Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

The Room

I took the healing potions and lay down on the bed. As the healing energy flowed through my body, the searing pain was reduced. The internal injuries were beginning to heal.

Outside

Patrick, Otto, Hank, and Old Man Rock were standing there. Even the two monsters had come out as well. They were all worried.

At this moment, Manager Lara walked into the place. She arrived in front of the room. Upon seeing her, everyone sighed in relief.

“Don’t worry. They are gone. No one will cause trouble now,” she said to them.

Phew!

All of them breathed a sigh of relief.

“How is he?” she asked.

“He is resting now. He has consumed the healing potions,” Hank replied.

She nodded her head before going inside the room. She saw Vincent Carey lying on the bed. A hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

On the other hand, I felt her arrival. I opened my eyes and looked at her.

“Are you out of your mind?” she asked. “Why did you resist?”

“It’s good that there is a ban. No one is allowed to use magic spells. But it doesn’t mean that they can’t hurt you. Look at you now. The person who hit you was not Scott, but Isabella from the Silver Tower,” Lara said in a serious tone.

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows.

“Why did she want to help Scott?” I asked her.

“She is from the Dark Silver Faction. Everyone now knows that your alternate identity is a relative of mine. So she targeted me. They want me to stay neutral,” Lara replied.

I was not surprised. Then I thought of something and asked, “How did they leave?”

“Forbidden Wizard Erwin spoke to her. You should have seen her face; she was petrified. She made an apology before leaving.”

“When it comes to the Magic Lord Scott, after seeing me, he gave up the intention of troubling you,” she said with a smile.

“Lord Erwin,” I uttered. He had saved me again. “Thank him on my behalf,” I replied.

“I will, but what are you going to do now?” she asked. “It appears that they won’t stop. They will come up with new plans to target you. Why don’t you reveal your true identity? I think no one will dare to think about it then,” she replied.

A good idea came to my mind. I gave it some thought before discussing it with her.

A few minutes later, Lara said, “You want to use your original identity to buy the appraisal shop, and your alternative identity to work for your original identity?”

“Do you know the risk? Both can’t be present at the same time,” Lara asked in a surprised tone.

To be honest, she liked the idea. If Vincent Carey owned the shop, then no one would cause these small troubles. But he could face big attacks from the wizard families and the magic towers.

On the other hand, I felt this was the only way. Then I looked at her and said, “Why don’t you discuss it with Lord Erwin? I’m sure he would support the plan,” I added.

“Good, I’ll tell him. You should focus on recovering.” After saying that, she left the room.

She was planning to stay here for a couple of days. She then went to her room and made a call to Lord Erwin, but the call did not connect. She gave up after trying for a few minutes.

…

Meanwhile

The whole magic city and the surrounding satellite cities were talking about the Crystal City incident.

The Flame Elemental Tower had been targeting the appraisal shop without evidence. It happened for the second time. They didn’t know what the Silver Tower’s response would be.

…

Silver Tower

The following day, an important person returned to the organization. The person was none other than the Forbidden Wizard Charlotte.

Upon her return, she immediately contacted Manager Lara.

She was following the news as well and had heard about Vincent Carey’s new business. Lara answered the call and began to update her with the details.

A few minutes later, Charlotte left the shop. She took her flying car and was on her way to Crystal City. Her arrival and departure were quick.

The spies only knew someone had come out and left quickly; they didn’t have the time to connect the dots.

…

Crystal City – Shop

I recovered fully after consuming several high-grade potions. Fortunately, it was just a bodily injury.

If it had been a magic spell attack, it would have taken a couple of days to recover. I didn’t get out of bed yet.

I knew Manager Lara was staying here for a couple of days. Last night, I spent time formulating a new plan. I think it’s time to use my real identity.

If I roam around with my real identity, then the attention on the small shop will be reduced.

Then I collected my thoughts and began to observe my body. Seeing the progress, I took a few more hours of rest.

…

Outside

The shop was not open today. Yet the customers were coming to take a look. They wanted to know about the shop owner Frank’s health condition.

Some of the media people had tried to enter, but they were stopped at the gate. The guards were not letting them enter. All of them were curious about the appraisal shop.

At this time, the city officials arrived. They were none other than Elder Blake and his officials. He wanted to know about the situation as well.

Last night, he didn’t have a proper talk with Manager Lara. He wanted to ease the tension, so he came to the mansion.

He saw the staff members and made his request to meet Manager Lara. He didn’t even ask about the shop owner, Frank.

Manager Lara was in the gallery room office. She was excited for Lord Charlotte’s arrival. She knew Lord Charlotte was coming to see Vincent Carey.

She had talked with Lord Erwin early this morning, and he had promised to swing by, so her mood was bright.

Just then, Hank knocked on the door. She turned towards him and nodded her head.

Creak!

Hank walked in and said, “Elder Blake wants to see you.”

“Okay,” she replied.

Hank then left the room to bring the person in.
