------------
There were only two tests in total, but she had used the charm magic three or four times.
And Morin guessed that Catrina had probably lied about the number of times she used it, and it was probably closer to eight or nine.
In other words... she was a typical menace on the road! Morin couldn't help but sigh.
Other road menaces at least had real driver's licenses, but this one's license was fake! It was beyond words.
What could Morin say?
The problem was simple to solve; he just needed to spend enough money. Soon, they were on their way, leaving the car owner who was almost grateful for the crash and the slightly dented front of their car.
Morin drove with Catrina beside him.
"I have to say..." Bradley, who was waiting below, looked at the car Morin was driving and gloated.
"You managed to drive the car like that? You've finally met your match, huh? Hahaha!"
"Do you think I'm responsible for this?" Morin said with a chuckle. "Why don't you ask Miss Catrina, who just got her driver's license?"
"Hmm..." Bradley looked at Catrina and immediately changed his tone. "It's a small problem. It's normal for a new driver to make a few mistakes."
Morin was not surprised by Bradley's attitude. It was normal for this old man to treat him and Catrina differently.
The only difference from a year ago was that a year ago, Bradley was against Morin because he was a playboy who wanted to flirt with Catrina.
A year later, Bradley was still not very fond of him, but the reason had fundamentally changed.
After learning about Morin's magic abilities and getting to know him better, Bradley's attitude instantly changed.
Previously, he had been defensive around Morin, as if he were a thief, but now he wished he could just hand Catrina over to him!
Of course, Morin flat-out refused. He saw through Bradley's malicious intent.
This old man wants to use my moral compass to make his adopted daughter my burden and make me responsible!
Besides, while Catrina was good-looking, had a great body, and a decent personality, she was a perfectly good one-night stand.
But Bradley's move was to make her a permanent partner! How could Morin fall for a trap like that? He flatly refused.
Sorry, but I haven't had enough fun yet!
So, Bradley's attitude had gone from bad to good and then back to bad, but the reasons were different.
"Alright, let's not worry about how many charm spells your adopted daughter used during her driving test," Morin said, half-exposing the truth and half-changing the subject.
"You said something had changed?"
"Yes." Bradley also knew that business was more important and his expression turned serious.
"Follow me."
Morin and Catrina followed Bradley upstairs to his office. Bradley picked up a stack of A4 papers and handed them to Morin.
"Oh..." Morin flipped through the papers carefully, his eyes narrowed.
"The members of the Eye of Providence gave us some information," Bradley said, pointing to the page Morin had just turned to.
"This person, you know him well, Daniel Atlas."
"You're right," Morin nodded. "Daniel, he's a very controlling person. He's good with magic under my guidance, but he's a bit misguided and has become a bit rusty with his magic tricks. So, I ended our partnership and told him to go back to where he started to train himself."
"Uh..." Catrina interrupted. "Isn't magic good?"
"It is good, but he relied on it too much," Morin said, shaking his head and speaking seriously.
"It's normal for a magician to know a few spells, but if he gets rusty with his core magic, he's no longer a magician. Daniel has the qualifications to join the Eye of Providence, and that was his dream."
"Well said." Bradley nodded in satisfaction, looking at Morin with more and more approval.
He'd be a great son-in-law! Too bad he's a player... Bradley sighed, and his opinion of Morin worsened.
Morin: "..."
I didn't even do anything!
"And... what about these three?" Morin continued to look down, seeing some familiar faces, but he pretended not to know them.
"The Daniel Atlas you know, and his three teammates, are Jack Wilder, Merritt McKinney, and Henley Reeves," Bradley said.
"The four of them have formed a magic performance group and have been funded by Arthur Tressler."
"In other words..." Morin looked at Bradley, pretending to ask a question he already knew the answer to.
"What's their goal? Are they helping Arthur, or are they going after him?"
"Why would you think they're going after Arthur?" Bradley asked curiously.
"It's simple. In my opinion, Daniel isn't that kind of person," Morin said.
"He was once blinded by money, but with my guidance, he's seen the light. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to go back to where he started and perform again."
"But... if that's the case, there's still a problem," Catrina asked.
"The four of them want to go after Arthur? What are they going to do? They aren't members of the Eye of Providence, are they?"
"That's the problem," Bradley said with a serious face.
"Our intelligence has confirmed that their target is indeed Arthur. And because of that, we found out that the four of them received an invitation from the Eye of Providence."
"Interesting," Morin said, looking very interested.
"You're so serious... Arthur is their trial task to get into the Eye of Providence, and the invitation they received is actually fake?"
"You guessed it," Bradley said, nodding. "They've been deceived."
"So, someone is impersonating the Eye of Providence and using these magicians who want to join the organization to achieve their own goals?" Catrina asked in surprise.
"It seems that way for now. And if their goal hadn't been so similar to yours, we might not have even noticed the problem," Bradley said, nodding.
"So what are we supposed to do now?" Morin asked. "What does the organization want? Should we choose another target, or continue with this one?"
"Of course, we'll stick with the same target, but we'll add a few new things to the original task," Bradley said.
"Besides taking action against Arthur, you also need to find the mastermind who is using Daniel and the Four Horsemen. Impersonating the Eye of Providence to achieve one's own goals is unacceptable!"
"That's right. This time, the target is Arthur, a wealthy man who deserves to be punished for his ill-gotten gains. But we can't guarantee that it will be the same next time," Morin said, nodding and cooperating fully.
"..." Bradley was silent, staring at Morin with a strange look in his eyes.
This kid isn't arguing with me today? He's cooperating fully, even offering a reasonable analysis and taking on the task without saying a word of rebuttal? He's being so easy to deal with?
Bradley was a bit shocked. Then, he looked at Catrina, with a look of suspicion, trying to recall if Catrina's posture had seemed a little off when she was walking...
He was highly suspicious that Morin's attitude today was the result of him doing something he shouldn't have!
"What kind of weird stuff are you thinking about now?" Morin asked, looking at Bradley's face, which practically said, "You have a problem, she has a problem, you both have problems."
"Can we talk about the real business?"
"Ahem... right, right!" Bradley coughed twice and said, "Since you both agree, then it's settled. I'll send you all the information we've gathered. Also, in two days, the Four Horsemen, including Daniel, are planning a performance at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I think this is probably the first step of their plan. So... should we go to the show?"
"Hmm... we can do that. I actually have a much simpler way," Morin said, thinking.
"I feel like a phone call would be faster, but... to get all four of them to trust me, and to lure the mastermind out... forget it. Let's just go to the show and see what happens."
"Perfect," Morin said, his eyes narrowing. "Let me see if little Daniel has improved over the years..."
In reality, if Morin had really wanted to take care of this and put in his full effort, things would have been much simpler.
For example, he could have just gone straight to Rhodes and taken him out, explaining the situation, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble. But of course, Morin wouldn't do that.
Besides wanting to make things more interesting, Morin also wanted to align the actions of Daniel's group with his and Catrina's, as the combined effect would be much better.
Someone like Arthur wouldn't keep all his money in one account. Even though the original movie shows Daniel's group emptying one of Arthur's accounts, Arthur was able to immediately pull out another ten million dollars to hire Bradley to chase after them.
In short, Morin planned to take his time with this and try to fleece Arthur for all he was worth!
