Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 355 The Dispute Continues

Lin Chengwu's enthusiasm for the magic stone mine exceeded Wang Teng's expectations. Just one night later, he came to visit again at noon the next day.

Leng Qing yawned slightly, looking very tired, as if she hadn't slept well at all the night before.

Lin Yunxi, who was on the other side of Wang Teng, had a rosy complexion, beautiful features, and her cheeks were so tender that they looked like they could be squeezed for water.

Wang Teng was naturally in high spirits; his strong physique meant he was never afraid of women's provocations.

The restaurant on the second floor of the Lin family mansion was even more crowded this time.

"Haha~ It looks like Mr. Wang Teng got a good rest."

Lin Chengwu saw Lin Yunxi's state and understood the situation. He then took the initiative to enthusiastically pull her aside and began to introduce them.

The two approached a solemn-looking white-haired man. Lin Chengwu said, "This is Chairman Park of the Seoul Magic Association."

Wang Teng recognized him and vaguely remembered his aura. Now, sensing it, he found that the other party was not weak at all.

"Hello, Chairman Park!"

"Hello, Councilor Wang!"

The two shook hands briefly to get to know each other, and then, guided by Lin Chengwu, looked at an old man with white hair.

Lin Chengwu spoke again: "This is Speaker Lee of Gyeongbokgung Palace."

Wang Teng clearly sensed that Lin Chengwu didn't seem to like the old man in front of him, and even his enthusiasm had diminished.

"Hello, Speaker Lee!"

"Hello, Councilor Wang!"

Unlike Chairman Park, Speaker Lee was much more enthusiastic.

The four took their seats at the central round table, while the other accompanying personnel sat on the periphery.

Among the people present, Wang Teng was the youngest, making him stand out and attract attention. However, due to the serious atmosphere of the meeting, no one dared to discuss him.

As the military commander and the liaison for this event, Lin Chengwu naturally spoke first: "Today's discussion will focus on the interests of the magic stone mines in the territory of the Violent Ape King Kong Demon."

"Mr. Wang Teng, I need to give you a detailed introduction. That area is located within our country..."

"The only problem right now is dealing with that Grand Monarch-level Berserker Ape King Kong. As for the horde of demons surrounding it, we can handle that!"

Lin Cheng's generals revealed even more detailed intelligence to him, information that they had obtained at the cost of many military mages.

The other two sat there motionless, their eyes fixed on Wang Teng. If he didn't agree, they could go home.

Such a proactive attack on demon territory is a rather risky act; they themselves are holding back and will not engage in a deadly battle with the demons.

In particular, the leaders of the three major forces are unlikely to make an appearance, and the available forces are relatively limited.

This is one of the reasons why they have been unable to take over that area for so long.

"What are your plans? Tell me." Wang Teng didn't bother to think about it and directly stated his demands.

He would only help if he received enough benefits. Since the two military officers from Lincheng had gathered here, they must have already come up with a plan last night.

Lin Chengwu and Speaker Li both turned their gazes to Chairman Park, whose authority far surpassed that of the two of them.

Originally, Chairman Park should have been the one in charge this time, but because Wang Teng was quite close to the military, Lin Chengwu was taken a roundabout way.

"We can give you half of the profits from the magic stone mine as compensation, or a fee of five billion."

"Councilor Wang can choose one of the two."

Chairman Park sensed their gazes and then slowly and deliberately began to explain the compensation plan.

Lin Chengwu narrowed his eyes. This guy seemed to be trying to rip off a sucker? Did he think the other person was young and easy to fool?

Speaker Lee withdrew his gaze and tacitly agreed with Chairman Park's words, stating that the price was very low, almost the bottom price.

"Hehe... In that case, Chairman Park can find someone else." Wang Teng chuckled. The value of a Great Monarch-level demon alone is more than that.

Why should he help these people? Wouldn't it be better to just go hunting in the land of demons?

Are you trying to appease a beggar with this little bit of food?

Chairman Park's face started to tense up. He stared wide-eyed at Wang Teng and asked, "Aren't you going to try to bargain?"

"If Councilor Wang thinks it's too low, then you can suggest a price. If it's reasonable, we're not opposed to it."

Chairman Park emphasized the word "reasonable," after all, the resources were there and wouldn't disappear, and he didn't want to give away too much benefit to an outsider, which was not worthwhile.

"Come find me again after you've discussed it."

Wang Teng naturally wouldn't fall into the other party's trap. The other party was clearly trying to force him to beg on his knees, so there was nothing to talk about.

This is utterly absurd!

Whether or not he makes a move depends on his mood. When did a little bit of money become enough to command a super-level mage?

He's not some poor, high-level mage. Having reached this level, why would he want to beg on his knees?

I might as well just be an ordinary person and stop playing with magic.

Wang Teng got up and left, giving Leng Qing a meaningful glance.

Leng Qing quickly got up and followed Wang Teng out of the restaurant. Lin Yunxi, on the other hand, was deep in thought, her eyes glancing at the man surnamed Park with a hint of hostility.

The three groups sat there looking at each other, never expecting that the protagonist would suddenly leave without any warning, just as they had sat down.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Chengwu's eyes. This old man in front of him was still too stubborn, and his understanding of Wang Teng was superficial, which really made him unable to hold back.

But who can blame them when the other side is the strongest and in charge of the Magic Association, the largest magical organization?

Even his military had far less say than the other side, especially in the allocation and competition for resources.

Seeing that the matter had temporarily fallen through, Speaker Li said, "Let's go back first. It seems that the other party has quite an appetite."

"If all else fails, shall we put this matter on hold for now and discuss it later?"

Chairman Park glanced at him. This old man only knows how to smooth things over, get stuck, get stuck... He can't handle things, so he chooses to get stuck. He's always getting stuck here and there. Why don't you get stuck yourself too?

If the self-generating magic stone veins are not mined, their quantity will not increase, or they will be wasted by that demon. Doesn't that mean they are losing money every day?

"Let's go back and discuss the allocation of the quotas again. We should all give up some." Chairman Park still wanted to push this matter forward.

"What are you saying, Chairman Park? According to the shares we agreed on, you have the vast majority, and you want us to give up the rest?" Speaker Lee rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard, and looked at him as if he were a living vampire.

"I think Speaker Lee's words make a lot of sense. Our military has a huge demand for magic stones."

"Or we could just leave it there and not develop it at all. We've already made it this far, and if we run out of magic stones, we can just buy them internationally."

Lin Chengwu rarely agreed with Speaker Li's words. The Magic Association had many people, but did his military have fewer? He just couldn't stand that the military was in his family's hands and wanted to reduce his share.

This old man is definitely not a person!
