Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 84 Taking in a Little Brother
In Hunter Town, Li Yu was handing over things to someone from the Inquisition.

"Seven people, one dead, three disabled, two seriously injured, one slightly injured."

"This is the video evidence of the seven members of the Tiger Fang Squad committing murder for money."

The judge looked across and then at the members of the Tiger Fang team who were being carried on stretchers with injuries that made even the healing mage frown. His eyelids twitched. Although injuries were inevitable during the arrest process, he always suspected that the miserable condition of this group of people was deliberately caused by the master hunter in front of him.

However, the judge wisely did not pursue the matter. Who would be so stupid as to condemn the Master Hunter for his bravery and righteousness just for a group of scum?

In particular, this master did not just talk nonsense, but provided solid evidence, which saved a lot of time and we only had to investigate in the direction of the evidence.

The judge put away the evidence video and said:
"Thank you for your help. We will speed up the interrogation of these scum hunters and give the victims a satisfactory explanation."

There was another point that surprised the judge. According to the other party, he arrested these people in the Qinling Mountains, dozens of kilometers away from the Hunter Town.

Just two people managed to bring seven people back, and even carried back the bodies. This was not an easy task.

People came to the trial very quickly and left just as quickly. The entire process of receiving the personnel took no more than an hour, and they even completed a simple questioning of Dongzi, the only remaining member of the Tiger Fang team.

Dongzi came to Li Yu with a grateful look on his face and almost knelt down on the spot.

"Thank you, senior, for your help."

Dongzi's life these past two days has been full of ups and downs. First, he was cornered by the scumbags of the Tiger Fang Team, and he almost couldn't turn back.
Then the Tiger Fang team was wiped out by the hunter master who was taken advantage of by the blind man, right in front of him!

Seven mid-level mages and experienced hunters, you can't catch them all in a short time even if you are seven pigs. They were defeated by this guy within a minute. During the whole process, only the captain Lao Wen who responded in advance released a Fierce Fist magic.

The rest didn't even have time to release basic magic before they were crippled by several bolts of lightning.

Dongzi knew very well that if the master had not required some of the people to be kept alive for trial, the seven people would not have lasted more than thirty seconds.

Moreover, if this big guy had not explained for him in front of the trial and saved his life, it would not be as simple as asking a question. He would most likely have to spend time in the trial's cell with other "good" teammates.

"I have no way to repay you for your kindness, senior. I can only serve you like a slave..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Li Yu stepped on the brakes in time.

"I don't need you to work like a slave for me. It just happened to be the right time. I would have done the same thing even if it wasn't you."

At first, Li Yu thought that the Tiger Fang Squad was of the same ilk, and planned to make the entire team disappear in the mountains after solving the problem of the Steel Fang Demon Tiger.

Unexpectedly, when Li Yu was about to look for the trace of the Tiger Fang Squad, this group of people actually turned back and told Li Yu their methods of committing crimes in his ear, saving him the trouble of collecting evidence and giving them the opportunity to enter the trial cell and save their lives in disguise.

Now that we know that Dongzi was an innocent victim and that he was slaughtered for 400,000 yuan, there is no need to kill him all, so it is natural to save him at the same time.

"The Tiger Fang team is gone. You should be more careful in the future and don't be fooled by others easily."

"You are more or less a mid-level wizard. If you want to live a comfortable life, just go to a third- or fourth-tier city. Even if you can't go any further, you can still live comfortably. Since you have chosen to walk on the path of magic, don't complain about the world."

Although Li Yu didn't like the aristocratic families as a group, a bunch of parasites who relied on their family power to occupy public resources, engage in corruption and abuse of power, and oppress the lower classes, they were all like phantom gods in internal wars, submissive to the outside world, showing their true colors of lackeys, but they struck hard at the inside, demonstrating the style of the aristocratic families.

Except for a very few, almost all of them put family interests first. As long as it is good for the family, they will do it even at the cost of selling out national interests.

The world is unfair, but it is not a reason to harm the innocent and kill for money. Becoming a magician is already beyond most ordinary people. Even the worst beginner magician, as long as he is content with the status quo, can live a well-off life, which is envied by most ordinary people struggling at the bottom.

Li Yu left a final word of advice and turned to leave, but was stopped by a shout from behind.
"Senior, please wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Li Yu turned around. After collecting all the materials, he was eager to complete the magic tool as soon as possible and was already eager to go home.

The young man named Dongzi asked cautiously but expectantly:

"I wonder if you need help, Senior?"

The implication of this sentence is quite obvious. Li Yu asked:
"Want to follow me?"

Dongzi nodded quickly. He finally understood that these days, if you want to make it in this world, you must have a big backer. Dongzi didn't know if he would run into a den of wolves like the Tiger Fang Squad again in the future, so it was better for him to follow this ready-made old man in front of him.

The fact that the other party was willing to forgive the past and help him get out of the whirlpool of the Tiger Fang Squad was enough to make Dongzi believe in his character. At least he was definitely not a scumbag like the Tiger Fang Squad.

"Then why should I accept you?"

Dongzi knew that whether this wave would succeed or not depended on whether his answer could satisfy the other party, so he sorted out his thoughts.

"Senior, I can help you search and organize the bounty information."

The part that hunters care about most is the bounty. There are many benefits to completing the bounty. The only drawback is that the bounty information is not available for checking with one click. Many times, it takes a dedicated person to spend a lot of energy to query and screen the information in order to choose the bounty that best suits the hunter.

In Dongzi's opinion, a master like Li Yu definitely has such a need.

However, Li Yu shook his head.

"I don't need it. This kind of thing is part of the fun of my life. I don't need anyone else to do it for me."

Collecting bounty information is indeed a big hassle, but Li Yu cares more about the accuracy of the information. Before finding reliable teammates, he can only choose to do it himself.

Even if the demand is high, this teammate will not be a fool who falls into the trap of a robber gang.

"I can help you deal with the harvest from hunting monsters. Just give the harvest to me, and I will never let you suffer any loss. You have experienced my eloquence, so there will be no problem for me to do this." Dongzi did not give up.

Li Yu nodded slightly. Indeed, the fact that he could make her willingly pay 800,000 yuan also represented his eloquence in some ways.

"But I still don't need it. My harvest has a fixed processing channel, and our current cooperation is quite smooth. There is no need to look for other channels."

If it were in the past, Li Yu might have considered it, but there is no need now. The Shi family's business is about to be expanded, and by then, it will be able to help Li Yu solve almost all logistical problems, and the reliability of the family is unmatched by other channels.

Ok……

Dongzi was silent. He finally accepted the fact that he was a loser. Forget it, he might as well stay in any remote place. If he couldn't make it in the big city, he might as well go to a small county town and be a pimp.

"That disturbs you, Senior."

Dongzi turned around and tried to leave, but this time it was Li Yu who stopped him.
"I need a little brother who can run errands for me. Five million a year. Are you willing to follow me?"

Dongzi raised his head from where he had been hanging down, and said excitedly:
"I am willing to accept it. Thank you very much for taking me in."
