Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 88 Strange Fire Magic
"What do you mean?"

Li Yu couldn't help but sit up straight, no longer able to maintain his calm demeanor.

"How do you peacefully take over?"

"30 million! For only 30 million, all the Brotherhood's assets will be yours."

"If Your Excellency is willing, these members of our brotherhood can also become your subordinates."

Li Yu raised his voice.
"Are you planning to sell off the Brotherhood's assets? Why?"

The second brother began to answer one by one.

“Why sell Brotherhood properties?”

He sighed deeply and spread his hands.
"It's too tiring to fight and kill in the Magic City all day long, so my brother and I are going to find another place to make a living."

"Your brothers don't care?"

"What do you care?" The second brother said indifferently:

"They are just a group of people who were recruited to work here. We have to pay them wages and dividends. Giving them some resettlement allowance before they leave is already the most we can do. It is something that everyone is willing to do. My brother and I have not asked them to be loyal or righteous."

"How else could Your Excellency have gotten our news so easily from them?"

Li Yu's mouth twitched. No wonder that group of people sold out their teammates without any psychological burden. It turned out that it was the relationship between the boss and the employees of the company. When the boss was in trouble, the employees would jump ship.

If you encounter an enemy, putting up a symbolic resistance will be enough to justify your boss's salary.

The second brother continued to talk.

"If you need to, you can also renegotiate the terms and sign a contract with them. They will be absolutely loyal, with adequate insurances, overtime pay, and welfare subsidies."

"So you are planning to sell the Brotherhood and its assets to me? Did your eldest brother agree?" Li Yu asked:

"Of course, this is what Big Brother meant."

"Then why do you think I need it?"

"You are very short of manpower, aren't you?"

"How do you know that I'm short of manpower?" Li Yu was a little confused.
"Do you know me?"

"It's very simple."

The second brother laughed.
"If you have enough people, why would you come to the headquarters of our Brotherhood in person? Wouldn't it be better to send a general under your command?"

"Then I can't be working for someone else?"

My second brother looked like you were kidding me.
"My friend, you are joking, right? With your appearance and temperament, can you be willing to be inferior to others?"

"Can you still read faces?"

"When traveling in the martial arts world, it is always good to have many skills!"

Then the second brother continued to sell.

"Although our brotherhood is not strong, we have quite a few people. More importantly, although we are also involved in some shady businesses, we have not violated any taboos, and have not caused casualties among ordinary people. If you are willing to take over, it will be much more convenient even if we need to withdraw in the future."

Li Yu's first reaction was disbelief.

"Don't tell me you haven't done anything like this where magicians fight each other and cause death or injury."

The matter of collecting protection money can be a big deal or a small one, but it is not really a big deal. At least the sentence is not even a few years. However, the Brotherhood had fought several battles with the Shuiyun Society before. Group fights between magicians are bound to result in casualties. This kind of private fight between magicians is absolutely prohibited by the Magic Association.

"It is meaningless for you to say that, Your Excellency."

The second brother shook his head and said lightly:

"Even under the sun, fights among magicians happen from time to time, so how can we avoid private fights in our line of work?"

"There are too many and too complicated things like this, and they are too trivial for the Magic Association to handle. As long as they do not affect the normal lives of ordinary people and social order, and as long as the fights are controlled within a certain range, they are not willing to get involved."

Li Yu did not continue this topic, but changed the subject.
"Then why should I buy it? Can't I just rob it? Even if I kill all of you, the industry will still be mine. If I don't have enough manpower, I can just recruit more."

The second brother slowly withdrew his smile and spoke at a slower pace.
"Your Excellency, are you ready to test our strength?"

Li Yu did not deny it, the lightning and magic energy surged in his palm.
"I would really like to see a wizard who can fight seven of the same level alone."

"Then... Your Excellency, please forgive me."

The second brother raised a smile, the ring on his finger glowed bright blue, and a spherical water curtain wrapped around his whole body.

next moment,
"Fire fist blasts the sky!"

