Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne
Chapter 273 Will I get custody of the child?
Because of Lu Yilin's situation, everyone knew that no one would be eliminated from the team, so at the request of the mentors, they had a friendly competition.
Of course, Bai Mo was not among them.
The mentors even discussed privately that winning the World University Competition would not only greatly enhance one's future reputation, resume, and family prestige.
Bai Mo might not even participate if he could gain some hidden benefits from society.
The competition ended quickly, and everyone went to challenge the Mexican national team. Bai Mo didn't go with them. The return of Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue directly raised the team's overall strength to a new level, making the national team competition a piece of cake.
Therefore, five people stayed behind to play at the National Hall, while the others dispersed to do their own thing.
As a developed country, Mexico's capital, Mexico City, is very bustling, with cars and people coming and going on the streets.
Bai Mo went into a restaurant that was said to have local characteristics. He wasn't interested in experiencing any exotic culture; he just wanted to see the local delicacies. Apparently, this place is a major corn-producing country.
Could it be that corn is the staple food?
Lost in a jumble of thoughts, he suddenly felt his phone, which he was casually holding, being snatched away!
Bai Mo: ? ? ?
Because he looked intelligent and upright, he rarely encountered such things, and suddenly his things were stolen.
But more importantly, this thief was a bit special.
A short-haired child was seen running in one direction with his phone in his hand.
The child was about seven or eight years old. Bai Mo reached out and gently lifted him up. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the child was a tomboy.
He was dressed in casual sportswear, not flashy at all, but made of high-quality fabric, and the ring on his hand seemed to be a magical artifact.
"Little kid, what are you doing with your brother's phone? You might end up in the police station!"
"This is clearly my phone! You stole it when I wasn't looking, you shameless old man!"
The child showed no panic at being caught on the spot, and stared at Bai Mo with a confident and fearless expression.
Bai Mo raised an eyebrow. Why did he feel that this little brat was getting even more excited when he mentioned the police station?
Seeing that people had started to gather around and take pictures, Bai Mo smiled and said, "Little sister, I'll take you to the police station and let them see whose phone it is."
As he spoke, Bai Mo walked out, the little girl carried by him using spatial magic, yelling as if to say, "So what if I'm a magician? I'll go then, who's afraid of who!"
Bai Mo didn't answer; this little brat seemed to be in a real hurry to get to the police station.
So, right under the watchful eyes of the restaurant's greeter, the handsome guy who could have exchanged a few words or even added a WeChat friend was tricked away by that tomboy!
Damn it, this little girl is so seductive at such a young age! She's truly ignorant and incompetent!
Bai Mo had only taken a few steps when he heard a clear, slightly seductive voice beside him.
"Captain, the police station is over there."
However, Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Nujiao, who had gone out shopping, also appeared among the onlookers at some point. When they saw Bai Mo walking over, Jiang Shaoxu pointed in the opposite direction with a grin.
"Why did you two come here?" Bai Mo turned around and walked back, asking the two women who were with him.
"Jiang Shaoxu said there's something interesting happening here." Mu Nujiao glanced at him, only to see Jiang Shaoxu gently asking the little girl being led by Bai Mo:
"Little girl, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid we won't take you to the police station?"
The little girl, no longer displaying her previous arrogant demeanor, looked at the three people with suspicion before finally saying:
"I'm not afraid. The phone is mine, going to the police station won't do me any good!"
The three of them could not deny what he said. In fact, a cell phone was not a big deal to Bai Mo. The reason he caught this little guy was because...
At first, I just wanted to see whose child was so young and already misbehaving. But I never expected that no one would claim them.
Then he noticed that his clothes and appearance were not those of an ordinary person, and then there was the telepathic message that Jiang Shaoxu had just sent him.
This little guy seems very scared; his outward behavior is all an act.
Therefore, they judged that the little girl was probably not simply lost and looking for help, but more likely being targeted by human traffickers or something similar.
As he led the little girl toward the police station, Bai Mo spread out his sonic waves to see if there were any suspicious people.
"Little sister, you're quite pretty. What's your name?"
