Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 129 - 129: That woman and the trio

Francesca issued orders to the three extraordinary individuals accompanying her, instructing them to investigate the rooftop and cryptically mentioning an uninvited presence in the shadows.

"You three, on the rooftop." Francesca's voice commanded authority as she pointed towards the warehouse roof. "

In a hurry, he thought that he had lost them, but the girl, who had very keen senses, quickly caught up to him.

Jaegar sensed her presence before long and decided to lose her.

He expertly navigated through the crowded streets, making his way to the city square, where people thronged. There, he suddenly darted into a narrow alley, leaving the pursuing girl momentarily confused.

In the blink of an eye, Jaegar conjured a portal to his home and slipped inside, swiftly sealing it shut behind him.

The girl, reacting to the distinctive energy signature of the portal, hurried toward the narrow alley but found nothing – no sign of Jaegar.

Only the lingering residue of magical energy hung in the air as evidence of his recent presence.

Frustrated but determined, she retraced her steps back to the warehouses, where she saw the two men standing with Francesca.

A little away from them were two of her companions. She made her way toward them.

Seeing her, one of them asked, "Where you been, Miran?"

Her eyes held a mix of apprehension and intrigue as she recounted her brief encounter. "I saw him, Sandar," she admitted, "just a glimpse, but I could tell he's young."

Vondell, standing beside Sandar, sheathed his sword, pondering the implications. "Perhaps he's like us," he mused.

Sander added, "You should inform Ms. Ravenswood about this."

Miran, the girl, rolled her eyes with a sigh. "Yeah, I will, as soon as those creeps are gone."

Sander acknowledged the unfortunate reality. "She had to deal with their bullshit every time something like this happened."

Vondell concurred, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"Why don't we just kill them?" Sander asked, seeing those two men.

No, and Ms. Ravenswood wouldn't like that," Vondell said.

"Yeah, probably. But with the monster and the person who killed it, I think we are getting somewhere after all this time." Sander added.

Miran sighed and responded, "Who knows if this is the last or will there be more?"

Francesca, who had finished with the two men, walked towards the trio.

"Did you find anything?"

Miran replied, "I think I saw his face."

"Good, we will get a sketch of him and try to search for him. And if we can find him."

"Now let us get back, I need to go to the lab." She said this as she walked towards the car.

The three of them walked towards a truck that was parked at the end of the alley and got in.

Then all of them left the place.

After everyone left the place, a team of men came and took the monster's corpse, clearing the place.
