Chapter 746 Bismarck <TOC> Chapter 748 Inquiring

Upon hearing this voice, Angel suddenly paused.
Huh, such a familiar voice?
The sudden change to a normal voice from the other party inexplicably felt familiar to Angel. He looked up, and although the misty illusion obscured the view, it didn’t prevent him from seeing the other party’s appearance.
—A man in a silver robe with a strong, bear-like build.
“Lord Sabo?” Angel whispered softly.
Hearing Angel’s voice, the illusion also looked over.
The mist seemed to have no effect; the sharp gaze pierced directly through the illusion, and Angel’s figure was completely visible to the other party.
“Huh, who are you?” Sabo looked at the middle-aged man behind the mist, a flicker of confusion passing over his face.
Angel dispelled the illusion and glanced at Bismarck lying on the ground. The previous fear spell had already pushed Bismarck to the brink of collapse, and with Sabo’s spiritual presence, his wizard-level pressure directly caused Bismarck to faint.
In an instant, the only ones left conscious in the reception room were Angel and the illusory Sabo opposite him.
“Your illusory fluctuations have a strange familiarity. Who are you, really? Do you know me?” Sabo asked again.
Instead of answering, Angel directly removed the illusion transformation on himself, and the seemingly lazy middle-aged man slowly revealed a distorted ripple, exposing his young and handsome face.
“Angel?” Seeing this, Sabo’s eyebrows slowly relaxed, revealing a surprised expression. But upon seeing the unconscious Bismarck at his feet, Sabo asked in a puzzled tone, “Why are you here, and what happened between you and Bismarck?”
Angel’s expression was quite strange at this moment. He never expected that this man named Bismarck had ‘Mad Bear’ Sabo as his mentor!
Back then, when he traveled from the Old Land Continent to the Prosperous Continent, Sabo was in charge of the Bohemia ship. Later, he learned that Sabo was also a disciple of Lord Midora.
Thinking about the kindness Lord Midora showed him during his time in Mechanical City, Angel felt somewhat awkward at this moment. It seemed he had almost killed an apprentice related to Midora?
“Lord Sabo, is Bismarck your disciple? I think there may be some misunderstandings here.” Angel thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Coincidentally, he also wanted to know why Bismarck was so insistent on keeping him here.
Before Angel could speak, Sabo nodded, “I believe there is a misunderstanding here. However, my mental imprint is about to disappear.”
Sabo glanced at the unconscious Bismarck, “You let Bismarck go for now, and later, have him contact me through the signal tower.”
As Sabo finished speaking, his illusion slowly began to ripple and eventually disappeared.
Angel sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and restarted the illusion transformation, returning to his original middle-aged man appearance.
Since Sabo had said so, regardless of whether he believed there was a misunderstanding, Angel couldn’t continue attacking Bismarck. Well then, it was best to listen to Sabo’s explanation first.
A water summoning spell appeared above Bismarck’s head.
The cold, refreshing water splashed onto Bismarck’s face. He shivered and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Angel standing beside him, his expression turned to horror.
“No… don’t kill me,” Bismarck said, not even getting up, but rather propping himself up with his hands and scooting back.
Whether it was due to the previous fear spell or something else, Bismarck now looked like a terrified rabbit, huddled and trembling in the corner.
Angel expressionlessly asked, “Your mentor is the ‘Mad Bear’ Sabo?”
Bismarck, startled, reached for his neck and took off a necklace. The necklace had a cylindrical crystal pendant which now showed cracks. With a gentle force, the pendant shattered into several pieces.
“It’s broken… You triggered my mentor’s mental imprint!” Bismarck suddenly looked up at Angel, “My mentor has seen you. If you kill me, he will not let you off!”
Upon confirming once again that Bismarck’s mentor was Sabo, Angel fell silent.
In Bismarck’s eyes, Angel seemed to have conceded. Bismarck then slowly stood up, his voice weak, “As long as you let me go, I’ll plead with my mentor to go easy on you…”
Angel finally looked up and coldly smiled at Bismarck, “Go to the signal tower and contact Sabo.”
Bismarck looked puzzled, “You… what do you want to do?”
“I know your mentor. Since you can’t reason with me, let me have a chat with your mentor.”
Bismarck’s face showed disbelief, but due to Angel’s imposing strength, he didn’t refuse. He reluctantly led Angel to the signal tower.
The signal tower resembled a dome-shaped tower with a lightning rod, filled with machinery inside.
After Bismarck operated some of the machines, he reluctantly inserted three magic crystals into the kinetic energy source. Instantly, a frequency emitted from the needle-like structure at the top.
After a while, Sabo’s image appeared on the central screen.
