Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 222 Flies and Tigers

The National Government team did not leave. Bai Mo quickly returned with Zhou Tianyuan and the other two. After they landed, before he could say anything, Nan Rongni stepped forward with a sorrowful expression.

"They are so badly injured, I will treat them."

Bai Mo nodded silently, watching from the side. To be honest, Nan Rongni, surrounded by holy and healing light, really did give off a feeling of purity and innocence, like a lotus emerging from the mud, just by looking at her appearance.

Unfortunately, he knew that this woman was just putting on an act; her insides were already filled with silt.

"Did they encounter sirens?" Jiang Yu observed the wounds on the two men's bodies. "These wounds are unique, but they are all accompanied by a dark power, which should be the work of the filth hunters."

"Dirty Hunter? What's that?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

Jiang Yu then explained to him, and then the conversation drifted off to other sea monsters.

Before long, Zhou Tianyuan and the other man's injuries were healed.

"They are my high school classmates, being hunted down. They won't reveal our whereabouts and will continue on their way."

Bai Mo nodded slightly to Nan Rongni, then turned to give a brief explanation to the others before chatting with Zhou Tianyuan and the other person.

Seeing this, no one said anything. Since Bai Mo would even rescue a high school classmate he happened to pass by, then they, as teammates, couldn't possibly be any worse than his high school classmate, right?

After all, there are always dangers along the way, and with Bai Mo backing them up, they feel more at ease.

"Tell me, what happened between you guys, and Zhang Yuan too?"

After setting up a soundproof barrier, Bai Mo didn't discuss matters of the National Government with the two of them, but instead asked directly about Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan was murdered, and Lin Dongjun was also seriously injured and unconscious. We came to Feibiao City to investigate the cause of his death. We had only been here a short time when we were led to this coastal area and were chased."

Zhou Tianyuan looked somewhat sad. Since entering the Mingzhu Inner Courtyard, Bai Mo had been rarely seen, so they didn't see each other often.

However, he and Zhang Yuan had done many monster-hunting missions together, and they could be said to be sworn brothers. Many times when he was injured or encountered danger, he could not help this somewhat awkward but exceptionally reliable friend.

Bai Mo frowned. "What is the relationship between Lin Dongjun and Zhang Yuan? Explain the whole story clearly. While we are still in Feibiao City, I'll see if I can help you out."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded. They could also tell that the people in this team were all highly skilled, undoubtedly belonging to the National Government Team. And judging from their attitude towards Bai Mo, it was clear that Bai Mo was their leader.

With Bai Mo's help, things might be much better than relying on the two of them alone.

"Let me talk about Dongjun's matter. I'm quite familiar with her," Mei Qian said, briefly explaining the connection between Lin Dongjun and Zhang Yuan.

"Dongjun also got into Mingzhu Academy. It seems that she and Zhang Yuan met when they first entered the main campus. They got married last year and had a child. She gave birth last month when she visited her uncle in Feibiao City. Not long after that, Dongjun was seriously injured and hospitalized, and the child disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was both enlightened and speechless for a long time. He found it hard to believe that Zhang Yuan, with his reserved and taciturn nature, had gotten married and had a child in just two years.

However, upon hearing that the child was missing, Bai Mo knew that this matter was of great importance.

Taking a deep breath, he continued, "And then?"

"Later, Zhang Yuan came to Asuka City to take care of Lin Dongjun. Through the family's video recordings and Lin Dongjun's last words when he was conscious, he believed that Lin Dongjun's serious injuries and the child's disappearance were not related to demons, but that someone was behind it."

Zhou Tianyuan continued speaking, picking up where Mei Qian left off. Even after so much time had passed, his words still carried an inescapable anger. Who on earth was it that dared to lay a hand on a child? It was utterly unforgivable!

"At first, no one believed him. The Lin family thought that Lin Dongjun had been too traumatized and had developed mental problems. We weren't there at the time, so Zhang Yuan went to investigate the matter on his own. Later, the Lin family found Lin Dongjun's body at his villa and notified us."

"He died in his own home?! How did he die?!" Bai Mo's eyes narrowed.

"Hmm! It's a kind of toxin. Everyone who came to examine him said it was a potent siren poison. He must have encountered a siren in the wild and died from the poison."

