Chapter 1538: Betrayed the Mage Association? Trade?

Rin came to the red bridge near the river of Fuyuki City.

Looking at the red bricks and the gentle lights lighting up the bridge and river, she couldn't help but let some of her stress go with distant eyes.

She took out her phone before looking at the email there.

'12am, bridge, see you there.'

The email was brief.

Rin got this email while she was investigating the Eighth card.

With the sender being an anonymous sender, she could only guess it was someone who knew her.

She came here alone although conventional wisdom would have suggested she came with company.

If it was spam mail, she just wasted her time.

Needless to say, she was a mage and even if someone tried to do anything to her, she can minimize the damage although there is still a risk that she is in over her head.

She could guess who sent her the email. That's why she didn't even tell Luvia that she was there.

She stored the phone away before looking out at the river again.

It's silent here but no one would come here for a picnic since the winds here are crazy. Plus, it's far from the city center so it isn't easy to get here on foot.

The river embankment looked eerie with its silence and tranquility. She can only hear the sound of water washing over stones and the shore.

Rin looked around to spot the one who invited her here.

Then, she spoke up.

"Relax, I came by myself."

She said as the sound of the river slowly ebbed back.

Then, she waited because she knew the person was there.

She heard footsteps.

An individual slowly approached her.

She saw the individual who wore a sharp-looking suit. Her eyes sharpened with her frown.

"It's you..."

She growled.

"Bazett."

The Enforcer was here.

"I didn't think you would come by yourself."

Bazett mused out loud.

"As a fellow Association member, I commend your bravery. As a mage, I would say you're dumb."

"I could say the same of you."

Rin snapped back.

"You know we have the perfect counter to your abilities and you still sent me that email. Aren't you afraid that I might call that man over and mess you up again? I don't think you will escape this time around."

"Oh, don't worry about that."

Bazett said.

"Even if I face him, I don't think I will lose."

"Oh?"

Rin raised an eyebrow.

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah!"

Bazett said.

"Of course, I still can't win."

"Well, you two are monsters anyway."

Rin pursed her lips.

"Anyway, why am I here?"

"As fellow Association members, you should know why I am here, right?"

Bazett said.

"What happened to the cards, huh?"

"Which card?"

Bazett confirmed her suspicion.

"Where is the Seventh Card and why is the Lancer Card in that man's hands?"

"Yes, those are the questions on my mind."

Bazett frowned.

"No, I have a sneaking suspicion that all the cards fell into his hand, including the Archer Card, right?"

"Yes."

Rin admitted.

"Even the Archer and Lancer cards were robbed. If you wanted the seventh card when you invited me here then you're going to be disappointed."

Bazett growled.

"Why's that?"

"Hmm?"

Rin played dumb.

"What do you mean?"

"Why are the cards in his hand? What's your relationship with him?"

Bazett grabbed her canister of Fragrach Orbs.

"I take it that you're betraying the Association?"

"Huh..."

Rin snorted.

"You want to kill me as a traitor in the capacity of an Enforcer?"

"Your betrayal has nothing to do with my current job."

Bazett shook her head.

"No..."

"What do you want?"

Rin frowned.

"You're going to report me?"

"No, I won't. It's not relevant to my job scope."

Bazett used her cold eyes on her.

"But, I do have a job right now."

"You want info, right?"

Rin shrugged.

"The seventh card..."

"Yes, I won't report you to the Association but you need to give me something in return."

"Give me info on the seventh card and this will be the last time we see each other."

"A trade, eh?"

Rin chuckled.

"An Enforcer to the core, you will use anything to get the job done."

Bazett stared at Rin like a lioness.

If she withholds that information then Bazett will get rough with her.

What a violent person...

She bitterly laughed.

"The seventh card isn't captured yet."

"Are you lying?"

Bazett growled.

"I don't sense magic distortions."

"Cause it's deep underground, near the dragon vein."

Rin said.

"I don't think the Association can detect something so deep in the ground. They only know the dragon vein is being distorted. Only I knew about it."

"The main dragon vein..."

Bazett gnashed her teeth.

She sighed after a while.

"Okay..."

"Let's make another deal."
