SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 266: Silent Lana

With a loud bark, the giant dog of the silver sword rushed towards the broken window. But just as it crossed the window, it jumped back again. It came back to Silver Sword with a complaining look.

Surprised by his pet behavior, Silver Sword approached the window. His eyes went wide when he saw the scorched land, which turned dark due to the use of a powerful poison.

While escaping, Kent spread poison along the path to remove all the foot marks and body scent. Thankfully, his clever act saved him from a lot of trouble.

Brerell stared at the scorched land for a long time. But he couldn't find a single clue. He didn't even understand what type of poison the enemy used to knock down all servants at a time. He never heard of a poison that could take down a group of people at once without any time variation.

Controlling his anger, he shifted focus onto the servants and Lana.

"Tell me, did you suspect anyone? Do you guys have any clue?" Brerell asked in a serious tone while closely observing each servant.

All the servants directly fell on his feet and began crying out to save their lives. With a dissatisfied look, Brerell turned towards Lana, who stood with her head down.

"Lady, a string was attached to you and the golden goose. Tell me, did you see the face of that thief?" Brerell asked while observing Lana from top to bottom.

Lana shook her head without lifting her gaze from the ground.

Brerell inquired for few more minutes, but there was no use. Gritting his teeth, he took out the communication orb and informed members of the wizard association in the city.

Afraid that the Celestial Sun Fire Sect would blame their Mintleaf family, the patriarch stepped forward to speak. "Respected Silver Sword, this might be the act of a poison clan. This type of rare poison will only be possessed by them."

Brerell turned his gaze and stared at the patriarch with a fierce look. "Don't tell your speculations. I want evidence, patriarch. Remember one thing, if any of your families have a part in this, you will see my wrath." Brerell warned in a serious tone as he thought of the next course of action.

The Mintleaf family patriarch hurriedly apologized in fear.

Almost everyone, including Brerell, is thinking that the thief has already run away with the golden goose. That's why no one tried to block all the gates of the ritual ground and check on everyone.

While everyone in the room was worrying about the golden goose, Spurgeon approached his mother, Ada Silver, with a depressed face. "Mother, what about the engagement ceremony?"

After hearing his son's question, Ada glared angrily. With an angry scoff, she shifted her fury onto the onlookers who were curiously watching what was going on.

"What are you all staring at? The ceremony will continue after the golden goose is found. Now, leave from here." She spoke angrily while gesturing servants to send everyone out of the ritual ground.

"Please eat food before leaving." Daren Stokes, spoke in a weak tone as he hesitated to say that sentence. Ada immediately glared at him with a murderous look.

"Can't you see what's happening here? How can they eat food while we are suffering here?" Ada uttered angrily.

With a depressed face, the Mintleaf family patriarch ordered the servants to escort Lana back home. Without lifting her head, Lana followed the servants. She didn't try to reveal the shiny button she found. She is afraid that people will ask more questions if she reveals that button. For the sake of protecting her family name, she swallowed the humiliation for the time being.

Kent, who stood with Fatty, and the two girls observed Lana with a curious look. He never expected this matter to resolve so easily.

After Lana left, the onlookers also began moving out of the ritual ground.

Sophia held Kent's hand with a depressed face. She felt bad for Lana.

"Why are you laughing suddenly?" Kent asked Fatty, who was smiling gleefully.

"This is exactly what I wanted." Fatty replied in a whispering tone while covering his smile with his palm.

Mei Bai slapped Fatty on the back and dragged him away with angry curse. Fatty waved his hand in good-bye while following Mei Bai.

"Shall we go?" Sophia asked Kent in a weak tone.

"Why don't you take a look at your business for the time being? I have a small job." Kent replied in a concerned tone while staring into her eyes.

"That's not bad. I didn't look at business after the transfer. Okay, then, I will do as you say." Sophia replied in a sweet tone and left the ritual ground alone.

Kent spent some more time on the ritual ground. After making sure that no one was observing him like Larry, Kent got on his pet and flew towards the eastern commercial street.

He went to the same old potions shop where Maya took him and waited for the old man. The old man stared at Kent from top to bottom. After a brief pause, he pointed his finger at a corner room.

Inside the room, the matriarch of the poison clan is already waiting for him with a smiling face. As Kent stepped inside, he saw the matriarch, who stood at the center in a beautiful long red dress, which revealed her curves.

"I already got news from ritual ground. What a plan! I knew you were the perfect person for this task." The matriarch said while laughing heart-fully.

But Kent is not in the mood to smile. He stared into the eyes of the matriarch with a questioning glance.

Understanding his seriousness, Matriarch took out the wooden box, which contained the dwarf dragon egg. After checking the contents of the box, Kent carefully placed it in his storage bracelet. Even though the egg is not useful right now, Kent believed that it will be a great asset in future.

He took out the golden goose from the pet pouch and passed the goose to the matriarch. "It's okay; you can keep that vanishing pouch with you. Your risk definitely deserved more."

Kent didn't respond to her comments. After saying good-bye, he turned around to leave.

The smile on the matriarch's face vanished, and she stared at leaving back of Kent with serious look.
