Conquering The Game's World

Luis pretended to be confused. "What do you mean? Didn't you say the enemy set up the illusion?"

Cobert gave him a blank look and didn't continue asking. Although, he was curious, but only a little. Besides, he wasn't sure if Luis would tell him. So, he didn't bother to waste his breath asking. Instead, he asked another question.

"What do you want to do with these criminals?"

Luis raised one of his brows and asked. "You didn't kill them?"

"Only six of them have been knocked unconscious. Others are all dead." Cobert said with an expressionless face.

However, after hearing his statement, Luis gave him a strange look.

"What's with that expression?" Cobert asked, wondering if he said something wrong.

"No, I'm just surprised." Luis shook his head and answered truthfully. "I thought you would kill all of them to hide your secrets. Since, looking at Sufi earlier, I can tell that she doesn't know the strength of the enemies. You must have tricked her. So, if these criminals are caught by the academy and are interrogated later. They might find out that you are hiding your strength."

Cobert nodded, not denying Luis' words. "Yes, I have thought of the same. That's why I asked you. If you have any plans for them or not. If not, I'll just kill them before we hand over their bodies to the academy."

His expression was calm, and his tone was quite serious when he said those words.

Who knew after hearing him, a surprised smile appeared on Luis' face.

"Wow! Cobert, I didn't expect you to think so much about the benefit of your employer. I'm so touched."

Black lines appeared on Cobert's forehead as his listless eyes gave him a blank stare. He wondered if he should give a few dagger stabs to this annoying bastard in front of him.

'No, I must calm down. I need to control my murderous heart.'

After taking deep breaths, he once again became calm.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Tch! Boring." Luis clicked his tongue, dissatisfied by his reaction. However, he still gave Cobert an assuring response.

"No need to kill them. I do have some use for them. As for your secrets, no need to worry. They won't be able to tell anybody."

"Hm, I'll trust you."

Cobert nodded. He didn't probe Luis about his purposes or other things. Because he knew Luis had many mysteries and it wasn't wise of him to ask him directly. Especially given their transactional relationship. Where there's no bond involved.

"What about William and his brother?" Cobert asked, while glancing in the direction of the stairs.

Luis exhaled a heavy sigh and said in a serious tone, "When fighting with me, William's brother used some kind of forbidden drug, and then he did a suicide blast along with William. Both their bodies exploded. Not even ashes were left."

"What the…?" Cobert's lips twitched. He could see that Luis didn't even bother to give it a deep thought before making up that nonsense excuse.

Luis shrugged and raised his head towards the ceiling of the warehouse. Then said in a deep voice full of emotion.

"Brothers' Love… How can we understand?"

Cobert stared at him with a flat gaze. As he let out a weary breath. 'Seriously, why the hell did I get teamed up with him?' He felt it was all the academy's fault, otherwise he wouldn't get tangled with such a guy. 'It must be the curses of all the people I have killed that I'm suffering now.' As he thought so, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

However, Cobert didn't know that meeting Luis wasn't a curse. Rather, it was his greatest blessing. Because of this, he had stepped on a different path in this life. Instead of walking in the path of chaos and regret.

"Is there anything else you want me to do? I can help you carry them." Cobert was talking about living criminals. Since he had already done so much, he didn't mind helping him further. After all, he didn't want the academy to get them.

Luis shook his head and assured. "Don't worry about it. There will be someone doing that work. Let's go see Bonnie for now."

Cobert wondered if the someone in Luis' mouth was a person from the Suarez family.

While Cobert was thinking, Luis used his 'Perception' to ascertain which of the criminals were alive, and then he started walking toward the exit.

Cobert gave a last glance towards the criminals, then deciding to believe in Luis this time. He followed after him.

Right after they left, six purple vortexes appeared inside the warehouse, right below the unconscious criminals, sucking their bodies in.

A satisfied smile appeared on Luis' face, who was outside the warehouse. Of course, Cobert had no clue about this.

"Should we get a hover car this time? Or just go on foot?"

Luis was about to answer him. However, he sensed something and turned his head in a certain direction. Cobert did the same. It was also at that moment he regretted his previous decision. 'I should have killed them. Now, there's no opportunity.'

Because the person approaching their direction was none other than Professor Olivia. Upon seeing the two of them notice her, Olivia used her movement technique. Then, within the blink of an eye. She stood in front of them.

Luis' eyes lit up. "You have such an amazing speed! Professor!"

Olivia was stunned when she heard his unexpected praise. She had a gentle smile on her face as she asked, "Are you interested? It's my movement technique. If you want, I can teach you."

Luis kept smiling and waved his hand in rejection.

"No need. What's the use of having such an amazing technique if you can't even arrive on time? Isn't that right, Professor?"

When she heard this. Olivia didn't get annoyed or angry. She understood Luis had no interest in her technique. He was just blaming her for arriving late. After their previous experience, she still had somewhat of an understanding of him.

Which is why she knows Luis is once again disappointed in her.

She sighed and directly clarified her reasons.

"I was called for an urgent meeting. So, I didn't see the messages. Some time ago I came across Sufi and helped her get to Professor Cyndy, then I came here."

Although, she gave an explanation. She still felt bad because she was irresponsible.

'I know you are an irresponsible woman.' Alicia's angry voice once again rang inside her mind, making her depressed.

"I see." Luis didn't care. He was just pretending to be dissatisfied. Rather, he was thankful that she didn't come sooner. Otherwise, he wouldn't have obtained such interesting research materials.

"Since you are already here. We shall leave, Professor. We are very tired after the fight."

Cobert's expression didn't change, but he still gave a deep stare at Luis. As if asking, what is he trying to do?

Olivia nodded in understanding. "Okay, go take a good rest and I hope you can report to me what happened in detail later."

"Yeah, sure. Cobert will explain everything later." Luis said, leaving all the bothersome matters to Cobert.

The light in Olivia's eyes became a little dull, thinking that Luis probably didn't want to see her. 'Is this what I deserve? Being hated by my student?'

"Hmm." She sighed and went inside the warehouse.

Luis also started leaving, but Cobert, who was frowning, stopped him.

"Wait, Luis, do you intend to leave like this?"

"Don't worry, everything's fine. I promised you, right? If you want to, you can go help the Professor."

After saying that, Luis turned around and left.

Cobert kept looking at his back for a few seconds, then relaxed his frown. He went back to the warehouse.

Then, as soon as he entered, he saw Olivia inspecting the bodies, which almost took his breath away. Fortunately, the one she was checking was already dead.

He was thinking of how to kill the living criminals under Olivia's nose. However, just when he was about to look around. Olivia called out to him.

"Oh? Cobert, you are back?"

"I'm not that tired. So, I thought of helping you, Professor."

"Hm, is that so? Well, that's good." Olivia nodded, then said. "But seriously, you guys… *Sigh* You should have at least left one of the criminals alive for interrogation."

"The situation didn't allow it, Professor." Cobert didn't change his expression and gave a flawless answer.

However, inwardly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

'Not a single one alive? How so?'

It took him one glance to find out that all the six unconscious criminals had disappeared.

'How did Luis do it? Did someone take them away in such a short time?' As he thought so, a chill ran down Cobert's spine. Because he didn't even notice anyone entering or coming out of the warehouse.

'Does he have such proficient and powerful subordinates?'

In Cobert's heart, he was in awe of his mysterious employer.

'Maybe it's not a bad idea to work for him… It's just that he is so annoying that I feel like killing him.'
