Magician Online

Chapter 35: Unexpected Event

\'Good thing those problems were solved quickly,\' he thought.

He then jumped onto the road, continuing his steps with his clone following far behind in a stealthy manner.

Before long, he arrived at the small forest where the Queen Bee resided.

The queen seemed to sense his presence, so she came over to him.

"Master, why have you come?" She asked with a soft voice and a puzzled expression.

Aldric did not answer immediately. He first observed the forest of his life.

It had apparently become larger than the last time he had seen it.

Although the growth of the forest was only a little, it could be considered very fast. After all, a day hadn\'t even passed.

His gaze then fell on the small forest.

The prince\'s destination was this forest, Aldric wondered where the object he was looking for was hidden.

"By the way, there might be a big conflict here later. When that happens, bring your colony to attack all the enemies," Aldric said to the Queen Bee.

As long as there was no Senior Magician here, the power of the bee colony would be of great help to her as even a 10th Stage Junior Magician would have a hard time facing them.

The Queen Bee seemed even more unsure of what was happening.

She nodded to him in response, not asking too many questions.

After that, Aldric climbed up to a fairly tall and dense tree, hiding in the treetops.

There, he contacted Jenny by calling her directly through the Game System. Of course, it couldn\'t only be used to send messages.

"Jenny," he said when his call was received.

"Are you at the location yet?" Jenny didn\'t ask why he was calling her, instead she questioned his current state.

Surprisingly her tone sounded very serious.

"Yes, I\'m now waiting for the prince. Speaking of the other three groups, do you know their current conditions?" Aldric answered and asked.

"Honestly, I didn\'t know much before, but I\'ve been doing some investigating recently. And this makes me think that you should not get involved in targeting the prince," the woman replied.

"What? Why?" Aldric had not expected to hear that from her.

Wasn\'t she the one who asked him to do it? Why was she now advising him not to get involved?

"First, I want to tell you, there are only two groups left, one has been eliminated," Jenny replied in a surprising tone.

"What happened to them?" Aldric became somewhat wary as one group being eliminated might indicate that they fell either because of the prince or because of the other group.

The problem now was that Jenny was not suggesting he get involved again, meaning there was a very serious problem indeed.

"The other two groups have teamed up, taking down one group," Jenny replied.

"How can they cooperate, don\'t they both want the method to form the Genesis Core of the prince? Who will get it if they cooperate?"

"Hahaha, perhaps this can\'t be considered cooperation either. It\'s more accurate to say that one of them surrendered to the other and then worked for them." Jenny explained, further surprising Aldric.

"This involves the real world, the group that surrendered actually belongs to a professional gamer from a fairly wealthy family, but guess who the group leader was that made him surrender?"

"Who?" Aldric couldn\'t help but ask, affected by Jenny\'s way of speaking.

"He\'s an old man who\'s no longer able to walk in the real world, and he\'s the one who wanted to form the Genesis Core using that prince\'s methods."

"What?" Aldric instantly showed an expression like he couldn\'t believe what he was hearing.

The problem was that the person was an old man. Even he could no longer walk.

It was shocking that he played this game and made a professional gamer surrender to him even though that gamer was the son of a rich man.

However, considering that this involved the real world, the identity of the old man should not be unusual.

"Who is that old man?" asked Aldric.

"I\'ll tell you, but don\'t ask me why he\'s so serious about this game because I don\'t know either," Jenny replied.

"In London, he\'s very influential. His name is Ramsey Dortmund, owner of almost all the alcoholic beverage industry in the UK as well as the largest shareholder of MU. He\'s the third richest man in the UK right now, maybe even richer considering he owns many illegal casino businesses in developing countries. One of his grandsons is obsessed with my beauty. If it wasn\'t for me being good friends with Snow_Goose, I would\'ve become a toy without being able to fight back. I say this also as a reminder to you to reconsider my advice. Don\'t worry too much, there are still many methods to form the Genesis Core."

Jenny paused to take a deep breath before continuing, "the point is, the Dortmund Family is very powerful. That old man can naturally easily make a professional gamer obey him. If you go against him and your identity is revealed, I\'m afraid your life in the real world will become miserable because this old man really mixes up life in this game with life in the real world."

Aldric\'s expression that was originally still a mixture of confused and serious finally became completely serious.

Just because he was often clueless about urban life, this did not mean he did not understand the danger of someone with great wealth and influence.

Such people were dangerous and rumors about them even spread to the village.

In fact, the villagers preferred to talk about things related to them, such as conspiracy theories and such.

Of course, what was most puzzling was why someone at the level of Ramsey Dortmund playing games would resort to such means.

"Jenny, you never suffered at the hands of that old man\'s grandson, did you?" Aldric was at a loss for what else to say, so he asked about the woman\'s condition.

As her old friend, he naturally had concerns for her, especially since she treated him well.

"Why are you asking about that? Fool, of course I\'m fine. I\'m still pure until now. They wouldn\'t dare oppress me," the woman replied, raising her voice suddenly.
