Chapter 123 - Edward, Who Had Narrowly Escaped Death

When he thought of Mrs. Eisen, Edward felt the blood flow in his body speed up, and his heart was burning with passion.

Just as Edward began to fantasize, the voice on the other end of the phone rang again, interrupting his fantasy at the right time and bringing him to reality.

"I don't know how the other three are doing, but they're all missing anyway."

When his superior mentioned these three people, three figures flashed through Edward's mind.

They were the three strongest mages from the three Black Hawk Squads who fought against Flanders.

And now, none of them survived.

Although Edward did not know how Flanders could determine whether the outside world was a Domain or not.

However, Edward still remembered the situation when Flanders had thrown the three mages out.

Edward knew what that situation was. He was using the three mages from the Black Hawk Squad to test the safety of the outside world.

According to Edward's Guess, Flanders must have some method to confirm the survival of the mages outside.

To determine if the outside was safe.

Thinking back to reality, Edward hurriedly said to the person on the other side of the phone,

"Hello, branch head, this is Edward! I... I know what killed the Black Hawk Squad."

Edward's weak voice came from the phone.

"What? Edward, you're still alive? This is great!"

On the other side of the phone, Jerry, the head of the Mage Association's Investigation Department, was stunned at first. Then, he looked at the phone and exclaimed in surprise, "wait... What did you say just now?"

Before Jerry could be happy for long, he suddenly realized that what Edward said just now was not right.

"Do you know who killed the Black Hawk Squad?"

Jerry was almost 40 today. He was a mature and experienced mage.

He had been a mage for twenty years.

Two years ago, he had successfully subdued the second strange creature. Moreover, it had been signed in the form of a master-servant contract. His strength had risen to the C rank.

Due to his own strength, his own ability, and the combination of his strange creature, he had been promoted to the head of the investigation department.

This position was also very famous in the Mage Association because it was the only position in the entire Mage Association that had already been decided on for the next head.

Therefore, in general, the promotion of the position was a good thing, but it was a little awkward to be assigned to this position.

However, Jerry was almost 40 years old and already had a family, so he decided to be open about a lot of things.

Moreover, Durham was not something that small cities like Sarcos City and Nord City could compare to.

As a large city, it was located in the headquarters of the Mage Association.

And a branch head of the headquarters, even if he only sat for a few years before retiring, or transferred to another position, it would still be a very interesting resume.

Not to mention, if he was transferred from his current position, no one would gossip about him.

To get back to the main topic, as a branch head, a position with real power, Jerry's colleague who had a lot of power also had to bear a heavier burden.

There was a saying in the Mage Association that the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility.

So, at four o'clock in the morning this morning, Jerry was woken up by a phone call.

"Hello? What happened?"

Jerry got out of bed as fast as he could, and at the same time, he regained consciousness in a very short period of time.

His thoughts became clear in an instant. He had to listen to every word that was said on the phone and remember everything.

Because he knew that something big must have happened to call at this time.

"Chief, something big has happened!"

His secretary's voice came from the other end of the phone.

As expected, this first sentence gave Jerry a bad feeling.

Jerry pinched the space between his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, "you've been with me for four years, right? Why are you still so rash!"

Although he said so, Jerry knew that his secretary's ability, a secretary who had been working for four years, how could he not have this little bit of professional ability.

To be able to make his secretary lose his composure like this, it must be something incredible!

Therefore, Jerry said that on the one hand to calm his secretary down, and on the other hand to remind himself not to panic and stay calm.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so flustered?"

Hearing Jerry's calm voice, the secretary took a deep breath and calmed down. Then, he said, "it's like this, branch head, the members of the Black Hawk Squad are dead, and nine of them died at once!"

"The Black Hawk Squad! What you said is not the same as the Black Shadow Squad that I know, right?"

Hearing the secretary's report, Jerry was quick-witted and stood up abruptly.

The Black Hawk Squad was an elite team formed by Heim, and their strength was not just for show.

Although the strongest in the team had not even reached C rank, as a team, an elite team with great coordination, the strength they displayed when they worked together was far beyond one's imagination.

The level was not absolute, and it was not like there were no C rank mages who had died at the hands of this elite team.

"Branch head, it's the Black Hawk Squad of the Heim Magic Association. The identities of the nine bodies have been confirmed, and they are completely consistent with the records."

"So the Black Hawk Squad did not just lose this time, they also lost nine people at the same time. What kind of enemy did they encounter?"

As the enemy of the Black Hawk Squad, Jerry had fought with the Black Hawk Squadseveral times, but he failed to take them down every time. Naturally, he knew how difficult this team was.

But on one hand, he was curious about what kind of existence had caused such a great loss to the Black Hawk Squad.

On the other hand, Jerry also felt very relieved. He was happy that such a scourge could be killed and eliminated.

As a slightly famous team in the circle, the Black Hawk Squad was infamous.

In just the past year alone, they had caused a lot of damage, not to mention the loss of casualties.

Especially the leader of the Black Hawk squad, number 1.

This person held two strange creatures in his hands. Although he was only a D+ rank, his methods were superb!

Even Jerry, in a head-on one-on-one battle, could only win, but could not capture the other party.

This was partly because Jerry was not good at fighting, but also because number 1 had some tricks up his sleeves.

Over time, during this period, they had carried out a few effective capture operations, but each time, they did not gain anything.

Gradually, the Black Hawk Squad became a major threat to their Investigation Department.

They were also ranked in the top five on the wanted list of the entire Mage Association.
