244 Hopeless.

Ozul hadn't encountered anyone who he couldn't measure the cultivation base of. 

He was unaware of the extent of his own abilities, so he didn't know if he was just lacking or the old man might actually be different from other Mages.

When the old man said that he had something to discuss with him, Ozul wasn't so keen on following him.

After thinking for a while, he nodded his head and decided to follow along since he was the only lead to his questions as of now.

He also wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible because he had created quite a commotion earlier while fighting with the ancestor of the Silverbird family.

Rufus, along with all of his subordinates maintained a distance from Ozul and the old man.

"D-don't approach them at any cost!" Rufus even shouted to his soldiers. He, as a peak Rank-8 Mage still had his legs shaking as he had witnessed the previous events.
