Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne
Chapter 94 Don't they have any granddaughters?
Chapter 94 Don't they have any granddaughters?
Seeing this, Bai Mo nodded, and Lingling immediately started recording.
"I do have a business relationship with the Lu family. They provide me with protection, and I hand over half of my profits. At the same time, I also scout out children for them, raise them as retainers, and do some shady things for them, such as kidnapping the children of business rivals."
"I have evidence of all these things; the items are located in Building 2, xxx Residential Complex, Jiangzhou Road."
The mountain spirit spoke expressionlessly about his relationship with the Lu family, and just as he was about to finish, a huge fireball suddenly fell from the sky.
The fireball came unexpectedly. By the time Bai Mo noticed it, it had already landed on the mountain spirit. The mountain spirit let out a scream and was then turned into charred remains by the blast.
Bai Mo calmly watched this scene, the spatial wall formed by his will around him keeping the aftershocks of the fireball, whose power was comparable to that of a mid-level spell, three meters away.
His gaze, however, turned to the sky above, to a creature with four enormous cyan wind wings sprouting from its back.
Before Bai Mo could speak, the man lectured him, "Bai Mo, you can't hesitate when it comes to exorcising demons. What's the point of talking to this mountain spirit?"
"I'm interrogating him!" Bai Mo gave him a cold look. "Don't think nobody knows what you're doing, Lu Zhantian!"
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhantian stood high in the sky, his eyes looking down at Bai Mo and the city below.
"I'm slaying demons and monsters, carrying out my mission, fulfilling my duty as a judge, and contributing to a better tomorrow for this city. What can I do!?"
"As for you, Bai Mo, you caused such a huge mess at the Azure Sky Villa last night and even injured my cousin. However, considering your merit in exorcising the demon, our Lu family will not hold it against you. Now come with me to apologize to Bing Feng, and this matter will be over."
Lu Zhantian's words were resounding and full of righteousness. If someone who didn't know him saw him, they might actually believe that he was a magnanimous and wise judge.
"Hmph! Lu Zhantian, do you think the Demon Capital is ruled by your Lu family? That whatever you say goes?"
Bai Mo snorted coldly, completely ignoring Lu Zhantian's apology. The truth had already been recorded on video, and there was no room for Lu Zhantian to use his silver tongue to cover up his mistakes.
After glancing at the lifeless mountain spirit, Bai Mo took Lingling and rode the wind to leave.
"No one can refuse an invitation from me, Lu Zhantian. Since you don't want to go, then I'll invite you!"
As he spoke, Lu Zhantian's wind wings fluttered slightly, and he arrived directly in front of Bai Mo, reaching out to grab Bai Mo's arm.
Bai Mo's brows furrowed slightly. Like Bai Hanxing, Lu Zhantian had already reached the advanced stage, so his cultivation must be extremely profound.
Therefore, Bai Mo had no intention of getting entangled with him. The swirling wind around him suddenly dissipated, and he fell to the ground from the sky with Lingling as if he had jumped off a building.
"Trying to play games with me? You're incredibly arrogant."
A mocking look appeared on Lu Zhantian's face. Today, he wanted to drag Bai Mo to Lu Bingfeng to apologize, and then do some publicity. He wanted to make it clear that Lu Bingfeng and he, Lu Zhantian, were the first people to find a way to deal with the mountain spirit. With this reputation, he could easily become the president of the Beiyushan Tribunal.
Bai Mo, a thief who, relying on his status, wanted to steal the research results of the Lu family!
However, having heard that Bai Mo was already a judge, he couldn't be too obvious about it.
Clearly, he didn't know who had initiated this large-scale operation to capture the mountain spirit. He thought it was the suggestion of that councilor from the Bai family, who wanted to boost the prestige of the Bai family.
It's just unclear what price was paid to get the other members of parliament and the senior councilors to pass it.
For someone like Lu Zhantian, who only has power and profit in his eyes, so-called justice and responsibility, bottom line and morality, ideals and holiness are nothing but a cover for the pursuit of power, empty dreams, and perfunctory gestures to those so-called fools.
Lu Zhantian first let Bai Mo fly down for a while before revealing a disdainful smirk. His wind wings flapped behind him, creating streaks of wind.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Bai Mo, and with a wave of his hand, a wide, almost transparent cloak of wind enveloped Bai Mo.
"How annoying!" A look of disgust flashed in Bai Mo's eyes. He thought to himself that once he reached a higher level, he would slap Lu Zhantian until he was crippled.
