Chapter 1432: Suspicions

As soon as the nine God Rank wizards stepped out, they sensed the frantic Power of the Will from Wizard Coleridge and Wizard Brook.

It was clear the wizards were panicking.

Wizard Smith scanned again and realized Wizard Brook was standing at the entrance of the second floor.

He immediately felt his heart drop. The second floor housed their greatest secret, and all he knew from the red-cloaked wizard was that there was an alert.

However, it should normally be a very secure place with its giant God-Binding Circle!

With a Flash, he directly appeared at the second floor entrance as well.

The other eight God Rank wizards also realized what was happening and their faces sank as they followed.

“Brook, what happened?” Wizard Smith asked quickly.

“Our top treasure was stolen!” Wizard Brook shook his head.

He was expecting the look on Wizard Smith’s face. Indeed, it was a look of disbelief!

“Wasn’t Coleridge guarding the Headquarters? How come he didn’t know that someone had penetrated our defense?” Wizard Smith roared without even realizing Wizard Coleridge was around.

Wizard Coleridge stepped out and said in a curt voice, “Smith, there was a Rank 38 Wizard who lured me away, but I didn’t go far and I immediately came back as soon as I heard the alarm!”

He was not looking good. How could he even explain to their president when such a big thing happened?

“If what you are saying is true, who was that Rank 38 Wizard? Where did he go?” Wizard Smith demanded.

“He lured me away and another person infiltrated the Wizard Union. The energy of that Rank 38 Wizard seemed familiar, but I couldn’t recognize who he was! After I came back to the headquarters, he did not chase after me and disappeared instead!” Wizard Coleridge replied sharply.

Wizard Smith turned and asked, “Brook, did you have any delays either?”

The wizards were all scanning frantically, which meant they hadn’t found anyone, so this question was totally reasonable.

“I came back from the Howling Castle the moment I heard the alarm. There is no delay, so the thief should still be underground!’ Wizard Brook nodded.

They knew very well how the Circle worked. The alarm would be set off the moment their treasure was moved.

Wanting to leave, especially from the God-Binding Circle, was not easy!

After all, they thought of all this when they were constructing the place.

“No need to speculate. It must be Headmaster Abel. He used our negotiation as an opportunity to distract us and sent Thief God Milton over!” Wizard Coleridge snarled.

Indeed, only Abel’s Thief God Milton had such ability to bypass magical defenses!

Wizard Coleridge sounded extremely confident, but Wizard Smith lowered his voice.

“Indeed, but I am sure that Thief God Milton didn’t sneak into our headquarters!”

“Why?” Wizard Coleridge was a little confused.

As far as he knew, it was totally in Thief God Milton’s ability to penetrate their Magic Circles when a God Rank was not around.

“We saw Thief God Milton when we were negotiating with Headmaster Abel, so he couldn’t have been in our Headquarters at the same time!” Wizard Smith informed him gravely.

After all, the more powerful you get, the more you trust your own eyes, especially a God Rank wizard with perfect calculation.

“Impossible!” Wizard Coleridge muttered.

His Power of the Will was very unstable. He was very confident of his guess, but at the same time Wizard Smith wouldn’t lie.

Wizard Brook turned and said, “Hardy, check the Wizard Union Headquarters’ teleportation record!”

As the manager of the Intelligence Department, Wizard Hardy felt like he could be replaced at any moment. There was nothing he could do other than obey.

Wizard Brook’s intent was clear: they wanted to make sure that there was no way Thief God Milton was involved.

“That Rank 38 Wizard shouldn’t be Abel’s man, because all of his Summons came to the Saint Castle, save for the gods!” Wizard McPhee added.

“Yeah, if he was, why didn’t he come to save Abel last time when Wizard Hawthorn was holding Abel hostage?” Wizard Smith shook his head.

After all, their last negotiations were quite memorable, and they all felt Wizard Hawthorn die.

God Ranks were not gods, they couldn’t resurrect with just a bit of faith!

“Reporting!” Wizard Hardy quickly speeded back with a stack of documents recording their teleportation history.

“Was there any strange energy when the accident occurred?” Wizard McPhee quickly asked.

“Sir, there are four secret Teleportation Circles in the Wizard Union and they have not been activated!” Wizard Hardy bowed.

At this moment the wizards were sure that no one could enter or leave the Wizard Union through a Teleportation Circle, especially considering that they were on high alert.

“If it is not Headmaster Abel’s doing, who could it be?” Wizard Coleridge asked grimly.

He was asking himself as well as the wizards around. There was no way a Rank 38 Wizard could stay secret throughout his wizard journey. Without enough resources, a bottleneck was always imminent!

Not only that, there was another person who was so familiar with the Wizard Union Headquarters internally that he could take the treasure without anyone noticing…

Wizard Smith turned and ordered, “Wizard Hardy, stop all the operations for the Intelligence Department and focus on this!”

Wizard Hardy felt his head hurting. How could he do anything about God Ranks when he couldn’t even do much to a Half-god or even a legend?

“What are you waiting for, quick!’ Wizard Smith yelled.

“Ye, sir!” Wizard Hardy couldn’t help but bow before walking away helplessly.

“We should report to the President about this!” Wizard Coleridge urged solemnly.

None of the wizards were looking good. Considering how much their President cared about that treasure, they would all be punished!

“But we don’t even know where the President is. He didn’t even reply to our last message!” Wizard Smith shook his head.

Although they had a super long-distance Communication Circle from ancient times, it still had many limitations, such as being distorted by Barrier Magic Circles.

Normally the Wizard Union would only contact their president once every ten years, but for the past few decades, their president had not even turned on his Communication Circle!

That was normal for such a powerful wizard, as time had almost no meaning and he would not do something so trivial to distract himself from his training.

“Just keep sending him messages until he replies!” Wizard Coleridge ordered grimly.

When compared to the treasure, the wizards did not even think about the ten thousand holy crystals.

However, there was still a huge mystery. If Abel was not the one responsible, who could it be?

After all, this underground space was totally secret. Only a few Legendary Rank wizards were responsible for checking the God-Binding Circle, as well as replenishing any drained holy crystals.

There were a few Half-gods and God Rank Wizards training in the Wizard Union Headquarters, but they were all focused on their business, so those tasks were not taken care of by them.

Still, with their powerful Magic Circles, no God Rank Wizards had ever worried about the safety of this place.

The God-Binding Circle was made by their president with a dozen Divine Bodies, as well as large amounts of valuable materials and ancient Magic Patterns.

It was known as a God Rank Circle by the Wizard Union, meaning it was powerful even against God Ranks.

Almost none of the Magic Circles in this world had attack abilities on their own. They all needed a professional to operate them.

This was how magic towers worked, but the God-Binding Circle used a special technique to draw on the self-defense abilities of those twelve Divine Bodies for an attack.

When all twelve of their energies converged, it could kill a God Rank in an instant!

That was also why the Wizard Union was so confident about the safety of this place.

If it was not because of the Demon from Beyond or Abel’s speedy growth, those Half-god and God Rank Wizards wouldn’t even need to show themselves to keep this place in operation.
