Chapter 540: Gatekeeper

On the other hand, Charles removed the curtain, looked at the mansion from inside, and released his wisdom power.

As his wisdom power moved towards the invisible barrier that enveloped the building, it dissipated all of a sudden.

'Oh? It seems that barrier is a very high-level defensive array formation.' He nodded to himself, opened the carriage door, walked out of the carriage, and tried his best to look at the mansion's lawn.

He didn't hide his intention at all.

Meanwhile, one of the two gatekeepers noticed his action and hurriedly walked towards him while gripping the sword hilt tighter.

The gatekeeper arrived near the carriage in a minute and stared at him warily.

He appeared to be around 30 years old with long brown hair, a rough-looking face, azure eyes, and a sharp nose. He wore silver armor over his regular dress and appeared imposing.

"Who are you? Why are you looking at the mansion building? You can't park the carriage here, Mister." His tone appeared authoritative.

On the other hand, Charles smiled at the gatekeeper, stealthily cast [Curse of the Overlord] spell on him, and asked.

"Do you know anyone named Ezra staying in this building, my friend? I came here to meet him."

Upon hearing his words, the gatekeeper froze for a moment and was about to unsheath his sword but stopped.

At that moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing the young man in front of him.

"Don't look so cautious, my friend. I have known Ezra for a long time. In truth, I came here to give him something." Charles paused for a moment while making an unhappy face and then added.

"Unfortunately, we had a big fight a few months ago, and he told me not to appear in front of him again."

Strangely, the gatekeeper felt sympathy for the young man and gave him a light pat on his shoulder.

"I know that guy is an arrogant punk. Even I got an urge to slap him on the face for kicking my dog yesterday. If not for his privileged position and connection with security forces, I would've beaten him up and thrown him out of the mansion house long ago. Moreover, Boss Hayden also started giving importance to that guy recently. What do you want to give him anyway? I can help you."

"Oh? That would be very helpful." Charles widened his eyes in surprise, then looked around cautiously and added.

"Can you get inside the carriage? I can't give that in the open area. It has some precious value."

The gatekeeper nodded his head in understanding and agreed instantly.

"No problem." Saying so, he removed the sword from his waist, held it in his right hand, and entered the carriage.

On the other hand, Oliver felt a strange chill in his heart.

Although he couldn't understand the situation, he vaguely realized that the blonde-haired young man had somehow enslaved the gatekeeper in mere seconds!

The same goes for Jessie. At that moment, she couldn't even believe what she was seeing.

'His technique is way superior when comparing with my blood enslavement spell!' She mumbled inwardly and looked at Charles with a disbelieving expression on her face.

At that moment, Charles seated next to Jessie, locked the carriage door from inside, and activated the space lock ability.

Then, he signaled Jessie to take the potion bottle from her space ring and turned his gaze towards the gatekeeper.

In the meantime, the gatekeeper looked at the carriage's interior with an impressive look and asked him.

"What do you want to give him?"

Instead of responding, Charles looked into the gatekeeper's eyes and cast [Burning Thoughts] spell on him.

Simultaneously, he moved his hand towards Jessie, snatched the potion bottle, and opened the lid.

Following that, he released his invisible string, opened the gatekeeper's mouth, and poured the liquid into his mouth.

As the liquid entered his throat, the gatekeeper swallowed the liquid and drank it.

"That's it?" Jessie looked at Charles dubiously and soon saw him taking a needle from his space ring.

Without minding her curious gaze, he swiftly made a small wound on his finger and let a drop of blood fall on his palm.

Then, he activated the [Shapeshifting] skill, absorbed the drop of blood, and created a new identity in his mind.

At the same time, he looked at the gatekeeper and cast [Burning Consciousness] spell on him.

The next instant, a large amount of information about the gatekeeper started to appear in his Inner World one by one.

'Winston Grey... He is a resident of Forestsage Street and became a gatekeeper of the Divine Order organization a year ago. Unlike others, he doesn't know much about the organization's secrets.' While reading, he also noticed that the identity imprint was completed and activated the ability.

A second later, his face started to change into a rough-looking one, and his hair color, eye color, and even his skin color also changed into a new one.

He turned into an exact copy of Winston in the next few seconds!

Once he completed the shapeshifting process, he first removed Winston's dress and wore them one by one.

Then, he took the sword from Winston's hand, shifted his gaze towards the flustered Jessie, and spoke.

"Once I step out of the carriage, wait for 60 seconds and then order Oliver to move to the museum. Do not wait for my return."

Before she could respond, he walked out of the carriage and moved towards the mansion's compound gate.

Soon, he arrived near the gate, got into Wilston's usual position, and stood in silence.

Meanwhile, the nearby gatekeeper looked at him strangely and asked while looking at the carriage.

"Is he your friend?"

At that moment, Oliver also pulled the reins, whipped the horse, and started driving in the opposite direction.

On the other hand, Charles showed a stern expression on his face and nodded.

"He is an old acquaintance of me. We were-" Before he could give him a proper answer, both of them heard a clanging sound from the mansion's interior and shut their mouth.

At that moment, Charles peeked at the entrance and saw a dozen people walking out of the four-storied building.

They then stepped down from the raised porch, arrived near the three wooden carriages parked next to the fountain, and walked in.

'Hmm? Wait, Hayden is also leaving now? Where is he going?' He felt elated inside.

Simultaneously, Charles tapped his finger, stealthily took out the stopwatch from his space ring, and checked the time.

'7.07 A.M.' He muttered inwardly and hurriedly opened the gate.

On the other hand, the three carriages drove out of the mansion, entered the dirt road, and started moving in the direction where Oliver's carriage went earlier.
