Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 40 Preparation for Action
For a long time afterwards, Bo remained the peaceful and beautiful southern town with a steady pace of life. Most Bo people enjoyed a busy and fulfilling but not tiring time.

However, beneath the calm surface, the top-level buildings in Bo City have long been turbulent.

Mayor Bo, Principal Zhu, Zhan Kong, Mu Zhuoyun, Deng Kai, and Yang Zuohe, the same six people, all looked at each other seriously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please integrate the survey results of the past two years."

Mayor Bo was the first to put the folder on the desktop. To become the mayor, even if it was only the mayor of a small city, he had successfully defeated countless people to get to the position. Even though he seemed relatively weak in front of several major forces, it did not mean that he was a fool. As a beginner wizard, he had his own advantages.

We should also be thankful that Bo is just a small city and the scope of the investigation is much smaller than that of a metropolis with a lot of people coming and going. At least the long-term investigation has finally produced some results.

"Let's start with me."

The mayor of Bo City started a conversation:

"There are almost no abnormalities in the municipal government of Bo. There are only a few rats in the finance, logistics and several departments that need to frequently contact with external mages. They have been behaving themselves. "

"If Old Deng hadn't discovered the problem with those mages and followed the clues, they might have taken advantage of us."

At this point, the mayor of Bo looked at Deng Kai with gratitude, and the latter nodded politely.

“But these are just minor issues within Bo’s municipal administration.”

The mayor of Bocheng became serious and looked stern.
"The real trouble comes from the Black Church hidden in the residential areas of Bo City."

"That group of people almost all live in the city as ordinary people, so there is no way to track them down."

"The positions of these people are not critical, but there are definitely a lot of them."

"In order not to alert the enemy, I only checked this place."

The others looked over seriously, the place was just an ordinary French restaurant.

"Is there something wrong with this restaurant? What's suspicious?"

Mayor Bo frowned.
"There is almost no suspicion. It's just that our suspect often comes in and out of there."

"It's just that the order and time intervals are completely irregular, so I can't be sure."

After all, what if they just like the atmosphere of a French restaurant?
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. For the time being, we will include them in the screening list."

"Let's talk about this later."

Then it was the turn of Deng Kai, Yang Zuohe, Zhan Kong, and Principal Zhu. There were not many abnormalities among the military mages under Zhan Kong and the magic school under the jurisdiction of Principal Zhu. Only the military mage Bai Yang and a middle-aged teacher from Tianlan Magic High School were found.

In comparison, the Hunter Alliance and the Magician Association are a bit like the hardest hit areas, with nearly ten mages of each having problems. These less than twenty people can access most of the intelligence of the two forces.

The two leaders of the faction gritted their teeth as they spoke, their teeth itching with hatred.

Finally, it was the turn of Mu Zhuoyun, who had a gloomy face all the time.
"Master Mu, please tell me something. In half a year, the traitor in the Mu family hasn't been found yet, right?"

Zhan Kong ignored the disapproving looks from everyone in the room, took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to puff away smoke.

"Mu Yuang!"

Mu Zhuoyun said a name with a sullen face.

"Our Mu family's spy is most likely this beast."

"Mu Yuang?"

Yang Zuohe muttered for a while, then said in surprise:

"Isn't that the genius of the Mu family that you have been focusing on training?"

Hearing this, Mu Zhuoyun's face darkened even more. Who could have thought that the genius of the Mu family whom he tried to support to be his daughter's right-hand man turned out to be from the Black Church?
Fortunately, this matter has not yet come to fruition, otherwise if the other party really became the steward of the Mu family in Bocheng, once the truth was revealed, the entire Mu family in Bocheng would have no chance of staying in this city.

"He stopped being a lackey of the Black Church the moment he became one."

"Are you sure he's the only one?"

Deng Kai asked cautiously:
"Zhuo Yun, the Black Church cannot afford to be careless about this kind of thing."