At this point, Zhou Tianyuan clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "These organizations in Feiniao City are all a bunch of good-for-nothings! What kind of poison could render a mid-level healing mage speechless? If there were, he wouldn't be able to go home, and he wouldn't even be home!"

"After we examined him again, we found that his body was indeed swollen and oozing pus from a potent poison, but the poison hadn't penetrated deep into his body. More importantly, we discovered traces of curse magic. That so-called poison was just a hoax."

Zhou Tianyuan took a deep breath and sighed, "I asked someone to cure the poison in his body, hoping that one day I can beg for the magic of the Parthenon."

"Later, we found a green demon scale in Zhang Yuan's room. It had been polished. Following this clue, we encountered the black-clad man from the Green Stone Guild chasing us. They are definitely involved in Zhang Yuan's death!"

After hearing the whole story, Bai Mo's eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath to ease the suppressed emotions in his heart.

Seeing that they had arrived in the city, he said to the two of them, "I understand the situation. Leave the rest to me. You two should rest well. If you can't stay idle, you can collect some information about the Greenstone Guild for me."

"Okay!" Zhou Tianyuan and his companion nodded, looking quite excited. They thanked Nan Rongni and then left.

After the three finished talking, the group stood on the harbor, feeling troubled.

Zhao Manyan was discussing port and city investment, which drew a barrage of sarcasm from Zu Jiming. After being mocked in return, he turned his sharp tongue to Bai Mo.

"Some people only know how to reminisce about the past. They haven't accomplished anything along the way, and instead they're helping their teammates. Now that we've found this harbor, we need to figure out how to get to Japan by boat! I wonder if those brains that only know how to cultivate can come up with a good solution."

"Let's go to the port and ask if there are any ships going to Japan."

Ai Jiangtu frowned. He had noticed along the way that the other people's quarrels were at most about jealousy or that they were already at odds with each other within their families.

On the other hand, Zu Jiming always has to argue with everyone. He's narrow-minded and can't stand people or things.

It's a good thing he didn't become the team leader. Let Bai Mo deal with these kinds of problematic team members.

"What's the point of asking? We don't have identification, so we can't buy tickets or get through security," Zu Jiming added.

"You're right, so we need someone to get us a ship to Japan and take us there."

Bai Mo nodded slightly and glanced at him. The man immediately began to nitpick, "Easier said than done. Why should they help us?"

"Use your brain more often, what's the use of complaining?" Mu Nujiao couldn't help but speak out what many people in the team were thinking.

"Exactly, everyone has needs. With so many monks like us, how can we not get things done? As long as we meet other people's needs, they'll meet ours, right?"

Jiang Shaoxu echoed, having already listened to Zu Jiming's rambling for a long time. Even if a tree grew a little shorter, this guy would still complain about it.

"Jiang Shaoxu is right. Just like hunters, we complete the mission and naturally receive the bounty." Mo Fan's eyes lit up as he instantly thought of his area of ​​expertise.

"There's a problem: who should we help solve this problem for? Who has the authority to issue a bounty that allows us to reach Japan on a reasonable scale?" Mu Ningxue asked the crucial question.

"Naturally, it's the most powerful company in this city. I think the guy who built this port is pretty good."

Bai Mo spoke casually, but his eyes were fixed on the four huge characters on a sign by the harbor.

Lin Group

Twin Towers

In the CEO's office, Lin Junxian looked sharply at the dozen or so young people who had been brought in by his secretary, and frowned slightly.

Although he felt the handsome man leading the group looked slightly familiar, he still said:

"I hope you won't waste my time. The sea monsters roaming around Asuka City are a clan of sea monsters. There were some signs of this seven or eight years ago, and their numbers have started to increase wildly in recent years. The city has sent some hunters to exterminate them, but the results have been minimal!"

In Lin Junxian's view, this group of people was more like a group of college students going out for training. Some students from magic high schools were very strong, but in fact they were not as strong as the hunters of the Hunter Association, mainly because they had serious problems with experience and knowledge.

To defeat demons, you need brains, experience, and real combat skills, not those flashy mage-level badges!

"You don't need to worry about these things. Since we dared to take on this job, we are naturally confident. You don't need to question us so much now. Just give us all the information you have about the siren, help us prepare some necessary things, and then sit in this exquisite office with your female secretary and wait for our news." Bai Mo looked at the man and said with great confidence.

