Chapter 143 Reward

The man's speed was like a gust of wind, but halfway he was hit by a beam of red light, an explosion sounded, and the hooded wizard took a few steps back.

He didn't stop, but continued to move forward. There was another red light, and he was knocked back by the explosion again, but he still rushed towards Xing Ze unremittingly.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Xing Ze completed his magic. He glanced gratefully at Ellie not far away.

As the last spell was uttered, the snow on the ground gathered into a huge ice ball, covered with ice spikes.

"Happy New Year, bastard." Xing Ze cursed. The ice ball rolled up, and the hooded wizard stopped forcibly. He retreated sharply, and then jumped to the side to avoid the incoming ice ball.

Xing Ze waved his magic wand, and the ice ball changed its direction and continued to chase the wizard.

The wizard did not continue to evade, but suddenly disappeared. The next second, he appeared behind Xing Ze.

Ellie's magic saved Xing Ze's life again. All her petrification spells hit the wizard. Although it had little effect, Xing Ze successfully avoided the wizard's attack.

The ice ball rumbled towards him. Xing Ze raised his wand, and the ice ball jumped over his head and hit the wizard directly, causing the exploding ice cubes to scatter in all directions.

Did you run away? Looking at the empty ground, Xing Ze thought to himself. Just to be sure, he cast a scouting spell and found no invisible wizard.

Then, he looked at Ellie who was walking over. The expression on her face was as cold as the ice around her.

…

"Listen to me," Xing Ze asked Ace's mother, "Is there anywhere else you can go?"

Mrs. Skrtel was confused. She was obviously suspicious of the two wizards brought back by her son, and one of the wizards asked them to leave Ravenska Village immediately.

"Who are you, sir?" she asked. "I have to wait here for news about my husband."

"We have to leave," Ace agreed.

"Ace, shut up! Have you done something good again?" Mrs. Skrtel asked with her hands on her hips, "For Merlin's sake, your father just had an accident, and you can't understand why you can't calm down?"

Just as Xing Ze was about to explain, Ellie next to him stepped forward and said, "Dear Madam, I'm afraid it will take some time to explain this matter. I think you are probably not interested in hearing this.

"But believe me, this is good for you. If you have any doubts, then I am willing to guarantee the reputation of the family." Ellie took out a business card from the pocket of her robe.

Mrs. Skrtel took the business card, looked at it, and then exclaimed: "Are you, are you from the Shafiq family? Oh, please forgive me, madam, I, I..."

"No, no, why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong." Ellie waved her hand, "My companions think you are in danger. So please leave as soon as possible."

"Of course, of course, we'll leave immediately." Mrs. Skrtel nodded, and then called to Ace: "Pack your things and let your brother get ready too."

Looking at the busy family, Xing Ze picked a corner out of the way and waited quietly.

"Tell me, what did you do?"

What has to come has to come. Faced with Ellie's question, he shrugged and said, "I was invited to a private party. Then you saw it, a mysterious wizard attacked me."

Having said this, Xing Ze saluted Ali Shafik exaggeratedly, "I want to thank you, Miss Shafik. Whether it was the previous rescue or the help just now."

"I don't need any false thanks. I need the truth, Xing Ze. Attending a party? So, knocking out the villa security guard is part of the party?

"Or is the theme of the party going to be educating the Mendez brat and, incidentally, his friends?"

"Are you following me?" Xing Ze said with a smile, "A lady who understands etiquette wouldn't do such a thing?"

"My patience, Xing Ze, my patience is limited." Ai Li said coldly.

"Okay, okay. Have you read today's newspaper?"

Ellie nodded impatiently.

"Then you must know that a murder occurred here." Xing Ze put away his cynical expression, "I'm here for this matter. So, Miss Shafik, why are you following me?"

"I didn't follow you, I just happened to find you. You know, Xing Ze? Your sneaky appearance can easily be misunderstood."

"This doesn't constitute a reason for you to follow me."

"Indeed." Ellie shifted her weight to her left foot, "I came here also for the murder case."

"Do you think it was the mysterious person who did it?"

"I'm not sure yet. If I could get into the office building and take a look, I might be able to find out."

Xing Ze smiled and encouraged: "Then why not go? It shouldn't be difficult to get in with your family's status."

The corners of Ellie's lips curled up slightly, "Don't think of me as a fool, Xing Ze. Those Aurors will notify my father as soon as possible, and my father, I'm afraid, will never let me get involved in this matter."

"Maybe you should listen to your father."

"Oh, it's very interesting. What did my father promise you? To ask you to speak for him like this?"

Xing Ze turned his face and did not answer the question.

"I won't force you to answer, but listen up, Xing Ze. It's time for you to be paid."

"Remuneration?" Xing Ze looked surprised.

"Of course, I provided you with the information you wanted, saved your life, and just helped you. Merlin's beard, you don't think these are free, do you? Then you are wrong.

"The Shafik family never does business at a loss. Although I often give money to beggars, because doing so will make me feel satisfied. But you are not a beggar, Xing Ze.

"Helping you will not give me spiritual satisfaction. So I have to charge you the necessary compensation, just the necessary. You should be glad that I am a generous person

"Ah, don't interrupt, interrupting a lady is not a gentleman's behavior. To sum up, no matter what my father gave you, I am afraid it is not as good as what I gave you, so you understand what to do? "

Xing Ze's mouth twitched slightly. Ali Shafik had been so cooperative all along. It turned out that she was waiting to settle accounts with him in the autumn harvest.

But could it be that she had anticipated her father's means? So she had been waiting for the right opportunity to negotiate with me?

Thinking of this, Xing Ze couldn't help but frowned. For Merlin's sake. If this is true, he really underestimated this woman.

"I don't understand, Miss Shafik, what do you want me to do?"

"I expected your stupidity, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Ali said slowly, "It's very simple. No matter what you are investigating, you have to let me join.

"As for my father, I hope your lying skills are good enough. Yes, I can probably guess what agreement you and my father have reached. He asked you to monitor me, right? Just like Barrow Foley."

After saying this, Ali raised her eyebrows and looked at Xing Ze with a winner's smile on her face. If you put aside what she just said, the smile is unusually beautiful and moving.
