Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 89: Take the money or get stabbed
"What kind of magic is this?"

The eldest brother's face changed drastically and he couldn't help but take a step back. He saw that Li Yu was completely wrapped in a layer of lightning that looked extremely thick. Dense lightning arcs surrounded his body like a dragon, isolating all the lava pouring down from the top of his head.

"Super-class magician? No, it should be a magic tool!"

Before a magician reaches the supernatural level and masters supernatural powers, he can only release magic according to the star track map and the arrangement of stars in the constellations. The magic of each category and each level is fixed, but the spherical lightning shield in front of him obviously does not belong to any lightning magic before the high level.

As for the super-class wizard who can change the form of magic?

A super-class wizard personally came out to deal with them...

But you think too highly of them.

The only possibility is advanced defensive magic tools.

"It's quite cruel!"

Li Yu, who was protected by the shield, had no time to care about the thoughts of the two people opposite him. He was just a little annoyed by the embarrassment caused by his underestimation of the enemy. It was undeniable that the opponent's natural talent and fire magic were indeed a bit strange, but with his attainments in wind magic, he was confident of a quick victory and dodge.

If you were a little more careful, you wouldn't have to expose the special features of the lightning element in front of others.

"Now……"

"It's my turn!"

"Wind track floating shadow!"

Invisible wind tracks covered the entire floor. In front of the shocked eyes of the two brothers, five materialized figures rushed towards the eldest brother. The latter gritted his teeth, earth magic energy surged out, lowered his body, slapped his hands on the ground, and released the magic he had prepared in advance.
"Rock barriers!"

Heavy rocks rose in front of them, giving the eldest brother a sense of security. As he watched, five figures crashed into the rock wall.

"puff!"

Under the shocked gaze of the eldest brother, the five figures all shattered. Subconsciously, with a thought of the star track, a fireball was thrown behind him.

"Burst with fire!"

"Oh!"

The fireball that failed to hit the target exploded under the control of the eldest brother's mind, and the sparks in the sky seemed particularly bright.

"Brother, be careful up there!"

At this moment, the second brother Xiaoyou, who was hiding in the corner, anxiously reminded the eldest brother. The eldest brother subconsciously looked up and a fist kept getting bigger in his sight.
"Oh!"

The fist made close contact with the eldest brother's head. The eldest brother felt a huge force coming at him, and then he felt dizzy and fainted on the spot. The only remaining memory was that he was surprised that the other party's fist was so hard.

Li Yu rubbed his slightly numb fist. The residual burning sensation made him a little confused. If he guessed correctly, the other party should have a special magic weapon that could transform his earth magic energy into an earth element shield that covers the whole body anytime and anywhere.

But why, in addition to the earth element, does his fist also cause slight fire element damage?

There is only one thing that is certain, the natural talent of the person in front of him is extraordinary, at least much more troublesome than an ordinary spirit wizard.

Just as he was about to pick the other person up, a shout came from the corner.
"Wait a minute, my friend!"

Li Yu paused and looked over the direction of the sound.

"You seem a little impatient?"

Before he could do anything to the second brother, the other party jumped out on his own.

"No no no."

The second brother shook his head. He was just an ordinary mid-level mage and was not qualified to challenge the powerful mage who easily knocked down the eldest brother.

Therefore, if you want to get the big brother back, you have to take a roundabout way.

"My friend, we have always believed that peace brings wealth. As long as you can let us two brothers go, everything in the Brotherhood will be yours."

"peace brings money?"

Li Yu was a little bit unconvinced, because the person who had just attacked him cruelly was lying at his feet.

and……

"If I kill you, the Brotherhood's things will also be mine."

"No no no."

The second brother shook his head again.
"My friend, believe me, as long as my brother and I die, even if it's just an accident, everything in the Brotherhood will be taken over by the Magic Association, and you will not get any benefit at all."

"Magic Association?"

Li Yu frowned. Things would become quite tricky once this huge monster was involved.

"As long as you are willing to show some mercy, all the legal assets of the Brotherhood will be transferred to your name within 24 hours, and the gray assets can be transferred before dawn today. These are absolutely high-quality assets, and you can also get an additional 5 million in cash compensation."

"Everything, or nothing."

"I believe my friend that you can make a wise choice." After hearing the other party's proposal full of temptation and hidden threat, Li Yu touched his chin and did not hide his excitement.
“It’s a bit tempting!”

Getting rid of these two insignificant people in front of me will not only bring no benefit, but will also result in the loss of a large amount of ill-gotten gains. No matter how you look at it, it is not worth it.

Seeing Li Yu's reaction, the second brother felt relieved. As long as he liked her, it was fine. At least there was still room for negotiation.

Not long after, Li Yu gave a reply.
"Add one more condition."

"What conditions?"

"You two will stay under my command for a year."

The second brother frowned, and then asked calmly:
"why?"

"I need you to help my subordinates familiarize themselves with the situation in this area."

"I can recommend you some suitable candidates."

"I want you."

"No, you deserve better."

“I think you guys are pretty good.”

“This is really not okay.”

"Why?" Li Yu asked puzzledly.

"The salary is not a problem. You and your elder brother are special talents. Your basic salary is 5 million per year, and your elder brother's is 10 million. If you make contributions, you will receive generous commissions. This condition is much better than that of many noble families."

This treatment was not just a perfunctory remark from Li Yu, but came from the heart. At least the unconscious guy next to him was worth it. A mage with natural talent was definitely worth the price, and he was more or less a good fighting force. Training him could also help him deal with a lot of troubles.

Although the second brother who bargained with him was just barely capable, he was somewhat of a management talent, so even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose too much.

"Gulu."

After hearing the treatment offered by Li Yu, the second brother admitted that he was shamefully tempted. He and his eldest brother had been running the brotherhood for three years, and their combined income was only 30 million.

For the 30 million, one of the brothers racked his brains for development, while the other worked hard to improve himself. From time to time, he risked his life to exchange magic with the Shuiyun Society next door, and occasionally he had to clean up the mess for the unreliable younger brothers below...

Talking about all of these, it's all a tearful mess.

And now, Li Yu actually offered such a high price to keep them...

and so……

"Mr. Meng is so kind, but my brother and I are not very talented and well-educated, so I'm afraid we can't take on such a big responsibility."

The second brother still refused. He had stayed in this place long enough and it was time to leave.

"Don't agree?"

Li Yu muttered to himself:

"It seems like we should just get rid of these two guys!"

The sound reached the second brother's ears just in time, and the latter's face changed and he stepped back.

"My friend, you have to think clearly. You will gain nothing by killing us."

"I don't need this little money." Li Yu took out a dagger from somewhere and flipped the butterfly in his hand. Watching the dagger going up and down in the other party's hand, the second brother broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that if he was not careful, the dagger would fall to a place where it shouldn't fall.

"My friend, why do you have to pick on my two brothers? I can also recommend other talents to you! I can guarantee that they must be talents who can assist the king."

In a hurry, the second brother's bragging gradually became unrealistic, while Li Yu's attitude was like a reef in the sea, unmoved.

"I'm attracted to both of you."

"The twisted melon is not sweet!"

“But it quenches your thirst.”

Li Yu had no expression on his face.

"I'll give you ten minutes to either get a high salary as an executive or get stabbed to death."

"Choose one yourself."

"One more thing, don't think about pretending to be nice to me or trying to sneak into Chencang. I am absolutely sure that I can hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

After a long while, the second brother sighed slightly.

"One year, right? My eldest brother and I agreed."
