Chapter 1240 Joyful
Meeting Hall:
Cooper was worried that his father might take drastic measures. Already, they were involved in the internal politics of the True Elements Society.
They were in the Aristocratic Faction. If they took any drastic measures, it might endanger their whole Aristocratic Faction.
Callen saw his son’s reaction. But he had made a decision in his mind already.

“Why don’t we capture that kid? I will personally get answers from him,” Callen said.
Boom!
His words fell like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears. Especially to Cooper; he was dumbfounded. The worst case had happened in the end.
“Father, it’s impossible. That kid is protected by the Special Mage Department. I heard Head Howard praised him as well.”
“If we take any action, it would affect the interests of the Aristocratic Families,” Cooper quickly refuted.
All the elders there had the same opinion. They were in the same boat with the Aristocratic Families. If they touched the Special Mage Department, then Head Howard Mason might use this opportunity to weaken them.
Callen’s eyes turned red.
“Do you think I care about the Aristocratic Families right now?”
“My grandson is dead. I don’t know how to face Rhys and my elder grandson, Robin,” Callen said.
Cooper gritted his teeth. His father was being emotional right now. But as the family head, he couldn’t afford to make such a mistake.
His father was a Magic Lord. But Head Howard was a powerful Magic Lord as well. He didn’t want to attract the direct anger of the Magic Lord.
If such things happened, then their Perry Family would be hit hard. While other Aristocratic Families would watch from the sidelines. Then it would be a matter of time before the other Aristocratic Families engulfed the remaining Perry Family.
He knew the relationship between the Aristocratic Families was not good either. They were competing with each other. It’s just that their interest in the True Elements Society made them band together to form the Aristocratic Faction.
All the elders were tense. Their former head was a strong Magic Lord. If he made any decision, it would be hard to change it back.
Cooper said, “Father, think twice. We can do something to that kid later. But if he goes against the Special Mage Department, then there would be no turning back.”
“We would completely offend the True Elements Society then,” he added.
Hearing that, the seated elders echoed the same opinion as well. They were a bit scared to go against the former head. But if they didn’t try to change his mind, then the family would face huge danger.
Callen frowned, seeing the growing discontent. He then thought of something important before replying, “Alright, do what you want. But I won’t be able to control Rhys.”
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
Everyone breathed in relief. Only Cooper was not satisfied. He wouldn’t blindly trust his father’s words. He had decided to keep in touch with him.
…
Meanwhile,
In the Anderson Family, Tommy Anderson was puzzled by the death of his wizards. He had even gone there to investigate the Abandoned Pinewood Forest.
But as usual, something hidden in the deepest part of the Pinewood Forest made him afraid and caused a sense of crisis for him.
After that, he didn’t dare to encourage his curiosity and returned to the family. He could only say that the wizards had a bad encounter.
Now, he couldn’t afford to send another strong wizard to investigate that place.
…
From MC’s Perspective:
After attending the lectures, I exited the class and went to the library. I didn’t know what Head Howard was doing. I was hoping that he had found some answers in the Abandoned Pinewood Forest.
After entering the library, I quietly went to one of the sections and started reading the books.
Time passed.
When the sun was going to set, I received a summons from Elder Paul. I stopped reading and put the books back on the racks before leaving.
Shortly afterwards,
I arrived at Elder Paul’s cabin. The door was unlocked. I went inside the room. Elder Paul was sitting behind the desk.
“I heard you went to Virez City,” Paul Lin asked.
Hearing that, my heart skipped a beat. Then I quickly collected my thoughts.
I replied, “Yes, I had explored Verdant City before. So I was curious about Virez City.”
“Oh,” Paul Lin uttered in surprise. He actually believed it.
There was some other reason why he asked Vincent to come here.
“Head Howard has returned. He has explored the forbidden Pinewood Forest to some extent. But he says that place is still dangerous.”
“The deepest part of the forest can pose a threat to the Magic Lord. So Head Howard wanted you to focus on your magic practice. He will find other ways to get you the Gravity Magic Resources,” he added.
Hearing that, my heart was in turmoil. The Abandoned Pinewood Forest was my only hope. But it could pose a threat to the Magic Lord. I believed Head Howard. He wouldn’t lie about this.
He had already agreed to give me Gravity Magic Resources. So I could only wait for that.
“It’s okay, Elder. I can understand. I will be waiting,” I replied to him.
Then I stood up to leave.
“Wait a second. I heard there is something going on with the Perry Family. Stay away from them. Try not to get into any conflict with them,” Paul said.
Hearing that, I nodded to him before leaving. When I exited the cabin, my mouth curved into an arc. It appeared that no one really knew that it was my doing.
But I would still be careful of Leona and others.
A few minutes later,
I reached the dorm building. But there was someone familiar standing at the entrance. The person was none other than Leona Perry.
My eyes flashed with a glint. I gave her a look before trying to walk past her.
Leona Perry saw Vincent as well. She was close to bursting out in anger. But she controlled her impulse quickly. Just as she was waiting for him, she saw him walking past her.
