Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 665: 213. Deceive mode

Could Noland Lee’s actions tonight bring trouble upon him?

For instance, hostility from the Pangula Family, hatred from Lord Fagen, and enmity from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

Yes.

But Noland Lee believed that as long as his strength improved quickly enough, trouble wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.

As for whether the onlookers gave him positive or negative evaluations, he didn’t even plan to listen. Because he deeply knew that in this world, one’s reputation depended on his overall strength.

When Noland becomes powerful enough in the future, all the events that happened today would naturally become widely circulated legendary stories. There’s no need to listen or correct others’ evaluations of him before becoming strong.

Of course, all this was based on the premise of obeying laws and basic moral principles.

If one had great strength but committed heinous acts, no matter how much people feared and revered him, they wouldn’t give him a positive evaluation.

As for how to remain unharmed in a series of retaliatory events in the present where his strength was insufficient, Noland knew that certain schemes and means were needed.

Noland slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Selena on the terrace, and quietly began the next phase of his plan.

He used “Death Flight” and landed on the balcony where Selena was.

He took the spoils of war left by the Tide Spy after his death from the Magic Pouch and handed them over to Selena along with the Duel Application in his hand. At the same time, he calmly stated:

“I’m honored to have fulfilled the mission, Miss Selena Williams. Following your instructions and the arrest warrant, I have successfully exposed the spy planted by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation next to the Pangula Family’s fifth in line to succeed. With your intelligence as a guide, I conducted intensive investigations, and have identified the housekeeper who is a Tide Spy and the family advisor who secretly conspired with him. I had intended to interrogate those family advisors during the Life and Death Duel, but since they conceded, I will transfer the right to interrogate them to you and the Deep Sea Branch.”

While Noland was saying this, Lord Fagen was in a daze on the nextdoor terrace.

Fagen turned his head stiffly, moving his lips and raising his trembling fingers towards Selena while his eyes filled with disbelief. He even slipped on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

The male servant standing by his side helped Fagen to lean on the railing of the terrace.

“You… you used my love for you…” Fagen was pale and tearful, just like a person betrayed by love.

“Don’t delude yourself, Fagen.” Noland took a few steps, walked around Selena, and stood between the two, blocking Fagen’s view.

He raised his voice to make sure the remaining visitors could hear:

“Miss Selena Williams is the Deputy Dean of the Deep-sea Branch, a Nine Circles Deep Sea Wizard, and pursued by countless people from the Core Circle of the Suman Archipelago to Snow Mountain. You are nothing but a family heir being manipulated by the Tide Spy, not even within the top three successors. There’s no qualification to win Miss Selena’s love. If it weren’t for investigating your dark dealings with the Dread Sail Pirates, Miss Selena wouldn’t have personally risked obtaining firsthand information.”

Noland looked back at Selena behind him.

This lady, like a queen, maintained her dignified and elegant posture.

She gave Noland a glance with an inexplicable fluctuation and then spoke:

“Fagen, fulfill the Life and Death Duel stakes. Transfer the Contract Right of the Demon Spirit Wizard who was supposed to fight in place of the Tide Spy to Jarvis.”

Noland bowed slightly to Selena, everything was said without a word.

Judging from Fagen’s tearful performance, his feelings for Selena were genuine, and he truly believed that she was in love with him.

After Noland revealed Selena’s true intentions for getting close to Fagen, Fagen fell into despair, unable to speak and could only lean on the railing and weep.

When Selena ordered him to hand over the Contract Right, Fagen had no response, just staring blankly into the distance.

At this moment, a change occurred on the terrace where Fagen was.

A figure emerged from the wall of the terrace.

Noland stepped forward, silently moving behind Selena when everyone’s attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of the figure.

Selena’s mouth twitched slightly. She threw a roll of her eyes at Noland, who had subtly moved to her side, from an angle that no one else could detect…

Noland calmly pretended not to see Selena’s little expression.

“Young Master Fagen is exhausted tonight and needs rest.” The figure that appeared on the terrace gave a calm order to the surrounding servants:

“Send the young master to his bedroom, I’ll take over here.”

“Yes, sir.” The male servant bowed and lifted Fagen, who was like a puddle of mud, off the terrace.

No one stopped his command, and Selena remained inactive.

Noland carefully scrutinized the uninvited guest on the terrace, who was the family’s secret guard hiding around Fagen.

This kind of role was usually played by a cousin of the family heir and had formidable fighting strength.

The man before him was no exception.

He was around his forties or fifties, with grey short hair slightly visible under the brim of the black pointy wizard hat.

He wore a dark brown magic robe, with no special decorations, and looked very simple.

Information fed back from Deconstruction told Noland that this was an Eighth Circle Combat Wizard. Theoretically, he already had the ability to kill Noland instantly.
