Fire Mage Chapter 553

Chapter 553: Travel

Charles hurriedly cast the [False Blink] spell and moved once again. After blinking a few more times, he soon reached the Golden Blanket Restaurant and stopped at the entrance.

Then, he glanced around and soon zeroed his gaze on a particular little old-fashioned but elegant carriage.

At that moment, a whirly blonde-haired young woman in her reddish-long gown stood next to the carriage's door and appeared to be talking to someone through the communication device.

As he walked closer to her, he released his wisdom power and probed the strange wave coming through the communication bracelet.

He heard a familiar male voice from the bracelet a second later and furrowed.

'Could you please tell your location and your name, mam?'

It was none other than John's voice!

'They finally found the bracelet, huh.' A smirk appeared on Charles's face. Then, he arrived closer to Jessie, signaled her to stop talking, and removed the silver bracelet from her hand.

After that, he released more wisdom power into the bracelet, broke the hundreds of magic array circles, and destroyed the communication bracelet.

He then tossed the silver bracelet to the nearby dustbin and muttered.

"Let's talk inside."

Without waiting for her response, he moved towards the carriage's door, turned the knob before opening it, and walked inside.

At the same time, he thought of something and ordered.

"Oliver, drive the carriage to the North. Our destination is 88 Rocky Street."

"Yes, sir," Oliver responded with a nod, pulled the horse reins, and started driving the carriage.

Meanwhile, Jessie walked into the carriage with a confused look and closed the door from inside.

As the carriage moved away from the restaurant's entrance, Jessie sat on the back seat, closed the curtains, looked at Charles, and asked.

"What happened, Mr. Charles? I thought you came here to seal the Affinity Potion. Moreover, why did you tell me to wait here instead of going to the airport to pick you up?"

On the other hand, Charles leaned his back on the carriage seat and looked at Jessie's status.

After looking at her status for a second, he dismissed it and asked a question instead of responding.

"How many slaves do you have now?"

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Meanwhile, Jessie froze for a moment and soon widened her eyes.

"How did you find out?"

"I heard a lot about your blood enslavement skill from Mr. Runeth." Charles paused for a moment and then asked.

"So, how much manpower do you have?"

Jessie went silent for a second, moved her hand towards the door knot, locked the space inside the carriage, and answered.

"I currently have 46 Rank-3 Mystics, 405 Rank-1, and Rank-2 Mystics in this Miracle City, Mr. Charles. Most of them are bloodline Warlocks and could do all kinds of stealth works for us."

"Oh? What about Rank-4 Mystics?" Charles asked in surprise.

"Rank-4 Mystics are hard to control, Mister. Even if I cast my Blood Control skill on them, they would enter their Inner World and nullify my spell. Even my [Mind Manipulation] skill has no use in this situation." Jessie responded solemnly.

Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head and finally spoke.

"We aren't going after the potion now. Instead, I'm planning on doing some secret mission. Can you help me with that?"

Before Jessie could open her mouth to respond, he raised his head and added.

"I'm warning you, Jessie. It's more dangerous than you think. In short, you've to hide important information in your Inner World to even walk out of this carriage."

Even after hearing his warning, no sign of anxiety or fear appeared on Jessie's face.

Instead, she calmly looked into his eyes and spoke.

"I'm used to doing these kinds of stealth works, Mister." She deliberated for a moment and then added.

"Tell me more detail about this secret mission."

On the other hand, Charles nodded his head, took out a silver pocket watch from his space ring, opened the outer case, and looked into it.

"It's 6.58 A.M now. It will be more like a series of missions. Anyway, our first job is to steal something from someone with a higher position." While saying this, he raised his hand, extracted a small part of his memory cloud from his Inner World, and sent it to Jessie's forehead.

Before Jessie could even blink her eyes, a piece of memory entered her Inner World and was engraved deep into her mind.

'So fast!'

She hurriedly closed her eyes and entered her Inner World.

She soon found herself seated on the throne made of human bones and looked at the surroundings a moment later. Corpses, blood pools, bones, and skeletons were the only things that appeared in her Inner World, and the whole world looked eerier. Three blood moons also materialized in the dark sky and illuminated her Inner World in a reddish light.

Currently, she wore a long dark gown, a reddish crown on her head, and looked more like an Evil Goddess than some random young woman.

Without minding the strange screaming noises coming from all those fresh corpses and flesh-sticked skeletons, she crossed her legs and looked into the newly appeared memories.

"Hmm, we aren't going to 88 Rocky Street but to an abandoned Church. But before that, we need to create an 'accident' and use that accident to steal something from a particular man named 'Fate Professor'... Wait, is he the Director of the Security Department? How did Charles know him? It seems he isn't a normal foe." She nodded, safely hid the particular information, and left her Inner World.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, looked at Charles on the opposite seat, and asked.

"How are we going to find our target's carriage?"

"Our target usually travels in a security carriage. So, it won't be a problem." Charles said calmly, opened the carriage door, looked outside, and noticed that their carriage was still moving on the main road.

He then stuck his head out and ordered.

"Oliver, stop the carriage."

"Yes, Sir," Oliver didn't say any word and parked the carriage towards the roadside.

Meanwhile, Charles shut the carriage door, raised his hand, and touched his face.

Simultaneously, he linked his mind with the 'Identity Imprints,' chose the 'Vivian's identity Imprint' and transformed. He knew that using Edith's or Julius's identity Imprint could expose his original identity, so he thought of acting cautiously.

Under Jessie's dumbfounded gaze, he started to shape-shift and transformed into a silver-haired woman.

His oval face changed into a square one, his jade eyes turned sky-blue color, his chest area also bulged abnormally, and he appeared more like a 30 to 35 years old woman!

Meanwhile, Jessie showed a horrified look and asked in wariness.

"What the f*ck is this?!"

Charles removed his current dress without minding her gaze and took out a lady's dress like a long-sleeved shirt, a black-colored pencil skirt, a black frock coat, and even a red scarf from his space ring.

Then, he wore them one by one and started doing a little makeup.

After that, he cleared his throat, looked at the stupefied Jessie, and smiled warmly.

"I can shape-shift into anyone I want." He stated in a feminine tone.

"I-I can see that myself." Jessie stuttered a little and soon heaved a deep sigh to calm her emotions.

Meanwhile, Charles opened the pocket watch and checked the time.

"It's 7.02 A.M,'" He muttered.

After that, he opened the carriage door and jumped down from the carriage.

He soon moved towards the driver's seat and spoke.

"I'll do the driving from now on. You can go to the passengers' seat and take some rest with Jessie. We have a long day ahead."
