Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 420

Chapter 418: Eric Loses All Ghostwriting

In the White Dragon Tower, Eric has an independent office and an independent research group in the White Dragon Magic Gem University. Of course, the wizards in these research groups are basically in cahoots with him.

At this moment, Eric slammed the table. His pupils turned pure black, and demonic patterns appeared on his skin. A vast dark energy, centered around him, enveloped the surroundings. The demonic pressure transformed into dark, swallowing holes, from which scorpion-like tails stretched out, attempting to drag everything around them in.

In fact, many tables and equipment in the entire office were directly sucked into the dark cave by the scorpion’s tail and suppressed by the heavy dark energy in the dark cave.

The Scorpion Girl bloodline of the Plutarch family can create dark caves. The inside of the dark caves is a place where dark energy is highly condensed. Therefore, the magic pressure there will become extremely exaggerated. The magic pressure itself will be amplified ten times or even twenty times there, and then form a force like gravity, which will crush the wizards or objects involved in it.

It is said that the Dark Cave Scorpion Girl developed by the great wizard Sura can create a dark cave that amplifies her own magic pressure a hundred times. Once that dark cave is formed, the result will be the destruction of the world.

At that time, Eric was extremely angry. Even many of his wizard confidants and friends around him wanted to persuade him to stay calm and not destroy the office, but there was nothing they could do.

Many magical items that people placed in the office were directly sucked into Eric’s dark hole and destroyed.

Waves of magical energy were released from the dark hole. Those were the magical fluctuations caused by the destroyed magical items, thus offsetting the dark hole and causing Eric’s dark hole to disappear.

Eric finally calmed down a bit. “Damn Locke Augustine! A mere outsider, yet he’s so arrogant in our Plutarch family. He’s just a common wizard, what’s the difference between him and those lowly commoners?”

“He actually had the audacity to drag one of my regular article writers into his ridiculous research group.”

“I didn’t even find out until a week later. No wonder the ghostwriter didn’t even contact me once during that week.” A chilling look crossed Eric’s face. “Damn that ghostwriter! Did he think he’d found a new backer? He’s quite useful and a quiet guy, and he’s been listening to me more and more lately. Why would he do something like this out of the blue? He must have been instigated by that Augustine.”

Eric’s cousin, Julian Plutarch, said, “What can we do about it? He’s now a favorite of the acting head of the family, and he’s specifically setting up projects to make money for Alicia. Look, they’re planning to organize this Yunze Cup recently, a magical plant competition I’ve never heard of before. Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to make money for Alicia?”

Eric’s eyes flashed with anger. “What’s the big deal? My son is getting married to a witch from the Basil family soon. After the wedding, I’ll have another Jackal Blood Refining Factory. It’s a first-level, rare bloodline transformation and manufacturing factory, a key asset of our Plutarch family. Once I have this Jackal Blood Refining Factory, it’s worth more than all ten projects he and Alicia have come up with.”

Eric’s face darkened at the thought of Locke snatching the ghostwriter from him. “Forget it. I’ll deal with that little yellow-haired girl after I take her down, then I’ll settle this matter with that wizard from the outside world.”

Eric originally wanted to use his power to transfer Montgomery back from Locke’s research group, but he suddenly remembered the scene of Locke’s last visit, and he was immediately frightened, so he gave up the idea.

“I have plenty of ghostwriters, so I don’t need him. There are civilian wizards willing to serve me in exchange for those ridiculous resources that flow through my fingers.” Eric sat back and nodded slightly to the wizards in the office. “Sorry, everyone, I really lost my composure just now.”

The wizards didn’t know what to say and could only pretend that everything was normal.

Eric said to Julian, “Those civilian wizards are easy to use. They don’t have big appetites and are easily satisfied. I just give them a little something and they’ll be grateful to me. I have article writing services, and I plan to publish several more A-level articles for the association this year. I also have a project related to hemology that my ghostwriter is responsible for. If she can produce results this year, I think I can get an S-level article related to hemology.”

Eric smiled and said, “When the time comes, I can use this S-rank article as a pretext to attract a large amount of family funds, and also get a large sum of money from that yellow-haired girl. With this money, I can buy people’s hearts.”

“It’s far from a little girl’s turn to be in charge of the Plutarch family. By the way, recently my sister seems to want to persuade Alicia to ask her brothers, especially her eldest brother, for help. Hahahaha, my eldest nephew is a fool.” Eric said with a smile.

The next moment, a first-class wizard apprentice delivered several letters to his desk.

Eric glanced at the letter and immediately stood up anxiously. He fell into a rage again, and the magic pattern of the scorpion woman on his body was faintly visible. “Damn it, that guy Augustine, is he deliberately targeting me?”

Julian asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”

Eric was furious and ready to leave the office to confront Locke. “That guy not only stole one of my ghostwriters, but also two others. One of them is the witch I just mentioned, the one who wrote my S-rank article.”

“That witch isn’t even a breeder, she’s a blood refiner.”

“Is Alicia declaring war on me? She’s actually stolen almost all of my writing.” Eric’s eyes flashed with rage. “Without these ghostwriters, how can I produce high-quality articles? Even though those three are civilian wizards, they’re certainly useful. They write all my articles for me.”

He walked to the door, suddenly stopped, looked at Julian, and said, “Julian, why didn’t you stop me?”

Julian looked confused. “Why should I stop you, cousin?”

Eric thought of Locke’s icy magical pressure and his indifferent eyes that were comparable to those of a dark wizard. The way he looked at him was as if he was not looking at a distinguished first-ring wizard, but a stray dog.

Therefore, Eric thought for a moment and decided not to go to Locke. “Forget it, there’s no need to engage in v*olence with those civilian wizards. Wait until that civilian wizard’s projects fail, his prestige plummets, and the wizards of the Plutarch family see his true colors. That’s when I’ll settle accounts with him.”

Eric frowned and said, “This year, I don’t have anyone writing for me anymore. It will take time to train new ghostwriters.”

“Why is it that ever since Locke Augustine came to the Plutarch family, as a member of the Plutarch family and the master here, I feel unhappy and controlled in everything I do?”

“In the final analysis, it’s all the fault of that little yellow-haired girl Alicia.”
