Soon, the sound of knocking on the door could be heard. Simone waved her hand, and the courtyard door opened automatically. This door had been arranged by Bailey, and as long as one used their energy, it could be opened from the inside. Then, a well-built and seemingly kind old man walked in. Simone knew that his kindness was just a facade and that he was actually cunning and ruthless. She spoke first, "You've come." The great warlock walked in and looked at Simone as he said, "It seems like you've been waiting for me." Simone nodded. "Of course." She asked, "Did someone send you to seek revenge on me?" He nodded. "Yes. Judging by your appearance, is my disciple alright?" Simone replied, "He was almost killed by a death curse, but I saved him. When I left Cebros, he was injured by a death curse, but his life was unharmed." Just before the arrival of the great warlock, she had triggered the curse on him. Soon, the curse would take effect and torment him, gradually turning him into a vegetable. Naturally, it had nothing to do with her, who had already arrived in Cubilis. That old thing was still in Cebros, so everyone knew who was behind it. When the great warlock saw Simone sitting there waiting for him, he felt relieved. He roughly guessed that his son was still alive and asked, "How are you going to prove it?" Simone took out her phone and called the person arranged by Joseph. She asked the person to let the warlock answer the call. Soon, the warlock received the call. Simone handed the phone to the great warlock and said, "You can talk to your disciple yourself." The great warlock glanced at Simone with deep eyes and said, "You're quite impressive." In the eyes of the special department, she held a lot of influence. Simone smiled. "Thank you for the compliment!" Then, the great warlock took the phone and had a conversation with his son. The more they talked, the colder his expression became. After he hung up the phone, he didn't even have a smile on his face.That "old friend" dared to plot against them. Very well. The great warlock straightforwardly asked, "What do you want in order to release my disciple?" Simone and her team had protected his son from death and even arranged for him to fake his death and be protected separately. This was where negotiations could take place. This was not his territory, and there were people of equal strength to him. The special department was even more impossible for him to forcefully enter, so he still hoped for a peaceful resolution. Simone knew that this guy was clever. "You'll have to go to Cebros to see your disciple first and then talk to Mr. Presgrave." This old guy had a lot of valuable items, so of course he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make the other party suffer before his disciple was returned. It was evident that the old guy valued his disciple very much. It felt like it was not just about the disciple. Moreover, it was their fault in the first place, so it was necessary to exchange resources for people. The great warlock felt a bit frustrated. He knew that if he didn't make a big sacrifice this time, it would be impossible to bring his son back. He looked at Simone and said, "You must have taken my son to the special department." Simone raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I took him." "What? If he wants to kill me, can't I fight back?" She looked at him indifferently. "Are you trying to settle the score with me?" The old guy wouldn't scare her if he wanted to make a move. She also wanted to test the depth of the other party. After all, there was no deep-seated hatred, so they didn't need to fight to the death. The key was not to harm her pet snake. How else could she enjoy a high-protein meal? The great warlock saw that Simone not only wasn't afraid but instead had a strong desire to fight him. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This girl was either too ignorant or had some tricks up her sleeve. "Settling the score is not necessary, but since I'm already here, I would like to have a friendly match with you." He also wanted to test Simone's strength and teach her a lesson. Although it was his son who made the first move, he didn't care about that. All he knew was that his son was almost killed by being taken to the special department. If it weren't for Simone, he and his son wouldn't have been manipulated.So, he was angry at Simone. Simone could tell what the old guy was thinking. She knew that these people had no reason to listen. Their values and morals were nonexistent. She smiled on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes. "Alright, I haven't fought against a great warlock before, so please enlighten me." Both of them were decisive individuals, and they immediately started to take action. The great warlock attacked Simone with his sorcery first. However, she easily resolved it and emitted an aura of the Divine State. The great warlock's expression changed. "You have indeed reached this level. You are truly a genius among geniuses." No wonder she could withstand that person's death curse. He really wanted to destroy such a genius and turn her into his puppet, but this was Cubilis, which was that person's territory. So, he could only suppress this idea. Then, he raised his finger, and a flying head flew out of the leather bag that hung from his waist. The flying head had its eyes open with a fierce expression. And it emitted a chilling laughter, "Hehehe."Simone knew this was the art of flying heads. She remained calm and took out a talisman pen from her bag. She mobilized her inner energy and directly drew a talisman in the air in front of her. Then she flicked the completed talisman and successfully stopped the flying head from pouncing on her as it tried to bite her. Simone then pointed her finger in the direction of the flying head and said, "Freeze!" The ethereal talisman landed on the forehead of the flying head and immobilized it in mid-air. The great warlock's expression changed. "How can you draw such an ethereal talisman?" She had only recently entered the Divine State. This talent was truly terrifying. Simone smiled at him. "Did I scare you? I apologize for that." Although she apologized, she then drew another ethereal talisman and attacked the great warlock directly. The great warlock immediately took out a wooden puppet artifact to defend himself. Although the talisman dispersed, his artifact also shattered. The great warlock's face darkened, and he felt a sense of fear towards Simone.He had underestimated this girl. If he were to give up now, it would be too embarrassing. In that situation, he had no choice but to resort to his most proficient method. He chanted a series of strange spells. Suddenly, a swarm of insects emerged from the pouch around his waist. They scurried across the ground and approached Simone. Simone's eyes gleamed. This was the perfect meal for her pet snake. She smiled at the powerful sorcerer and said, "Thank you!" The sorcerer was puzzled by Simone's reaction. He had unleashed so many insects to attack her, so why was she expressing gratitude? But soon, he would find out the answer. A bright red light shot out from Simone's wrist. It rolled towards the ground, causing the pile of insects to disappear. Shortly after, another roll of crimson light shot out, making another pile vanish. The sorcerer was left speechless. He had been tricked.
