Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Trap

With a gentle “click,” a figure agilely leaped onto the carriage, closed the door properly, and then sat across from Tang Qi, a hint of restraint in his demeanor, respectfully asking, “Sir, you wanted to see me?”

“It seems you have truly chosen the second path. Aren’t you afraid that I was just speaking casually and might directly ruin your future? After all, if those gold coins aren’t shared, you could live a comfortable life.”

Tang Qi looked at McGraw with amused interest, his gaze hinting at the alley nearby. The young beggars there were clearly the “cast” that McGraw had bought with money.

Of course, to have a group of subordinates merely through bestowing favors is useless. Establishing authority is the key, it’s just unknown how McGraw managed to do that.

In the face of Tang Qi’s questioning, McGraw merely smiled, then firmly said, “I trust you, sir!”

“Very clever. Indeed, some just lack a bit of opportunity. Once they get it, perhaps they can achieve something great.”

“What I am giving him now is just such an opportunity.”

Tang Qi stared at McGraw and finally nodded.

Now that the young beggars have embarked on a strange and dangerous path according to his advice, Tang Qi naturally wouldn’t be stingy with the chance to work. Most importantly, he indeed needed a character like McGraw to arrange some matters.

With a thought, Tang Qi took out a business card and handed it to McGraw, stating flatly, “The first job you’ll get is to pick up something from this place. Those are a heap of old newspapers. You need to act out a scene and make those twin sisters discover a piece of information in the newspapers.”

“Remember, don’t make it too obvious. You have to create an accidental atmosphere. Can you do it?”

At this moment, McGraw was undoubtedly very excited. Not only had Tang Qi pulled out a business card, but he also produced a familiar-looking bag, which he shook slightly. The sound inside was enough to make Messer City’s merchants drop their scruples and give praise.

That was the scent of Divine Grace, the sound of Divine Grace.

Ambition began to breed within the heart of the young beggar. He suddenly realized that this path he had chosen might indeed have a future.

So what if he was serving a “Big Shot”?

Just complete one job, and soon he could live a respectable life.

McGraw took a deep breath, then quickly focused his attention on the business card, took it, and said, “Sir, McGraw will certainly make your will a reality. As for the payment, I wish to report back to you this evening and then receive it.”

Tang Qi was somewhat surprised by McGraw’s reaction, but the appreciation in his eyes deepened at this moment. He stowed away the bag and said, “Agreed!”

After explaining some details, Tang Qi let McGraw get off the carriage, to complete the first assignment their pitiful little organization had received since its inception.

The content of the work was actually quite simple.

They were to lay traps for Tang Qi.

Tang Qi had made up his mind to act against the Samra family, but he hadn’t planned to launch a direct assault. Such a straightforward and violent method is prone to losing some prey and could lead to many unforeseen complications. If he ended up dragging in the officials or other organizations, it wouldn’t be what Tang Qi wanted.

Therefore, he had chosen the Harria Sisters as the entrance to the trap.

Have a group of young beggars act, and then let the inexperienced twin sisters discover among the stack of old newspapers, one that had been carrying a “Missing Person Notice” for a long time.

The content was about a young rich second generation, who, out of gratitude for his old butler’s dedication, searched for the butler’s estranged relatives, to hand over the butler’s remains and belongings after his death, and also to bestow a large sum of money.

This “Missing Person Notice” was naturally fake, and so were the old newspapers. Such false news would easily deceive the Harria Sisters, but obviously not Abu, the ambitious wizard. Whether attracted by the butler’s ashes or by the wealth, Abu would buy a new newspaper to check.

Even though the newspaper that published the Missing Person Notice is much more expensive than regular newspapers, and wealthy second generations habitually post Missing Person Notices on newspapers specifically for nobles, doesn’t that sound normal?

Then coincidentally, Abu would find the same Missing Person Notice in a new newspaper.

“`

At this point, it could be essentially confirmed that the news was true.

Regardless of what Abu originally thought, the family would certainly urge her to quickly make contact with Tang Qi.

What Tang Qi did was both a trap and a test.

He was testing whether the family under Abu’s leadership knew the truth.

If they knew about Old Morgan’s past desire to change souls and his current disappearance, they would definitely realize this was a trap and probably not contact Tang Qi. If they didn’t know, wouldn’t Tang Qi soon receive a phone call, or perhaps directly see a family member show up at his door?

…

After confirming everything was correct, Tang Qi finally returned to the campus, coincidentally during the Monster Records class, where he also encountered Sally, who was in the same class.

Because during the recent period, those hormonally imbalanced youngsters with extremely nasty dispositions had mysteriously taken leave, so Sally’s days could be said to be very comfortable. Going to school on time, going home on time, no one would bother her.

This girl’s wish was exceptionally simple; she only wanted to peacefully complete her studies at Thorny High School.

Then with her efforts, get admitted to Secret Phoenix University and take her mother away from Messer City, which in her view, was a city filled with suffering. And her mother also promised, once she got into university, she wouldn’t interfere too much with her life anymore, like not allowing her to remove her glasses, forbidding her to make friends, forbidding her to dress up…

Tang Qi knew the “ins and outs,” but he also couldn’t speak out about it.

Regarding the handling of the Misfortune Witch’s secondary personality, Tang Qi temporarily lacked the necessary power.

Even if he wanted to intervene, it wouldn’t be now.

After class, Tang Qi directly said goodbye to Sally and returned to his brick-and-stone small building. He originally wanted to make Extraordinary Bullets, but then he thought that the people from the Ancient Castle Bureau might prefer custom orders, thus Tang Qi dismissed this idea.

Of course, Tang Qi would never descend to the point of boredom.

He didn’t choose the comfortable sofa but instead came to the workbench, still taking out the “Mysterious Hair Tie,” and skillfully entered into the decryption State.

Time, quickly passed by.

In front of the workbench, beautiful young female figures continuously appeared, and then dissipated with a smile of relief on their faces.

This time, Tang Qi spent almost half a day to unravel the hair knot, and the hair tie, which had already shrunk somewhat, was only a third of its original size by evening. Although Tang Qi did not receive any other gifts during the process, the growth in spiritual power was also a nice harvest.

“Buzz~”

Another hair knot slowly unraveled under the guidance of Tang Qi’s Spiritual Power.

Tang Qi looked up out of habit, only to see two beautiful young female figures drifting towards him, one choosing each side of his cheeks, each giving a kiss of greeting, and then two Information Fragments simultaneously flowed into his mind.

[You have acquired a piece of Knowledge!]

[You have learned the Oro Language!]

…

[You have acquired a piece of Knowledge!]

[You have learned Beast Taming!]

“Hm?”

While Tang Qi was subconsciously digesting the Information Fragments, he suddenly saw the name of the second fragment and immediately showed a surprised expression.
