Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 351 Operation Thunder

Seven days passed swiftly amidst a turbulent undercurrent, and the time finally came to carry out the follow-up work concerning Cardinal Jiuying of the Black Vatican.

Unlike the surprise attack by Salam, this time the Supreme Court, with ample experience in dealing with such situations, launched a swift and decisive operation.

A covert operation was launched, a nationwide coordinated effort, and by the time the arrests began, many people had no time to react before the operation was over.

After the members of the Black Vatican were captured, the forces behind them naturally had to be dealt with, which was not something that could be resolved in a short time.

After all, this is difficult. Not everyone is involved with the Black Vatican, so it's impossible to arrest them all. How to deal with them is up to the Speaker and the top military leaders to decide.

At the same time, the leaders of the forces involved will attempt to salvage the situation and engage in political maneuvering.

This did not affect Wang Teng's actions. When the holiday arrived, he and Leng Qing took a plane to Shanghai.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw a little girl holding up a sign with the words "Leng Qing" written on it, but it looked like graffiti with crooked and messy characters.

"It's so cold~ Why don't you wear more clothes?"

Leng Qing gently rubbed Lingling's little head with tenderness.

"I'm wearing a down jacket, Wang Teng, long time no see." Leng Lingling greeted her regular customer warmly.

Even after all this time, she still remembers that the largest individual bounty was offered by the person in front of her, and that record has not yet been broken.

"Hello Lingling, I didn't expect you to go through all that trouble to pick me up at the airport."

"I didn't prepare any gift, but I hope you'll like it."

Wang Teng pondered for a moment. It was almost Chinese New Year, and he was now Leng Qing's superior, so he casually took out a spatial magic diamond.

"Ah~ I love it, I love it..." Lingling dropped the sign in her hand to the ground, her eyes shining, and excitedly reached out her hands to take the sparkling magic diamond.

She fell in love with the magic diamond at first sight. Even with her discerning eye, she couldn't find any flaws. This was a spatial magic diamond!

It could become one of her most treasured collectibles!

Looking at Lingling's greedy appearance, Leng Qing felt both amused and exasperated. She could also sense the surging magical energy contained in the magic diamond.

This is a forbidden-grade material, which is basically one of the resources that does not exist on the market and has almost no possibility of being circulated.

She never expected that Wang Teng could actually pull out all sorts of strange things from his body.

"Alright, let's go home." Leng Qing took Lingling's little hand and prepared to leave. She felt a little embarrassed to stay any longer.

"Goodbye~" Lingling was pulled away by Leng Qing, but she didn't forget to turn around and wave goodbye.

Wang Teng smiled knowingly at Lingling, turned and walked away into the distance. He found a corner, quickly entered the void, and teleported towards Song City.

For him, the distance of over 100 kilometers was just a step or two away, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in Hangzhou.

In front of the Moon Rain Pavilion, Wang Teng watched as Ding Yumin greeted him upon his return.

Wang Teng smiled and hugged the figure that rushed towards him, and the two walked towards the villa.

"How are things going in Beijing? I saw your inauguration video online; lots of leaders attended your inauguration meeting."

"Is it very serious there?" Ding Yumin asked curiously.

"Yeah, they all have such serious faces. I've barely interacted with them, except for the head of the Hua Army and the chief."

"It's freezing cold over there all day long, with snowflakes flying everywhere. I don't even want to go out."

"I don't feel as comfortable as at home," Wang Teng shared with her some simple observations about the capital city.

"Hmph~" Ding Yumin smiled. This guy was pretending again, saying he only communicated with the Chinese army leader and chief, but that wasn't her concern. The last sentence was what she liked to hear the most.

It wasn't until evening that Tang Yue returned to the villa, bringing back Judge Tang Zhong and Judge Li Tian with her.

Since only Ding Yumin was at home, they could only cook some river shrimp, stir-fry a few home-style dishes, and prepare some peanuts to eat.

"Wang Teng, kid~ I didn't expect you to cause such a big mess as soon as you went to the Forbidden City. How come you always manage to gain merit wherever you go?"

Judge Li Tian didn't care at all whether there were four dishes and a soup; even if there were only peanuts and white wine, he would still be happy to come.

This recent operation has greatly boosted the prestige of the Supreme Inquisition. This supreme operation, led by the Supreme Inquisition, has dealt another heavy blow to the most deeply hidden Black Vatican.

The arrogance of those powerful families has also been suppressed, and now they are all living a life of hiding and concealing their true intentions, especially those forces that are already embroiled in trouble, who are afraid that these families will come knocking on their door to cause trouble.

As time goes by, another major shift in power will occur, and it will be very difficult to wash off the stain of the Black Vatican.

"It was just a coincidence. Who would have thought that a cardinal from the Black Vatican would be present at my inauguration ceremony?"

Wang Teng smiled and said nonchalantly, "Eating a few peanuts and taking a sip of baijiu has a unique flavor."

Only Ding Yumin looked a little embarrassed. She hadn't learned much cooking skills from following Tang Yue for so long, and could only cook some simple dishes that she was good at.

As for having Wang Teng do it, that's even more unreliable; in the end, they might just have to make do with some golden fried rice.

"What are your plans now that you're back?" Tang Zhong asked, chewing on a peanut and savoring its slightly burnt aroma.

"Here it comes!" Wang Teng thought to himself. It seemed that Tang Zhong had also anticipated this step.

"For me, it doesn't really matter how it's handled. I can continue serving as a judge or I can relinquish this position."

"I think it would be better to make the seats of members of parliament more available, and give everyone a chance to be promoted."

Wang Teng quickly put himself in Tang Zhong's shoes, connected the dots, and made a suggestion.

"Hmm, that's fine. I can issue an internal notice and announce your resignation from the position of judge in a while."

"You're likely to become the shortest-serving member of parliament."

Tang Zhong agreed. It would be better if Wang Teng took the initiative to say it, as it was a minor issue for him whether the other party withdrew or not.

Wang Teng was someone he practically helped rise to power, and he was also his supporter, practically like one of his own in terms of position.

Furthermore, the other party's reputation is a great asset to the trial committee. Which of the lower-level members has achievements surpassing Wang Teng's? If they can't produce one, they shouldn't talk about being promoted to councilor.

The trial committee also considers contributions and achievements. Don't be fooled by Luo Mian's evil nature; he initially rose to his position as a councilor based on contributions and achievements.

This applies to everyone, and to some extent, it ensures the vitality and image of justice of the trial.

"What's the big deal? Leaving a trace is enough."

Wang Teng didn't mind being generous. He had already gotten what he needed, and what was precious to others was nothing but fleeting to him.
