Chapter 844: Part 1: Shady People
From MC's perspective:
East City, shabby inn,
Late at night, a group of level-5 wizards approached the inn. The same feeble old man is sitting behind the counter.
"Hey, geezer!"
"What happened to the fat sheep?" One of the level-5 wizards asked. He has a thick beard with a small scar on his left face.
The old man wasn't surprised by their presence. Though it was like a random routine.
"The fat sheep is inside. He doesn't seem to be strong," he added.
"Harumph!"
"If he is that strong, then what's the point of coming to this shabby inn," The wizard snorted before instructing his group to enter inside.
Seeing that four people are entering the inn one by one.
The old man thought of something before saying, "Hey, make it noiseless." He knew four of them were weird magic users.
They have a quite matching ability to handle dirty tasks.
Soon, four of them arrived before the room.
One of them released his magic. In the blink of an eye, an invisible barrier covered the room.
"My level-5 barrier is placed. The target can't leave or make a noise," He said.
Hearing that the rest of them entered the room. The barrier magic user has to stay outside to continue the magic spell.
"Uh!" When 3 of them entered the room. The bearded wizard was surprised. Because no one was inside.
"The old man lost his mind, "The person beside him said with anger.
They thought that the target must be asleep inside. But there was no sign of him here.
"Let's go," The bearded man said. He was disappointed.
When all of them came down to the registration desk. The old man was in his sleep.
Smash!
The wooden desk was crushed by a small coercion. Which in turn jolted awake the old man.
"What happened?"He asked.
The next second, he saw the angry faces of the wizards.
"There was no one inside. That person must have slipped away when you were sleeping."
"Well, we can't touch you. But you can answer the City Lord," The bearded man said in a cold tone.
No one knows that an invisible net was cast by a City Lord to target lone visitors. In this way, he has been taking massive amounts of money ever since the Adamont Canyon changes occurred.
The influential people inside the city are indirectly cooperating with him which includes the shop owners.
But if the shop owners are found to have leaked or kept hidden resources. Then they were dealt with secretly by the City Lord's people.
Gulp!
The old man swallowed his saliva in fear. His face turned pale with fright. Things are going smoothly for him. Even though he had one or two customers.
But he had never failed to inform the city lord's people. The current situation is baffling for him.
"Sir, give me another chance. He must be roaming inside the city. If he comes back again, I'll contact you in the morning," The old man said in a trembling tone.
Hearing the face of the bearded man showed some ease. He liked the current reaction of the old man.
"Alright, let's do it that way," After saying that he left together with his companion.
When they are gone. The old man hurriedly went to check.
Creak!
The door opened.
"He was gone," The old man said to himself. Seeing that no one was inside. He blamed himself. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have asked them to come earlier.
When he left the room.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared inside the room.
"Damn, even the run-down place was targeted by shady people," I grunted.
It feels like an area of an evil faction rather than a genuine lawful city under the government.
Fortunately, I was in the Gregor Mansion earlier.
To think someone tried to do something during my absence. My eyes turned cold. Then I shook my head and removed the unnecessary thoughts.
I don't have time to deal with them. I have to return to the academy to participate in an upcoming competition between the 3 academies.
Tuk!
The wooden floor beneath me started to creak. Seeing that a look of understanding dawned on me.
"I almost forgot about the passive gravity ability," I muttered to myself.
Even though I have control over it. But unconsciously the passive gravity power leaks out.
Then I decided to stay in the Gregor Mansion until the morning.
The following day,
After completing the morning routine, I meditated here for a few hours. The mana in this city is better than the outside.
But still, it's not comparable to the Capital. After feeling the limit, I summoned the status panel to take a look.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. Looking at the increase in attributes. I nodded my head in satisfaction before getting up to get ready.
20 minutes later,
I changed into new clothes. Then I appeared outside.
