Chapter 477: A Cornered Dog Jumps Over the Wall (Seeking Subscription)
Lando's expression was grave. He was acutely aware that the appearance of the absolute magic isolation powder on the continent would not be a trivial matter, and he couldn't fathom how many mages would fall victim to it.
Moreover, he believed that Zhao Hai would not deceive him. Although Zhao Hai had previously expressed some discontent with the Karlqi Family, Lando could see that Zhao Hai genuinely cared for Meigen. The issue of the absolute magic isolation powder undoubtedly related to every mage on the continent, whether they were ordinary mages, dark mages, or even light mages. This powder was undoubtedly something that threatened the lives of all mages.
Lando nodded and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "I estimate that the Robert Family is finished. Tonight, aside from Karsen City, their businesses throughout the Roson Empire will be attacked, and I guarantee they won't be left with even a single copper coin. Their losses will be substantial. If you, Grandfather, handle this matter, the Karlqi Family might be able to take over the Robert Family's businesses entirely."
As Zhao Hai spoke, he pointed at the bag containing the absolute magic isolation powder at his feet. At that moment, Third Granduncle interjected, "Wait, if they really use the absolute magic isolation powder against you, how come you're unaffected?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "The absolute magic isolation powder has no effect on me."
Third Granduncle scoffed, "That means the absolute magic isolation powder is fake. Otherwise, why would it have no effect?"
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Whether it's fake or not, Third Granduncle, you can test it yourself. People on the continent used to say that Void Water was unsolvable, yet here I am, alive and well."
Upon hearing this, Third Granduncle was at a loss for words, while Lando, being a cautious man, immediately turned to Smith and said, "Xiao Er, get someone to test it and see if this stuff is real. If it is, then even the divine won't save the Robert Family."
Zhao Hai interjected, "Grandfather, I think it's best if we keep the Robert Family under surveillance. If they realize their plan against me has failed, they might think that their possession of the absolute magic isolation powder has been exposed. If they try to flee, it could become a huge problem."
Lando was taken aback, then quickly nodded, "Right, Little Hai is right. Boss, you need to deploy our dark guards immediately and keep a close watch on the Robert Family."
Peter responded affirmatively and went to make arrangements. At that moment, the person Smith had found arrived—a side branch offering from the family, an eighth-level dark mage. While he held no authority, he was absolutely trustworthy.
After the man entered and greeted Lando and the others, Lando instructed him to stand still. Smith personally took the bag of absolute magic isolation powder and scattered it around the man. The moment Smith opened the bag, he knew the powder was real because he immediately felt the magical elements around him become sluggish—something he had never encountered before.
However, to test the potency of the absolute magic isolation powder, Smith continued to sprinkle the powder around the man. Under the watchful eyes of Lando and the others, the man attempted to cast magic. The first ordinary dark magic spell was still possible but quite laborious. By the second attempt, he couldn't cast at all, and his face turned pale with fright.
Seeing this, Lando and the others naturally no longer doubted the authenticity of the absolute magic isolation powder. Zhao Hai carefully put away the powder and tied the bag shut. After finishing these tasks, everyone in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lando's expression turned severe. He turned to Smith and said, "Xiao Er, immediately notify everyone in the family to prepare for battle to prevent the Robert Family from acting in desperation."
