章 582: Suppressing the Curtained World-02

"What do you mean, why am I doing this? Isn't it obvious? I'm arming the local authorities with weapons that can neutralize mana usage to enable them to suppress troublemakers," Daniel answered with a knowing smile.

"I know that! But you're a mage yourself, and you're helping ordinary people!? This is no different than betrayal! Are you aware of what you've done?" the man roared, questioning Daniel's motives.

"Yes! That's right!"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Traitor!"

At this point, many others joined in, berating Daniel without restraint, as if he had committed an unforgivable act against both god and man.

"What's your name?" Daniel asked, his voice devoid of warmth.

"Theodore Jefferson," the man replied fearlessly. "Why? Are you going to use your power to suppress me? I'll have you know, I'm just a lone mage without any family or background. I don't have anyone behind me, so I'm not afraid of any retaliation!" he said with bravado.
