this sudden attack!

So Bock was originally very relieved, thinking that he would get good news soon. Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, except for the explosion and fire, he did not wait for anyone to come back.

The news of Asia's death was later heard by his spies from nearby residents. Even the truth or falsehood has yet to be determined.

What was even weirder was that when his people went to the magic shop again, they unexpectedly found that someone had used a restoration spell to repair the damage caused by the previous battle, and all the blood stains on the ground had disappeared.

Not far away, the mansion of Asia's friend Docter was blown up by someone unknown.

So many weird things happened in a row, which made Bock feel that something was wrong, so he invited Hines and others over to discuss what to do next.

However, facing the aggressive questioning from Hines and others, Bock also felt a little angry. He lowered his face, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, have you said enough? This time it was indeed my fault in judgment, but don't forget that some of my people died there too! And I have warned you a long time ago that in a magic shop, you have to deal with the owner there. Not a good idea”

When they heard Bock's words, the faces of several dark wizards were not good-looking, and it was difficult to refute. Three of the ten people sent over were indeed Bock's men. It was unlikely that Bock would trick his own people.

What's more important is that Hines and others heard the threat in Bock's words, and then they remembered that they were sitting in the parlor of a black magic shop. No one knew whether Bock had any arrangements here.

So even if they have more people on their side, they don't dare to force Bock too much, otherwise they may not be able to win in a real fight!

Seeing that everyone had calmed down a bit, Bock cleared his throat and talked about the subsequent arrangements.

The top priority now is to continue to send more people to find out what happened before, and to confirm whether Aisia is really dead and where her child Ivan Hals is now.

We also need to send a few people to search the empty magic shop to see if we can find any useful clues.

Bock and others who were discussing did not know that one of the targets they were looking for was quietly listening to their conversation not far away.

Ivan, who was hiding in the dark, listened for a while and found that the dark wizards in front of him did not seem to be monolithic, but were more inclined to a temporary cooperation relationship.

There will even be endless arguments over which side has contributed more, but it's a pity that they don't have the awareness to fight.

This made Ivan a little disappointed. He was still thinking about whether he could reap the benefits.

After observing for a while, Ivan quickly divided the camps of these eleven wizards based on their positions and words.

Needless to say, Borkin and his two men were of course divided into two factions. The remaining eight wizards were vaguely divided into two factions. The middle-aged wizard named Hines and several gloomy-looking dark wizards probably belonged to the same camp. Maybe it was someone who escaped the Auror attack last year.

The last three were tall and strong, with a vague look of madness in their eyes. This temperament reminded Ivan of Adrian who died in his hands. He also looked like this when he was furious before his death. .

Under Ivan's gaze, one of the leaders spoke impatiently after arguing with Bock for a while.

"Mr. Borgin, what about what you promised me? You told us before that as long as we help you get rid of your old rival, we can get the formula for the wolfsbane potion! According to you, that woman is probably He’s dead, where are the things?”

Bock grinned, rotated the exploratory eye with his left hand, and said comfortingly.

"Don't be too anxious, Wright! You should read the newspaper carefully. Ivan Hals, Asia's child, is the developer of the Wolfsbane potion. Now his mother is dead and there is no one to protect him. He is falling alone. You can’t hide in an alley for long.”
