Chapter 40: Liam

"Who is the someone that say Professor William took the time magic box?" Elias asked.

"Hmm, I don't know" Scarlett's eyes looked to the left and looked to the right. She was thinking about it.

"Who is the someone? " Elias wondered. Because he knew that no one took the time magic box. According to Jasper, it was kept in the safest place in the city. Though he didn't know where it is, he knew that others also didn't know. 

Based on his understanding of Professor William's personalities, Professor William would let everyone know about it if he got the box.

"So, now every sectors is coming for Professor William? What is their plan?" Elias asked.

"I don't know. I am just a 3 stars magician." Scarlett said.

Elias nodded his head. It made sense. Scarlett was just a 3 stars. The leader won't tell the plan to everyone. 

At the moment Elias was thinking, Liam entered the room. He was wearing a green colour robe, with 8 stars on it.

"Leader Liam." Scarlett stood up and said.

"En, Scarlett, I have thing to talk with Elias. Please give us some time." Liam nodded his head slightly and said with a calm voice.

"Bye bye" Scarlett waved her hand at Elias and said. She was giving Elias a playful look, as if saying 'good luck' to Elias.

 Liam took a seat at the chair, gazing at Elias.

Elias gave him a gentle smile. He was not scare of him. Though he couldn't win Liam in fight now, he could run away if he tried his best. Just that it would exposed his magic power. So, he chose the peace way instead - talk.

"Hi Mr Liam. Do you have a cigarette. I would like to have cigarette before talking about the accident." Elias said.

Liam took a quick glance at Elias. Then, he gave Elias a cigarette. 

Elias took the cigarette, put it into his mouth and lit it up.

It was the Mystic Ember Cigarette, the most expensive cigarette in the world.

Elias was happy with it. After 4 months, he finally had chance to enjoy the Mystic Ember Cigarette.

"So, Elias what you saw in the accident."

"Which part you are interested in?" 

"All of it."

"Okay." Elias nodded his head and started to tell the story. From the fire blast to the death of Jasper.

"You means there were four others guys with Jasper?"

"Ya."

"Who are they? I didn't know. Maybe you can ask the mage executor."

"And you say that Jasper teleported the time magic box to somewhere unknown? How he did it?"

"With a teleport magic board. You can buy it online." Elias showed his phone to Liam. On the phone was his online shop that sell teleport magic board.

Elias didn't lie on all these things because he knew that Liam could find it in the mage executor's record. It was pointless to lie to him. 

"Anything else? "

"Oh ya, Jasper said he found the time magic in a warehouse. I didn't know what warehouse it is. But it is a warehouse" Elias exhaled the smoke. Its taste was great.

"Warehouse?" Liam squinted his eyes.

"Anything else? If not, I am leaving." Elias stood up and said, walking towards the door.

"Nope, you stay. Wind rope." Liam casted a 3 stars magic spell.

A bunch of green colour ropes formed in the air. Pulling and tying Elias on the chair.

"Ehhh Liam, I told you everything." Elias starred at him and said.

"You are an important witnesses of the accident. I need you to be with us tomorrow." Liam said.

"I don't care. None of my business. I am just a year one University student." Elias said. The most important reason he didn't want to join them was because Liam wanted to use his words against his teacher, Professor William. 

From his conversation with Scarlett, he knew that someone spread the rumors that Professor William took the time magic box.

"I don't care also. You stay." Liam said. Then, he took Elias's phone away. 

"With this, you won't be able to run away. I promised to let you go after the six sector meeting." Liam held Elias hand and said.

"I just want to let everyone know that truth." Liam added. Then, he left the room.

Elias gazed at the door as Liam left.

"This guys still so stubborn."

"He always had an obsession with the truth."

"Idealism."

Elias knew that Liam was not a bad guys. They had fought dark magician together in previous life. But Liam always wanted to know the truth. Before catching any dark magician, Liam would do all the research about the dark magician, making sure he caught a bad person, not a good person. 

There were good and bad with his personalities. The bad thing was it was troublesome to work with him. The good thing was he didn't catch any good guys.

"Haizzzz, got to deal with this guy again."

"Is ok, let me finish this cigarette first." 

Though Elias was tied up on the chair, he still smoked, enjoying the expansive cigarette. 

"Ah, nice."