"It's none of your business."
"My sister is just curious. She's strangely pretty and doesn't seem like the kind of little sister who would steal things."
"Your eyesight is not good."
"Speak properly. If you make your sister angry, I won't hand you over to the police."
"I knew you guys had ulterior motives!"
Hearing the little girl's words, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, alright then. To prove we meant well, we'll have to hand you over to the police. Hopefully, they can help you."
Meanwhile, the group had arrived at the police station. Seeing that the child had so many opportunities on the road and was unwilling to seek their help, Bai Mo and the other two did not insist.
Since she wanted to stay in the police station, Bai Mo proceeded step by step to prove that she had stolen theft.
However, the final result was beyond Bai Mo's expectations. The police officer in the dark blue uniform politely said to Bai Mo:
"Respected Master, we understand the situation. Miss Habs did indeed steal your belongings. According to our country's regulations, she needs to be detained for ten days. However, she is a minor, and her guardian is not with her."
"so?"
"Therefore, according to our country's laws, Miss Habs will be under your supervision for the next ten days. You may now take her away."
The old policeman glanced at the exquisite and adorable Habs, then at Bai Mo, and gave him a knowing look.

What kind of law is this?!
He knew from his past life that some foreign laws were outrageous, and he thought things might be better in this world, but he never expected that there was no limit to how outrageous they could be!
The person who drafted this law, which assigns custody of juvenile offenders without guardians to the victims, must be a genius.
As for the old police officer's sinister hint, he simply ignored it.
"Habs?"
As they walked out of the police station, Bai Mo looked at the little girl who had come out with them, who also looked bewildered, and called out her name.
The little girl's eyes instinctively turned to him, only to see that this somewhat handsome man was looking at the woman with a foxy air.
"She wasn't lying, that's her name," Jiang Shaoxu said softly, knowing why Bai Mo was looking at her.
Nodding slightly, Bai Mo met the little girl's gaze and smiled, "Little one, you've really fallen into our hands this time. Tell me, what happened?"
"I never expected the police department in this country to be like this. You can leave now; we don't need you."
Habs's expression calmed down a bit, and he waved to Bai Mo and the other two with a touch of arrogance.
"We're more powerful than the police, little sister," Mu Nujiao said. She could tell that the little girl didn't seem to want to drag them into this mess.
"You're all so young, you're obviously still students, stop bragging."
Habus pursed his lips, not believing it. His feigned maturity reminded Bai Mo of Lingling. She reached out and tossed her phone to Bai Mo, looked around, and then ran away in a flash.
"Sigh!" Mu Nujiao was about to set off to chase after her, but Bai Mo stopped her. "Let her run, I'll have Feng Ling follow her."
"Alright."
Seeing the gathering of auras that had been hovering around Bai Mo and were almost imperceptible unless one looked closely, Mu Nujiao nodded as she chased after Habus.
It wasn't that they were going to abide by Mexican law and actually take care of Habs for a few days, but rather that they were curious about the things that frightened the child.
Judging from the little girl's clothes and her behavior just now, her family is not ordinary, nor are they locals from Mexico.
If something targets a child or this child, out of kindness, they all want to intervene.
Well, they're just bored.
To Bai Mo's surprise, not long after Habus ran away, the thing that was watching her appeared.
It was probably in the afternoon when he was looking for local delicacies with Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu when he suddenly received a message from Feng Ling that Habus had been captured, and then Feng Ling had captured the people who had captured her.
The location is near a park, where there are relatively few people.
When Bai Mo and the other two arrived at the scene, they saw Habus staring at Feng Ling with wide, curious eyes, and then repeatedly kicking the person who was tightly bound to the ground with ropes.
An ordinary Western face, with tattoos on his bare arms, dressed like a Mafia member.
There were four or five more people like that around.
Judging from their cultivation levels, they are all mid-level mages.
"Who are these people?"
Bai Mo summoned Feng Ling, tapped the little guy as a reward, and then looked at Habus, feeling that he could get the answer from her.
