Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Neat footsteps rang out one after another as four tall figures squeezed into Xiao Ziru's office.

A gentle breeze seemed to stir, and the magic rippled. Although there was only one extraordinary mage among the four, the pressure from each of them was considerable.

Xiao Ziru couldn't help but frown slightly; the attack was quite aggressive.

The large office now houses four extraordinary mages and four high-level mages, making it feel somewhat cramped.

As a fellow high-level mage, Zhang Miaoyi couldn't help but slow her breathing. An inexplicable pressure came over her. Although it wasn't directed at her, she felt as if a heavy burden was pressing down on her.

The four soldiers who stepped in were Lieutenant General He Chenming, a transcendent mage of the Candlelight Army, and Major General Li Dianwei, a high-ranking mage of the Candlelight Army.

Chen Guang, a major general of the Night Watch Army and a high-ranking mage, codenamed "Sinking Owl"; Huang Buyu, a major general of the Night Watch Army and a high-ranking mage, codenamed "Fighting Ape".

The person who had just asked if the Night Watch Army was qualified was none other than Major General Dou Yuan Huang Buyu of the Night Watch Army.

After entering the office, Chen Guang stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, but in reality, he felt somewhat helpless.

Dou Yuan can be said to be one of the few arrogant guys in the Night Watch Army. He has never been very disciplined in his actions, and he is also quite straightforward and talkative. When he heard Xiao Ziru's words just as he reached the door, he immediately responded with this sentence.

Xiao Ziru felt increasingly depressed; it had been a long time since his office had gathered so many people of high status.

Although Xiao Ziru didn't recognize the four newcomers, he could tell from their uniforms that two of them were lieutenant generals and major generals of the Candlelight Army, and the other two were major generals of the Night Watch Army.

Moreover, from what they had just said, Xiao Zi also understood that the four people in front of him had also come for Wang Yi.

"Why should I!" Xiao Ziru couldn't help but clench his fists, secretly resentful.

He couldn't understand why a mere mid-level mage, with only a few talents at most, would attract so many departments to protect him, even at the cost of confronting him, an extraordinary being.

It's just a matter of being arrested and locked up for a few days. It's not like they'll lose much of their lives. Why is it like they've stirred up a hornet's nest, with wave after wave of people coming?

Damn it, this is never going to end!

"The Night Watch is certainly qualified." Xiao Ziru took a deep breath, but refused to back down an inch: "However, the Night Watch can only use magic in the city during missions or when absolutely necessary."

"Wang Yi's use of magic was actually a fight, which was clearly not a mission of the Night Watch. It is illegal, and there is no need to argue."

Now that things have come to this, Xiao Ziru has already gone too far. If he backs down, it will only further confirm that he is in the wrong.

The military's power is indeed considerable, but it is mainly manifested in the interdimensional passage and it has little jurisdiction over the real world.

Although the Night Watch is somewhat special and its authority is half a level higher than that of law enforcement, law enforcement is not a subordinate department of the Night Watch. The Night Watch can request law enforcement to cooperate in its operations, but it does not have direct appointment or jurisdiction over law enforcement.

Besides, they were just two Night Watch Major Generals, not extraordinary mages, so Xiao Ziru didn't care much.

At this moment, Xiao Ziru felt increasingly angry, resentful, and bitter, which made him even more stubborn.

He refused to accept this injustice.

In terms of strength, he has already reached the pinnacle of mages. In an era where forbidden mages cannot act freely, the extraordinary is already the ultimate goal.

In terms of status, as the Minister of Law Enforcement in Shanghai, there are only two or three people in China's law enforcement system who hold a higher position than him.

Even if we don't give face to the Candlelight Guard and the Night Watch, what difference does it make if we combine the two?

Moreover, since Wang Yi did indeed use magic, his weakness was effectively exploited.

Unless you tear up and eat the Chinese mage code on the spot, no one can take Wang Yi away today!

"You think fighting is something that just happens?" Huang Buyu chuckled. "I could say Wang Yi was on a mission."

