Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng fell into deep thought. He knew he couldn't gamble with his life; putting aside his own, he couldn't let this kid lose his life.

Their conversation naturally reached everyone's ears, and they all waited quietly for the outcome. After all, with demons attacking the city and the city on the verge of collapse, having such powerful assistance would undoubtedly put them at ease.

At the same time, they were shocked that such a powerful magician was actually Mo Xie's subordinate, and couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and awe towards this young man.

Amidst the surprised and suspicious gazes, only one gaze, filled with hostility and murderous intent, remained, but it was so subtle that no one noticed it.

Among the crowd, Luo Mian's old face was extremely cold, his eyes revealing a strong malice, and his hands, hidden behind his back, were clenched tightly.

When he heard Mo Xie say that he would find out the truth and bring in a group of powerful magicians, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't panicked.

Zhu Meng was a man of justice, willing to sacrifice himself for the people. He might not have thought his life was worth much, but he was different...

The premise for doing such a thing is the supreme power in their hands. If they lose their lives, what use is the position of a member of parliament?

No, it seems Zhu Meng is wavering. If I really agree to this kid's bet, my secret might really be exposed. I have to stop him!
Immediately, Luo Mian stepped forward a few paces, stroked his goatee, and slowly spoke.

"Zhu Meng, Mo Xie is still young, it's normal for him to be impulsive sometimes. Let's just treat his bet as a joke and continue discussing countermeasures."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Tang Zhong, who had been silent all along, raised an eyebrow, chuckled, glanced at Luo Mian who was pretending to be calm, and asked in a low voice.

“Councilor Luo Mian, if this bet can be taken as a joke, then what else is serious… Of course, if you can summon three super-level mages and thirty high-level mages under the current circumstances, then disregard what I said.”

"Tang Zhong, you..."

Luo Mian's eyes widened, his chest heaved, and his goatee swayed slightly with anger.

The high-ranking officials present exchanged glances, their eyes filled with strange expressions, sensing the subtle hostility between the two.

They were all cunning old foxes. Although the two had been allies before, they were now at odds. Considering Zhu Meng's actions, they understood some things.

The only question is, given this situation, why did Luo Mian still want to refute Mo Xie?
Now that things have come to a head, Luo Mian sees no need to give Tang Zhong a friendly look. He snorted coldly and said to Zhu Meng.

"Zhu Meng, I think this matter should be considered carefully, we can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xie interrupted him impatiently.

“I’m talking to Councilor Zhu Meng, is it any of your business to interrupt?”

Upon hearing these words, Luo Mian's face immediately showed anger, and he glared and puffed out his cheeks, his fingers trembling as he spoke.

"You disrespectful brat..."

"Enough, Luo Mian, now is not the time for you to cause trouble!"

This time, it was Zhu Meng's turn to interrupt, and he shouted loudly.

Having been interrupted three times in a row, Luo Mian was furious. He clutched his chest, his body trembling slightly, his face filled with ferocity.

Zhu Meng didn't look at the furious Luo Mian anymore. He stared at the composed Mo Xie, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Forget about gambling with your life. The group of people behind you is enough to be your bargaining chip. You can change your terms."

Seeing Zhu Meng's straightforwardness, Mo Xie raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. After a moment's thought, he said with a smile, "How about this? If I really find out the truth and solve the plague, you must do me a favor unconditionally, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng frowned slightly. Helping someone out was no problem, but unconditional help... that was a bit tricky.

However, judging from the personality of this young man, he probably won't make things too difficult for me.

After a short while, he sighed, nodded, and said earnestly.

"Alright, kid, I accept your bet. I can give you three days, and that's all I can give you. The second batch of infected people will die in four days. I can't wait any longer after three days."

"If you can really solve the plague, then it won't be a problem for me to help you with just one thing, I can help you with several things!"

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, a sly glint flashed in Mo Xie's eyes, but on the surface he remained very calm and nodded.

Although he originally planned to send someone to help, it wouldn't work without some benefit. The future development of the Evil Heaven Pavilion would definitely require paving the way, and it would be convenient to trouble a councilor with some trivial matters.

"Hey, Xiao Xie, it seems like you did something amazing while I was away."

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open again, and a loud voice rang out.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mo Xie was slightly taken aback and immediately turned around to look behind him, only to see three figures walking into the conference room.

"Uncle Qin, what brings you here?"

The three people who came were Qin Zhan, Mo Fan, and Leng Lingling. It was not surprising that the other two would come, but Mo Xie was puzzled as to why Uncle Qin would suddenly come to Hangzhou.

Seeing Mo Xie's puzzled look, Leng Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, explaining in his ear.

“I asked my dad to come over. He doesn’t have any big bounties lately, so I thought I’d just have him come and help out.”

"So this is ah……"

Upon seeing Qin Zhan, all the senior executives in the conference room immediately stood up, their faces beaming with smiles.

"The Cold Hunter King?"

"It's actually the Cold Hunter King?!"

"Great! With Cold Hunter King here, we don't have to worry about insufficient combat power!"

Cold Hunter King has a renowned reputation in the hunter world. He has solved countless bounties. Putting aside the honors he has received, he is an extremely powerful super-level mage, which is enough to earn him the utmost respect and admiration.

Moreover, with him stationed in Hangzhou, the pressure on the White Demon Eagle clan can be greatly reduced, making him an invaluable fighting force!
"So you're the Cold Hunter King. I've heard so much about you. With you around, the pressure on us is greatly reduced."

A rare smile appeared on Zhu Meng's face. He cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Zhan, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhan smiled slightly at Zhu Meng, nodded in acknowledgment, walked to Mo Xie's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Xie, I have to get involved in something this interesting. Just go ahead and do it without worry. I'll help you out, nothing will go wrong."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Qin." (End of Chapter)
