After walking out of the cake shop, Horvath had completely disappeared and his whereabouts had long been unknown.
Wu Ming's eyes were full of coldness, and behind him were the trembling cake shop employees, looking at the shop that was destroyed by the stone lion and crying.
"Sir, we are running a small business, are you..."
"Snapped!"
Wu Ming, who was in a bad mood, took out a wad of banknotes from his shirt and raised it without looking back.
The banknotes were flying in the wind, but Wu Ming didn't even look at them. He just dipped his fingers into some cream on his clothes, put it into his mouth and tasted it gently.
"Teacher, what happened?"
Just when Wu Ming was about to leave, Dave rushed out of the crowd.
Wu Ming looked at Dave in front of him, and after confirming that this was not Horvath pretending, he said: "It's Horvath here. He pretended to be you and wanted to get close to me. But he didn't expect it. I saw through it."
He disguised himself and used a trick to injure him!"
After saying this, Wu Ming shook his head regretfully and whispered: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity still failed to keep Horvath. The next time we meet, there won't be such a good opportunity! By the way,
Where’s Peggy?”
When Wu Ming asked about Peggy, Dave shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Peggy is waiting for me in the coffee shop. I was about to confess everything to her when I felt the violent magic fluctuations outside. However, I still came.
It's too late, if I could have been faster, I might have kept Horvath."
Under Dave's boast, Wu Ming said nothing.
After all, if a great magician wants to escape, it will be extremely difficult to catch him.
Although Dave's strength was not bad, it was only good. Even if he was present at the time, Wu Ming did not think that if the two of them joined forces, Horvath would really be unable to escape.
"Horvath was seriously injured this time, and it will be difficult for him to recover for half a month. Now it's our turn to take the initiative, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time!"
Wu Ming patted Dave on the shoulder and said something that confused Dave.
"Teacher, how come you have anything to do with me?"
"What do you think?"
Wu Ming smiled coldly and whispered: "Horvath disguised himself as you, which means that he saw you going out at that time. Shouldn't you be lucky, if Horvath's target at that time was not me, but you and Peggy.
, what do you think will happen to you?"
As soon as these words came out, Dave was shocked.
Since Horvath can disguise himself as himself and go to Wu Ming openly, he can also disguise himself as Wu Ming and go to find him openly.
Dave is not a brainless person. He knows that with his vigilance, it is impossible to see through Horvath's disguise.
In this way, if Horvath is given an opportunity to take advantage of, even if he is safe and sound, Peggy, an ordinary person, will not be spared either.
Thrilling, really thrilling.
Dave was full of joy in his heart. Fortunately, Horvath's target was not him, otherwise he would really regret it.
"Mentor, Horvath's disguised assassination is a huge threat to us. Should we think of a countermeasure to avoid being confused by Horvath?"
Dave was a little scared and couldn't help but discuss with Wu Ming in a low voice, trying to find a countermeasure.
After hearing Dave's decision, Wu Ming thought for a while and agreed.
After all, although he could see through the disguise, he couldn't keep his nerves tight all day long.
"Let's do this. Let's set a secret code. When we meet unexpectedly, we can use the secret code to identify each other. In this way, Horvath doesn't know the secret code and there is no use even pretending to be us."
"Secret code! This is a good idea, we..."
Before Dave finished speaking, a siren sounded in the distance.
Wu Ming frowned when he heard the sound of police sirens approaching. He had no intention of making international headlines.
"Come on, let's move to another place. The police are coming here."
Wu Ming and Dave disappeared along the street, and followed Dave's suggestion to meet Peggy at the coffee shop.
...coffee shop...
In the coffee shop, Peggy was waiting alone, looking at the police cars passing by outside.
She really couldn't figure out whether there was a bombing or a serial murder outside. She couldn't even figure out why Dave rushed out in such a hurry if there was so much chaos outside.
You know, as one of the top academics, Peggy has very high IQ and EQ.
Growing up, Peggy was clearly aware of Dave's admiration for her.
If according to his usual habits, Dave would never leave him alone if such a big thing happened outside. But this time, Dave ran away in a hurry without even explaining. It seemed that everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
Same thing about that.
"Weird Dave, and Dave's even weirder uncle!"
Peggy lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then raised her head and looked outside again.
When he caught his eye, it was Dave walking from a distance, followed by a person, who turned out to be that strange Asian uncle.
"Mentor, I plan to confess to Peggy and tell her my true identity. Then I will ask her to be careful and not to come to me in a short time."
"That's not necessary. Horvath saw her with you. Do you think she can still escape?"
"What should I do? Peggy is just an ordinary person. There is no way I can involve her in this."
"You have to tell Horvath about this. Tell him that Peggy is a good girl. This is a man's business and has nothing to do with women. Then, see what Horvath will do. Will he use magic to beat you directly?
Into meat sauce!”
During a simple conversation, Wu Ming and Dave walked side by side towards the coffee shop.
In fact, Dave's thinking was too simple. If Horvath didn't know about the relationship between the two parties before meeting Peggy, Peggy might still stay out of it.
However, Horvath already knows all this. According to the rules of conduct of dark wizards, there is no way to avoid harming ordinary people.
It is conceivable that once Horvath makes a comeback, Dave will not let go of such a huge weakness. Therefore, at this time, he still wants to draw a clear line with Peggy. It is obvious that there is no silver in this place.
Horvath is not a fool. If he hadn't taken advantage of this weakness, he would have won the Nobel***.
...jingle...
With the sound of the door opening, Wu Ming and Dave, who looked downcast, walked into the coffee shop together.
In the coffee shop, Peggy was sitting on a booth near the window, stirring a cup of coffee, looking a little absent-minded.
"Peggy..."
When he came to Peggy's side, Dave hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say.
Peggy tilted her head, waiting for Dave to speak, but the more this happened, the more Dave didn't know where to start.
"Two cappuccinos and some tea."
Wu Ming called the waiter and ordered two cappuccinos without paying attention to the child's love.
"Sir, your coffee."
The coffee came quickly and had a slight milky aroma.
Wu Ming looked at Dave, who was still silent, and Peggy, who was quietly waiting for the answer, and lightly snapped his fingers.
...shua...
Following Wu Ming's snap of his fingers, the candy box placed in front of Peggy walked toward Wu Ming's coffee cup without being touched by anyone.
The scene of the candy box walking by itself is almost like a dream.
Peggy was stunned and rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but the fact remained the same.
"Is this...is this magic?"
"It's not magic, it's magic!"
Dave followed Peggy's gaze and looked at Wu Ming, who was doing nothing, and explained: "My uncle, well, how should I put it? He is actually not my uncle, but my mentor, my magic mentor..."