"They are human traffickers! My sister and I got separated from our parents in Chil City and were captured by these people. We were driven all the way to Mexico City, and when we entered the city, my sister used the only magic scroll she had to create chaos and help me escape."
Having witnessed Feng Ling's strength, Habus gained some trust in Bai Mo and the others, and slowly recounted her experiences along the way.
They are still children after all. Even with excellent family education, when they suddenly encounter something like this, and now that they finally have someone to talk to, they start crying as they talk.
Jiang Shaoxu quickly hugged her and comforted her. She was quite good at comforting people, and while comforting her, she managed to get a general understanding of the situation.
Habsburg was a member of the Austrian Habsburg family, and his abduction here was truly an accident.
The people who abducted her seemed to have ulterior motives; they were all sorcerers, and there were quite a few children with them. At the same time, these people didn't care about the Habs family at all.
Her parents never answered calls from unknown numbers, so they couldn't contact them. The reason they found Bai Mo was simply because they liked him.
In Austria, if a minor commits a crime, they are sent to a sanctuary specializing in spirituality to serve as a shepherd and be guided towards goodness. There are highly accomplished monks there to supervise them and provide assistance.
Unfortunately, this is Mexico, and the national conditions are vastly different.
"Brother and sister, can you help Habs find his sister, and his parents too!?"
"We won't be staying in Mexico for too long, but we can still visit your sister," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile. "So, Little Habsburg, do you have any clues you can tell us?"
"I...I have it!" Habs paused for a moment, thinking about how to find his sister, before his eyes lit up and he shouted loudly:
"I have a bracelet made from the horn of a rhinoceros with a hollow core, and I have two of them."
She would occasionally raise her fair little hand, and there was indeed a delicate bracelet on her wrist, crystal clear.
"There's another one on my older sister; they can sense each other."
"It's a rhinoceros with a heart-reading ability! This kind of demon can accurately sense the location of every member of its tribe."
Upon hearing Habus's words, Jiang Shaoxu's eyes lit up. He immediately reached out and grabbed the bracelet on her wrist, channeling a wisp of mental magic energy into it, but then sighed.
"This is not a magical artifact; it only possesses a weak ability of the Heart-Reading Rhinoceros. If the distance is too great, they cannot sense each other."
After speaking, she pondered for a moment, then took out the Mind Crystal, its rich psychic light emanating from her hand, and circled it around Habs's bracelet. Strands of crystalline light then adhered to the Heart-Connecting Bracelet.
"I amplified it with my magic, so it can sense a range of about one kilometer."
"That's already pretty good. Let's interrogate these mafia members."
Bai Mo turned around and looked at the group of people tied to the ground. He frowned slightly because he was not good at interrogating or torturing people.
"Let me do it. There are no secrets in front of a mind-based mage."
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoxu smiled lightly, not feeling anything was amiss. As the captain, his trustworthy qualities and strength were enough.
"Soul-capturing and mind-controlling!"
As Jiang Shaoxu paced, he skillfully constructed a high-level mind-based spell. A surge of powerful mental energy, enough to make one's heart pound, flowed out, and it was all like chains piercing into the black-clad mages who were bound to the ground.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Jiang Shaoxu was born into the military. Although she was not a military magistrate herself, she had learned questioning techniques through her surroundings.
Those trapped were all mid-level mages, whose mental strength was far inferior to hers, so they answered whatever she asked.
Within minutes, he had explained everything.
This group is a Mexican underground criminal organization, but they are more sophisticated than other gangsters because they serve only one person and are responsible for providing children under the age of twelve. They are also organized and are known as Shadows.
They operate under the guise of working for the Bad Wolf Guild, making them a large criminal organization in Mexico.
All the children they abducted were sent to a huge mental hospital in eastern Mexico City.
This underground gang, known as Shadows, has seven high-level mages, which explains why they have become a major criminal organization in Mexico.
As for what the trafficked children do, these people don't know, and it seems that people from Zheying are also not allowed to enter that mental hospital.
"That's the situation, Bai Mo. What do you plan to do?" (End of Chapter)
