The Genius Mage

He was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned around and glared at his two subordinates who had followed him. Then, he berated angrily, “Aren’t they here?”

The two men in black were also shocked by the situation in front of them. Audrey had knocked them unconscious, but why didn’t she escape? Why did she stay here as though nothing had happened?

The two men in black didn’t know how to explain as they stammered, “We…she did knock us unconscious, so we thought that she had escaped.”

Hearing this, the men in black felt furious as they cursed their subordinates for being stupid.

However, Audrey was laughing inwardly. She did not do it to escape but to secretly observe.

The two men in black were at a loss after being scolded. They could only look at Audrey and said indignantly and aggrievedly, “You were the one who drugged us. Why didn’t you escape?”

“Who told you that I wanted to escape? I was trying the medicine in my pocket.” Audrey chuckled nonchalantly. Her teasing tone seemed to be mocking the two men’s stupidity.

This time, the two men in black were utterly speechless. The marshal was even more furious. “You two trash, get out!”

The two did not dare to delay any further as they left the basement.

At this moment, the marshal looked at Audrey with a gloomy gaze. There was also a sinister smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. “Miss Audrey, I advise you not to play any tricks. Let’s forget about today’s matter. If it happens again in the future, you will all suffer.”

Although today’s incident had caused a blunder because of the stupidity of his subordinates, the marshal was still smart. He knew that Audrey was the one who had caused this incident.

“How would I dare? My teammates and I are in your hands. So, naturally, we won’t play any tricks,” Audrey sneered and said matter-of-factly.

“That’s for the best,” the marshal snorted coldly and left.

Audrey also heaved a sigh of relief. Following that, a few of her teammates surrounded her and asked what had happened to Audrey.

They stayed in the basement and knew nothing about what had happened outside.

Audrey chuckled and told them about what had happened between her and the two men in black.

“Then, since you didn’t escape, why did you stun them?” Klein asked in confusion. He did not quite understand what Audrey meant.

When he said this, Audrey’s expression turned serious. Then, she told the few of them what she had heard at the entrance of the laboratory.

“How despicable. He used you like this,” Cole said indignantly. “From now on, you can’t help him refine anymore. If you want to kill or flay him, we’ll do it.”

Cole did not know that Audrey had tampered with the potion. He only knew that Audrey had helped the marshal refine the potion to ensure their safety.

“Don’t worry. The potion I refined for him isn’t the right one. Even if he uses it, he won’t have a good ending.” Audrey could not help but laugh. As she spoke, a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, Cole instantly reacted. He looked at Audrey with admiration and said, “You’re the smart one. I knew that you wouldn’t compromise so easily.”

“So, what exactly do they want to do?” Morris thought for a long time, but he still could not figure out the marshal’s ultimate goal.

Audrey fell into deep thought. Until now, she still did not know what the last potion the marshal mentioned was. She was afraid that she would not be able to find the answer here. Perhaps she could find some records when she returned to Spark City.

“I’m not sure either, but I think it has something to do with controlling Spark City. We should be more careful,” Audrey replied after a long while with a sigh.

“Yes, be careful,” Hobart immediately agreed.

In the following days, Audrey was brought to the laboratory by the marshal from time to time to make potions. Audrey followed his instructions, but she would do something challenging for them to notice every time she made a potion.

After making a few potions, Audrey gradually understood what the marshal was doing.

Everything he studied was nothing more than how to control wild beasts or how to improve his strength. If this continued, the wild beasts would always listen to him and become his most powerful weapon.

Audrey seemed to understand a lot at once, and she also realized the seriousness of the matter.

If the commander-in-chief’s research was successful, all the wild beasts would attack Spark City. Unfortunately, at that time, Spark City would not be able to be saved no matter what.

Therefore, the best way was to destroy this place before the Carol Association’s goal was achieved.

After coming out of the laboratory, Audrey had already begun planning to destroy the laboratory. She returned to the basement as though she was deep in thought, her expression calm.

“What’s wrong? Did he make things difficult for you today?” Morris immediately went forward to ask when he saw Audrey.

Audrey shook her head indifferently, her black brows slightly furrowed. “They want to control all the wild beasts and use them to fight. The laboratory is the source of their evil. I want to destroy this place.”
