Chapter 148 I will reach the top step by step!



Frowning and looking at the busy street, Karl always felt that there were two malicious eyes staring at him just now.

However, when he mobilized his psychic power to find the source of the vision, he could not find it.

"It's strange. I'm a person who doesn't invite disaster or trouble. How could someone have bad intentions towards me?"

Hearing Carl's mumbling, Lisanna beside him rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Who would say that about themselves? Maybe you are wrong."

After saying that, Lisanna pulled Carl towards a restaurant.

Judging from the exterior decoration of the restaurant, this is obviously a restaurant specializing in Breland dishes.

Similar to British cuisine in its previous life, Breland’s cuisine is abstract and unpalatable.

Their desserts are ok though.

Having been Lisanna's big brother for so many years, how could Carl not know this girl's taste? As soon as he entered the restaurant, Carl ordered two servings of the chef's specialty desserts.

After eating for about two hours, the two packed up the remaining desserts to take away.

However, just as he walked out of the restaurant door, Carl's psychic power suddenly gave a warning.

Without time to think about it, Carl instantly summoned the power armor that had not yet been repaired, then grabbed Lisana and jumped on the spot.

On the street on the left, a carriage that seemed to be out of control was rushing towards the place where Carl and Lisanna had just stood.

With a loud "boom", the carriage crashed directly into the restaurant. The wall at the door was actually shattered, and the magical horse bred by the livestock Dragon Pattern family was also killed directly by hitting the wall.

Apparently, the hostility I felt before entering the restaurant was not an illusion.

The incident at hand was an assassination plotted against Carl.

But looking at the crime scene in front of him, Carl felt a little puzzled.

"Isn't it a bit disrespectful to use this modified magical horse to kill a level 4 artificer like me? What's more, I am also a level 3 arcane knight on the side!"

Looking around again, Carl discovered that many shop owners looked at him with amusement in their expressions, and their faces showed neither curiosity of watching the fun nor panic of encountering an emergency.

Although he had long known that the artificial island was full of foreign spies, seeing these people's attitude of not even pretending, Carl still labeled them as "unprofessional" in his heart.

But on second thought, the truly important spies and secret agents would never be sent here, so it is understandable that these people are giving up.

"Oh my god, I was so scared!"

Beside her, Lisanna, who was still in shock, patted her chest with a look of fear on her face.

With her reaction speed and alertness, she should have noticed it earlier than Carl.

But today, I don’t know if it’s because I consumed too much sugar and caused my brain to be too relaxed, so I couldn’t react.

"Lisanna, go back to the dormitory first."

After instructing Lisana, Carl headed straight for the direction the carriage was coming from.

Of course he knew that by doing so there was a high probability that he would not be able to find the guy who wanted to murder him.

But as the saying goes: competitors are enemies.

When he expressed his desire to "track", the spies who wished their colleagues bad luck were naturally happy to help.

After chasing along the street for several hundred meters, Carl didn't find a single suspicious person.

Just as he was standing there pretending to be at a loss, waiting for those "helpful" spies to come to his aid, Lisanna actually ran over.

"Brother Karl! A guy who claims to be the owner of the carriage just came and said he wants to compensate us for our mental damages."

Hearing this plot development, Carl's mind was full of question marks.

'What is this charter?'

I returned to the restaurant entrance and sure enough, there was a businessman there dressed in luxurious clothes.

"I'm sorry, it was my momentary negligence that led to this. I will compensate you for your losses, please do me a favor."

The businessman kept a low profile.

This made Carl feel a little uncomfortable.

The wizard in charge of managing the artificial island arrived quickly. After dealing with related matters, the wizard asked Carl and Lisanna to return to the dormitory quickly.

Back in the dormitory, Karl felt something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.

He recalled his experience over and over again, even using his spiritual power.

It's true, after all this trouble, Carl actually found something in his memory! On the way of Carl tracking down the criminal, a person he had dealt with before appeared on the street.

"The detective from Sarn?"

After matching the passerby with the familiar detective he met in Sarn, Carl narrowed his eyes slightly and smelled a hint of conspiracy.

The psychic power also became active at this time, as if confirming that Carl's idea was correct.

Back when he was in Sarn, Carl tried his best to avoid too much contact with this detective.

I didn't expect that the other party would come to Akanix now.

"Did he join Breland's spy organization, or is it for some other reason? Never mind, let's fix the power armor first."

In the darkness of night, Carl began to assemble his power armor.

“Pah~”

In a room on the artificial island, the businessman who had looked weak, helpless and pitiful before was now slapping his subordinates with a gloomy face.

"I repeat! You are sent here! Your only mission is to please all the Akanix students you meet! Don't have your own little ideas!"

Turning around, he picked up a whip and whipped the two young men with skillful movements.

The two men had been beaten to pieces, with almost no intact skin left on their bodies.

One of them was the detective from San who had been discovered by Carl.

"Yes, I understand."

Responding to his superior in a hoarse voice, the detective who had been on the rise not long ago didn't understand why his life had suddenly turned cloudy.

First, the gang that supported him to enter the police station was uprooted, and then he himself was removed from the position of deputy director because of a minor mistake and sent here.

A series of misfortunes made this once powerful man feel resentful.

It was he who, together with his colleagues, attacked Karl's carriage.

He was even more impressed by Carl than Carl was by him.

Especially after he found out that Carl not only changed his female companion, but also looked very smug, he became even more jealous and resentful.

'No! I can't go on like this! I want to get back to the position I deserve, and then step by step, step by step, I want to reach the top! I want to be a big shot! A big shot that no one can ignore!'

Screaming in his heart, Totao stared at the ground with resentment in his eyes, not noticing that there was a person in the crowd being scolded by his boss who was looking at him with resentment.

Soon, everyone who had received the reprimand left the room, and the person who had been staring at Totao had changed into a different appearance when he left from a corner.

She walked to a weapons repair shop and said to the war terracotta warrior owner:

"Hong, I found the guy who killed Master."
