Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 91 Gone? Back
"Boss, how about we get back to the discussion of the Research Institute?"

Li Wenyou suggested urgently,

"Boss, it's the Research Institute that's targeting us brothers. Isn't it a bad idea for you to protect us?"

"Isn't this a slap in the face of the Magic Association?"

"How about...you let us go?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the Kenji Club."

Li Wenyou: Although I am quite familiar with them, I still don’t want to be that familiar.

Li Yu looked at the speechless Li Wenyou calmly and asked:
"Tell me what's so special about you two that you were targeted by the Research Institute."

Although he is not very fond of the style of the Research and Development Council, it is undeniable that anyone who is lucky enough to be targeted by that group of guys is an outlier. Of course, not an outlier like Li Yu. People like him will be sanctioned by the Holy City, and the Research and Development Council is not worthy of it.

But it is undeniable that these two brothers must have certain qualities that attracted the research group.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Please bear with me, boss."

What Li Yu heard was Li Wenyou's response with a faint smile, his voice was calm and as silent as the abyss of the sea.

"If it doesn't work, just fire both of us."

Li Wenyou started to bring up the old things again.

"If I tie you two up in front of the Institute, do you think they will give me some reward?"

Li Yu suggested jokingly.

"Boss, are you such a person?"

"Why am I not?"

"I don't think so from your appearance."

"Then your ability of face reading is not up to par!"

"No, Master said I can leave the mountain now."

"..."

Li Yu and Li Wenyou kept talking to each other in the messy hall. At the same time, Li Yu had to admit that Li Wenyou had indeed grasped the pain point of the matter.

If it was the Inquisition under the Magicians' Association that wanted to arrest two people, Li Yu might not think too much and would just do it to add two merits to himself in the Inquisition. After all, those who are wanted by the Inquisition are basically wizards who have committed crimes, which is no small matter.

As for the Research Council...

forget it.

We are all aliens, so why should aliens make things difficult for aliens?

Li Yu didn't know why Li Wenyou was so sure that he would not sell the two people, and he was not prepared to break his own code of conduct.

"How did the Research Institute track you down? And how did you determine that you were discovered by the Research Institute?"

Li Wenyou was very happy this time.

"I found a few acquaintances from the Research Institute in the next district. Although I'm running around like a headless fly, there's a good chance that I've found some clues."

"So you're planning to run away?"

"Or else?"

"Okay, I approve."

Li Yu suddenly said.

"so……"

Li Wenyou paused halfway through his words, his eyes widened as he stared at Li Yu.

"You agreed?"

"Or else?"

Li Yu shrugged.

"That's a research meeting. I may not be able to handle it now."

"So, brothers, you two should find better jobs."

It is easy to deal with the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts.

Although the Research Institute is not the king of hell, they have a large group of little devils under their command who are always ready to work for them. Li Yu’s current attitude towards the Research Institute is to keep his distance from it.

"Thank you very much, boss. I will complete the handover of all industries within three days."

Li Wenyou felt relieved. Even if Li Yu was willing, he didn't dare to believe that the other party could really protect him.

Just as he was about to leave with his eldest brother Yan Mu, Li Yu's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Can I see what your eldest brother looks like?"

Li Wenyou's steps stopped instantly.

"Can I say no?"

Li Yu finally began to be considerate.
"Maybe?" "Thank you very much, boss."

Li Yu looked at Li Wenyu carrying Yan Mu out of the room with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Although he said that just now, Li Yu already had the answer in his heart. No wonder it's already summer, and big brother Yan Mu still wraps himself up like a big dumpling, leaving only his eyes and forehead exposed. In all likelihood, there's something wrong with his appearance.

"But that boy wouldn't lie to me, would he?"

The Yansi Association has a bad reputation, and it is easy for people who don't want to get into trouble to stay away from it.

"do not care."

After thinking hard without any results, Li Yu put the matter behind him. Anyway, he had already planted a tracking mark on the other party, so he was not worried about him running away. By getting this ill-gotten gains, the capital for his residence in the Demon City was initially gathered, which would make it much easier for him to do things in the future.

Although he felt a little regretful for not recruiting Yan Mu, who had natural talent, the property he got for free after the fight also made him a small profit.

"Oh, your standards are still too high."