Now, all he can do is run.
Another silver bead on the teleportation bracelet on her wrist shattered, and in an instant, a bright silver light array enveloped Bai Mo and Ling Ling.
In an instant, a spatial gate opened, and Bai Mo and Lingling fell into it, disappearing instantly, leaving behind a dreamlike silver light and a man with an unyielding expression.
Lu Zhantian looked around but didn't see any figures in the air. It seemed that Bai Mo had taken the little girl somewhere else.
His four wind wings flapped, heading towards the location of the next mountain spirit kept by a family. As for offending Bai Mo?
Lu Zhantian was the eldest son of the Lu family, while Bai Mo was just a scoundrel from the Bai family. Lu Zhantian thought that if it were Bai Hanxing, it would be worth offending him, but as for Bai Mo, although he had a little reputation, he was not worthy of being compared with him.
On the rooftop of a nearby office building, Bai Mo appeared with Lingling.
"Why do I feel like these members of the Lu family aren't quite right in the head?"
Lingling glanced around and, not seeing Lu Zhantian chasing after her, breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was afraid, but rather that she found it troublesome.
"Who knows what they're thinking?"
Bai Mo shrugged, guessing that the Lu family's mental instability was largely related to the Red Demon.
Having found the stairs leading down and stepped inside, they now had another reason to deal with the Lu family.
First, find the evidence the mountain spirit mentioned, and then look at the others.
At the Jiangzhou Road xxx residential area, Bai Mo and Lingling arrived at the foot of Building No. 2. This is a relatively old residential area, with each building having only three floors, but each building is quite long.
Since there were no surveillance cameras, Lingling became a little detective.
"Sir, are there any houses in this building that have been uninhabited for a long time?"
Lingling ran over to a group of elderly men who were watching others play cards and asked one of the older men who noticed her.
"Oh! What a pretty young lady. As for this building, I don't really know much about it, but it seems like most of the buildings are occupied."
"I know the young lady's family is renting a place here; there's still one vacant room in these two buildings."
"Hey, don't listen to this old man Li's nonsense. Although you often don't see anyone in room 201 of building 3 for months at a time, they're still paying their rent!"
An elderly man wearing a khaki vest said in a loud voice, "Young lady, Grandpa Lin has houses all over this area."
"Hey, who doesn't own a house? Girl, why don't you tell your parents to rent Grandpa Li's place? Mine is more spacious and cheaper than theirs."
Lingling was speechless at the group of old men surrounding her, looking at her like she was a rare sight. "Grandpa, stop randomly claiming granddaughters, okay? Don't any of you have granddaughters?"
However, having already heard the message she wanted, she immediately pretended to be at a loss and ran out.
A group of old men chuckled indifferently; those playing cards continued playing, and those watching continued watching.
Standing next to Bai Mo, who was playing on his phone at the entrance of the residential area like a street urchin, Lingling had already regained her usual calm expression.
"Let's go, we've found it."
So the two of them swaggered into apartment 201, unit 3 of building 2. Bai Mo opened the door, and there was no one else inside. After searching the small apartment, they finally found a suspicious suitcase under the bed.
To prevent the suitcase from having any sinister tricks, Bai Mo used his mind to manipulate space and move the suitcase out.
It was made to float on the bed, and then the space was used to crush the suitcase directly, and all the contents fell onto the dusty bed.
After realizing their worries were unnecessary, the two went over and looked through the items. They found audio and video recordings, money laundering documents, but the most common item was about human organ trafficking, along with some fake certificates.
Surprisingly, there was also a group involved in the adult entertainment industry. Bai Mo shook his head and put them away.
Although these attacks won't kill an entire magical family in one go, they can at least make them bleed and weaken them for a while before demons come to collect their dead.
He doesn't have the strength to defeat Lu Zhantian yet, so he'll ask the Lu family to pay some interest first.
Seeing the enigmatic smile on Bai Mo's face, Lingling knew he was up to something again. This time, his eyes looked very serious, so it couldn't be a joke.
Her clever little mind clicked, and she knew exactly who Bai Mo was planning to trick, so she asked, "Are you planning to use these to deal with the Lu family?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It was the Bai family that discovered the Lu family's improper behavior, actively reported it to the authorities, and cooperated with the authorities and the Mu family to bring the Lu family back on the right track. I'm a good person."
Lingling rolled her eyes. "You're going to drag the Mu family into this too?"
