Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 236 Ruthless Ridicule

"Are you alright, Mo Fan?" Zhao Manyan, still shaken after seeing the enemy retreat, approached Mo Fan.

"fine."

"You bastard, if you hadn't been messing around with women this time, I would have already taken down their leader."

Mo Fan frowned, his words revealing helplessness. Of course, he couldn't entirely blame Zhao Manyan; there were still many villagers here, and he simply couldn't act freely.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Let's go back. What I did was wrong."

"What are you going to do with those prisoners on the ground?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhao Manyan's eyes. He did make a mistake in his operation, but if you can't deal with the enemy, does that mean there's no problem?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Wang Teng. If he were here, probably no one from the Red Ornament Guild would have been able to leave this place alive.

Even Sieg couldn't mount a proper counterattack, so he didn't have to go through all that trouble defending against the magical attacks, and he even got a scolding.

"Of course we contacted the local government. Are we supposed to handle it ourselves?"

"There's no signal here, let's go outside and make a call."

As Mo Fan spoke, he saw the village chief approaching and, not in the mood for further conversation, exchanged a few words with him before telling them to hurry to the shelter.

He then detained the surviving members of the Red Ornament Guild and placed them together, waiting for the local government to handle the situation.

Zhao Manyan then went outside the village and called the local government to ask them to send someone over.

"You'd better be careful. The Red Ornaments Guild members are vengeful, which is the main reason why they've been running rampant in the Caribbean. Many of them have already escaped and will definitely try to cause you trouble. They have a lot of informants, so you'd better be extra careful," the village chief reminded them before leaving.

"If they dare to come again, they're just throwing money away." Mo Fan smiled, not caring at all about offending the biggest scourge in this sea area.

To be honest, ever since he offended the cardinal of the Black Vatican, his legs are no longer weak, his heart is no longer trembling, and he has become exceptionally bold!

In his view, there is no person or organization in the world more vicious and treacherous than the Black Vatican!

Seeing his confidence, the village chief suppressed his worries and turned to lead the villagers away.

At the same time, he was also confused about the future of Xiaozhai. The Red Ornament Guild was too big, and how long could these two young people stay?

If we don't nip this in the bud, once they leave, the Red Ornaments Guild will likely retaliate even more fiercely.

Without the power of magic, they had no way to resist.

As for the local government, it is completely untrustworthy. If it were any more capable, the Red Ornament Guild wouldn't have been able to exist for so long.

The International Convention on Magical Law is a joke here.

Especially when they heard that these two reckless young people wanted to hand over the hostages to the government, it was like throwing good money after bad.

We can't come back to Xiangcao Village for now!

After making up his mind, the village chief immediately rallied the villagers to leave, or at least to run as far away as possible while the situation remained unclear.

One night passed.

"What? Only 500,000!" Mo Fan was so angry when he saw the money in his hand that he almost lost his temper. This amount of money wasn't even enough to make up for the losses.

Not only that, he and Zhao Manyan waited until noon before the other party slowly came over to hand over the criminal.

With such sluggish actions, low efficiency, and procrastination in dealing with matters, it's no wonder that the Red Ornament Guild has been able to grow so large and powerful.

After giving Zhao Manyan 250,000, Mo Fan regretted it. He thought it would have been better not to deal with these government people at all, but to just detain them and have their superiors come and pay the ransom. Maybe the Red Ornament Guild would have been more generous than the local government.

Zhao Manyan was also indignant. After doing so much work, the local government only gave him such a small amount of money to get rid of him. Who would want to do such thankless work in the future?

Thinking about this, he regretted coming out with Mo Fan. He should have known better than to come out on his own; he could have found something to do even if he didn't have anything to do.

However, they didn't realize that their good intentions could backfire. They could simply walk away, but the local residents couldn't.

"Isn't this a substitute? Why are you back so quickly? Why didn't you come back in two weeks?"

"I thought he had left the team?"

Zujiming immediately launched into a sarcastic remark.

The team is preparing to change their base. They need a more suitable base for the mission and also to prepare to rendezvous with the other two teams.

Unexpectedly, when we set off, we encountered two substitutes who had gone out and hadn't returned. It looked like they had been fighting.

"Shut your dog mouth! If you yell again, I'll beat you to a pulp!" Mo Fan got angry whenever he saw this kind of idiot. He was already fuming today, and now he was even angrier.

"Calm down, calm down..." Zhao Manyan quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"You..." Zu Jiming's face immediately turned angry. Did this bastard really think that no one in the National Team could deal with him?

"Okay, okay~"

"We still need to head to Bluestone Town, don't forget the rules of the group." Ai Jiangtu immediately spoke up to stop them, his face also very displeased.

"Hmph~ You're lucky." Zu Jiming suppressed his anger and turned to leave.

To fulfill their mentor's mission, everyone continued their work, with a few people in the team constantly discussing things, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

"Dongfang Lie~ This is a rare opportunity. The team still has one spot for a full-fledged member."

"Once this training is over, this vacancy will most likely be filled," Mu Tingying said as she approached Dongfang Lie.

"What? You don't think highly of Nan Rongni?" Dongfang Lie asked with a puzzled look. Had this woman gone mad from sleeping?

"Nan Rongni's chances are slim... Her mistake last time left a very bad impression on her supervisor."

"It's already quite good that she was able to stay in the team."

"You actually have a pretty good chance!"

Mu Tingying knew that not only Dongfang Lie, but also Zhao Manyan might be competing, as well as Mo Fan, whom she disliked the most, and Mu Ningxue, who might return.

"I will naturally try..." Dongfang Lie was not interested in her. Even if the other party was Xing Mu, the real decision was made by the mentor. No matter how interested he was, it was useless.

Mu Tingying was furious at his indifferent attitude. How dare a small Eastern family look down on her?

Zhao Manyan hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Ai Jiangtu about what happened last night.

But the atmosphere in the team is now like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Compared to Mo Fan's naivety, he was actually better able to understand the issues behind the emergence of a force like the Red Ornament Guild, and could guess some of them.

Yesterday, those two completely alerted the enemy and didn't clean up their mess. They managed to get rid of two leaders and only managed to kill some small fry.

This kind of thing doesn't bother him much, and those people can't find him to retaliate against, but it's not so friendly to the local residents.
