Charles experienced Hidan's ultimate technique of killing others with their blood in the training ground of the system. This technique was undeniably powerful, but it came at the cost of extreme pain.
To kill the opponent, one had to execute oneself. The pain suffered by the enemy was exactly the same as the pain experienced by oneself. Moreover, Hidan often sacrificed himself for the sake of the evil god.
This technique was not something a sane person could endure, involving various attacks to vital points such as piercing the heart, beheading, and burning.
Charles believed that even though Hidan had a steadfast belief in the evil god, his inner state must be insane. This technique was not something an ordinary person could cultivate.
After proficiently mastering both of these techniques, Charles exited the system space. He then went to the Summoning world to deliver Gamakichi's short sword.
Returning to the Agency, Charles walked out of the room. He believed that even if his teacher, Balthazar, and Veronica were having a romantic moment in the healing Room, they should be done by now.
Arriving at the front desk downstairs, Charles asked, "Iruka, have Balthazar and the others come down?"
"They are having their meals in the dining area."
Charles went to the dining area, and he immediately spotted Balthazar and Veronica. He walked over directly.
Balthazar was narrating interesting stories from the centuries to Veronica. Hearing someone approach, he looked up and saw Charles.
When Charles arrived, Balthazar spoke directly, "Thank you, Charles."
"You not only killed Morgana but also saved my junior sister, Veronica."
Seeing Balthazar's grateful expression, Charles quickly replied, "Teacher, it's something I should do."
Balthazar then introduced Veronica, "This is my junior sister, Veronica, and also my beloved."
Afterwards, addressing Veronica, he said, "This is my disciple, Charles Doyle, who is about to inherit the title of Supreme Merlin."
"Hello!"
After the handshake, Charles took a seat beside Balthazar.
Balthazar looked at Charles and then spoke, "Since you have killed Morgana, it's time for you to inherit the title of Supreme Merlin."
"Veronica and I will return to the Magic World to prepare for your succession ceremony. Many magicians will attend as well."
"My teacher, Merlin, left behind quite a few good things in the Magic World. Although I used some of them during the pursuit of Morgana, there are still many left."
"As for the magical world and magical equipment you're anticipating, you'll understand once you take over as Supreme Merlin."
Charles nodded, then said seriously, "I understand, Master Balthazar."
At this point, Balthazar stood up with Veronica, holding her hand. He then said, "We will go and prepare for your succession ceremony. Once everything is ready, we will inform you."
After his words, Balthazar left the Agency with Veronica, boarded his luxury car, and disappeared at the end of the road.
Looking at the leftover dishes on the table in front of him, Charles changed to another table and called the waiter to order a Wellington steak and red wine.
Curiosity about the magical world still filled Charles's mind. Apart from the group of secret mage practitioners, Kamar Taj, that he knew, he had limited knowledge about other magicians.
He wondered what kind of magical world it would be. However, considering that the position of Supreme Merlin had been vacant for centuries, there might be some discontinuities in the magical world.
He hoped that magical equipment would not be that scarce.
At the same time, Charles remembered something. He forgot to ask Balthazar about the evil mages who were originally imprisoned in the Matryoshka. It seemed that he would have to wait till the next time they met.
After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the Wellington steak and a well-chosen red wine to Charles.
Charles cut a piece of the steak and put it into his mouth. The baked steak had a rich flavor, and beneath the golden and tempting puff pastry was a layer of rich ham and mushroom. Inside was a tender and juicy fillet, creating a delightful taste.
Taking a sip of the Bordeaux dry red wine, the taste was quite good.
Just as Charles was about to finish the steak in front of him, the Agency door was pushed open by Agent Coulson with several agents. They carried a few briefcases and walked directly to the Agency's front desk.
"Mr. Iruka, I have a mission to entrust to Mr. Charles. I'll trouble you to inform him."
Iruka smiled at Coulson's group of five, especially the four agents who each held a briefcase. "Please wait in the reception room."
He then arranged for a staff member of the office to lead Coulson and his team to the reception room.
Seeing Coulson and the others leave, Iruka picked up the phone on the front desk and made a call.
At this moment, Charles had just put down his knife and fork and was preparing to leave when he heard the phone ringing. He picked it up directly.
"Lord Charles, Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. is here for a mission and has brought four agents, each with a briefcase."
"Alright, I understand."
"Prepare a few blank mission scrolls and bring them to the reception room later."
After instructing Iruka, Charles hung up the phone. He then thought about the purpose of Coulson's visit today, which was most likely related to the major battle that occurred at the Battery square last night, attracting the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Guessing the purpose of their visit, Charles took a sip of the red wine on the table and then got up to leave the dining area, heading towards the reception room.
…
In the reception room-
Agent Coulson sat alone. The four agents stood guard outside the door, and the suitcases they brought were all placed in the room.
While Coulson was waiting, a voice suddenly came through his Bluetooth earpiece.
"Coulson, the bronze bull from the artillery park has been found. It appeared on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company building. I've sent the photos to your phone."
Hearing the voice in his earpiece, Coulson took out his phone to take a look. There were several pictures of the bronze bull on the rooftop.
A close-up photo of the bronze bull, an overhead view of the rooftop, and some close-ups of the scratches on the bronze bull were included.
At the same time, the accompanying message mentioned that it was unknown how the bronze bull appeared on the rooftop of the building. The entrance gates and corridors did not allow the bronze bull to pass through. There were no surveillance cameras, and the entrance to the rooftop was undamaged.
As Coulson contemplated this bizarre situation, the door to the reception room suddenly opened, and Charles Doyle walked in.
