The most powerful wizard in the magic world

In their interactions, she always seemed mysterious and unpredictable. Gerling knew that she was never an easy person to deal with, and this cautious attitude forced him to remain vigilant.

"What are you thinking about?" As he was deep in thought, a low voice came from the door of the room, interrupting his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Aisha standing there, looking at him thoughtfully.

"Nothing, Aisha." Garlin pretended to be relaxed, trying to hide his inner confusion. He turned around, ready to avoid further discussion of this topic.

"Gerlin." Aisha's voice suddenly rose a little, with a seriousness that could not be ignored, "I know there must be something on your mind. Ever since Ligula appeared, you have become different."

Gerling took a deep breath and turned back to face her. "Do you know Ligula? She seems very interested in me."

"She's not just interested in you. She cares about your goals, your plans, and even the important people around you." Aisha took a step closer, her eyes sharp, "I feel like she's manipulating things intentionally or unintentionally."

"You mean, she wants to influence me?" Gerling frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with this idea. He didn't want to be a pawn of anyone, let alone a character like Ligula.

"Yes, Gerlin. Every move she makes seems to be testing you. You can't be so naive anymore." Aisha's tone was anxious. "You must be vigilant, especially at the party tonight."

Gerlin nodded silently, but he was thinking in his heart. He remembered that Ligula would also attend the party he was invited to. Could it be that she had already calculated everything?

"Do you want to go with me?" Aisha asked softly, with some anticipation in her tone.

"Of course, I don't want to face her alone." Gerling's mood gradually warmed up as if he had drunk a cup of hot tea. He understood that having a partner like Aisha was particularly important to him.

Under the gorgeous chandeliers, the gentlemen were wearing neat suits, the ladies were wearing flowing evening gowns, and the air was filled with the smell of champagne and perfume. Despite the laughter and joy, Gerling felt a sense of oppression. He seemed a little out of place in such an occasion.

"Are you ready?" Aisha's eyes were complicated, flashing with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

"Try your best." Gerling smiled, but he was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that at such a party, anyone could become Ligula's target.

"Look! Here comes Ligula." Aisha suddenly pointed to the center of the crowd, and the woman in a striking red evening dress walked in. She was like a queen, with a strong aura, and the people around her couldn't help but gather around her.

"She's quite an eye-catcher," Gellin whispered, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

"We might as well go say hello." Aisha suddenly took his hand. Although there was a hint of timidity in her voice, her eyes were full of determination.

As he approached Ligula, Gerling's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He knew that tonight's conversation would determine the future direction.

"Gerlin, Aisha, you are here!" Ligula's voice was like sweet music, with a suffocating charm. She bowed slightly, staring straight at Gerlin, as if to see through his heart.

"Ligula, this party tonight is so gorgeous." Elsa broke the silence, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Thank you, Aisha." Ligula's lips curled up into a smile, and there was an unpredictable meaning in that smile. "I hope everyone can enjoy this evening."

"Of course." Gerling interrupted and responded to her words formally, but his vigilance towards Ligula did not decrease. He knew very well that Ligula was not a good person, and there might be a complicated dark side hidden under her smile.

"Gerlin, what are you doing recently? I heard that you are working on some new projects." Ligula's eyes were bright, as if forcing him to reveal more information.

"I'm just working on some small projects. There's no real progress yet." Gerling tried to remain calm and no longer met her eyes.

"Is that so?" Ligula smiled slightly, as if she was not satisfied with his reply, and then said: "I haven't seen you for so long, we can find a place to chat in the evening."

"Is it too late?" Aisha couldn't help but ask, her eyes seemed to remind Gerlin to keep his distance.

"I believe not." Ligula didn't seem to care. She was still smiling, her face as beautiful as a flower, and there was an irresistible temptation in her words.

"We... can consider it." Gerlin felt a tight rope in his heart. He knew what this invitation meant, but he couldn't refuse the attraction.

"Well, see you tonight." Ligula turned around and waved to the others, leaving Gerlin and Aisha alone.

"See you tonight? How are you going to respond?" Elsa whispered, worry becoming more evident on her face.

"I don't want to anger her, but I will try to be careful." Gerling's tone was full of determination. "We must understand her plans and even her weaknesses."

"I support you," Aisha's voice was gentle but firm, "but we must also remember that Ligula is not an easy opponent."

The atmosphere of the party became more and more heated, but the conversation between Gerlin and Aisha became more and more cautious. They felt an invisible pressure, Ligula was like a hunter lurking in the dark, and they were innocent prey.

As the night progressed, Gerling put away his inner tension and focused on interacting with other guests. However, Ligula never left their side, sometimes appearing beside them, and sometimes talking to others on her own.

"Her charm is irresistible," exclaimed a businessman who spoke with Gerling.

"Indeed." Gerling did not comment, but he was thinking about how to stay awake in the upcoming conversation.

"I heard that she is quite capable in business." The other party added, as if hinting at something.

"Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover." Gerling smiled slightly, not caring at all.

When the party was over, almost everyone left, leaving the empty banquet hall. Gerlin and Aisha sat on a sofa, and they could both feel the upcoming showdown.