"Don't try to suppress the matter and handle it privately for the sake of the Mu family's reputation. If something goes wrong..."

Before he could finish his words, Mu Zhuoyun interrupted him impatiently.
"I am sure that Mu Yuang is the spy!"

"I have personally checked them one by one during this period of time. There is absolutely no problem!" "Are you doubting me?"

"Master Mu, there is no need to be angry. After all, it is better to be cautious in this kind of situation."

The highly respected Principal Zhu came out to smooth things over.

"Since Patriarch Mu said so, there must be no problem."

"Okay then, now that the personnel have been confirmed, we should prepare to take action."

Zhankong said in a swift and decisive manner.

Hands-on?

The others looked at Zhan Kong in confusion. It seemed like you were the one who had been asking everyone to be patient and not take action before?
Is this a sexual transition?

However, everyone who knew that Zhan Kong had inside information also guessed something.

"Kill the air commander, is there something wrong?"

Yang Zuohe asked cautiously, as if he was worried that the walls might have ears even in this specially prepared meeting room.

"An accident? I think so."

Zhankong casually told the terrifying information.
"According to the report from my mages, the Demon Wolf Tribe has become restless recently."

"That group of people have also caught the big fish, and are tracking them down, so they can be found even when they go out for a walk. At this point, there is no need to hide anymore."

"Everything proves..."

"The Black Church has begun preparing for action."

"The knife is at your neck, why don't you strike first?"

No one has any objection to taking action, and this kind of thing should be dealt with quickly to prevent any further complications.

“When should we choose?”

"Choose it during that beast's coming-of-age ceremony!" Mu Zhuoyun said coldly.

"In half a month, I will prepare a coming-of-age ceremony for that beast Mu Yuang. On that day, all the prominent forces in Bo City will come to watch the ceremony, and the attention of the whole city will be focused on the Mu Family Manor. It's a good time to take action."

Indeed, that period of time should be the best opportunity for Bo City's strongest combat force to complete the assembly without arousing the slightest suspicion, and this was unanimously agreed upon.

"I remember you also arranged a duel between Mu Yuang and a guy named Mo Fan?"

Zhan Kong's impression came out, with a slight smile on his face.

Hearing this, Mu Zhuoyun's face darkened even further, almost catching up with his conscience.

"We just need to do it before the duel."

"Ok?"

Principal Zhu and the others sat up straight, refreshed.
"Is Patriarch Mu ready to admit defeat?"

Zui Zhankong laughed loudly and jumped back and forth in Mu Zhuoyun's line of fire.

After all, those present were all prominent figures in Bo City, and they were well aware of the meaning behind the duel at the coming-of-age ceremony. Mu Zhuoyun, the representative of the aristocratic family, was ready to give up the duel, which meant he was giving up the fight for the Holy Earth Spring.

Mu Zhuoyun endured Zhan Kong's provocation. If it was anyone else, he would have taken action long ago, but Zhan Kong was no match for him. Mu Zhuoyun could only say angrily,
"That little bastard got a bargain!"

There is no way. At this point, it is impossible to change the duelist. Otherwise, not only will the news leak out, but the new candidate will also find it difficult to win.

That little bastard Mo Fan was a bit arrogant. Mu Zhuoyun had to admit that, except for that beast Mu Yuang, no one among the aristocratic family students of this class seemed to be his match.

"Master Mu puts the overall situation first, which is a blessing for Bo City!"

Principal Zhu and Deng Kai were delighted. Wow! For so many years, the students of Tianlan, who had been suppressed by the aristocratic families, actually got a big bargain!
The subsequent plan discussions seemed to be going very smoothly. In Bo, a small city where one can run into a lot of acquaintances when going out shopping, the power of the local tyrants who have worked here for decades, when several top leaders join forces, is quite terrifying. A group of rats hiding in the dark will surely die if they are exposed in the light!

Just wait until the coming of age ceremony...

The net is closed!