“Lord Sabo,” Angel bowed his head, paying his respects.
“No need for formalities. We were only halfway through our conversation earlier, so please continue. I also want to know what misunderstanding there is,” Sabo said, then glared at Bismarck, who was standing to one side.
Bismarck stepped aside with his head lowered, but thought to himself: So he wasn’t lying; he really does know my mentor? And judging by my mentor’s tone, they seem quite close?!
Your favorite disciple is right here. Bismarck complained inwardly.
Angel simply recounted the previous dispute, specifically mentioning the matter of Roman and the reason Bismarck had tried to stop him.
After listening, Sabo looked at Bismarck with a gloomy expression: “Tell me, why did you insist on keeping Angel here and even dared to take the initiative to attack? Do you want to die? Just for a corporate traitor with solid evidence?”
Angel? Bismarck was stunned for a while before realizing who Sabo was talking about.
For some reason, Bismarck felt that the name “Angel” sounded somewhat familiar.
As Bismarck was puzzled, Sabo’s angry roar came again: “Are you mute? Speak up!”
Bismarck trembled all over, hesitatingly said: “Lord, it was Lady Merayesha’s decision.”
“Merayesha? How is she involved again?” Sabo frowned and muttered, “Why does Merayesha want to keep Angel?”
Bismarck hesitated for a moment: “It seems that Roman knows some hidden information about Leviathan. Lady Merayesha is very interested in that Leviathan. She thinks Sir Pat might know something, so she asked me to keep Sir Pat here, and she will personally interrogate him.”
“Interrogate? With her qualifications?!” Sabo snorted coldly. With Angel’s status, as long as he showed the research institute access card personally given by Muse, not to mention Merayesha, even he himself had no right to interrogate.
Sabo: “Why is Merayesha interested in a Leviathan, a sea beast with extremely low benefits? Do you know?”
Bismarck shook his head: “I’m not sure about this, but… during my time in charge of Moonset City, I received some news.”
“What news?”
“It seems that several groups in the Devil’s Sea are interested in the Leviathan, and there may even be large-scale wizard organizations involved.” Bismarck continued, “Moreover, that Leviathan has been hovering around Silver Palm Island, which also goes against the nature of the Leviathan. Perhaps there is some unknown plot involved.”
Plot? Sabo pondered for a moment but couldn’t figure it out. He simply stopped thinking, turned to Angel, and said, “Bismarck was wrong about this matter, and I will make him apologize to you personally. As for Merayesha’s side, I will personally talk to her. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter.”
Since Sabo had said so, Angel gracefully stepped down: “Lord Sabo knows that my enlightenment mentor is unwell, and I need to return as soon as possible. That’s why I couldn’t accept Bismarck’s request to stay for three months.”
Sabo was also at the Barbie Restaurant four years ago. At that time, Angel had mentioned that he had a five-year agreement with his enlightenment mentor, and now the appointed time was approaching. It was no wonder he would be angry about being forced to stay for three months.
Sabo coldly glanced at Bismarck, who felt uneasy under his gaze. Finally, amidst the cold blade-like tension, Bismarck stood up and bowed to Angel in apology. At the same time, under Sabo’s urging, Bismarck was forced to take out a spatial capsule containing more than two hundred magic crystals – all his possessions.
Angel nodded, directly accepting the magic crystals, causing a pained expression on Bismarck’s face.
“Since Lord Sabo says so, I can rest assured.”
Pausing for a moment, Angel continued, “As for Roman, he may have some hidden information or maybe not. I have no knowledge of it because after Roman’s death, I went to his room, and it was already empty.”
Angel candidly opened his mental defenses, and even through a screen, Sabo could tell that Angel was not lying.
Sabo: “I believe you. I will talk to Merayesha.”
With this said, the matter was basically settled. Sabo was satisfied, and so was Angel, who had received hundreds of magic crystals for just staying a little longer. Although he didn’t lack money, it was a fact that Bismarck had offended him, so causing him pain was a kind of punishment.
The only one dissatisfied was Bismarck.
After disconnecting the communication, Bismarck started sobbing and complaining in front of Angel. Not only had he been beaten by Angel, but he had also been scolded by his mentor, and in the end, he had lost a significant amount of money…
Angel left satisfied.
Alvin was waiting for him at the door. After getting into the carriage, Angel pondered for a moment before asking Alvin, “Do you know who sent the navigation route information to Roman when the Cloud Conch set sail before?”
Alvin: “I’m not sure, but it should have been someone from the company, right?”
“Have you heard of Merayesha?”
Alvin’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaned closer to Angel, whispering, “I have heard Sir Roman mention her before. It seems that Lady Merayesha is the hidden owner behind the White Shell Shipping Company.”
