Fire Mage

Chapter 123: Framing Others

In Professor Robert's appearance, Charles stealthily walked out of 11C Orchard Street while covering his head with a black hood and went to the South Borough's Main Street.

Following that, he made a few turns and soon entered the Slum Borough.

His next destination was Groove Street!

That's where he 'coincidentally' met the blonde-haired man!

Within a few minutes, Charles soon arrived at the place where he saw the blonde-haired man a day ago and noticed that the street was bustling with life.

Many roadside stalls were still open, and the shopkeepers were selling packed foods, fruits, and dresses while shouting here and there.

Charles even saw some customers arguing with shopkeepers over the price and felt amused.

He watched their arguments in a daze and soon bumped into a grey-robed man.

He had short whirly blonde hair, fair skin, monolid hazel eyes, and a heart-shaped face!

Charles's heart skipped a beat for a moment!

'He came so soon?' He hurriedly gave an apology and started walking in the opposite direction while averting his gaze.

In the meantime, in male appearance, Lydia flipped the 'Destiny Coin' continuously and searched the surrounding areas like a hawk. She only glanced at the red-robed old man in confusion and then turned her attention to the surroundings.

'Where are you, Charles?' Her eyes darted towards the nearby fruit shops, then towards the food stalls, and soon moved towards the passers-by. She continued to walk on the street and soon stopped at the street junction.

'It seems this 'Charles' really hid very well. Hmm, His Highness also told me that he is good at disguising.' She felt a headache as she realized how tricky this guy was.

'It has been two months since I came to this City. But I haven't found a single clue about the target.' She heaved a heavy sigh and soon frowned.

'Should I ask those lunatics' help?' She thought of the Divine Order members hiding in the Chester City and soon shook her head.

'No, those guys are not trustworthy.'

After thinking for a moment, she soon turned around and returned to her home.

…

In the meantime, Charles made a few turns and soon went towards Mystics' Borough while leaving a few trails. Once he entered Mystics' Borough, he directly went to Hope Street and completely erased his trails.

'Hehe, poor professor, please take the position of the sacrificial pawn.' Charles muttered to himself as he stared at a particular three-storied house for a second and soon went in a different direction in his concealed form.

Following that, he made another few turns and left the Mystics' Borough.

Then, he directly went to Nobles' Borough and went to Cedar Street in his original appearance.

'Hmm, my today's target is Baron Greyson's wife. But unlike last time, I have to shave her head and make her bald.' Even Charles felt sorry for this unknown Baron's wife.

'But to create a strong enmity between two nobles, I need to do this job.' He said to himself.

A few months, a big quarrel happened between Viscount Austin's daughter and Baron Greyson's wife when they were in a banquet. At first, the argument was mainly about who had more beautiful jewels and dresses.

Then it came to their personal beauty.

Unfortunate for Viscount's daughter Caroline, Baron's wife Maria was a renowned beauty in the whole nobles' circle, so most of the noble ladies sided with Maria and agreed that she was prettier than Caroline.

Angered by the sudden turn of events, Austin's daughter Caroline made a challenge in front of everyone that she would take something precious from Baron's wife Maria one day.

After that incident, both noble houses' relationship became distant, and various odd rumors started to appear about Caroline's challenge.

'Hehe, who cares about her challenge? As long as I fuel the enmity, both houses will start fighting in secret.' He let out a chuckle and started walking towards 56D Cedar Street.

That's where Baron Greyson's mansion was located.

Once he arrived beside the compound wall, he placed his hand on the wall and skilfully jumped to the other side.

Then, he hid his body in the compound wall's shadow and waited patiently.

Three hours later, he saw the lamplights began to vanish one by one in the mansion and started to move towards the mansion.

Although a few guards stood outside at the entrance, he didn't face any difficulty at all.

He leisurely walked past those guards in his concealed form, entered the red-carpeted reception hall, and went to the second floor through the bifurcated stairs.

