章節 257: Chapter 257: Captured
Drake took a few steps forward, then snapped his fingers. David, who was suspended in mid-air, instantly fell with a loud thud.
"Bang!"
The heavy landing produced a painful scream from David.
Turning around, Drake looked at David, who was trying to get up from the ground, and said, "Alright, listen to me."
"Use your signature spell against me, your most powerful magic."
"Come on, show me that ring of yours."
David didn't refuse and quickly pulled out the ring from his pocket, placing it on his finger.
"There, good boy!"
Drake extended his arms, preparing for David's ultimate move.
"Okay, as you requested."
David struck a pose as if launching a plasma lightning ball (similar to the Kamehameha pose from Dragon Ball) towards Drake.
Drake mimicked David's movements, assuming a wounded posture and groaning, "Oh!"
However, David didn't successfully shoot out the lightning ball.
Drake chuckled, "It's alright, I was just teasing you, no response at all."
Seeing this, David abandoned his combat stance with a helpless expression.
Drake laughed, "Is there distracting thoughts on your mind?"
David replied, "Yes."
After a moment of contemplation, Drake said, "Because you're nervous, I get it, pressure."
David defended himself, "That's not it, I'm just a rookie."
Drake rolled his eyes, looking at David like he was incredibly foolish, then said, "You're wearing the ring, take it off."
David puzzledly asked, "Take off the ring?"
Drake affirmed, "Yes, take it off."
Listening to everything happening inside, Maxim, who couldn't stand it anymore, walked in and shouted, "Enough."
"Fool, go guard the door!"
Drake turned to see Maxim and obediently did as told, walking towards the door.
Maxim approached, carefully scrutinizing David. This guy, taken in as Balthazar's apprentice, particularly wrinkled his brows when he saw the ring on David's finger.
David, seeing Maxim, knew things weren't good and immediately ran outside.
Seeing David running towards the door, Maxim's wand glowed, and with a slight gesture, David was yanked backward.
"Oh no!"
Although David resisted vigorously, he was still pulled back and brought in front of Maxim.
"Hi, David."
"Listen, I could kill you right now."
"Right here in this bathroom. Although it's not glorious, if you tell me where the Matryoshka is, maybe I'll spare your life."
Terrified, David looked at Maxim, "I don't know."
Maxim, carefully studying David's eyes and facial expressions, then slightly disappointed, said, "It seems you genuinely don't know."
"If I can't get any information, keeping you alive as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Matryoshka that's holding Morgana may be useful."
As he spoke, Maxim took out a magical object from his pocket, a completely black item, resembling a Russian Matryoshka doll.
Maxim opened the lid of the Matryoshka, pointed his wand at David, and in an instant, David was sealed inside.
As Maxim closed the Matryoshka, the completely black Matryoshka now had an image—a terrified David.
Having done all this, Maxim walked out of the bathroom and said, "The matters here are resolved. Let's check if we can use his apprentice to exchange for the Matryoshka in Balthazar's possession."
"The person I asked you to investigate, did you find any information? The new Supreme Merlin that appeared."
The two of them approached the car, and Drake handed Maxim a tablet. With a somewhat strange expression, he spoke, "Are you sure you haven't mistaken the person?"
Maxim furrowed his brow slightly and said, "I drew the portrait myself. How could I possibly make a mistake?"
Looking at the paused video on the tablet, Maxim clicked to play it. The video displayed the battle scene of Charles against Abomination and the frontal view video of Charles at the press conference.
After watching these two short videos, Maxim tossed the tablet onto a nearby seat and leaned back, closing his eyes.
"The Ninja Immortal, Supreme Merlin, interesting, very interesting."
"It seems, Balthazar, you've indeed found a powerful successor for Merlin."
"I thought I might have remembered wrong initially. Ten years ago, it was David who used the ring to release me. Ten years later, the owner of the ring has changed."
"So, it's because you found a better option. Two seeds of Supreme Merlin?"
…
On the other side-
Charles had a good experience in the training room, testing the amplification effect of the Dragon Ring and the basic Ninjutsu.
In the end, Charles decided to use the Dragon Ring as an amplification equipment. After all, it had greater power and a stronger effect.
As for the instant casting issue, Charles believed that his future self could clap his hands and summon things just like Hashirama.
At this moment, his phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Ginny, Charles answered it directly.
"Hi, Ginny!"
"Boss, the two weapons I crafted for you are ready. Do you want them delivered, or would you like to come and see them yourself?"
Thinking about the sixteen-meter-long short knife he had crafted for Gamakichi, Charles pondered for a moment before saying, "Send the address to John. I'll have him take me to see it. If they're suitable, I'll take them with me."
"Alright, Boss."
Charles got up and walked out of the training room, returning to his room. After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, he went downstairs.
When he reached the ground floor, he already saw John waiting in the lounge area.
Seeing Charles coming down, John immediately stood up and walked over, saying, "Boss, are we heading out now?"
Charles nodded and said, "Let's go!"
…
On the other side-
Maxim and Drake returned to their residence. Maxim immediately started setting up various traps in the room.
Hungarian Mirror Prison, Persian Quicksand Carpet, and other traps that could entangle people—Maxim arranged them all.
After completing all this, Maxim took out a blank letter and wrote on it.
Balthazar, David is in my hands. He is your disciple, and I know he is also one of Merlin's seeds.
Anyone who can wear the Merlin Ring must have the bloodline of Merlin. If you don't want your disciple and Merlin's bloodline to perish, bring the Matryoshka to the specified location for an exchange by 8 p.m. tonight.
Otherwise, you will lose this lovely disciple.
Maxim placed the letter into an envelope, snapped his fingers, and an owl flew into the room through the window. The owl picked up Maxim's letter and flew away directly.
