Chapter 519: Caught

"That's partially true as well," the old man muttered, smiling. "You're stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the contrary, I am free of all responsibility."

Xaen thought of something as a smirk formed on his lips. "There is one way I can be free of responsibility though."

"What way?" the old man asked. 

"If you accept to become a Dean of the academy. I've been asking you for a long time. When are you going to say yes?" Xaen asked, bursting into laughter. 

"The academy can afford to have two Deans. When I'm out, you take care of this place. When you're out, I will. We can both have some freedom then," he added. "If there's anyone who can properly hold all the Great Families back, it's you."

"Nah, I'm not interested in becoming a Dean here. As I said, I am not good with kids."

"It's not as if I'm particularly good either. If I were, your grandson wouldn't have created that mess for me." Xaen smiled wryly. 

As he noticed the frown of the old man, he continued. "I'm not talking bad about him. I'm just saying casually. You just have to be the figurehead. All things will be handled by the teachers. It's not as if I do much either."

"I-" The old man started speaking but stopped in the middle, hearing something. "Hmm? Did you hear that?" 

"Hear what?" Xaen askew. 

The old man stood up and looked straight ahead. "It looks like something happened. Your guards are running in this direction."

Xaen also stood up. "I'll be right back. Let me check."

A portal appeared before him. He inserted the portal. 

"I'm coming too." The old man also entered the portal. 

The two of them came out of another portal that had opened before the guards. 

"May I ask what you're hurrying for? Is there an intruder?" Xaen asked the guard. 

"It looks like someone infiltrated the administration block according to the information," the guard answered. "We were just going to check."

"Someone infiltrated this place? That's amusing." Xaen smirked. "You can go back to your posts. I'll personally check."

With hands in his pocket, he started walking towards the administration block. 

"Do you keep something special in your admin building? Why would someone try to infiltrate that place?" Grandpa Chi asked Xaen. 

"I'm not sure. I don't think this has ever happened before. But we do keep all our student documents there. Who knows, maybe some Great Family sent someone to see those documents to find more about your Grandson?" Xaen responded. 

"They have been trying to get me to tell them more about my investigation and the identity of the student that killed two Great Family heirs. Since I don't give them, I won't be surprised if they stoop so low," he added. 

Soon, he reached the entrance of the Academic Building to find the cut in the door.

"So it's true. Someone did infiltrate. And it's a Variant," Xaen smirked. "Not bad. When I find that person, I would certainly use them against the Great Families to bring them down a notch."

He pushed the door open and stepped inside the building. 

Xaen went straight to the room where they kept all the student documents, but the gate was locked. No one had entered that room.

"If not here, then that person isn't here for the documents. Probably he is after our technology? The Families were also curious about the workings of the Limiters. It's also possible. Let's check the Storage too," he said as he turned around. 

...

Inside the vast storage room, many big boxes were kept, some of which were even taller than Cassius himself. 

There appeared to be hundreds of boxes there, all of which were sealed. 

"You check from there. I'll check from here!" Cassius told Alice as he walked to one corner. 

He opened the first box. The box was filled with papers only which made him move over to the next box. 

Alicia also continued checking. She was the lucky one though. She found the box filled with Limiters on her first try. 

"I found it!" She exclaimed. 

"Perfect!" Cassius ran up to her and checked inside the box, which appeared to be filled with hundreds of limiters. "That should be all we can carry at the moment. If we have time, we'll come for more later."

He closed the box and picked up the wooden box, which was filled with Limiters. 

"Need my help?" As soon as Cassius picked up the box, someone asked. 

"It's fine. No ne-" 

He subconsciously refused the offer but stopped as he realized that it wasn't the voice of Alicia. 

He turned to look at the entrance to find a young boy standing there. 

"Dean?"

He dropped the box on the group, stunned. Of all the people he could have met, he had to meet this personally?

Alicia didn't know who the person was, but she heard Cassius call him Dean. She also heard that the Dean of the Academy was a powerful Warlock, but at the same time, he had the looks of kids. 

She frowned, wondering what they could do now. They needed to steal the Limiters from this man's academy, but they were already caught?

They had already made plans on what to do if they were caught and how to escape, but their plan didn't include a scenario where the person who caught them was the Dean. 

The Dean wasn't alone either. There was an old man standing behind him. 

"What should we do?" she asked Cassius, bringing her lips close to his ears. "Should we fight?"

"Young lady, I can hear your words," Xaen said, amused. "But I welcome you to try."

"Don't. He isn't someone we can fight," Cassius muttered. "Just surrender."

Cassius went down on his knees. If there were literally anyone else, he wouldn't have surrendered so easily, but he knew about Xaen. That man was a legend! He was also the person who led the crusade against the Dark Warlocks at one time!

It was also under his leadership that the Dark Warlocks of this nation disbanded. Moreover, the Dark Warlock leader had also disappeared after that. 

He didn't know much about that time since it was before he was born, but according to the legends, the leader of the Dark Warlocks was known as the Dark Wizard. He was a terrifying person who was someone that everyone was scared of. 

After years of fighting, one day, he suddenly disappeared. All credit went to Xaen, who was leading the cause at that time. 

Cassius knew that he couldn't stand a chance against Xaen.. Instead, he and Alicia might only die, which wasn't good for their cause.
