Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 26: Killing the Rich

“Will the cost be too high?”

The lair of a commander-level demon is not something that ordinary people can reach. A beginner magician will most likely die without a complete body. It is also extremely difficult for a mid-level magician to successfully sneak near a commander-level demon. If he exposes his whereabouts by mistake, he will also die.

Intermediate-level mages are rare in Bo City, so how could they be wasted on a surveillance mission with an unknown outcome and extremely high risks?
To take a step back, even if they are ruthless enough, how many of the mid-level mages in Bo City who are already in high positions and living a life of luxury are willing to step forward?

Zhan Kong knew all the difficulties and stopped insisting. Instead, he changed the subject.
"How about this? I'll have my men go around the dens of those demon leaders every month so that they can find any clues in time. How do you think?"

Eh? !!
Now the others became excited.
"Could it be the Sky Eagle Mage who killed the Military Control Commission's men?"

Principal Zhu said in a surprised tone that the Southern Wolf Tribe were basically land beasts, few of them had the ability to fly, and the only ones who could return safely after completing their mission were this group of flying Sky Eagle Wizards.

"good."

Zhankong nodded.

"What about the Winged Wolf?"

Among the leader-level monsters in the area around Bo City, the Winged Cang Wolf is a freak because he can fly! Although the Sky Eagle Mage is powerful, he is still not good enough in front of the Winged Cang Wolf.

"I will go there myself, Yi Canglang."

"Then... I'll trouble you to kill the Air Force Commander."

"Yeah yeah……"

"..."

Zhan Kong didn’t care about the gratitude and courtesy of the crowd. Instead, he showed a malicious smile and said while the others were feeling uneasy:

"Everyone, although my subordinates are not weak, facing a commander-level demon is still risking their lives. And we are acting on our own and lack material support from our superiors, so..."

It's bad! I've been ripped off!

The others were shocked.

"Kill the military commander~"

Before Zhan Kong finished speaking, Principal Zhu, who was sensitive about money, spoke first. There was a sad and miserable atmosphere around him.
"I know that the military has made great sacrifices for the peace of Bo. We Bo people have seen this. I also hope to do my part for the defense of Bo."

"However, our education sector in Bo City is already short of money. As the principal of Magic High School, I am always worried about the school's education funds. You can go and ask around. I go to the Bo City Finance Department all the time, and the civil servants in the municipal building all know me.

Therefore, regarding material support, we are really powerless~"

Principal Zhu is a ruthless person!

Everyone secretly gave a thumbs up to Principal Zhu!
Zhan Kong also looked at Principal Zhu in surprise. It was the first time he saw this old principal who had devoted his life to the education of Bo City act in such a manner. Now that things had come to this, Zhan Kong, who had not intended to speak to Principal Zhu in the first place, waved his hand and waived Principal Zhu's share.

It actually works!

Everyone's eyes lit up and they were about to speak.
"Don't tell me you have no money!"

Zhan Kong seemed to have expected this, his eyes widened and his aura was terrifying.

"Yang Zuohe, don't think I don't know that your Magic Association is rich. And Deng Kai, the Hunter Alliance manages all the hunters in Bo City. How dare you say you don't have money? As for Mu Zhuoyun, the head of the Mu family, your Mu family is the number one family in Bo City. You have a hand in most of the industries in Bo City. Saying that you don't have money is a slap in the face of the Mu family, isn't it? Even if the Mu family is not rich, your family alliance should not be short of money, right?"

"mayor……"

Zhan Kong turned his head and met the eyes of the mayor of Bo City, who seemed to be about to cry. His conscience, which was almost non-existent, was slightly aching. The noble families, the Magic Association, and the Hunter Alliance of Bo City had taken away most of the power of Bo City. The position of the mayor of Bo City sounded impressive, but in fact, not many people cared about it. Therefore, the government of Bo City was indeed not rich. He could only say:
"It's enough for the mayor to just show his appreciation."

He immediately received the heartfelt gratitude of the mayor of Bo City. This rogue military commander who always threatened to confiscate property was actually a good person!
"Then how much supplies do you think the Air Force Commander needs?"

At this point, it was impossible not to pay. Mu Zhuoyun and the other three fat sheep looked at each other in silence, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes, but after all, it was related to the safety of Bo City, and when the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be safe, so they had to grit their teeth and prepare to pay.

"Not much, 10 million per family."

Zhan Kong raised one hand with a smile, and spread out his five fingers like a big slap to hit the three people's heads heavily.

"what?"

"Ten million!"

"Why don't you go and grab it!"

The three men's faces changed drastically and they almost overturned the table on the spot. They were really out to rip off their rich customers!
Ten million is enough to buy two brand new Stardust Magic Devices. Even if you have money, you can’t make them this way!
Do you really think they have few places to spend money?

"Is it much?"

Zhan Kong shook his head. He was just robbing, wasn't he? There was nothing he could do. The military was still a little poor and he had to cherish his subordinates. He would at least go to the lair of the demon commanders to fleece them as much as possible.

"You have to understand that this is not a one-time or two-time mission. This is a long-term mission that will last at least a year."

"That is to say, my subordinates need to risk their lives and hit the demon's head a dozen times!"

"Use your little remaining conscience and ask yourself whether this money is too much or not!"

A dozen times?!

The three people who wanted to jump up and down suppressed their actions and thought deeply. Ten million per family means less than one million per family on average. It is better to invite the Sky Eagle Mage who is considered the elite among the mid-level mages...

It doesn’t seem like a loss!
Just when they were about to accept this condition, Zhan Kong spoke again, bringing an unexpected surprise.
"Of course, if you don't want to pay, you can exchange it for corresponding training resources."

"As long as the final market price meets the figure of 10 million, it will be fine."

Oh?
"Is this true?"

Yang Zuohe looked at Zhan Kong suspiciously. Could this gangster be so kind?
You know, almost all three companies have their own internal channels, and the internal price of related resources is definitely much cheaper than the market price. Ten million cultivation resources may only cost six or seven million.

"Hey~"

"Yang Zuohe, do you really think I'm greedy for your money?"

Zhankong shook his hands and said impatiently:

"If the approval process within our military wasn't too complicated, I wouldn't bother giving you this advantage. Remember to send the resources to the post station when the time comes. And they must be resources that can be used by mid-level mages."

"In that case..."

The three big households also had no objections.

"In a week, all the resources will be delivered to the Xuefeng Mountain Post."

Soon after the meeting, everyone left and went about their own business. Mu Zhuoyun and the others began to allocate resources.
"Brother, what is the purpose of transferring these mid-level magician resources?"

Mu He, the Mu family's chief butler, took the list in his hand, looked at Mu Zhuoyun with a puzzled look on his face, and said in confusion.

Intermediate-level mages are quite scarce in the entire Bo City. Although the Mu family in Bo City is wealthy and powerful, there are really not many intermediate-level mages, and the resources of the corresponding level are even fewer. With Mu Zhuoyun's move, the resources related to the entire Mu family have been reduced by half. Mu He naturally has to inquire about such an abnormal behavior.

Mu Zhuoyun didn't say much about this, but just brushed it off casually.
"Don't worry about it. Just do what I tell you to do."

Mu He didn't say anything more and went to mobilize resources according to Mu Zhuoyun's instructions.
