Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 466 Demands for Interests

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Hua Junshou quickly shook his head expressionlessly.

Although he is ostensibly the military leader and the other side's superior, he doesn't put on airs.

He has no right to put on airs. Not to mention, he couldn't even beat Michael lying dead on the ground, so how could he possibly beat Wang Teng?

He even suspected that even forbidden spells might not be able to threaten the other party.

The group of eight, stationed more than ten kilometers away, naturally had a better understanding of the battle and were more rational than the others present.

"I came here today to see how things are developing."

"I never expected it to look like this~"

Hua Jun immediately responded to Wang Teng, saying that after receiving Pang Lai's message last night, they immediately held a meeting to discuss a plan.

Unfortunately, time was too short, so they could only come to the scene to observe and formulate an action plan based on the subsequent developments.

Now that things have settled down, he feels a headache coming on again. So many people have died in the Holy City and from various forces, making them difficult to deal with.

The domestic forces are not yet sufficient to deal with this situation, and they are about to face an attack from the Ocean God Clan!

"Wang Teng~ What are your plans for the future?" Another person dressed in black robes lifted his hat, revealing himself to be Min Wu, the president of Demon City.

Min Wu stared directly at the other party. No one in the country could counterbalance the power of the emperor, and it was still uncertain whether even the Holy City could do so.

As a well-known powerhouse in the country and the leader of the Demon City base, he sought the other party's opinion immediately.

Hua Junshou frowned, somewhat displeased with Min Wu's words. He spoke too hastily; how could he lay everything out at this time?

"Heh~"

Wang Teng wore a smile on his face. More than half of the group were secretly on guard and had considerable hostility towards him.

It's simply that he can't stand the sudden appearance of a new world above his head, a world that even the Forbidden Spell Society can't control.

This means that their system, established based on the rules of the Holy City, is facing an unprecedented challenge.

Some people are clearly outside the Forbidden Spells Association; if there are exceptions, then the system is meaningless.

Everyone here is a smart person. If Wang Teng chooses to stay in China, then everything will be handled specially for him, and he will inevitably be isolated by them.

Only in this way could they barely maintain that system and preserve the status quo.

Don't think that just because the country has gained such a powerful imperial force, they will be happy; that's just a dream.

Even if an emperor doesn't invade, or even if one or two sea monster emperors do, they are absolutely confident they can defend against it.

What's the point of having this extra imperial fighting force? Isn't it just like giving yourself a father figure?

Wang Teng himself doesn't need to do anything here; he will automatically be sought after by countless domestic forces.

They wanted to gather around the past to find a powerful backer, and then spontaneously form an incredibly large new force.

However, since the distribution of domestic interests has already been completed, the emerging forces will inevitably clash violently with them.

This is not the situation they want to see. Even if Wang Teng doesn't care about profits, the forces surrounding him won't either.

Don't spout nonsense like you don't want to build your own faction. You think this way now, and you'll keep thinking this way in the future.

No matter what an emperor-level combatant wants to do, it's hard for anyone to stand up and stop them. Who would dare to disrespect them?

Afterwards, they would find it even harder to cope, so they might as well have made things clear from the beginning.

This is all about self-interest!

Wang Teng sighed inwardly, realizing he had no interest in playing these worldly power games with them.

The Hall of Heroes has already laid its net, and this will affect his future advancement; everything must give way to it.

Where does he find the time and energy to get entangled in the power struggles between various factions?

"I will only retain my position as a member of the Palace Council and will no longer participate in any of its affairs, nor will I have any intention of developing anything in the country."

"Everything else remains the same!"

"My conflict with the Holy City will be a separate matter and has nothing to do with you!"

"I will have Leng Qing release a statement later to make a specific announcement about these matters."

Upon hearing these words, Min Wu's expression shifted, but he understood what the other person meant.

Retaining the position of a member of the Former Palace Council is not a big deal; it's just a symbol of honor, merely a way to receive a retirement pension.

This is tantamount to a concession; the other party will not continue to participate in the struggle for top-level power in the country, and the matter will stop here.

A one-on-one confrontation with the Holy City carries significant weight given the opponent's strength, deterring other affected forces from seeking further trouble.

The fact that it was made public means that the other party exists only as a powerful individual, and does not involve the interests of domestic officials or other major forces.

Of course, it's normal that his original supporters would naturally be protected and benefit from him.

This is just a small part of Hangzhou, nothing serious.

But if he backs down too much, that's a problem! Putting himself in her shoes, he couldn't possibly imagine what she was pursuing.

Shouldn't they harbor resentment? Or should they just fight them? At the very least, take the chief or president position?

The other party's eagerness to back down only made him suspicious.

Hua Jun was furious, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn Min Wu to ashes!

The people they had painstakingly recruited almost all disappeared after he asked them that question!

They were trying to use their power to keep each other, since everyone has a selfish side.

So the three of them discussed it and decided to simply pack up the entire Forbidden City and give it to the other party, since everyone would be more attentive to their own possessions.

In reality, while it may seem that Wang Teng is in control, the real beneficiary is the entire country. How much resources can one person squander?

The resources the other party needs are far beyond what the Forbidden City can provide. What else can be consumed with the remaining resources?

Compared to the significance of the other party's existence, it plays an indispensable role in the overall national security strategy!

That's a strategic level that even he couldn't achieve!

"Since there's nothing else, let's leave it at that. I'll be going now."

Seeing their silence, Wang Teng rolled up the corpse of the skeleton and disappeared with the four women in tow.

When Min Wu and Hua Junshou looked up, they found that the others had already left, and their actions were incredibly swift and efficient.

"Minwu~ Look what you've done!!!" Hua Junshou immediately turned around and shouted angrily, his eyes almost overflowing with rage.

Seeing Hua Zhanhong so angry, Min Wu was momentarily stunned, and the question that had been lingering in his mind was quickly answered.

He quickly figured out the reason, then lowered his head slightly and remained silent, letting the other party vent their anger.

Wang Teng may be of great strategic significance to Hua Zhanhong, but he is not good for Hua Zhanhong or for the order of the Magic City base city under his management.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his questioning or subtle interrogation, nor did he regret his actions, since the answer given was the best thing for the Demon City base.

The Imperial Palace in the capital controls all domestic power. If Wang Teng were to take the position of the highest-ranking chairman...

Since the other party has a strong foundation and background in Hangzhou, it is very easy for them to form a power and prestige rivalry with the Demon City.

The most important thing is that the opponent's combat power is too high. They have been making great strides recently. In addition, with this battle with the Holy City, who knows how the international community will view the country?

Given Wang Teng's style of destroying hundreds of thousands of people at will, he didn't think he was wrong to immediately understand the other party's thoughts.
