  Mag sat behind the bar counter as he ate his melon seeds, and listened to the two grown men reminisce about their friend while drinking.

  The wine was good, and with the emotions set and the side dishes extremely good with the wine, more than half the bottle of Maotai was gone. The two started to spout nonsense in a drunken stupor, and even Andre was dissed by them.

  As a pro interrogator, how could Mag miss this opportunity? He went up and sat with them.

  “You… who are you? Why are you sitting with us?” Lucien was still a little cautious as he tilted his head to look at Mag.

  “Here, here, here. Have another glass.” Mag helped Lucien fill his glass, and put it in his hand.

  Lucien put the glass to his mouth mechanically, and chugged it down. After that, he appeared even drunker. Lucien put his arms around Mag’s shoulder, and slurred, “Wh-where was I?”


  “You said that Josh came to the Ministry of Defense, and then gathered all the courtiers in His Majesty’s name,” Mag replied.

  “Yes. Josh gathered all the courtiers in power at the Ministry of Defense, and then took out His Majesty’s plaque, and ordered them to deploy the border troops to attack the orcs and elves. What did we do? We just obeyed the order to treat the plaque the same as him that His Majesty set back then. We listened to Prince Josh’s orders, and gave out commands.” Lucien covered his face and held back his tears, but could not help but sob. “In the end, we, the loyal courtiers, are the ones punished for the crime, and the people dead are our families. What logic is this…”


  Under Mag’s guidance, Lucien, the big boss of the Ministry of Defense, started pouring out his grievances. He spilled out all the backstory, Andre’s attitude at that time, and all the first-hand news that even Chaos City might not be able to find out.

  Half an hour later, Mag went out to call Lucien’s coachman and guards in to bring the two drunk officials back.

  “A day’s operation has ended once again.” Mag watched the horse-drawn carriage leave, and flipped the wooden plaque at the door. There was quite a lot of information gained today, which allowed him to have a rough understanding of the current situation in the Roth Empire’s court.

  “Closed again? Are the taverns opened by rich people so boring?” Eiffie mumbled to herself when she saw Mag flip the wooden plaque as she sent a drunk customer out.

  She wanted to experience the dry and boring life compared to her hectic hustling every day.

  Eiffie sighed. “Sigh, what a pity he came too late.”


  “Are we setting off now?” Irina came downstairs. She had changed, and was dressed in tight black clothes that showed her perfect curves.

  “Hold on.” Mag went upstairs, and came down in all black as well. However, he was wearing a loose black robe and a large hat whose shadow could cover his face completely.

  He then pulled his hat down.

  “Hmm?” Irina looked at him, stunned.

  “Familiar?” Mag asked with a smile.

  “How did you do that?” Irina went up to touch his face. When Mag went upstairs, he actually disguised himself as Josh. It was a complete replica.

  “I got my hands on a mask previously. After wearing it, I can change my face to become anyone,” Mag explained.

  “Oh…” Irina thought for a while, and asked, “Then can you become me?”


  “Er…” Mag said. “Theoretically, it should not be a problem.”


  “Tsk, tsk. Spill it. What did you use this mask for in the past?” Irina asked him with a smile.

  “I don’t crossdress.” Mag quickly waved his hands.

  “Heh.” Irina laughed. She pulled out her magic caster’s staff, and said, “Let’s go.”


  After a golden flash, the two disappeared from the tavern.

  ***

  “At home?”


  “Mm-hmm. In the mansion. But there’s a 10th-tier knight guarding his room.”


  “Leave the knight to me. I’ll leave Blum to you. Take care of the details. We only have three minutes.”


  “Go.”


  Two shadows flashed past the sky above the general’s mansion.

  “Did you see anything pass by just now?”


  “Your eyes must be playing tricks on you, or did you have too much fun last night that you’re too weak now?”


  Two guards standing at the wall muttered to each other.

  Mag and Irina split up after entering the mansion.

  This mission was called: kill Blum!

  Of course, his death was not Mag’s goal. The key was how they were going to frame Josh.

  Mag’s target was the 10th-tier knight, and killing Blum would be left to Irina, the master of special effects and lighting. She would be the one presenting the large-scale horror film directed by Mag to Blum.

  Mag squatted on a tree branch not far away. He watched the 10th-tier knight who was sitting upright outside the room door. He had his longsword by him, and although his eyes were closed, Mag could sense his strong powers.

  Mag recognized this knight. Lear was a very powerful knight in the military. He was an upright person, and was not Blum’s aide. He was probably deployed by Andre to protect Blum.

  From this distance, Mag was very confident in claiming his life with his flying sword. However, such a killing style would easily make people connect it to him.

  Besides, Mag did not intend to kill Lear, who was considered a rather good knight among the 10th-tier knights. It was not worth it for him to die because of a villain like Blum.

  Therefore, Mag jumped right out, and walked towards Lear, who was sitting by the door. Shadows started appearing behind Mag.

  These were just special effects made by light which Mag bought from the system. It was usually used on stage for special effects.

  At the same time, a concave force field started rising slowly, enveloping the entire courtyard to separate it from the outside world.

  The knight, who sat with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he quickly grabbed his longsword, and stood up slowly while watching the man in a black robe walk slowly towards him. With a grave expression, he exclaimed, “Who are you!?”


  “Chi, chi.” The man in a black robe let out a creepy laugh, and suddenly started dashing towards the knight.

  The knight held his sword in both hands, and started rushing towards the man in a black robe. At the same time, he sent out a signal for help.

  The two were only tens of meters apart, and would soon collide.

  The knight held his sword in both hands, and brandished it down. A horrifying sword projection rose from the sword, tearing everything in its path.

  However, the man in a black robe moved like a phantom. He dodged the longsword narrowly, and was not harmed a single bit except for a corner of his clothes being sliced off.

  The knight’s expression changed. He wanted to retract his longsword, but was pierced by something fiery at the back of his waist. He suddenly fell forward.

  “Ah… Josh…”


  Just then, a terrible cry came from the room behind.

  “General!” The knight’s expression changed. He could not care about the pain in his waist, and turned back to check. Blum’s room was already ablaze, and the raging fire was quickly expanding outwards.

  “Darn!” The knight pounced at the man in a black robe with his sword. The man in a black robe might seem like a phantom, but he still suffered several cuts. He suddenly darted backward, and the black robe fell off to reveal his face.

  “Prince Josh!” The knight was stunned, and paused instinctively.

  The man in a black robe escaped in a hurry, darting into the fire, and disappearing out of sight.
