MIGHT AS WELL BE OP
Chapter 120: Handled

Anthony cancelled the summoning spell as the entire world returned to normal.

But those who died stayed dead, those who paid a permanent price for trying to spy didn't get any compensation.

Anthony's footsteps echoed as he walked to Meek and his bodyguard as they stayed pinned to the ground.

Anthony had already used Authority of information to replace out about the assassination and Meek's thoughts and everything.

And Anthony complimented Meek from the bottom of his heart.

A man who could still keep calm and think straight in the face of a life changing offer was no ordinary person.

Anthony stood in front of Meek as they both stared into each other's eyes with different thoughts and emotions flashing the eyes.

Anthony's eyes still calm like a lake looked at Meek calmly with no thoughts in his mind except the initial compliment.

Meek still gazing at Anthony with various thoughts flashing his mind and eyes.

He waited on the ground for Anthony's verdict.

Even though the pressure has been lifted, Meek dared not stand up, he stayed on the ground and stared at Anthony.

Even Meek's bodyguard didn't dare to get up and confront Anthony as fear was still ever so present in his heart.

The next second, space shook again as it broke like a glass as the void became visible.

Anthony controlled the void and formed a barrier covering him, Meek and his bodyguard.

Although Anthony's family had seen everything that happened from the day the mission begun till now, Anthony didn't hide anything just because they were watching.

But he what he wanted to do this time he needed to hide it.

Meek's face contorted as the void bent to Anthony's will.

Various ways to die flashed Meek's mind, but he didn't speak and just kept watching.

As the void shield formed everywhere became pitch black and gave a weird feeling but weirdly Meek could still see.

Anthony stood in front of the both of them and said calmly.

"Normally I would kill you both, but don't worry, I won't as I have nothing to cover up or anything like that"

Normally Anthony would just kill these two people and be done with it.

But if he kills Meek and his bodyguard who would pay the 100 million Academy points for the reward.

If Meek dies its already considered a mission failure since you couldn't protect what you were meant to.

Also it is worthy to note that Meek's payment for the mission didn't actually reach 100 million points.

It is the Academy that buffs up these rewards also making the top 10 impossible mission even more dazzling and dangerous.

So if Meek dies, although Anthony came back alive, all the stress he went through for a month would just become pointless.

And most of all it would considered a failed mission thereby crumbling the 'invincible' persona he has been cultivating since he entered the Academy.

So for the sake of this, he needs Meek alive and well.

But that doesn't mean he won't do something else entirely.

He brought up a mana contract.

He stated conditions that Meek or his bodyguard can't say anything about what happened here to anyone in whatever way of form.

Anthony even added that he can't even say anything about him in his dreams or sleep.

Anthony had read too many Chinese novels to know that some of them had the ability to enter people's dreams then discuss with that person.

Then he added that even if after Meek has died and he was even reincarnated or a necromancer used his soul and turned him into an undead, Meek still won't be able to say anything about him.

Anthony left no loopholes in the contract.

After Meek signed the contract, he heaved a sigh of relief.

'At least I won't die'

Meek thought.

Before he could drown in this new peaceful feeling, Anthony placed his hands on Meek and his bodyguards' heads.

Then he used his All seeing eyes to manipulate both of their memories.

Anthony left everything present as it is but removed the part about his summoning magic and replaced with it something else entirely.

Then he also added a memory fragment where they were also affected and felt the world's feelings at that time.

Anthony nodded as soon as he was done then removed his hands from their heads.

They both felt nothing wrong at all, they didn't know why Anthony put his hands on their heads but they didn't think much about it as a beast in a human skin was standing in front of them.

Anthony manipulated their memories because of those who can read minds can easily bypass the mana contract.

This was the reason Anthony set up the void barrier.

To hide his ability to change and manipulate memories.

He didn't want to know how his family would react to this.

This was a fearsome power on a certain scale.

As Anthony was done manipulating their memories, he said to Meek.

"Notify those guilds that took the mission that the mission is complete three days from now, don't bother trying to increase the payment you set for the mission, or it might look suspicious"

Anthony knew that Meek might leave here and decide to increase the limit of the original payment required for his services out of fear.

This will raise a lot of eyebrows since the team was wiped out and only Anthony remained alive.

Although he is strong and has his family to hold the sky if the something happened, that doesn't mean he would spend his time listening to every fly buzz around or create unnecessary trouble in arrogance.

These types of moves were left for arrogant young masters.

Meek looked at Anthony confused when he heard what Anthony said.

'How am I supposed to notify those organisations if we haven't even gotten back to the city'

Meek thought as it would take more than three days to complete their journey.

Anthony seeing the confusion on Meek's face just said

"Don't think too much about it"

Then he waved his hand and space bent as a portal opened up directly under their feet.

They both fell into the portal before they could even react.

Anthony had sent them directly to City M using the portal.

He removed the void barrier and only he remained at this moment instead of three.

Anthony stood there for a minute without saying anything.

He then sighed.

'It seems Mom, Dad and grandfather and grandmother are trying to hide to the end'

Anthony thought as he shook his head with a smile.

He then looked in their direction, staring directly at them and said.

"Don't you think it's time to stop hiding, you all have been following me since the very beginning, you can come out now"