"It's not me, it's the head of the Bai family. He will most likely bring in the Mu family and my mother's Zhuang family. However, the relationship between the Bai family and the Zhuang family has been a bit strained recently. But that doesn't stop the three families from joining forces to suppress the Lu family and make them bleed money."
As Bai Mo and Lingling walked out, he said that he was really telling the truth; there was nothing more for him to do here. He only needed to hand over the evidence to the Bai family head; what else did it have to do with him?
"Should we continue catching mountain spirits?" Lingling asked.
"Arrest them! Why aren't you arresting them!"
"Lu Zhantian will come looking for trouble for you."
"Tell your sister to transfer him to another area." Bai Mo's words stunned Lingling. This method was good, but not entirely proper. However, after thinking about it, she realized that Bai Mo was probably like that too.
"Alright, I'll send a message." Lingling wasn't one to be pedantic, and quickly explained the situation to Leng Qing. She received a reply shortly afterward, which she then relayed to Bai Mo.
"My sister said she would give Lu Zhantian a transfer order to the outer city, and at the same time inform his superiors that Lu Zhantian killed the mountain spirit instead of arresting him."
"If Lu Zhantian doesn't stop doing this, he will be directly ordered back to Beiyu Mountain. My sister also said that Lu Zhantian's direct superior is the presiding judge of the Beiyu Mountain Tribunal, and he can disobey my sister's orders, but he will be punished."
"It seems Lu Zhantian won't listen," Bai Mo said. It's just a punishment; with Lu Zhantian's arrogant attitude, why would he care about that?
However, the important thing is that Lu Zhantian can no longer kill the mountain spirits, at least not openly. So Bai Mo said, "In that case, I'll go back to the Bai family first."
After handing the items to the Bai family head, Bai Mo called Mu Nujiao again. He talked about the mountain spirit and also mentioned his plan to deal with the Lu family.
"I've been focused on my cultivation and haven't been very aware of things at home. I don't know if my family is secretly collaborating with the mountain spirits."
After listening, Mu Nujiao responded calmly. Of course, she supported Bai Mo. Whether from a personal or family perspective, she believed that this was not a bad thing.
"Can I talk to Mu Nuxin about this? She's interested in these family business plans and is better able to persuade my father than I am."
"Of course, just mention it. We don't need to get involved in this kind of thing." After Bai Mo finished speaking, he chatted with her for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
After half a month of searching for mountain spirits in Shanghai, no one saw the figure darting around the streets and alleys with the dark blue round bead anymore.
On the other hand, the "wind-seeking charm" was selling like hotcakes on the streets and alleys, with most residents wanting to buy one to put in their homes to ward off evil spirits.
However, this did not mean the end of the operation. The information and personnel lists obtained by the interrogation mages from each mountain spirit prompted the Magic Association, as well as the military mages and the guard department, to mobilize.
Arrest and capture all those criminals, whether they hide in the shadows or walk openly in the sunlight.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to crack down on human trafficking and fraud, the Bai family, the Mu family, and the Zhuang family joined forces and produced a large amount of evidence about the Lu family's illegal and criminal activities and their protection of evil forces, causing Lu Jiashun to lose a large amount of family property and, more importantly, social reputation.
Even the town of Manye has become a joint property of the three families.
This is what Bai Mo heard from the Bai family head. He was very proud when he said this, so Bai Mo judged that he hadn't fully revealed what else he had obtained.
While the Magic Association and the Inquisition were investigating the lists provided by the mountain spirits, Bai Mo and Ling Ling learned through occasional news reports and Leng Qing's narration that many of the human traffickers actually had some connection with the Black Vatican.
Meanwhile, thanks to the new Wind-Seeking Guide developed by Lingling, cities large and small throughout Kyushu, especially in the south, have launched a major crackdown on mountain spirits.
Furthermore, using the mountain spirits as a lead, they uncovered a human trafficking and fraud organization deeply embedded throughout Kyushu with a wide-ranging and complex history.
However, all of this seems to have nothing to do with Bai Mo and Lingling, who caused this investigation.
In the afternoon, Bai Mo went to the office of Xiao Jun, the head of the Space Department on the main campus, to ask him a question. Knowing that Xiao Jun was a decisive person, Bai Mo skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Teacher Xiao, I'd like to ask, are there any methods to increase the power of space-based magic?"
"There's no other way but to elevate your spiritual realm or perform the Divine Seal Praise. Why would you ask about this?" Xiao Jun looked up and glanced at him with some surprise.
