Ivan took a few steps closer with bated breath and walked into the living room behind the front desk,

The space inside is very large, with dark blue candles lit all around, and in the center is a black and gray round table, and several figures faintly emerge in the candlelight.

Ivan's eyes scanned around and saw that there were eleven people in the living room! It was a lot more than he had expected.

Bock, who hadn't seen him for a long time, sat on a wide chair with his body bent.

He didn't look much different from a year ago, his greasy hair was neatly combed back of his head, his old face had an unusually kind smile, his eyes were staring directly at the wizards opposite, and his withered and slender left hand was holding the round probing eye like an eyeball and playing with it casually.

From Ivan's point of view, he could also see two dark black rings pinned to Bock's ring and little fingers, glowing with an eerie dark light.

Two wizards dressed in old wizard robes stood behind Bock, and the rest of the group split into two factions to face the blog.

Not long after Ivan entered, he happened to hear a middle-aged wizard opposite Bock speak with an unkind face.

"Mr. Borgin... You've promised us nothing to go by! You're telling us now that the target's life and death are unknown? ”

"Don't say that, Hines!" In the face of the middle-aged wizard's questioning, Bock's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hand to signal the other party to dissipate his anger, and then continued.

"I got the news that Althea had died in the attack, and someone saw a little wizard fleeing with Althea's body in a hurry, which means that our plan was successful..."

"How do we know if what you're saying is true? And your spies saw this, why don't you just bring back that witch's corpse and her baby! Hines sneered.

Hines was very dissatisfied with Bock's statement, and he couldn't see the corpse, who knew if Bock was lying and deceiving himself.

And they sent so many men, and now none of them have come back, and they all died in that magic shop, which is different from what was agreed before!

So after Hines spoke, the rest of the people also denounced together and demanded an explanation from Bock!

Bock, who was sitting on the throne, had a headache, and the fact that all the men sent were wiped out was really beyond his expectations.

Bock thought that he had dealt with Althea for so many years, and he knew her strength level very well, plus the other party was carrying a child with an oil bottle, there should be no chance of surviving in the face of this sudden attack!

So Bock was very relieved, thinking that he would get good news soon, but who would have thought that he had waited for a long time except to see the explosion and fire, and did not wait for anyone to come back.

The news of Althea's death had been heard by his spies from nearby residents, and even the truth had yet to be determined...

What's even more bizarre is that when his people go to the magic shop again, they unexpectedly find that someone has used a recovery spell to repair the damage caused by the previous battle, and the blood stains of the corpses all over the ground have disappeared.

Not far away, the mansion of Aisya's friend Doggett is not known to have been blown up by anyone.

So many strange things happened in a row, which made Bock faintly feel that something was wrong, so he invited Hines and others to discuss what to do next.

However, in the face of the aggressive questioning of Hines and others, Bock's heart was also a little angry, he pulled down his face, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, have you said enough! This time it was indeed a mistake of my judgment, but don't forget that there are also my people who died there! And I warned you a long time ago that it's not a good idea to deal with the owner in a magic shop..."

Hearing Bock's words, the faces of several dark wizards were not good-looking, and it was not easy to refute, three of the ten people sent over were indeed Bock's subordinates, and it was unlikely that Bock would even be a pit for his own people.

What's more, Hines and the others heard the threat in Bock's words, and then remembered that they were sitting in the living room of a dark magic shop now, and no one knew if Bock had any arrangements here.

So even if there are more people on their side, they don't dare to push Bock too much, otherwise they may not be able to win if they really fight!

Seeing that everyone was calming down, Bock cleared his throat and talked about the future arrangement.

Now it's imperative to continue to send more men to find out what happened before, and to confirm if Althea is really dead... Where is her child, Ivan Hals, now wandering away.

The empty magic shop needs to be searched by a few men to see if they can find any useful clues...

Bock and the others, who were discussing, did not know that one of the targets they were looking for was not far away, quietly listening to their conversation.

Ivan, who was hiding in the shadows, listened for a while, and found that the dark wizards in front of him did not seem to be monolithic, but more inclined to a temporary cooperative relationship.

There will even be endless arguments about which side will contribute more, but it's a pity that they don't have the consciousness to fight...

This made Ivan a little disappointed, and he wondered if he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After observing for a while, according to the positions and words of these people, Ivan quickly divided the camp of the eleven wizards.

Needless to say, Bojin and his two subordinates were vaguely divided into two factions, the middle-aged wizard named Hines and several dark wizards with gloomy faces probably belonged to the same camp, and it was very likely that they had escaped the Aurors' attack last year.

The last three were sturdy, and there was a hint of madness in their eyes, a temperament that reminded Ivan of the death of Yad'an at his hands, and the other party was the same when he was furious before he died.

Under Ivan's gaze, one of the leading of them spoke impatiently after arguing with Bock for a while.

"What about what you promised me, Mr. Borgin? You told us before that if we help you get rid of your old rival, you'll get the recipe for the Wolf Poison Elixir! According to you, that woman is mostly dead now, what about things? ”

Bock grinned, his left hand spinning the Eye of Discovery, and said comfortingly.

"Don't be in a hurry, Wright! You should have taken a good look at the newspapers, Aisyah's child, Ivan Hals, was the developer of the wolf poison potion, and now that his mother is dead, there is no one to protect him, and he can't hide in Tumbledown Alley for long alone..."
