Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 473, Part 4, Chapter 71: The Wrath of the Leader

"That scumbag just can't stand to see me do well. What does he mean by this? Huh? What is he trying to do?!"

What does it mean that the settlement will be completed in seven days?

"You bunch of useless trash~ We've been outsmarted, understand?"

"Immediately recall all forces stationed outside. No matter what, you must hold this position for the rest of the week!"

"If we can't hold on, we'll all have to feed Cerberus."

At the top of the Dubai Tower, Su Lu looked ahead and shouted angrily at a group of his subordinates, his face showing a look of disappointment and frustration.

He pointed at the group of people with his right index finger, but to his surprise, not a single person in the entire Dubai Temple Tower had considered this factor.

What a bunch of good-for-nothings!

Xi Zhe lowered his head, clenched his fists, and pursed his lips, feeling utterly aggrieved. He hadn't expected that he would be summoned by Su Lu and given such a severe scolding after just coming in this morning to report some news.

The decision was originally made by Su Lu herself, but now the blame is being placed on them, and no one dares to object.

Of course, as Su Lu's top henchman, Xi Zhe was also reflecting on himself, wondering if he hadn't done a good job as an assistant.

"Get lost!"

With that angry shout, the group of people lowered their heads and hurriedly took small steps towards the outside, none of them daring to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting Su Lu's attention.

After everyone had left, Su Lu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with an uncertain expression, looking down at the vast city of Dubai.

The city remains as prosperous as ever, but it will soon face the test of the Holy City.

Although he had some expectations, he didn't expect to be tricked so quickly.

Things are different now. If we proceed according to the original plan, the ocean gods would cause trouble back then, and the whole world would be too busy to handle it. The Holy City would also be tied up with most of its power.

He doesn't need to worry about too many variables, after all, as the Speaker of the Asian Parliament, he also has an almost instinctive ability to understand people's hearts.

The arrogant angel inheritors of the Holy City will not pay much attention to anything as long as the Holy City's survival is not threatened.

Even if he were to take action at that time, he would not face more than two emperor-level warriors. This is the arrogance of the Holy City!

Now things are very different. There are powerful enemies like Wang Teng outside, who have already wiped out an Angel Inheritor, five Forbidden Spell Mages, and a group of hundreds of Super-Rank Mages.

This destructive power is something the Holy City cannot ignore; they could be destroyed if they are not careful.

In this situation, his sudden emergence and attack on the Holy City's roots will inevitably provoke strong hatred and retaliation from the Holy City.

In the end, he was blinded by the forces that had secretly joined him, and he completely underestimated Wang Teng, the former court councilor he had never met before.

I made a wrong move.

"This counterattack from the Holy City is no small matter!"

Su Lu rubbed his temples. He already had a strong sense of crisis, and even having the Black Dragon in his hands made it difficult for him to feel at ease.

If he can't make it through this, then an abyss awaits him and the Dubai Tower behind him!

As a fellow ambitious and arrogant person, he could easily judge others by his own standards. The Holy City would definitely seize any opportunity to crush him into the dust before it would stop.

Call ~

Su Lu took a few deep breaths to compose herself, then took out her phone and quickly dialed a number.

Beep beep beep...

"Feed~?" The phone was answered quickly, and a dismissive greeting came through.

"I am Su Lu!" Su Lu said in a deep voice, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Oh~"

He maintained that indifferent tone, as if nothing could surprise the other person.

"Wang Teng! I admit I took advantage of you this time, but isn't what you did really unfair?"

Su Lu suppressed her anger and tried her best to calm herself down before speaking, but she still carried a habitual domineering attitude.

"Heh, none of your business~"

The same contemptuous laugh came through the phone, seemingly even more pronounced than before.

Call ~

His blood pressure spiked, and Su Lu stared at the glass curtain wall below, his bloodshot eyes reflecting his ferocious, red face.

This was the first time he had ever heard anyone dare to speak to him like that. The other person's arrogance and haughtiness made him exclaim that he couldn't stand it!

His left fist was clenched so tightly that the veins bulged. If he weren't so caught up in the situation, he would definitely have followed the signal to see this "former palace councilor" in person.

After taking a few more deep breaths, he calmed himself down and his gaze returned to its usual composure.

"I'm not surprised that the Holy City is targeting me, but don't forget that you are their biggest threat!"

"If they manage to defeat me this time and gain a lot of reputation, their strength will increase significantly, and then it will be your turn."

"Come help me out! I'll act as bait to create an opportunity for you to attack; consider this my compensation to you."

"I think your goal is the same as mine: to dismantle the Holy City."

After Su Lu finished speaking, he waited quietly for the other party's response, believing that the other party would be a smart person!

With him acting as bait, it's hard to imagine anyone refusing such a good deal!

When that guy actually enters the arena, whether or not to fight, or whether or not to retreat, will be out of his control!

He must avenge this!

"Su Lu~ You're too arrogant!"

"Even now, you still won't call me a councilor!"

"Since you're so ambitious, then just wait for those birdmen from the Holy City to come knocking on your door."

"As for whether you'll continue to cause me trouble after those birdmen beat you to death, that's none of your concern."

A short while later, Wang Teng's slightly teasing voice came through the phone, as if he were chatting with a dead man.

Su Lu grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, but his face remained expressionless. He knew he was being extorted!

What a troublesome bastard!

At this critical moment, he gained a slight advantage from the other party but was immediately retaliated against. Now the initiative is in the other party's hands, after all, he does need their help.

With such a confident and fearless attitude, it seems that this guy's true combat strength far exceeds his imagination!

He's fucking vengeful!

What do you want?

Su Lu spoke in a completely flat tone, ultimately returning to the topic of interests.

At this point, using manipulative tactics on the other party is pointless; this attitude clearly shows that you've got them figured out.

Unless he doesn't need the other person's help, but is that even possible?

The more the other party spoke in this tone, the more certain he became that the crisis was far beyond his imagination.

Even though they are only forbidden spellcasters, there are still some people in the Dubai Mage Tower, but it's useless!

Only those who truly understand the inner workings can comprehend the true nature of the Holy City and what kind of strength is required to be qualified to confront it.

"Five Earth Cores, no bargaining. Have them delivered to me, and I'll help you once I receive them!"

beep beep...

Snap~ La la la...

Su Lu slammed her phone to the ground, shattering it into countless fragments!

With an expressionless face and a cold gaze, he looked down at the bustling land, but at that moment he felt it was so glaring and cheap!

Five Earth Cores, they really dare to speak up!

Compared to the extremely rare Dimensional Core, there are indeed some Earth Cores in stock, but that doesn't mean they aren't precious!

As the key to a mage's advancement to a forbidden spell, and a world-class magical resource treasure, it has always been the foundation for major powers to collect and store.

This thing can ensure that forbidden spellcasters don't experience a power gap! How crucial and important it is!

Located on an international scale, the Dubai Tower naturally possesses its own rich heritage in storing such treasures, unlike those in China where they are discovered and then used to build large quantities of cities.

In many smaller cities abroad, the use of Earth Core fragments as defensive barriers is largely unheard of.

Even the defensive barrier is merely a symbolic, thin layer, using cheap earth-type demon hearts as a substitute.

In some places where magic is scarce, there is none at all, and the city walls built of bricks and stones are barely enough to defend against attacks.
