Chapter 261: Shut the Mouth

Holding his together behind his back, Warren looked at the clouds outside of the window for a while, then walked to the one-eyed swordman standing beside the door of the study. "Lorban, keep an eye on Leo and the sorcerer, especially on what they buy and where they go."

As there was still a small chance that Leo and the sorcerer visited Valentine because of some other reason, Warren needed to make sure his guessing was correct. However, even if he could not make sure of their intention, he would still write to the big nobles and remind them to be more mindful.

"Yes, Lord Warren," responded Lorban with great respect.

Because of what happened in the bar, Lorban felt that, as one of Warren’s best guards, he let the young master down. Now he was trying to leave Warren with some good impression with his extremely respectful manner.

The task was not risky, since Lorban would not need to lead a whole bunch of guards to follow a middle-rank sorcerer, which would be basically the equivalent to comitting suicide. What Lorban needed to do was only to tell those bar owners, gangsters, and smugglers what the young master, Warren, wanted. As long as Leo and the sorcerer were still in the East Haven, they would always know where they were and what they were doing.

Watching Lorban leaving with some other guards, Warren’s mood became pretty good. Imagining the picture of the young sorcerer’s dead body lying on the ground surrounded by the cardinals from the empire, he walked to the bar in his living room and poured a glass of fancy golden rum for himself, celebrating his upcoming victory,

Sipping the amber-colored liquor, the spicy taste heated up his throat all the way down to his stomach. Warren released his breath smelling of liquor and put on a mocking smile, "What a pity... The sorcerer’s actually a pretty good-looking guy. Given one month, I could turn him into a great toy, like what I did to those good-looking young boys and girls."

Thinking of the naked girls and boys in the secret chamber of the villa, Warren felt aroused. So he put down the glass and was about to go there to vent his desire with his lash.

Warren felt a bit too warm from the liquor, so he decided to take off his long jacket first.

He was wondering which boy or girl he should torture first when he got there, and when he stared at himself in the mirror, a strange man wearing brownish-red jacket suddenly showed up behind him in there!

Warren’s eyes suddenly opened wide and he was about to quickly turn around to defend himself.

However, he realized that he could not even remove his eyes from the young man’s eyes, as if his eyes were two magic swirls!

At this time, a flash of blue light burst out of Warren’s chest and that light refreshed his brain. Warren managed to escape from the young man’s eyes.

As the son of a grand knight, the man in charge of a notorious human trafficking group, Warren was arrogant, but he was also very cautious. In case of his mind being controlled by someone else, Warren bought a Unicorn Necklace, which had cost him a lot of money. The necklace could protect him against low-rank spells targeting his mind and brain.

Although the necklace did not work immediately, it still managed to protect him!

However, one second after Warren got rid of the young man’s control and felt lucky, the young man started casting a strange spell again. Some kind of weird power sneaked into Warren’s body and he could not move anymore!

The third-spell magic, Hold Person!

Warren was so scared that he wanted to scream, however, he could not even move his lips.

"Don’t overestimate the power of the magic item." Lucien stopped behind Warren, smiling gently. "And also don’t underestimate a cautious sorcerer."

Being full of cunning tricks was one of the symbols of being a qualified sorcerer. A good sorcerer should always be prepared for many possibilities in a fight.

As Lucien was saying, using Mage Hand, Lucien took off the necklace from Warren’s neck and removed Warren’s spirit imprint in it with the skill from the Congress.

After leaving the bar, because Lucien never trusted such an immoral and viperous man like Warren, before Leo recovered, Lucien used the first-circle, Unseen Servant, to follow Warren and his men to see what they were going to do.

The fact that Reja was actually a sorcerer was out of Lucien’s expectation, but fortunately, the servant strictly followed Lucien’s order and stayed a hundred meters away from them when Reja was detecting the surroundings. Then, the unseen servant sneaked into the villa following the guards and hid in Warren’s villa. Then, it witnessed the whole scene where Valentine’s servant sold him.

After that, when Lorban left the villa, the unseen servant also managed to leave the place and then it found Lucien on the street using the connection between the summoned and the summoner.

Hearing the unseen servant’s words, Lucien decided to remove the trouble thoroughly.

Thanks to the many servants and guards going in and out of the villa, Lucien did not really have a difficult time getting in here. To be cautious, Lucien used his improved version of the spell, Charm Person.

Feeling his own spirit imprint in the necklace being destroyed by Lucien’s great spiritual power, Warren’s face turned pale. His eyes were begging for mercy.

Lucien’s brown eyes looked into Warren’s eyes again, and they started becoming mysterious and deep.

Although Warren was still trying to threaten Lucien with his eyes, he realized that begging did not work at all, as Lucien did not care. He had the Will of Elements behind him, and even the whole Congress of Magic.

Warren’s eyes gradually lost focus, then an admiring smile appeared on his face, "Sir, I’m at your service."

Lucien smiled.

...

When Reja was working on his magic experiment with a useless dwarven girl abandoned by Warren, he heard someone knocking at the lab’s door.

"What?" asked Reja aloud.

"Mr. Reja, the young master’s looking for you," answered the familiar voice on the other side of the door, "About the sorcerer and Leo."

Reja frowned a bit and murmured in low voice, "Why look for trouble? He’s a middle-rank sorcerer!"

As a low-rank sorcerer, Reja knew clearly how big was the power difference between each circle, not to mention the power difference between mages of different ranks.

However, since he relied on Warren a lot to get money and magic materials, Reja walked out of his lab and came to Warren’s living room.

Warren’s cheeks slightly flushed, as if he was drunk, and his voice was lower than usual, "Mr. Reja, come here and grab a drink first."

"I’m working on an experiment now. A cup of Sky Blue will do." Reja did not feel suspicious at all.

When Reja approached the bar, Warren quickly walked toward him and gave him a big hug. To the great surprise of all the servants present, Warren shouted, "Reja, I love you!"

"What?" Reja was confused. Then quickly, he had this strong sense of danger coming to him. Although he tried his best to get rid of Warren’s hug, he could not. After all, Warren had awakened his Blessing with some magic potion. Being hugged by him, Reja’s spiritual power could not concentrate.

At this time, a big fireball fiercely shot out of the room beside the living room, and directly hit them. A great explosion filled the whole place. Apart from the fireball, the explosion was also contributed by the explosives around Warren’s waist, tearing Reja’s magic robe into pieces.

When the blast waves faded, there were only pieces of flesh of Warren and Reja left.

Like in a nightmare, the servants were all trying to run out of that place. However, together with the voice casting a spell in the room, their movement was immediately slowed down.

After finishing the two major enemies, Lucien started to clear away Warren’s men, including Jarolim and Lorban, who later came back.

...

The human and elf prisoners in the chamber all heard the great explosion. They waited there with great hope to see whether anyone would come for them. However, no one came, so they started trying to open the magic gate themselves.

Surprisingly, the gate was not hard to break. When they left the chamber, they found the whole villa quiet like a tomb.

A human among them said to the rest of them aloud, "We should stay united! Or we would be sold again by those bastards in the East Haven!"

They all agreed with the human, and they started to search for more slaves in the villa and freed them.

After that, they secretly left the sinful place.

...

In the evening, in the manor outside of Segru, Jacob got the news.

"What? Someone killed Warren and destroyed his place?!" The veins on Jacob’s forehead were bulging.