"Alright, then please send the Night Watch's mission record to the Enforcement Department for verification. If it is accurate, I will release them." Xiao Ziru remained unmoved.

Huang Buyu reached for his phone, but Chen Guang grabbed his wrist and shook his head.

Chen Guangtai understood his fellow "Fighting Ape" comrade; Huang Buyu definitely wanted to fabricate a mission record and then stamp it with his own seal.

As a major general in the Night Watch, Huang Buyu naturally had the authority to do so, but such an action was undoubtedly foolish and against the rules, so Chen Guang directly stopped him.

After stopping Huang Buyu, Chen Guang said, "Wang Yi is not an offensive mage; he only casts healing magic. Apart from the healing effect, it will not cause any damage or harm."

"Article 3 of the Mage Code: Except in specific areas, mages are not allowed to cast spells indiscriminately within the territory of China. Even medical mages are not allowed to do so if they do not have a medical license. Wang Yi has clearly violated the Mage Code. Even if he uses medical magic, it is considered illegal medical practice and he can be detained for three days."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Huang Buyu smiled, clapping and cheering, while saying sarcastically, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought Wang Yi had committed the serious crime of treason."

Xiao Ziru ignored Huang Buyu's words and simply said, "If you gentlemen wish to pick up Wang Yi, it would be best to wait two days."

"Excuse me, Wang Yi, we need it now." At this moment, Lieutenant General He Chenming of the Candlelight Army, who had not spoken since entering the room, picked up his phone and opened an electronic document.

"According to the regulations, if three military marshals agree, Chinese citizens can be forcibly conscripted for mission support, and all departments must cooperate unconditionally." He Chenming directly connected to the fax machine on his desk, and amidst a series of 'squeaking' sounds, a paper document was slowly printed out.

"This document bears the signatures and seals of my Candlelight Army Marshal, the Night Watch Army Marshal, and the Blood Burning Army Marshal. Minister Xiao, please verify it." Hao Chenming pointed to a piece of paper on the table that was still warm. "If there are no other issues, please sign to release the person, Minister Xiao. Our time is very tight."

Hao Chenming had just obtained this document. Before coming here, they hadn't expected Xiao Ziru to be so "dutiful." So Hao Chenming had to explain the situation to the Marshal of the Candlelight Army. Then the Marshal of the Candlelight Army contacted the marshals of the other two armies, signed the document, and sent it directly to Hao Chenming.

After speaking with Xiao Ziru, Hao Chenming turned to Bai Jingting and said, "Principal Bai is here as well. The military has encountered some unforeseen circumstances and needs Wang Yi from your school to provide support. The military will send the official documents to Lanling Magic High School shortly."

Bai Jingting's expression was solemn. He noticed that Hao Chenming used the term "military" instead of "Candlelight Army," which meant that these people really had something extremely important that required Wang Yi's support, and were not simply trying to get Wang Yi out of trouble like him.

That makes sense. The military wouldn't be so frivolous. Why would they make a special trip just because Wang Yi was detained for a few days?

Even if those below wanted to protect Wang Yi, the military marshals would never sign such an important document.

Bai Jingting nodded and solemnly said, "Our school will cooperate unconditionally. We also ask the military to do its utmost to ensure Wang Yi's safety."

Hao Chenming nodded and said, "I will do my utmost."

Xiao Ziru walked to the desk, picked up the document on the table, looked at the signature and seal at the end of the document, his face was ashen, and he tried his best to control himself so as not to crush the document on the spot.

A few seconds later, Xiao Ziru picked up the landline on his desk, preparing to instruct his subordinates to release Wang Yi.

Unexpectedly, Hao Chenming quietly moved to Xiao Ziru's side and pressed the off-hook button on the landline.

After hanging up the phone, Hao Chenming casually grabbed a piece of white paper, tapped it twice in front of Xiao Ziru, and said to Xiao Ziru word by word, "Minister Xiao, I said yes, sign to release him."
