Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 148 Each with their own ulterior motives

One day later.

Zhaonan City.

In a conference room.

Representatives from the official magic association, the Southeast Asian witch clan, the mixed-blood mage association, and the Chinese national team gathered together.

The people took their seats according to their respective factions.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Chu Ming.

"Kid, you say you've investigated the whole story, are you sure you're not just bragging?" A middle-aged man with a pointed head from the Wu clan asked, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"The culprit behind this curse is none other than your witch clan!"

Chu Ming spoke slowly.

These words were spoken.

The members of the Nanyang Wu ethnic group widened their eyes, slammed their fists on the table, and stood up, their emotions running high.

"Bullshit! That black seaweed is something their Hybrid Mage Association created; it's definitely some kind of siren curse!"

"Are you kidding me!"

"The Siren Curse has caused the greatest losses to the territory of our Wu Clan!"

"That's right, because that thing has completely out of control of our insects; they're definitely targeting us!"

Meanwhile, in the Half-Blood Mage Association on the other side.

Several elders were also angered.

"Stop slandering us. How many times have you done despicable things in the past, only to frame us in the end?"

"You say we created that black algae cloud? Prove it!"

The Chinese mage from the official magic association quickly dissuaded them, saying, "Everyone, don't be hasty. Let's hear what Brother Chu has to say. He must have found evidence to say that."

Chu Ming smiled.

Their gazes were fixed on the guard mage behind a middle-aged man with gray hair from a prominent family of witches.

"There's only one truth!"

Gengar, come out!

Chu Ming's thoughts settled.

In an instant, Mega Gengar emerged from the dark corner, unleashing the powerful Nightmare Illusion!

Immediately afterwards, the guard mage seemed to see some unbelievable and terrifying scene, screaming as his magic surged.

Dimensional magic manifests.

Three cursed beasts were summoned.

"This is??"

"Cursed Beast!!"

"He's a member of the Black Vatican!!"

The entire audience gasped in shock.

The most infamous of the Black Church's monsters is the Black Beast Demon.

The Cursed Beast Demon is an upgraded version of the Black Beast Demon.

It was definitely not something that the black-robed priests could control.

In other words, this guy is very likely a blue-robed butler?!

now.

The gray-haired head of the Cai family twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He never expected this.

That member of the Nationalist government actually managed to uncover some things.

They even dragged the Black Vatican member out on the spot.

Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do but...

His eyes suddenly hardened, and he roared, "The rats of the Black Vatican have actually infiltrated our family! Die!"

As he spoke, poison-based magical energy surged forth.

A swarm of tiny green flying insects released green poisonous gas, instantly enveloping the Black Vatican spy beside them.

what--

A few seconds later, a scream rang out.

The Black Vatican spy was killed by the power of poison and corruption.

And this time.

A system notification sounded.

[Congratulations! You have uncovered the truth behind the Siren's Curse. You have been awarded 2 points!]

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Patriarch Cai, you seem a little anxious?"

Everyone present understood the implication in Chu Ming's words and stared at the Cai family head with suspicion.

"Kid, are you implying that I'm colluding with the Black Vatican?"

The middle-aged man with gray hair frowned.

"I didn't say that." Chu Ming smiled and shook his head, spreading his hands. "Gentlemen, I have already presented the evidence. It is clear that the Black Vatican was behind this incident."

The representative of the local official magic association in Zhaonan City nodded, adjusted his glasses, and characterized the incident as follows: "That explains it. Those out-of-control insects must have been evil creatures created by the Black Church after infiltrating the Cai family, using some wicked methods!"

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

The members of the Nanyang family exchanged glances and then nodded.

Although they didn't understand why the head of the Cai family was colluding with the Black Vatican...

But they knew the Cai family head's personality very well.

He utterly disdained the Black Vatican, those rats.

But they were able to get together.

This proves it.

There's definitely something to be made from this!

And the profits are enormous!!

In that case, it's only right that we resolve this internally through discussion and negotiation.

The members of the Mixed-Blood Mage Association were dissatisfied with the official's biased and conciliatory attitude towards the Southeast Asian families, but now that the Black Vatican's people were dead, any further arguing would be pointless.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Moreover, this siren curse only affected the regions inhabited by the Southeast Asian witch tribes.

For the mages of their mixed-race association.

As long as it can be proven that they have nothing to do with this incident.

The rest doesn't matter.

"Thank you all for your help. The mission reward resources will be handed over to you in a few days..."

The local association representative, wearing glasses, smiled and told Chu Ming and his group to leave.

……

"Old Chu, don't you think these people are all acting strange?"

Back at the hotel, Zhao Manyan couldn't help but ask Chu Ming.

"It felt like a farce, with everyone having their own agenda," Jiang Shaoxu echoed.

to be frank.

They still don't understand it.

What exactly are these three local forces up to?

And then there are those who inexplicably get involved with the Black Vatican.

And the strangest thing is...

The three parties seemed to be completely unconcerned.

"The guys here all have their own agendas, and it's beyond our control."

Chu Ming smiled and said casually.

In fact, after Sharan and Alessa were assimilated into the dragon bloodline.

He was still thinking about it.

Let's see if we can control the Hybrid Mage Association.

But Sharon told him the result.

The so-called Hybrid Mage Association.

It's a complete mess.

It appears to be called the Mage Association, but it's actually just a temporary alliance organization.

to be honest.

An association is only an organization when a crisis arises and a united front against external threats is needed.

These hybrid mages come from various scattered islands of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.

To put it simply, it consists of thousands of villages on the sea.

Different bloodlines, different origins.

There are also frictions and personal feuds between villages.

Sharan is the high priestess of Blue Forest Island.

He was elected as the representative of Blue Forest Island.

Each island had a representative, which eventually formed the Hybrid Mage Association.

It was precisely because I had heard about all the messy entanglements in this area.

Chu Ming decided to stop interfering.

They only incorporated Sharan's villages, and then gradually moved to Asuka City.

……

at the same time.

Inside a dimly lit room.

The leaders of the prominent families in Southeast Asia all showed expressions of surprise and delight, and they chatted excitedly among themselves.

"It's actually a rift in the dark dimension?"

"By the way, Lao Cai, you really don't know who the Black Vatican spy is at the Half-Blood Mage Association?"

"I've asked him many times, but that guy Haiyan only guesses. He doesn't even know which temple it is, he only knows the general location."

"Search for it. Since the seal has loosened, there must be some energy seeping out."
