After the guards left, Creed sat back on his chair.
"Although there is a killing magical formation in the mayor's mansion, as long as I don't charge into it, it shouldn't pose much of a threat. Even if the two cowardly turtles in the mayor's mansion attack together, they won't be a match for me."
As he thought of this, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The grand knight decided to stay put. As long as the mayor didn't wake up, he would still be the number one expert in Vader City. Whenever his son gets the attention of the professor, he would then bring the professor in to break the magical formation.
In the next few days, nothing major happened.
People were discussing the matter of the five experts being killed by the magical formation. The news spread even further. Soon, it had spread throughout the entire northern part of the Borodin Kingdom and became the talk of the town.
On the other hand, the mayor's mansion was very calm.
On the fifth day after Laylen had killed those extremely powerful experts, Nelly finally woke up.
Although he looked very weak, the poison in his body had been neutralized.
"Mayor, you are finally awake." During these days, Liszt had been guarding Nelly almost every step of the way. When he saw him wake up, his expression was very excited.
"Liszt..." Nelly's voice was hoarse, he felt thirsty, and wanted to drink some water.
"Here, water."
Liszt passed over a bowl of water, and Nelly drank it in one gulp.
After drinking it, he felt much better, and asked, "Liszt, how long have I been unconscious?"
"You've been unconscious for 2 months."
Nelly was a little confused, "The poison, even a tier 4 expert would not be able to withstand it. However, why do I feel that the poison in my body has been neutralized? Liszt, what did you do to me?"
Liszt replied, "This is all thanks to the young mayor. He brought tier 4 extinguishing fluid for you."
Just as he was about to say something else, a voice rang out from outside the dormitory.
"Dad, you're awake."
The two of them turned around and saw Laylen walking in from outside with a smile on his face. His gaze swept over Nelly's body.
"You little brat, you've finally returned." Seeing Laylen, Nelly was filled with anger.
Back then, when Laylen was unable to awaken his magic talent, Nelly had wanted him to learn the way of governance and help him manage Vader City. In the end, this brat actually disappeared without a trace for several years.
He mobilized almost all the soldiers in the city to search, but they could not find him.
It was as if he had vanished from the face of the Earth.
Therefore, Nelly had been holding back this anger in his heart.
Regarding his father's words, Laylen only smiled. "If I hadn't come back, a certain someone might not have lived until today."
"You..."
Nelly's eyes immediately widened.
Liszt hurriedly came out to smooth things over. "You two, you two! You've just met after being separated for such a long time, why are you acting like enemies? The mayor has just woken up, and his body is still very weak. Young mayor, please don't talk too much."
"What do you mean by you? Back then, when I couldn't awaken my magical talent, you forced me to practice martial arts and learn management. You even said that I would be able to better manage Vader city this way. You told me that if I didn't learn anything useful to take over you, Vader City would be finished sooner or later."
"Look at you. You implement new laws here and there. Isn't Vader City still almost finished?" Laylen's tone was filled with ridicule.
"You!"
Nelly got instantly furious. He wanted to get up and teach this kid a lesson.
Even after not seeing him for a few years, this brat was still so infuriating.
However, he did not know how to refute. He could only turn red and stare at Laylen with extreme anger.
"Did I say something wrong? Vader City is still in your hands. Isn't it almost finished?" Laylen dug his ears and said indifferently.
He felt great when he saw his father's exasperated look.
When he was ten years old, Nelly lectured him every day. It was as if Nelly was reciting scriptures, and his ears were almost calloused.
Now it was his turn to teach his father a lesson. He felt great.
In fact, there was a reason why he did not awaken his magic talent a few years ago.
He had always kept a big secret in his heart.
He was not a person from this world, but a transmigrator from Earth.
At that time, he had died for some reason and inexplicably transmigrated to the body of Laylen who was still an infant at that time.
He had mysteriously came to this foreign world where magic existed.
Because Laylen had transmigrated with his soul, when he was very young, he heard that the child of a certain guard in the mayor's mansion had died because of a failed magic awakening.
That scared the hell out of him.
Therefore, he made a decision, which was to not awaken his magical talent, as living a normal life would be the best.
After all, he had transmigrated to this family with relatively good conditions, as his father was the mayor of the city.
What's the point of practicing magic when you're the mayor of a big city?
However, this old man had forced him to exercise every day to prepare for the awakening of his magic talent when he was 12 years old. He also lectured him on many different useless topics. In addition, his mother had also died in childbirth. This made Laylen believe that he had to escape from Vader City.
Then, a series of things happened after he left that forced him to walk the path of magic against his will.
"Cough cough cough, young mayor, please stop talking," Liszt tried to dissuade him awkwardly.
The mayor had just woken up and immediately got lectured. Worst of all, he could not refute anything the young mayor had said. Liszt felt that the mayor would really faint from anger if this continued.
"Old man, I'm not saying that you should admit your mistakes. If you're wrong, then just change," Laylen said with a smile.
Just as he was about to say more, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly left the dormitory.
"This brat..."
It was not until Laylen disappeared from his view that Nelly finally felt that he had calmed down.
Liszt did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Tell me, what did he do during the time I was unconscious?" Nelly looked at Liszt in annoyance.
Liszt sighed, "If not for the return of the young mayor, Vader City would have been finished."
Following that, Liszt told Nelly about all sorts of shocking events that had happened recently.
Half an hour later, after Nelly heard what Liszt said, even as a tier 4 expert, he could not help but feel a huge wave of relief in his heart.
He was the one who took out the tier 4 potion to cure him.
He was the one who had reached the peak of tier 3 in just six years.
He was the one who took out a pile of Breakthrough Potions and gave it to the guards in the mayor's mansion.
Why did Nelly feel that this brat was even richer than him?
However, the most shocking part was yet to come.
Laylen had actually killed the children of a few traitors and then set up a tier 4 killing magical formation, which he then used to kill several experts, including an intermediate tier 4 expert.
If he hadn't heard this from Liszt, the person he trusted the most, Nelly would not have believed any of this.
What had Laylen been through these few years?