The blazing fist of fire penetrated the screen in the hall and arrived in an instant.

"boom!"

The exploding flame monster swallowed up Li Yu's body in an instant. Behind the broken screen, a figure wearing a hooded long shirt, black trousers, gloves, and a mask covering the lower half of his face, and wrapped up tightly, walked out. A familiar figure appeared, and the second brother dispersed the water curtain that was almost evaporated by the escaping flames, walked forward, and said with some worry:
"Brother, you're being too harsh."

“This affects us a little bit…”

Before he could finish his words, his eldest brother raised his hand to stop him. The latter said in a hoarse voice:

"Stay away."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the second brother's face changed and he stepped back subconsciously. Then a cry of exclamation came from the burning fire.

"This Fiery Fist is a bit strange. Its temperature and power seem to be similar to those of an ordinary Fiery Fist, but it has a very strong adhesiveness. What are the impurities in the flames? Are they the characteristics of spirit seeds? It doesn't look like it! That is..."

"Natural talent?"

Li Yu walked out of the flames, surrounded by a lavender mist. He looked at the two people in front of him whose faces changed with interest, especially his second brother, who had no mask to cover his expression and looked extremely ugly.

The eldest brother, who was wearing a mask, had no expression on his face, but he took the initiative to step forward, blocking the second brother behind him, and said solemnly:

"Xiaoyou, stay away, he has a domain."

Hearing the familiar word "domain", the second brother, who was called Xiaoyou, changed his expression again. Just as he was about to speak, he was scolded by his eldest brother.
"Back off! Didn't you hear me?"

"Ah."

With a barely perceptible hum, the second brother slowly stepped back unwillingly.

"You guys...are going too far."

Staring at Li Yu's figure, the eldest brother said angrily.

"Excessive?"

Li Yu was stunned, thinking to himself that indeed, his current behavior was clearly an act of bullying and robbery, which was indeed a bit excessive.

but……

You, a bunch of gangsters, say I'm going too far?

At most, it's just black robbing black.

"A bunch of rats in the shadows, what's too much."

The star track in front of Li Yu flashed and disappeared.

"Thunder Seal Fury Strike!"

Three consecutive lightning seals fell on the eldest brother's head. With his current level of cultivation, three swift lightning seals could easily deal with most mid-level opponents.

"Ok?"

However, Li Yu miscalculated this time. Purple lightning struck his eldest brother's body, and a faint brown light lit up and quickly disappeared.

"Earth Mage?"

Li Yu's speculation had just taken shape in his mind when three fireballs floated towards him, as if in response to his previous response.

Li Yu did not dodge, the purple mist around him gathered in front of him.
"Eh?"

Li Yu was surprised again today. He was shocked to find that the fragile fireball was not completely swallowed by the purple mist at once. Instead, it stubbornly went deeper in his direction and stopped only two meters in front of him.

This distance is almost equal to the result of ordinary intermediate fire magic.

Li Yu was surprised, and the big brother opposite him also frowned. His fire nebula had mutated, causing his fire magic to be much stronger than that of ordinary mages. Even a higher-level mage had to be cautious when facing his magic, but now he was blocked by a thin layer of mist.

"Fire fist blasts the sky!"

"Wind Mist Wind Tornado!"

The flaming fist collided with the light blue tornado, and the blue flame was stained with a faint red. The wonderful scene made Li Yu's eyes light up, and then they all collapsed.

"Fierce Fist Earth Brake!"

Without giving Li Yu any time to think, a flame like lava came from underground.

"boom!"

The Earth Killing Flower blossomed, and a colorless shield appeared out of thin air on the ceiling. The blocked flames poured down like a flowing lava waterfall, and the center of the fall was Li Yu's position.

Li Yu sighed slightly. As expected, he still had to rely on the Thunder Element in the end.

Just before the lava fell, lightning flashed in the field, and fine arcs of electricity surrounded the body.

"Oh!"
