Chapter 2609: Securing Benefits with Trickery

Edited by Aelryinth

“Eat something,” Mu Ningxue had considerately kept some of the delicious

banquet food for Mo Fan. She asked a waitress to reheat the food.

Mo Fan had not been able to eat before he left. He sat down and enjoyed the

food while drinking with everyone.

One must never waste delicious food!

The world had changed a lot after Mo Fan returned from the Dark Plane. The

situation of their homeland had worsened too, but Mo Fan was very pleased

that he was back. Perhaps he was treasuring his life more after paying a visit to

h.e.l.l.

“Wow, there are so many people here. A lot of them are from the Magic City,” a

loud voice interrupted.

The man’s tone and volume had captured everyone’s attention.

“It’s Councilman Zhuang. I didn’t think you would come here in person. We are

honored to have you here!” Mui Shan immediately greeted the man.

Councilman Zhuang did not bother looking at Mui Shan. He went straight to

Bai Hongfei and Mui Nuxin.

“I happened to pa.s.s by and saw the decorations, so I came without an

invitation. I hope you won’t mind,” Councilman Zlhuang told Mui Nuxin.

“of course not, it’s a privilege to have you here,”Mui Nuxin said courteously.

“Please have a seat,” Bai Hongfei said.

“It’s fine, I’ll be going soon. I just came to say a few words. I wouldn’t want to

disturb the grand occasion. Well, I just want to tell you there’s currently still a

gap of seventy kilometers in the dam at the southern coast.. Oh, the Master of

Fanxue Mountain, Mu Ningxue is here too. It will save me a trip to visit you,

too!” Councilman Zhuang was surprised to see Mu Ningxue there.

Mo Fan gave Mui Shan a puzzled look after this man who was acting like an

official came out of nowhere.

“He’s a Councilman of the Magic City, the city’s current Maritime Defense

Minister.. Mui Shan explained. He then whispered into Mo Fan’s ear, “Many

officials of the Magic City were replaced after Chairman Shao Zheng was

dismissed. This Zhuang Yue’s influence is on par with the mayor of the Magic

City. Most importantly, he’s a strong Mage, too. He’s most likely a peak Super

Mage.”

The man was a peak Super Mage. It explained why he was acting so

confidently!

You all should help your country and city more instead of focusing on your

own people. You have occupied many resources and lands without giving back

to society. You should do your best to help the country at a time like this. The

Mui Clan and Bai Clan are reputable in the Magic City. It’s time for you to step

forward to be a role model to others, and that includes Fanxue Mountain, too!

Even though the Feiniao Headquarters City isn’t a part of my jurisdiction, we

should all work together now that our country is in trouble, Zhuang Yue went

on loftily

Councilman Zhuang, you already took many elites of our clans with you a

month ago. Most of them are now either dead or were injured in the battle.

How can you say we are not doing our part? We really can’t afford to help you

anymore!” Mui Ye protested.

“What do you mean by that? Do you think the military and government have

fewer casualties? If it weren’t for us, do you think you can still hold a grand

wedding like this for the guests to enjoy their evening?” Councilman Zhuang

frowned in reply.

Mui Ye did not dare refute his words.

Mui Nuxin and Bai Hongfei seemed perfectly calm, but they were obviously

feeling uncomfortable.

Some people had done their best to serve the country. Chaiman Shao Zheng

was a great example. On the other hand, some people were doing everything to

squeeze benefits out of others!

They were squeezing the people, the clans, and the factions. Most importantly,

Zhuang Yue had never dared to act so self-righteously in front of other

formidable factions like the Mu Clan, Zhao Clan, Hunter Union, Magic

a.s.sociation, and the Sh.o.r.eline Alliance.

He was bullying the weak, while being afraid of the strong!

Mui Nuxin had long found this Councilman an eyesore. It was not his first time

trying to trick them for his own benefit. She was even angrier at Zhuang Yue

for doing it at her wedding. It was the most important day for a woman!

The Bai Clan and Mui Clan had sent their men to the frontline to fight the sea

monsters a month ago. They were treated as meat s.h.i.+elds. Only a few of them

had made it back alive.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Yue had not lost many of his own men, but he had happily

claimed all the glory!

It was supposed to be an enjoyable wedding, but a shameless Councilman had

come and ruined everyone’s mood!

Mui Shan kept whispering into Mo Fan’s ear, explaining Zhuang Yue’s

personality.

As a matter of fact, Mo Fan did not have a good impression of Zhuang Yue the

moment Mui Shan told him he was involved in the scheme to dismiss

Chairman Shao Zheng.

Mo Fan did not want to play the games of these dirty sc.u.m. He could not care

less about their ident.i.ty.

Mo Fan rose to his feet. He was just about to criticize the hypocrite when

Xinxia’s knight Waris approached them, leading Xinxia over.

Xinxia looked at Mo Fan, and her gentle voice echoed in his mind.

Mo Fan thought about it and decided not to involve himself.

Councilman Zhuang,” Xinxia said with a gentle voice. It was difficult to guess

her emotions from her voice. She had learned how to hide her feelings after all

her years at the Parthenon Temple.

Zhuang Yue turned around. He was impatient at being bothered first, but he

immediately donned a smile when he saw Xinxia.

“Ah, the future G.o.ddess, I didn’t think I would stumble into you here,” Zhuang

Yue greeted her.

I was going to give the newlyweds my blessing, but you have come so

urgently. Perhaps you have a better blessing for them. Tm more than willing to

let you take over, Xinxia proposed.

Zhuang Yue was stunned.

What blessing? He was here to demand resources from their two clans. He had

no blessing to give away!

“of course not, I just didn’t expect you to be here. Im sorry for interrupting

your blessing. Im only here to enjoy some free drinks. Please, don’t mind me.

You may continue,” Zhuang Yue laughed, as if everything he had said was justa

joke.

“Please step aside,” Xinxia encouraged him.

Zhuang Yue could not find any words to say, and he did not dare disrespect

Xinxia. He could only look at Mui Nuxin and Bai Hongfei grudgingly.

Councilman Zhuang retreated so that Xinxia to take over. He awkwardly moved

to the side to find himself a seat.

“Can’t you see the seat is occupied? Move away!” Mo Fan rolled his eyes and

Scolded him.

Zhuang Yue’s face darkened. He looked at Mo Fan closely, as if he wanted to

remember his tace.

Where did this guy come from? He did not dare to say a word when the

Saintess of the Parthenon Temple asked him to step aside, but who did this

young man think he was?

The young man was unworthy to even be his footrest.. How dare he scold his

elder!?