Li Yu patted his head and was filled with emotion. It had only been such a short time, but he already considered even tens of millions of high-quality assets as small change. Whenever he thought of the various expenses after reaching a high level, tens of millions were just the price of a magic tool, and his fiery mood instantly turned cold.

……

Four days later.

"Boss, do all these properties really belong to us?"

Dongzi stood on the top floor of the Nightingale Ballroom. The room that was destroyed in the battle a few days ago had long been restored to its original state. Li Yu sat on the sofa in the corner, drinking tea leisurely and admiring Dongzi's excited dancing.

"What's the fuss about?"

"Yes, yes, I am a young brother who has never seen the world. I have brought shame to you, brother."

Dongzi accepted Li Yu's criticism with a smile. Knowing Li Yu's strength, he knew that the other party really looked down on this asset. The boss was a capable man, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to follow him in the first place.

"How are the Brotherhood's business changes and other people's contracts being negotiated?"

Hearing this, Dongzi straightened his expression and nodded:
"According to your wishes, Boss, we have renamed the Brotherhood to [Panyan Security]. We have abandoned the previous model of collecting protection fees and signed employment contracts with many old merchants who cooperated with the Brotherhood. They pay a certain amount of employment fees every year, and we ensure that their normal operations are not disturbed by external forces."

I don't know why the Li Wenyou brothers gave their family a name that has a strong underworld flavor like the Brotherhood. Although Li Yu is preparing to get involved in the underground world, he still has to keep his public sign clean. The Brotherhood's name that has such a gangster flavor is really a bit unattractive to the police.

"Besides a few scumbags who needed to be dealt with, we took over the vast majority of the Brotherhood's businesses and their subordinates. There weren't many personnel changes. In addition, we increased their salaries a bit, and their morale has stabilized."

"What about the two black market stores?"

Dongzi replied:
"Those legitimate industries that are operating normally don't matter."

"But since you are planning to get involved in the black market, at least the candidates for this job need to be strictly examined. If it is convenient for you, you should try to select or train a few confidants, so that people can feel at ease."

Li Yu nodded. He didn't care about the apparent income from legal industries, as long as the income and expenditure were balanced. But the black market was different. All kinds of heroes came from all over the country, and those who could open a store in the black market were not good people. When the two stores were still under the control of the Brotherhood, they were always controlled by Li Wenyu himself, and the eldest brother Yan Mu was in charge.

The underground black market plays an important role in Li Yu's plan, so it cannot be underestimated. And he can't do it himself, so the best choice is to send someone trustworthy to take charge.

Someone you can trust...

Li Yu thought for a while.

give up.

The candidates are not suitable.

As if sensing Li Yu's embarrassment, Dong Zi took the initiative to change the subject.
"The heads of those industries are going to come visit us today. Do you want to meet them, Boss?"

Of course he had to meet with them, at least the employees had to know who was paying their salaries. Accompanied by Dongzi, Li Yu met with several industry leaders, went through the motions, said some polite words, and he got to experience the life of a big leader.

"These will be in your charge from now on. Just report regularly."

"Also, don't give up the magic shop, keep it open. I have some plans."

"clear."

After some instructions, Li Yu left the Nightingale Ballroom and prepared to return to the school.

"boom!"

As his left foot stepped out of the door, a violent explosion was heard fifty meters away. Two figures rushed into the street in a panic. Then, dozens of ice chains shot out from the alley, and one of them threw a fireball with his backhand.

Bang!
The sparks from the violent explosion splashed on the chains, which were still burning tenaciously. The chains formed by the intermediate ice magic broke one after another under the burning of the inconspicuous flames.

The huge noise made people on the street make wise choices, and soon they all rushed into the shops along the street.

Bang bang bang!
Not long after, all the shop doors were closed, and the staff of the dance hall and the newly appointed general manager Dongzi rushed out, wanting to see how that ruthless man dared to engage in a magic fight in the street in broad daylight, which was simply a disregard for the Magic Association.

Then as soon as he went out, he saw Li Yu who had not left yet.

"Boss!"
Li Yu waved his hand.

"You go in, keep the store closed, don't open today, and don't go out no matter what happens."

"Understood." Although he didn't understand what was going on, Dongzi still strictly followed Li Yu's words and quickly asked everyone to hide in the dance hall.

After a "bang", Li Yu was the only one left on the entire street besides the fighting team.

"Why are you back?"

Li Yu shook his head and sighed.
