Chapter 397: Chapter 390: Luo’er’s Anger

This time, Luo’er intended to confront and clarify what the Church Court really wanted, and whether Dulens was still willing to cooperate with the headquarters.

The two failures made Luo’er realize that relying solely on the power of the Advance Team was not enough to apprehend Fu’en. This man seemed to play in both bright and dark ways, they could not seize him in his territory with barely more than ten people from the Advance Team alone.

The best way to capture Fu’en was to rely on the Church Court, no matter how they did it. Since they had made a promise, they should fulfill it sincerely.

Luo’er believed that at present, the Church Court’s dependence on the headquarters should outweigh the headquarters’ dependence on the Church Court. Ever since the last Forbidden Curse incident, the Church Court had become the target of Earth’s populace. Under the influence of public opinion, most Earth people demanded that the Earth’s military take action against the Church Court in revenge for the loss of more than a hundred thousand lives.

The carriage bumped along, crossing the bridge in the Uptown District without any real danger. The soldiers guarding the bridge were suspicious of the carriage, but without orders from their superiors, they dared not investigate a carriage from the Academy and had to let it leave.

This time, the carriage didn’t just stop within the academy. At Luo’er’s urging, the carriage headed directly for the teacher’s accommodation area.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a group of people quickly got off with Xuzhong Qi and Wu Tairan, rushing towards the dormitory.

"Quick, the painkiller!"

The group placed the two of them on separate beds and began to strip them of their clothes and armor. Baiyue drew a tube of painkiller with a syringe and handed it to Luo’er.

"No allergic reactions, right?" Luo’er asked, turning his head.

"No, it can be used!" Murong shook his head and replied.

"Good, Yue’er, Moumou, prepare for surgery. Jiu’er, stop standing there, come help!" Seeing Shangguan Jiu standing dumbfounded by the door, Luo’er urged loudly.

"What... what should I do?" Shangguan Jiu ran to them and stuttered.

"Get ready for surgery to remove the bullets. Yue’er, you lead. You two, be ready to cast healing magic to control the damage!" Luo’er ordered after giving Xuzhong Qi a shot.

Baiyue had already put on a mask and disposable rubber gloves, and began to tear open the sterile bag to take out the scalpel. Since Luo’er’s last injury, the Headquarters provided the Advance Team with emergency surgical tools to allow them to perform surgery on time and avoid undue delays like Luo’er had experienced.

"How is Wu Tairan doing?" Luo’er asked loudly after moving aside.

"It’s okay, I’ve stitched up his wounds, we can handle it!" Murong responded loudly.

He, Hu Daoke, and Zhuanzhu were treating Wu Tairan’s injuries. After giving him a shot of painkiller, Murong began to stitch his wound, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Murong, be gentle," Wu Tairan exclaimed in pain.

"Alright, I can see. You two, hold him down, don’t let him move!" Murong instructed Hu Daoke and Zhuanzhu.

"Um... can I help?" Zhenli who was hiding outside the door ran in, her big eyes looking at Luo’er as she asked timidly.

"Go hold the light!" Luo’er waved his hand.

"Got it!" Zhenli nodded, ran to Xuzhong Qi’s side, and began to help the girls hold the light. It was her first time seeing so much blood that she almost threw up.

Seeing everyone busy, Luo’er felt an unusual weight on his shoulders. After letting out a sigh, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands briefly, removing all the blood stains on them.

Then he washed his face with water, cleaning all the blood stains and grease on his face. After a quick pat dry, he suddenly felt much more spirited, his mind no longer as chaotic as before.

"Ah, I’m so envious of Old Xu, surrounded by all those girls, while I am stuck with a bunch of men," Wu Tairan sighed in relief after his wounds were treated, he couldn’t help but remark as he watched the ongoing surgery in the distance.

"You are still making jokes right now!" After giving him a disdainful glance, Murong turned and left to help out.

"Ah, your thinking has been sewn up already. In a while, you will be able to think straight again." Having seen Wu Tairan stabilize, Hu Daoke breathed a sigh of relief. He then began to tease Wu Tairan humorously.

"You’re too much," Wu Tairan grimaced, although his face still looked quite bad, he was laughed by Hu Daoke’s remarks, "I have only been shot in the thigh, and you make it sound like I am going to be eunuch."

"Next time be smart and duck when you have to. Look at me, I’ve been in the Otherworld for over a year without getting shot." Hu Daoke patted his chest as he spoke.

Wu Tairan glanced at him, complainingly said, "Why is it that with your massive physique you were not shot, yet I happened to get shot in the thigh. Have these guys been playing too much explosive egg elite?"

