Chapter 161: Team Leader

At the exact moment, a crimson ball of fire came out of Charles's forehead area and formed into a mask-like appearance.

Then, his wrinkled skin also started to shrink and appeared more like a smooth one.

"Change into a bracelet," Charles ordered the Holem's Crown and then zeroed his gaze on Emilia.

'She ranked up!' Charles was amazed. He was well aware that she had reached a bottleneck for the past ten years and hadn't improved a single bit!

But here she was.

'Could it be because of my influence with the Fate?' A frown appeared on his face as he caught the bracelet and wore it.

At that moment, Emilia calmly stood at the entrance and seemed to be waiting for the killers.

Charles pondered for a moment and soon sighed.

In truth, he didn't want to meet her here at all.

But he wants to know why she was here.

He had a vague feeling that her presence here might have related to these strange coincidences!

Letting out a deep sigh, he kicked the glass window with full force and jumped down while flapping the wings twice.

The next instant, his body descended with a whooshing noise and soon appeared behind Emilia.

At that moment, Emilia also turned around, zeroed her gaze towards the crimson masked figure, and frowned.

"Who are you?" She waved her hand, causing a strange invisible ripple to appear in the surrounding air, and asked coldly.

"It's been a while, Team Leader." His original, young and energetic voice came out behind the crimson mask.

The next moment, Emilia's body trembled for a moment, and soon she blurted out in shock.

"Charles?"

On the other hand, Charles touched his crimson mask and made it dissolve into the air.

In a second, Emilia saw a matured version of Charles appeared in front of her eyes.

His oval face appeared rougher, and his dark-blue hair remained longer than usual. Although his height remained the same, his body got some muscles, and he seemed more like a young adult than a kid.

Upon seeing his appearance, her expression turned gloomy.

"How did you lose your lifespan in such a short time?" She sized his up and down and asked.

At that moment, a smile appeared on Charles's face.

"It's the price I paid to injure Red Prince's and stall his growth." He responded with a mysterious smile on his face.

"So, it really was you who caused such big ruckus in Chester City." Emilia got stunned for a moment before realizing that Charles did indeed caused a great commotion before he joined the Withering Shadows department.

Before he could give an affirmative nod, she waved her hand, arrived in front of him, and patted on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Charles. If I hadn't overestimated my abilities, we might have saved your mother."

Her tone was filled with helplessness and guilt.

Upon hearing her words, Charles wore a bitter smile and shook his head.

"Red Prince is far stronger than we thought he would be, Team Leader. You already helped me a lot during that incident."

Meanwhile, Emilia retracted her hands and nodded her head.

"How is Andrew?" At that moment, Charles noticed that she came alone to this city and asked in puzzlement.

"He is in the Royal Capital of Iron now." She suddenly paused for a moment and soon added.

"Don't go to the Moon Kingdom for the time being. The mages already put a bounty of 50,000 gold coins on your head and are searching for you everywhere."

"Only 50,000 gold coins?" Charles tilted his head in puzzlement.

He knew that the Tower Masters must have already learned about his [Amber Curse] and thought that they would dispatch a squad of Rank-3 mages after his head.

'Not only did I turn millions of gold coins into ashes, but I also caused great chaos and lured a devil into their home. If I were in their shoes, I would have put a bounty of more than one hundred thousand gold coins.'

While he was in muse, Emilia shook her head and spoke in a grave tone.

"That's because it's just a formality. I heard a rumor that Destiny Lady already left the Tower of Elements and seemed to be searching for you. It won't be long before she catches up to you."

"She is personally coming for my head?" Charles subconsciously thought of the last message he gave to her and chuckled inwardly.

Then, he looked at the surroundings and soon asked.

"Do you know something about this abnormal coincidence, Team Leader?"

Emilia's expression froze for a moment before she shook her head and said in a grave tone.

"Don't try to search for answers about these strange coincidences. The more you try to learn about it, the more you will face problems. Stay out of this one."

'Stay out of this one... It seems she knew more about this coincidence but unwilling to tell about it...' Charles went silent for a moment and nodded his head.

In truth, he was also planning to go somewhere safer and stay out of trouble for the time being anyway.

'I will face it when the time comes.' He thought inwardly and spoke.

"Then, I will be on my way, Team Leader."

On the other hand, Emilia wore a surprised expression on her face and asked.

"You are leaving so soon? Aren't you here to help me?"

"I think you don't need anyone's help at all." Charles shook his head and soon noticed a group of seven hooded figures was running towards them from the main street road.

In seconds, they arrived near the Inn's entrance and stopped as they saw two winged humans!

At that moment, Emilia curled her lips upward, raised her hand, pointed her finger towards a random guy, and spoke.

"Kill yourself."

The next instant, the black-hooded man instantly unsheathed his short sword and directly plunged it into his heart!

A moment later, the hood on his head was removed on its own and revealed a silver-haired man in his late twenties.

His face was filled with shock and panic!

He let out a grunting sound while touching the plunged sword and soon collapsed on the ground.

His body then twitched for a few seconds and went motionless.

"Impressive." That was the only word that came out of Charles's mouth as he saw her fighting style.

"Do you want to come back to the organization now?" Emilia wore an amused expression on her face and asked.

"Nope. I want to be a free bird." Saying so, Charles cast [False Blink] spell and disappeared from there.

The next instant, he appeared in front of another hooded man, gripped his neck, and cast [Fire Seed] spell on him.

"I will take him." He spoke calmly and flapped his red wings forcefully.

Before Emilia could answer, he shot up towards the sky and attracted everyone's attention.

At that moment, the [Fire Seed] inside the hooded man's Inner World devoured a bunch of memories and sent pieces of information into his mind.

"Divine Order member?" Charles became stunned.

Simultaneously, the chain quest notification popped up in front of his eyes and reminded him about the double exp.

'These guys are sent here by the Divine Order Organization to create panic and fear among the citizens... One of their main hideouts is located deep in the Curse Woods... A total of eleven official Divine order members hiding there, and each of their strength should be above Rank-3. This information is from this guy's perspective... Not only that, but he also heard that there seem to be more than six similar main hideouts in this kingdom. All of them also appear to be focusing on creating mass panic...' As he skimmed through the information, Charles suddenly made a U-turn in the sky and flew towards a particular direction.

That's where the Curse Woods was located!

Charles rose above 500 meters high and looked at the chaotic city from the sky. Then, he flapped his wings and soon crossed the defensive wall. After that, he maintained the altitude and continued to fly.

After an hour of travel, Charles saw trees appeared from time to time and soon turned into dense woods.

Charles then suddenly flapped the wings towards the front to maintain balance and rose towards the sky.

Unlike before, he continued to rise higher and higher and soon reached the height of 2,000 meters high!

Although he felt a slight pressure to breathe, he didn't put much thought into it and zeroed his gaze below.

Flapping his red wings continuously, Charles scanned for anything anomaly in the woods and soon noticed a small outpost near a tall mountain range.

That mountain range was a border region between the Iron Kingdom and the Herald Kingdom!

Nodding his head, Charles glanced at the shivering hooded man's face and tossed him aside.

The next instant, he opened his red wings wide, focused his gaze on the particular outpost, and flew towards the area like a bullet.

The reddish feathers tore through the air while causing whooshing sounds and released sparks continuously as he moved.
