Chapter 597: That’s a Secret

Chapter 597 That’s a Secret

“You never asked stupid questions like that in the past.” Louis looked at Mag with a peculiar expression before taking a glance at the final assassin to fall.

“Perhaps I’ve changed after becoming a father.” Mag shrugged as he stowed away his longsword. He tore a strip off his clothes to bandage up the wound on his arm, then tore off another large strip, and tied it around Louis’ bleeding leg.

“That’s true. Children really do have a way of transforming you.” Louis nodded in agreement. Even as his wound was being bandaged up, his brows never furrowed even in the slightest.

The rain was still falling, covering up all other sounds, and the blood from the battle was quickly washed away.

Mag bandaged up Louis’ wound before standing up, and they both smiled as they looked at each other.

Their clothes were in tatters, and both of them had received different wounds. Their hair had also been plastered to their scalps by the pouring rain, giving them a very disheveled appearance.

Only they knew just how perilous that battle had been. If their teamwork had even been slightly lacking, they would have been the ones to be killed. Either that, or one of the nine assassins would have escaped, and in that case, they would have been as good as dead.

Mag’s chest was rising and falling drastically as a sense of complete exhaustion washed over him. He had killed six assassins in less than three minutes, completely overexerting his current body in the process.

After all, there were two 4th-tier knights as well as two 3rd-tier magic casters among them, and any other 3rd-tier knight wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Of course, Louis had also performed an instrumental role during this process. He had killed that lurking Cheetah on his own, and also slain the final two Black Falcons.

Louis sheathed his long saber, and said, “You didn’t have to take this risk.”

“Didn’t I say the same thing to you three years ago?” Louis also had children waiting for him at home.

“Your throat had been slit three years ago, so you couldn’t say anything on the way here.” Louis shook his head in response.

“You have to admit, though, that I’m still a better killer than you are.” Mag chuckled.

“I’m a proper businessman now, so it’s only normal that I’m not proficient in killing.” Louis gave a justified response.

Mag looked at the bodies strewn all over the place, and said, “We need to clean up this place now so Josh and Sean’s underlings won’t be onto us.”

“I’ll take care of that.” Louis pulled out a small earthen bottle from his pocket. He shielded it from the rain with his hand as he took off the lid before tipping some brown powder onto the bodies. As soon as the powder came into contact with blood, green flames erupted and burned the bodies into dust in the blink of an eye. The dust was then washed away by the rain, and it was as if nothing had ever been there.

“So you’re telling me you’re a proper businessman when you constantly carry something like that with you? You’re not the type of ‘businessman’ who goes around looting houses and committing murder, are you?” Mag took a couple of steps backward with his hand over his nose. Necroincineration powder was not a very common type of magic powder; it was ideal for getting rid of bodies.

After such a torrential storm, even if someone could tell that a fierce battle had taken place here, it would be impossible for them trace who had been involved in the battle.

“It’s not easy being a businessman nowadays, so I have to carry some things to protect myself.” Louis slowly dragged his wounded leg behind him as he strode over to the next body and applied the same powder again. Soon, all nine bodies were gone.

The torrential rain washed away any trace of their existence. Without a professional magic caster on the scene, it would be very difficult to completely wipe away all signs of battle. However, it was unlikely that no one would have noticed this battle taking place. Perhaps someone would notice the aftermath tomorrow and alert the Gray Temple to this, but there shouldn’t be any way for them to link this battle to Mag.

“I’ll fix you up when we get back. It’d be bad if you ended up becoming lame in both legs.” Mag made his way over to Louis and carried him on his back as he made his way back to Mamy Restaurant.

“Was Sean involved in the incident three years ago?” Louis asked.

Mag shook his head, and replied, “I’m not sure if he was, but seeing as he sent someone to spy on you, that indicates that he wants to get involved now. He doesn’t want me to reappear and present a volatile factor in his and Josh’s battle for the throne.”

“But if Josh orchestrated everything three years ago, and he wasn’t involved at all, then why would he be concerned that you would appear again? In any case, you wouldn’t side with Josh no matter what, so this should be good news to him.” Louis was still confused.

“That’s because Sean knows that I won’t side with him, either. I knew we were destined to walk different paths from the moment he disclosed his desire to start a second war among species to me. I’ve always advocated for world peace,” Mag explained.

“Tch, world peace? Who was it that was running all over the world and causing trouble everywhere?” Louis chuckled before a serious look appeared on his face as he continued, “You won’t choose Josh, nor will you choose Sean, so who are you going to choose? That carpenter third prince?”

“This is not a choice that I have to make, is it? I’m no longer the Alex I once was; I’m merely the owner of Mamy Restaurant in Chaos City. Besides, if I really did have to choose, don’t you think that carpenter third prince is the best choice among the three?” Mag asked with a smile.

Louis faltered momentarily before nodding in response. “I think you’re right.”

The two of them returned to Mamy Restaurant and escaped detection the entire way back as there was no one else braving the rain outside. Mag closed the blinds and asked the system to get him a professional-grade first-aid kit. After cleaning up Louis’ wound, he stitched it up before applying some ointment and bandages.

In a magical world like this, there were clearly better ways to heal a wound, but this was the best option that they currently had. After a period of rest and recuperation, the wound should heal quite quickly, and his leg should be back to full health.

“Who would have thought that you would learn to cook and treat wounds? I’m really curious about just what happened to you in the past three years.” Louis aimed a curious glance at Mag.

“That’s a secret.” Mag gave a mysterious response before pouring himself a glass of beer. He took a massive sip before letting loose a sigh of satisfaction.

In the Moreton Manor, Jeffree sat on a chair, and asked, “How is the Blue Suede Textiles Shop doing?”
