Chapter 278: Fattened up System
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Benjamin did not stop by for long at the mage’s freemasonry. It was about a little past half an hour before he left the quiet library-structured-building to head home.
While on his way, he kept thinking about Tony’s last words to him.
"Did I accidentally offend that tycoon mage?" He whined.
"You humans are just too plicated, I can never prehend." The System casually remarked, "but those who are rich are always weird. Perhaps he just saw you as an eyesore, you don’t have to take it to heart."
Benjamin shook his head.
Whatever.... What was the point of saying this to System anyway?
It was better to figure it out himself.
Before he left the mages’ gathering, mage Vinci was indeed looking for him and spoke with a sting in his words, which made Benjamin paranoid. He even had the mages keep watch at night on a rotational basis. However these days, everything was peaceful and no one came to bother them. That is why he thought that mage Vinci would not bear that much hatred towards him.
Obviously now, he was wrong.
If it weren’t the fact that he rescued Tony’s life by fate, he probably wouldn’t have known that someone stabbed him in the back. What did he mean by people having to watch their backs from him?
Benjamin felt that he was pretty friendly. He even explained about him being on a wanted list. Why was he made to look like an arch nemesis, secretly devising his own devious scheme and others were to watch their back?
All he wanted to do was eliminate the Church, which was also beneficial to mages alike.
Benjamin scratched his brain and could not quite figure out Mage Vinci. But since he was already poked from behind, he should return the favour.
After giving much thought, he changed his course of direction to head to the Mercenary Association.
He wanted to collect some data on Mage Vinci. From a mage’s perspective, he did not see a point to Mage Vinci’s hostility but if it was some special connection or purpose behind this rich fella, it would make a hell lot of sense.
Ultimately, it boiled down to knowing your enemy and thyself.
He disguised himself in a remote alleyway before entering the Mercenary Association to post a task to dig some dirt on him. It could be some dirty tactics he used in his business dealings or any peculiar rumours. Anything that was about Mage Vinci negatively, he was all ears.
Surely there would be some blot on everyone’s favourite magic potion tycoon.
In the mix of numerous rumours, of one that may seem absurd, could be an actual clue.
After posting the toast, he quietly made a move home.
There could be people watching them. It was better they stay low in the days to e.
He decided to meditate in seclusion for the time being.
He sat in his room and meditated until he finally filled up the little bubble in his space of consciousness. He poked the bubble with anticipation, and the water elements turned into drizzles of rain, showering the entire space.
He opened up his arms under the rain and felt his quickened growth of his Spiritual Energy that left him with a sense of utmost satisfaction.
Even the System was jumping around the rain excitingly like a big yellow ball.
But...
"Don’t you think that it was bigger than the first, this time around?" At the end of the water element rain, Benjamin suddenly frowned as he looked on at that fidgety ical face.
The System halted and innocently responded, "Oh, really?"
Benjamin went over and scooped the System. He flipped the System left and right in his hands. That’s right, the System has evolved again. After the "birth
