Chapter 515 - Crisis Incoming

Chapter 515: Crisis Incoming

The Witch Society consisted only witches, while the Sorcerer Society had both witches and wizards.
The average combat power of the Witch Society was clearly higher.
Nevertheless, the Sorcerer Society had many members, so they were not weak either.
Charlotte walked into the HQ. Not many people were inside.
There were no more than twenty people, including those from the Sorcerer Society.
When everyone saw Charlotte, an old witch who could hardly keep her back straight pushed her glasses up.
“Charlotte, here you are.”
“Mage.”
The Mage referred to the leader of the Witch Society, not how powerful a witch was.
Nonetheless, given that she could become the leader, the old witch was certainly very powerful.
“Charlotte, you must have seen them before. They’re the most outstanding young witches in the clan.”
A golden-haired man from the Sorcerer Society approached Charlotte and extended his hand gentlemanly, attempting to hold Charlotte’s hand. “Hi, Ms. Charlotte, nice to meet you. I’m Jerome Yemen.”
“Hi,” Charlotte replied perfunctorily, not planning to continue the conversation.
Jerome Yemen’s lips twitched, but he returned to normal immediately.
“Mage, could you please tell me what’s happening?”
“Addleway from the Evil Spirit Society died.”
“You mean the eternal son of the Evil Spirit Society’s leader?”
“Yup, he’s the one. He died in Omens Hotel.”
“Our people did it?” Charlotte asked.
“No, we have no idea who killed him, but he’s dead now. The Evil Spirit Society’s leader is totally enraged, lost all control of himself. He’s going to kill everyone in Omens Hotel.”
Charlotte opened her mouth in astonishment. “Is he mad? He knows that if he does that, the government will launch an insane revenge plan, right?”
The government always knew of the existence of the Evil Spirit Society, the Witch Society, and the Sorcerer Society. There were even connections between the government and the three parties.
In any era, the power of the government was always the strongest.
The three clans had actually been walking on the edge of tolerance. If the Evil Spirit Society really slaughtered the hundreds of people in Omens Hotel, it would be an absolute provocation to the government.
In the past, the three clans had been restraining each other, so the government had averted their eyes.
However, if something like this were to happen, the government would surely take action.
By then, even the Witch Society and the Sorcerer Society might be affected.
Moreover, the two clans had signed some agreements with the government.
For example, they had to ensure the safety of commoners, and supernatural battles must not affect them.
“Yes, he is mad. He’s lost all rationality.”
“Then what should we do?”
“We have no choice but to respond to the war,” the Mage said.
“Can we send someone to negotiate with the leader of the Evil Spirit Society? We’ll find the person who murdered his son and hand the person to him, and he’ll stop the revenge,” Jerome Yemen said.
Everyone stared at him in confusion, including his companions from the Sorcerer Society.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“The reality,” Jerome Yemen said. “If we go to war with the Evil Spirit Society, we’ll definitely suffer a catastrophic loss. The members of the Evil Spirit Society are all dead. They aren’t afraid of dying, but we have neither the resources nor the power to fight with them. The best option is to compromise. If we can find the murderer that killed Addleway, we can stop this war by just sacrificing one person. It’s a great trade.”
The eyes of Galileo, the leader of the Sorcerer Society, glittered. To be honest, he was quite convinced by the plan.
“How about you go and negotiate with the Evil Spirit Society?” Charlotte looked at Jerome Yemen with a smile. “With your eloquence, I’m sure you’ll be able to persuade their leader.”
“I don’t want to face those distorted monsters,” Jerome said.
“Then who do you think we should send?”
“Someone from the Witch Society. You’re more powerful than us. Any one of you will do.”
The Mage glanced at Jerome Yemen, frowning. “Alright. Given his insanity, he’ll never compromise on something that he’s decided. I’ve been fighting with him for a hundred years, and I know him well. If you’re too scared to face the war, you may leave now. The Witch Society will face the Evil Spirit Society alone.”
“Madam, please don’t be angry. We don’t mean that.” Galileo woke up very soon.
He had been fighting with the Evil Spirit Society for quite a long while as well. He knew what kind of ugly monster the Grandfather of the Evil Spirit Society was.
“What we need to do now is to first evacuate the normal people in Omens Hotel. Can’t let them stay there. It’s too dangerous.”
“Who knows the staff in Omens Hotel?” the Mage asked.
Jerome Yemen tidied his hair and said proudly, “I do. Leave that to me. I know nearly all the famous people in New York.”
…
In the medical seminar, there were about a hundred famous doctors and professors from all over America.
Many of them would go up the stage and give a short speech.
It was a seminar organized by an official medical institution, so many people were more like Chen Zhao.
They were only here to travel for free. This was a common sight in many places around the world.
Most people almost dozed off as they listened to the speeches.
Scanning the area, Chen Zhao only saw a few people paying full attention.
One of them was Hill Nandes. He was listening to the talks and taking some notes.
“Boring humans. Isn’t it more meaningful for you to place a corpse on the stage and take turns to dissect it?” Blackie said, extremely bored.
He had followed Chen Zhao here to experience various things, including the seminar.
Chen Zhao had already warned him in advance that the seminar was going to be boring, but Blackie still followed him here.
Indeed, in no time, he began to complain, just like Chen Zhao.
It was totally boring.
Chen Zhao propped his chin with one hand, feeling very sleepy.
“Alright, that’s the end of today’s session. There’s another exchange tomorrow afternoon. See you there,” the organizer said with a microphone.
Chen Zhao stood up at once. He was finally free.
Hill Nandes was already looking for Chen Zhao. When he saw Chen Zhao walking out, he shouted immediately, “Mr. Chen…”
“That human is calling you.”
“Didn’t hear. Didn’t hear,” Chen Zhao muttered to himself.
