Chapter 67: A Clever Scheme
Hal left the hotel, a not-so-little-anymore black-furred wolf cub trailing behind him, its tail wagging happily as if free of all worries.
It wasn’t immediately after he left the accommodations establishment, but it also didn’t take long for him to notice that he was being followed, just as he expected.
He was certain that the bastards had no idea if he was actually Joker.
Their plan was simply to abuse their money and manpower, tailing everyone who resembled the celebrated young arcanist to slowly uncover his identity.
Some factions might even resort to forceful methods.
’Haah...this would be quite the long game...’ Hal inwardly sighed.
The system inventory would allow him to significantly lessen their suspicions.
However, he wasn’t sure how long it would take for them to completely stop following him around.
’No matter...as long as I can delay them from using forceful methods...’
He will inevitably grow stronger as time passes.
Besides, if he made it to the Arcana Primis Cup and won the entire thing, they would be forced to drop their suspicions of him being Joker, since it was publicly acknowledged as impossible to be a genius in both combat and artifact crafting.
