The next day, the news about Mr. Montero’s death spread like wildfire. Also, the damage that the mansion took went viral. As people speculated on a lot of theories on how that happened, the employees who worked there suddenly forgot what really happened there that day.And that left a lot of questions for the police to answer.Jake just went back to his normal daily routine. He attended meetings, signed papers, and checked the laboratory for any problems. Lyca and Archris were out to look for Kranous. He also asked Mikhael to assign someone to take a closer look at Julia Montero’s movements.He was about to get something for Ms. Hanson when someone knocked on his door. Then it opened, and Sebastian casually went inside. In his hand was a folder. He threw it on Jake’s table and sat on a chair in front of it.“Carla Vallero Drummond. That’s your mother’s name, right?"Sebastian said while checking the tips of his fingernails.Jake sighed and went back to his seat. He then looked at the p

Sebastian, Jonas, Gary, and a lawyer came to the police station. There were still a lot of reporters and soldiers outside, and when Sebastian came out of the car, he was thronged by the reporters. Luckily, the police and the military moved right away and were able to make a way for the CEO of the biggest pharmaceutical company in the country.“Where is he?"He asked Police Captain Cruz, glaring at the officer.“He is at the back. The investigation is still ongoing. We can’t release him right away,” the police captain replied.Sebastian exhaled forcefully and walked past the officer. He proceeded to the back of the building, where temporary prison cells were placed. And there, he saw Jake in one of the cells, sitting on the floor with closed eyes.“And you have the audacity to sleep at times like this, huh?"Sebastian said before kicking the bars that made a loud clunking noise.Jake slowly opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the noise, and there he saw Sebastian, frowning at him

Damascus was a top Eldramorian knight. He was known for his great combat skills and very strong swordsmanship, even at a very young age. He had led a lot of wars and won all of them. He was a superb war general with all the necessary skills. And he was once compared to the seven noble knights of the kingdom.He was also known for his brute strength and strong weapon magic, and people, especially women, loved him so much. He was celebrated, but not until Jake came into their world.Jake was welcomed by a family of ordinary mages, and right away, they discovered that Jake posed great potential. He was able to read magical books easily and perform even complicated spells in a short period of time. And the moment he entered the magic academy, he quickly learned a lot of strong magic spells. And he was compared to Damascus.The news about Jake reached Damascus, and he didn’t like the idea of being compared to an ordinary mage. So, he headed to the academy, and in the middle of the class, h

"Jake..." Damascus called while panting. His mouth was full of blood, and it started to overflow to the ground.“You thought I couldn’t take your life?"Jake asked before walking around and standing in front of the huge man. “Look at you; you look like you're dead now.”Damascus looked at his chest, and his eyes widened when he didn’t see the hole that was there just a while ago. Traces of blood disappeared, but his armor wasn’t really there.He gasped as he looked around his body.“Have you heard of the Eldramorian illusionist?"Jake asked.Damascus looked at him, and despite not having any damage, he could not bring himself up. It was like his knees were stuck or something.“Yeah. He was a very popular mage in Eldramoria, but a very mysterious one. Nobody knew his name or how he died,” Damascus replied. Then he locked his eyes on Jake. “Don’t tell me."“Yeah. That’s what I used just now,” Jake said while looking down at his former friend. “And that’s the same magic I used on you when w

It was already late in the afternoon when Jake and Caroline went back to their mansion. And during that time, Sebastian successfully posted the information on the flash drive from Mikhael. It contained videos of Julia Montero during her trip, call logs, voice recordings, and information telling everyone that her papers were all fake. That immediately had an impact on what she said to the media. The posts about her circulated fast, and the police started questioning her. However, she continued to deny the allegations. “She was really good at acting,” Jake commented, right after he turned off the television in his room. “She could also control people’s minds with her charm. I just hope that Captain Cruz's mind isn’t that weak.”“Can a normal person fight her mind-controlling magic?” Caroline asked. She just finished a glass of red wine. “No. But she can’t do that with a large number of people,” he replied. “And with the strong evidence spread like that, it will be hard for her to den
