The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 366: Check
Chapter 366 - 366: Check
When Mandel spoke of going to the US, a chill spread through the Australian Ninja League, and everyone's expressions faltered slightly.
Since the rise of Oracle Palace, the Australian Ninja League had implemented an unspoken rule—no high-level Ninja could step foot on US soil. The fear and reverence for Oracle King were so deeply ingrained that, despite the lingering belief that he was truly dead, the mere mention of the US still sent waves of unease through everyone.
Daniel, the solemn and upright leader of the Australian Ninja League, had lived with the hatred of Oracle King for years, and the ban on stepping into the US was one he personally enforced. So, when Mandel expressed his intention to go to the US, Daniel's usual composure cracked. He was thrown into deep thought.
Mandel continued, "Since we have decided to join the Kingslayer alliance, it means we are bound to stand against the Oracle Palace. Sooner or later, we will face the consequences. If Oracle King is dead, the ban becomes irrelevant. But if he's still alive, joining the Kingslayer alliance would provoke his wrath, and the consequences would be inevitable."
His logic was sound.
If Oracle King were truly dead, then there was no reason for the ban to remain in effect. The Oracle Palace would be a mere shadow, and the Kingslayer alliance would reign supreme. However, if Oracle King somehow survived, incorporating the Australian Ninja League into the Kingslayer alliance would undoubtedly draw his ire.
Daniel's brow furrowed with concern, but after a long silence, he nodded. "Mandel, you are right. If Oracle King is alive, he would come for you first. Your actions could cost you your life."
Mandel had made his decision; he wasn't here to appease anyone or offer grand gestures for the Australian Ninja League's sake. His motivation ran deeper. His son had died at the hands of Oracle King, and the truth had gnawed at him for too long. Through his connection with 'Ghost Hand' Jeff in Canada, Mandel had uncovered pieces of information that had pointed him to a place of undeniable significance—the Feazer Medical Clinic in New York, where Oracle King, whose real name was John, had operated under the guise of a magic doctor.
It was there that Mandel would find the answers.
"If Oracle King is alive, I'll know for sure by the time I leave the clinic," Mandel said resolutely.
Daniel, though hesitant, understood that Mandel was bound by personal vengeance and grief. His words echoed in the room, but the decision was made. "Just be cautious, Mandel. Don't take any unnecessary risks. We need answers, but we also need you back in one piece."
Mandel gave a stiff nod, the weight of his responsibility clear. He then left for the US, alone, to pursue the truth he desperately sought.

His arrival in New York was met with no suspicion. Dressed as a local, he blended seamlessly into the city's bustling streets, his knowledge of the language and customs making him nearly invisible to any prying eyes.
Upon reaching the Feazer Medical Clinic, Mandel was greeted by an elderly man, a familiar figure from his research—Holbrook, the Master of Traditional Medicine.
"Please, have a seat," Holbrook said, waving toward a stool in front of him. "Let me check your pulse first."
Mandel, careful to keep his intentions hidden, glanced around the clinic. "Excuse me, sir, I've heard much about the magic doctor of New York. I came to seek his counsel."
"You wish to visit my teacher?" Holbrook asked, raising an eyebrow but not in suspicion.
Holbrook shook his head, his voice tinged with warmth. "Unfortunately, my teacher isn't here right now. But if you wish, you can wait for him here. I'll let him know you came."
Mandel's heart skipped a beat. The old man was speaking as if Oracle King were merely away on business, and the mention of him stirred memories that nearly paralyzed him with fear. But he had come this far, and he could not turn back now.
"Thank you," Mandel replied with a smile, hiding his nerves behind a polite demeanor. "I'll wait."