He then moved to the right side corridor and soon appeared in front of the master bedroom.

In a few seconds, he stealthily unlocked the door and soon saw a couple was sleeping nakedly in a four-poster bed.

One was a curly blonde-haired woman in her late twenties, while the other was a fat brown-haired man in his late fifties. Charles's gaze soon moved towards her plump buttocks and then towards her medium-sized round melons.

'She is indeed beautiful. No, beautiful should be an understatement.' Envy appeared on his face.

It was understandable. Even in his previous life, he never touched a girl and died a virgin.

But when seeing a 60-year-old man sleeping with a gorgeous woman, Charles felt shame and embarrassment.

But that envy emotion appeared only for a moment and soon disappeared from his heart.

'I should focus on my job. Humph, how could this mere beauty obstruct my path to become an omnipotent one? In twenty years, wrinkles started to appear on her body and she will turn into an old woman.' He snorted inwardly.

Then, he took out a potion vial, opened the tap, and tossed it towards them.

The vial flew towards their heads at a fast speed and soon stopped in mid-air.

In a second, a purplish smoke came out from the vial and soon entered their nostrils.

Charles soon heard snorting sounds from the couple and grinned.

'Time to act.' He went near the bed, took out a small blade from his space ring, start shaving Maria's head.

Ten minutes later, he finished his work and soon shifted his gaze towards the fat naked man.

A mischievous smile appeared on his face as he zeroed his attention on his straight brown hair.

Twenty minutes later, Charles stealthily walked out of the bedroom, leaving a bald head naked couple inside.

He then stealthily went to the first floor and soon walked out of the mansion. After that, he once again made a detour and went back to 11C Orchard Street.

…

The next morning.

A man's raging voice and a woman's screech echoed in Baron's mansion!

In an hour, rumors about Baron Greyson and his wife losing their hair started to spread like wildfire.

No one knew who did such a cruel thing to Baron and his wife, but all of the nobles turned their attention towards Viscount Austin's daughter!

Even Viscount began to suspect his daughter!

But even if his daughter had done such a shameful act, Viscount would never agree to it openly.

With no other choice, he made a statement claiming that he or his daughter were framed and told Baron not to suspect them.

His rash announcement instead brought more suspicions from all other sides!

Nobles, commoners, even mages began to feel suspicious about his announcement!

Viscount Austin's household reputation went down in one statement, and he and his daughter became despicable and a petty person in everyone's eyes!

On the other hand, Baron and his beautiful bald wife became a laughing stock in the nobles' circle!

…

Unaware of the commotion happening in Nobles' Borough, Charles went to the underground basement hall and started his work to create a Fate Swap spell matrix.

To his surprise, he managed to create the first Fate Swap spell Matrix by the end of the day and got relieved.

After that, he started to act on his own plan.

First, he went to Groove Street and soon found out more secrets about Lydia.

Then, he made a detailed plan and acted accordingly.

Once in a week, Charles changed his appearance into Professor Robert's one and started to appear in front of Lydia 'coincidentally.'

At first, Lydia got confused.

Because Charles's and Professor Robert's appearances, skin tone, body size were the complete opposite, so she thought that it might really be a coincidence.

But as time passes, she also began to suspect Professor Robert's identity!

On February 20th, she contacted the Red Prince and made a detailed report about her discovery. She told him that Charles might have killed Professor Robert in secret and took his identity!

On the other hand, Charles spent most of his time stealing different artifacts from nobles, merchants, gang leaders and turned the important item into gold coins!

By the end of February, Charles finally finished his 'stealing' task and stole a total of 150 precious materials from different persons. Among the materials, there were even two extraordinary artifacts and five precious materials!

All these artifacts were very precious to their owners and held some great history.

Not only that, but he also did some scheming and created conflicts between few more noble houses!

Although Charles mange to finish his task, he also started to feel uneasy these days.