"Fine, your requests are no requests to me at all, but I must first tell you what you're going to do. This is not something I asked you to do. If your parents, the school, or the forces behind them want to pursue something, then please don't point fingers at me. This investment has failed, but I still want my reputation," Lin Junxian said.

"Don't worry, we're not interested in your reputation." Jiang Shaoxu touched the beauty mark on the corner of her lip, smiled gently, and then walked out with the others.

"Captain, what's our next step?" After everyone had finished reviewing the documents, Zhou Xu looked at Bai Mo and asked.

"Find them, then destroy them, that's it."

Bai Mo succinctly stated that he didn't have much of an impression of Zhou Xu, guessing that he must have been eliminated later.

Everyone was speechless after Bai Mo's brief words. Although it sounded pretentious, it was indeed true.

But as soon as they thought about Bai Mo's cultivation level, they felt it wasn't a big deal.

"That's what they say, but we can't just go overseas to find those demons," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Nan Jue, prepare the medicines and supplies you'll need in the wild." Bai Mo nodded slightly and made some detailed arrangements.

Bai Mo directly handed over the specific route planning for this operation to Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue, two military members.

The team leader only needs to lead the team and the team leader; other matters should be the responsibility of the vice-captain or team members.

Both military personnel were very professional, and it didn't take them long to arrive at the rocky island where the last demon-slaying incident had occurred in Asuka City.

The entire rocky island was quite spacious, which is why it became the last base for the demon-slaying official's magicians. There were some messy clothes on the ground, which looked like they had been there for a long time.

Clearly, since the failed demon-slaying attempt, the Asuka City authorities haven't dared to try again.

Jiang Yu discovered demonic claw marks on a huge rock and began to speculate about what kind of demon it was.

Mo Fan, however, quietly returned, carrying a small Crimson Demon, leaving everyone speechless once again.

This unconventional behavior is indeed a headache for managers.

"You've attracted those big guys here," Bai Mo said calmly, glancing at Mo Fan.

Hey hey hey!!

As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, more than a dozen figures rushed out from behind the rocks and lined up in a row.

They were all tall and strong, with red bodies, flapping ring fins, and their protruding eyes staring intently down at them, the intruders!

"Um... he's the one you're looking for~" Zhao Manyan took two steps back without making a sound, then pointed at Mo Fan.

"It's just a dozen or so warriors, I'm leaving them to you." Bai Mo glanced at the Crimson Demons, trying to find the one who had eaten the infant.

Only then can he formally mobilize these government officials to launch an investigation!

After learning about Zhang Yuan's situation, he had no intention of letting go of the matter in Asuka City, and he certainly wouldn't let the investigation run dry like in the original story.

Moreover, besides the clue that is about to be made public, he also has clues brought by Zhou Tianyuan.

The man in black who claimed to be from the Greenstone Guild.

He knew the ins and outs of the missing children in Asuka City very well.

The origin of it all was that Su Lu, the president of the Asian Magic Association, wanted to tame the Black Dragon Emperor. The forbidden technique he was preparing required the heart of a young Titan.

Titans were already few in number, let alone young Titans. But the hearts of human infants could serve as a substitute.

Thus, these seemingly respectable Su Lu henchmen contacted the Black Gloves Wolf Guild, a notorious organization in this world.

"We can't do it ourselves, so you guys go ahead."

So they went to collect human children's hearts.

Before Bai Mo and Ling Ling launched the campaign to eradicate human trafficking and fraud gangs in Kyushu, it is believed that many children in Kyushu had been sold.

And that was indeed the case. He had already learned from Lingling that many trafficked children had ended up in the East China Sea Magic Association.

The East Sea Magic Association is directly under the Asian Magic Association and is administered by Su Lu.

The children in Asuka City were clearly stolen by these people under the cover of the Crimson Demon Clan.

These demons deserve to die, and those in Asuka City who aided and abetted the evil should not be spared either. That Green Stone Guild is probably a branch of the Bad Wolf Guild in Kyushu.

The Bad Wolf Guild is very strong, but it can't make a splash in Kyushu, so it only dares to do some small things in Asuka City.

Just a few flies!

Bai Mo glanced at Zu Jiming indifferently.

The Zu family is also helping Su Lu with her affairs; in the Asuka City incident, they will inevitably act as a protective umbrella in Kyushu.

This deterred some people who wanted to get involved.

This is the real tiger!