At this time, Luo’er did not join their conversation. After washing his face, his expression quickly became icy again. Upon exiting the bathroom, he did not join his team in the rescue efforts, but left the room alone, heading for the Dean’s office.

By this time, it was already around eight or nine o’clock at night. Although the academy was well lit, people here were not in the habit of studying late in the evening, so both teachers and students had gone back to their dormitories.

The door to the Dean’s office was not closed at this time, and the room was filled with soft magic lamplights. Only the Magic Academy dared to use such a large amount of magic lamps extravagantly, while the ordinary nobles were quite frugal when it came to this.

Shariya seemed to realise that Luo’er was coming to see him, so instead of closing the office, he kept the door open and waited for him to enter.

Luo’er entered the room with a stern expression on his face, this was the first time Shariya had seen Luo’er with such an expression. Even though he was an experienced man, he couldn’t help but swallow, feeling a bit nervous.

"Dean Shariya, you heard about the gunfight in the eastern district, didn’t you?" Luo’er asked coldly, with his head lowered.

"I know," Shariya nodded and said, "The Kingdom’s army has already set out to arrest suspects. It’s good that you guys managed to escape quickly."

"We had two seriously injured, and Fu’en managed to escape in the chaos." As Luo’er said this, Shariya could hear the anger in his tone.

"I am truly sorry. This should have been our responsibility, but ..." Shariya said hesitantly.

"I do not need your apology. I know you did your best, but ..." Having said that, Luo’er took a few steps forward, placed a list on Shariya’s desk, and said coldly, "Please inform Bishop Dulens, I request him to uphold the Church Court’s promise to Headquarters. If he is unwilling, then I will have to report the situation here to Headquarters!"

"This is ...?" Shariya looked at the list on his desk and asked.

"It’s the Hound Gang’s goods transportation list. They smuggled a large amount of magic crystals to the Ancient States by sea," Luo’er explained.

"Do you want the Church Court to handle the Hound Gang as well?" The astute Shariya immediately guess Luo’er’s intentions.

Dulens despised everything about the Ancient States. Therefore, when Luo’er presented this list, even if Dulens was reluctant to assist the Advance Team, this list alone would ensure the Hound Gang were severely punished.

"Yes, I want them to pay for what they have done." After pausing for a moment, Luo’er continued, "Dean Shariya, I respect you greatly, so I am not demanding, but I am asking you. Please inform Bishop Dulens, tell him, we are demanding that he fulfills his obligations!"

"Your demands are to capture Fu’en and then wipe out the Hound Gang?" Shariya calmly took the list and asked after reviewing it.

"No," Luo’er shook his head and said, "The Church Court only needs to tell us Fu’en’s whereabouts, then we can handle it ourselves. I no longer want to capture him, I want his life!"

As Luo’er said this, his teeth gritted audibly. He was already entirely out of patience for Fu’en. Now, even if Lin Wei himself were to plead for Fu’en, nothing would deter him from wanting to kill Fu’en.

Shariya understood Luo’er’s anger. Having spent some time with Luo’er, he found the half-elf to be very kind and accommodating. Clearly, Fu’en had angered him, or he wouldn’t have made this threat.

"Locate Fu’en and then eradicate the Hound Gang, is that it?" Shariya asked.

"That’s all. The Church Court has been stating that they will help us capture Fu’en, yet nobody has taken any action. These are my least demands, and if the Church Court still can’t fulfil them, then I will advise Headquarters to abandon our partnership with the Church Court," Luo’er said coldly.

"I understand. You all need to rest in the academy. As long as I am here, no one can disturb you," Shariya nodded and said.

"Thank you for your effort, Dean Shariya!" Despite his anger, Luo’er still showed due respect.

"No, there’s no need to thank me. These are all commitments that the Church Court has already made, and I am simply performing my duties," Shariya said waving his hand.

Walking out of Shariya’s office, facing the cool night breeze, Luo’er felt a bit of his burdens were lifted, allowing him to breath deeply.

He has been on edge for some time now. Everything, from stealing the intelligence from the Truth, to threatening Azita, to ambushing Fu’en’s residence to capture him, and being pursued by the Hound Gang, all happened within one day.

Luo’er had never imagined so many things could happen in one day. His limited interaction with Azita did not provide a full understanding of Azita’s personality, which led him to believe that mere threats alone would make Azita handover Fu’en.

Who would have thought that the ruthless Adzita would use this opportunity to turn on them. If they had not been lucky, casualties would have already occurred.
