Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Both sides went on the alert simultaneously.

The movements of the other side were very adept, their coordination impeccably harmonious.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the basin, then scattered to hide in stealth, setting up a defense line, ready to counterattack.

Several others ascended into the sky at high speed, hovering above the two mountain peaks, ready to strike at any time.

Link saw a familiar figure.

“Do not attack rashly, only act upon my orders,”

He first issued commands to his two teams, emphasizing, “Did you understand?”

“Understood!”

Jasmine led the Brotherhood Group and Social Phobia Group in unison.

“Understood.”

Lanny Taylor was a half-step slower but also shouted out loudly.

But her ten team members did not respond in time, which made them seem very unpunctual.

This made Lanny slightly annoyed.

Link spoke again, shouting angrily, “Did you understand?”

At the same time, a chilling, intimidating aura emanated from him, enveloping the ten unclear figures.

“Understood!”

At this moment, Lutz Bailey and Bahmir Balves, who had been observing the explosion from afar, came to their senses first, leading their eight companions in a loud response.

They waved their hands forcefully, signaling their teams to spread out and be on alert.

Link operated his wristwatch a bit and sent out two private messages.

One to Elise, and one to Monroe Brisegio, the content was: Are you the ones I encountered?

Not much later, both replied almost simultaneously.

Elise sent back a single word, “Yes”.

Monroe replied: Yes. Collaborate? Or retreat?

The sensitivity and tension in their replies, as well as their cautious responses as if faced with a formidable enemy, allowed Link to make a judgment.

It appears that the other party has encountered something or is possibly being pursued by a formidable enemy.

A rather difficult choice was laid before Link.

In principle, to avoid trouble, Link should undoubtedly choose to retreat without hesitation.

But Link did not immediately make this decision.

If Elise and Team Monroe are indeed being pursued, if Link leads his team to retreat now, they could only return the way they came, not continuing forward.

Otherwise, they might very well collide head-on with the team pursuing Elise and Monroe.

They could end up being cannon fodder for Elise and Team Monroe.

“Wait.”

Link sent Monroe two more words in reply, then shared his deductions and worries with everyone, seeking their opinions once more.

“There’s nothing to hesitate about, we should cooperate with them.”

After hearing Link’s words, Lanny Taylor was the first to state her position.

She had her own set of reasoning.

Leaving a comfortable sandbar and mountain stream because of several cases of unknown individuals scouting, there definitely was no going back.

Now, they couldn’t go forwards either.

Stuck in the middle, it was awkward to either advance or retreat.

Other than cooperating with their counterparts from the North District, there were no other choices.

Jasmine only quietly said: “I’ll follow your lead.”

The Brotherhood Group and Social Phobia Group follow Link, while Team Lanny listens to Lanny.

Their opinion instantly unified.

Link scanned everyone’s faces, including the members of Team Lanny, absolutely no one was left out, he solemnly declared: “If that’s the case, we cooperate with them. However, everyone should be extra cautious, understood?”

“Understood!”

This time, everyone responded in unison.

They truly understood.

“Move.”

Link gave the order, taking the lead, and leading the two teams carefully toward the mountain basin.

Preparing to rendezvous with Elise and Team Monroe.

Just as they were about to enter the basin, Link’s steps momentarily faltered.

He quickly covered it up and continued marching forward.

Just now, it was as if someone had whispered in his ear, like a passing breeze, saying:

“You’re doing well.”
