Returning From The Magic World

Hunter and the others rented several luxury apartments in downtown Vera.

Tonight, Arthur visited them alone on foot.

He had something he wanted to talk to them about, of course.

About 30 minutes from his house, he arrived at their apartment building.

It includes a very tall building, consisting of hotels and various kinds of shops. Even at night, quite a number of people were in and out of the building.

Rose waited for Arthur in the lobby of the building. She was wearing long jeans and a short tank top, barely covering her stomach. Seeing that he was alone, the woman's smile seemed to become even wider.

"Please follow me, boss!" She said in a gentle voice.

Arthur followed her into the elevator. Their apartment was quite high up, so it took a few minutes to arrive.

In the elevator, Rose kept glancing at Arthur.

The latter asked, "did you detect what's going on with Mossad at the moment?"

Hearing the question, Rose shook her head with an embarrassed expression. "I'm sorry boss, but I really can't detect them. They are being very careful now. However, your request, regarding those gold papers, I have managed to locate four of them."

"Oh..." Arthur finally showed an interested expression.

"Where have they been?" he asked.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to get to them," Rose answered before telling Arthur.

She continued, "even the closest one is in Buckingham Palace, England. The second is in the hands of the Chinese government, the third is in Edo Palace, Japan, and the fourth is in CIA Headquarters. Actually six were found apart from the two in your hand, but the other two have disappeared. That is, they have fallen into the hands of several individuals, kept moving around until they were no longer traceable. Of course, if you give me a bit more time, I'm sure we can still find them."

"Then I'll wait," Arthur replied.

He was in no hurry to get them, the important thing was that his strength increased first.

Indeed, even if he was strong, getting one of those papers from those places was really very difficult.

The elevator stopped and the door opened, revealing a long corridor at the end of which was a lounge. There were about eight doors, each of which evidently contained an apartment.

Amanda led Arthur to one of them. Inside, Hunter and the others had already gathered. The former seemed busy inspecting his blue sword.

"Boss!" They all stood up when they saw Arthur and bowed slightly to salute him.

Arthur motioned for them to sit down again while he remained standing, leading Rose to choose to stand too.

"Firstly, the reason I recruited you is because I want you to look after a few things in my business when it starts," Arthur said.

"Of course, it would be a waste of your skills if that was all you had to do. A third of you would probably be sufficient for the task.

"I want you to do more than that, the point is to help me build a large, hidden army!

"Who they are and where they come from is not important, what matters is that they can be loyal.

"The first is of course in this city. I want in a short time, the army you built can claim to be invincible and unstoppable here."

Arthur spoke quite fast, but his voice and every word he said was clear.

Hunter and the others looked at each other briefly after hearing his words.

Robin then laughed and said, "don't worry boss, this is something that suits us very well. Coupled with our current strength, it should be easy."

The man spoke quite often. While he was that type of person, he also seemed to want to impress Arthur even more because when the latter tried to recruit them, he caused quite a bit of trouble.

Arthur didn't care about that. He nodded at him before continuing, "as one of Europe's economic centers, this city has too much outside power. I want you guys to also be able to at least carry out surveillance on each of them so that any of their movements can be traced.

"Understand?"

"Rogers!" The mercenaries said simultaneously.

"Clever!" Arthur gave them a thumbs up causing their faces to twitch.

No matter what, they were all middle-aged men. Even the youngest, Rose, is in her early 30s. Saying that Arthur was their son was not an exaggeration at all. Perhaps some of them were older than Arthur's father, so this would be a bit out of place.

However, they ultimately used power to determine one's level, not age or status. Arthur was stronger than them and had even taught them how to become stronger, if they were forced to call Arthur using the word father they probably would still do it.

"By the way..." Arthur snapped his fingers. Light gathered above his palm, forming the image of a man wearing a gold necklace.

"This man's name is Henry, his family is doing black business. Tonight, I want you to collect enough evidence to put him and his whole family in jail," he said.

"Of course, I'd be more than happy if you guys could find evidence for the people behind them too. And as far as I know, those are the top brass of the military. Perhaps you need more time to investigate them, but I want you to succeed as soon as possible."

The military rank-and-file behind the Henry family is most likely Erik's father because Henry worked for Erik.

And whether it was Henry or Erik, Arthur had already started a conflict with them and there was a possibility of that conflict deepening in the future.

In the first conflict, Arthur was unable to teach them any meaningful lessons. However, in the next one, teaching them a lesson was a must. If he couldn't kill them, he would have them imprisoned.

This was something that was non-negotiable as a great magus like him possessed a decisive heart.

Hunter and the others studied Herny's face while Rose looked up information about him on her cell phone. Maybe he's not a big man who gets into intelligence organizations databases, but he at least definitely has a social media account.

Just a moment later, Rose suddenly laughed.

"Ah, this man must be a high-ranking bastard, don't worry boss, this won't be difficult," she said.

"Okau, I'll leave it to you!" replied Arthur.

After that, he looked at Hunter. "Rose must have told you about someone who wants to buy your sword. Be careful, call me immediately if he comes!" Arthur gave a warning because he wasn't sure what that person looked like yet.

Hunter nodded in response.
