Chapter 290: A Spear and a Shield, into the Eye of the Hurricane (1)
Chapter 290: A Spear and a Shield, into the Eye of the Hurricane (1) The Tower of Mages was an occlusive organisation. They avoided outside contact as much as possible.
Due to those doubtful of what they were doing behind the curtains, they tended to be at the centre of all sorts of conspiracy theories. The only outside contact they had with the world happened once a quarter, in the superhuman conferences which were attended by both the Association and the nations of G12, where they revealed the records and achievements of the previous quarter.
Why were they such an occlusive organisation?
It was because they created spells that should not be known to the public.

“Aht…? Hello?”

Jefferson, who had rang the reception desk of the Tower of Mages just to be sure, was startled as well and rolled his eyes to glance at Jeanie Inssirem. If a gaze could rip people to pieces, her face would have made her a serial killer already.
“Speaker.”
“Ahh, yes…”
Hearing the voice that was as cold as a sheet of ice, Jefferson quickly put it on speaker mode. In any case, the Tower of Mages had picked up the call so Jefferson calmly began to do what he had to do.
– Hello.
“Hello. I am a 4th Grade agent of the Association, Antonio Jefferson.”
– Hello sir. You are the chief aide of the Chairman, yes? It has been a while sir.
Jefferson politely shifted the topic to the Royal Guards of the Golden Cross, and said he urgently needed information about the 12th member.
– Ahh… Sorry but that won’t be possible.
“Sorry?”
– The Royal Guards of the Golden Cross are currently in charge of the security of the 72nd floor’s re
