Chapter 1170: Targeted? Fear? Intrigued?

Tengu city, DEM branch office

In the giant penthouse office of the building, Westcott sat on his luxurious sofa while sighing. He opened his window and gazed upon the neon-lit city. His platinum locks fluttered in the air.

It looked like hes gazing down upon a model toy. He narrowed his eyes until they looked like daggers that gave people a bad vibe. This guy is someone who treated the world like his toy. Its his disgusting hobby rather than a scary trait of his.

Indeed, only spirits and power are on his mind, he could care less about anything else.

As the executive with the highest level of authority in DEM, Westcott only came to this town because he had his eyes on something here.

The city itself is just a nice toy he can discard at a moments notice.

Westcott looked down at the night city with his sharp eyes. Those are the eyes of a fisherman looking for small fishes in the sea, pointless but unrelenting.

Anyone familiar with Westcott can guess what hes looking for without even asking.

He stared at the city for one whole hour. He never lost his nasty grin. It looked like he didnt mind spending the night just watching the city like this.

Soon, someone broke this tranquility by abruptly opening the door without so much as a greeting or knock.

Judging by the clear and light footsteps, Westcott could tell who it was. His smile widened although he didnt look back.

In DEM, only one person can brazenly open Westcotts door and get away without a reprimand.

DEM greeted the visitor without turning back.

Youre back already?

Westcott asked.

It seems like you hit a troublesome b.u.mp

Indeed

The western beauty with platinum blonde locks replied.

I hit quite a lot of snags

Westcott shook his head before turning around.

Its not like you to encounter problems during missions Ellen

Westcott looked at Ellen.

After going to Arubi Island, we lost contact with you and we lost communication with Arbatel.

Westcott is implying he needed an explanation from Ellen.

Its rare for Westcott to ask about nitty-gritty details. Hes only concerned with stealing powers from spirits. He placed Ellen in charge of supportive and operational tasks, listening only to reports submitted by Ellen.

Ellen met his gaze without looking away.

Princess ident.i.ty wasnt confirmed in this operation. Nightmare suspect is also missing from the school trip.

You failed to ascertain the ident.i.ty of Princess and Nightmare, I take it this mission was a failure?

Westcott frowned, a very rare feat for someone as distant as him.

He looked dissatisfied for a second before he recalled something amiss.

What about the Red Devil? The male spirit suspect is a high school student during this school trip, yes?

Westcott grimaced when he saw Ellens reaction.

The moment Westcott mentioned Wu Yan, the strongest mage, a.k.a Ellen, showed fear. He could see the dread in her eyes.

The fearless Westcott caught Ellens fear and he changed his expression.

This is the first time he saw fear on the strongest mages face.

Gripped by intrigue, he pursued Ellen.

To think Ellen would be so intimidated after returning from her mission. It looks like something interesting happened while she was on Arubi Island.

From your reaction, is it fair to surmise you found something interesting about the Red Devil?

Would you like to share it with me?

Ellen lowered her head. While initially silent, she recalled the playful grin Wu Yan showed her.

She also remembered the overwhelming difference in power between herself and the demon. She clenched her fist while submitting her report.

The ident.i.ty of the student has been confirmed. He is the Red Devil without a shred of doubt.

Westcott silently waited for Ellen to continue.

Ellen inhaled deeply. She looked at Westcott.

Isaac, I dont think we should target the Red Devil!

The reason?

Westcott nonchalantly asked.

That spirit, that man

Ellen bitterly laughed as she closed her eyes.

Hes too dangerous

Dangerous?

Westcott used a serious tone for once.

Did you fight with him?

We did and I lost. I lost completely

Ellens bitter smile increased in intensity.

Frustrated, she still reported her results.

I couldnt harm him in the slightest. But, he demonstrated the ability to break my territory with ease. He also blew up Arbatel in a single move. If Berserker didnt make a timely appearance and caught his attention then I would have most likely

Westcott turned mum. His sharp look finally had a look of playful intrigue. Thats the smile of someone who found something incredibly fun and exciting.

Hes very strong?

Ellen knew what motivated the guy so she sighed.

Much as I would like to deny it, he is indeed very powerful. Hes far more powerful than any spirit I have ever encountered. Hes the only one who defeated me in a fair fight so far. Hes also the only one who did so without suffering so much as a scratch from me.

Ellens definitive answer only made Westcotts day brighter. His grin grew wider and he started laughing out loud while holding his right palm to his face.

Incredible! Just incredible!

Westcott guffawed.

Even the strongest magician is like a helpless baby in front of him. There is such a powerful spirit among us? Am I not blessed by the heavens? Hahaha!

Westcotts unrestrained laughter reverberated in the room. His laughter felt like cold water on Ellens face. However, she did lose fair and square. That incident happened in the way she reported, she couldnt deny it as a fluke.

Westcott forgot about Ellens presence. He looked at the outside scenery with elation.

Ah~ What do we have to do to invite the male spirit over here? Maybe we should mobilize the entire DEM fleet? Or, should we cooperate with AST once more? Maybe we should blackmail him by capturing his close friends and relatives?

Westcott deliberated by himself.

But, that does sound uncouth, perhaps inviting him directly is the best option here?

Thats too dangerous!

Ellen said without hesitation.

Isaac, let me invite him.

Oh?

Westcott gasped at Ellen.

You got a way to draw him out?

I do

Westcott gazed out the window once more.

Now, thats something to look forward to
