Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 87 Deputy Mayor Li Jingming

A subtle ripple of emotion spread out and entered Ai Jiangtu's mental world. Immediately, Zhang Chen's voice echoed in his mind: "Things aren't as he says at all. Should I control him? He's definitely involved in this!"

Zhang Chen naturally sensed Ai Jiangtu's dissatisfaction on the way, hence the question.

Ai Jiangtu actively engaged with the power of mind, a surge of anger welling within him, and said, "Control him!"

"good!"

The scattered spiritual power that had been spreading around them in the next second instantly converged and rushed into the mental world of Deputy Mayor Li Jingming. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Although he was a high-level fully-cultivated mage, his mental realm was far inferior to Zhang Chen's. He was almost completely overwhelmed in his mental world.

"Ask away!" Zhang Chen casually knocked out the secretary next to him and looked at Ai Jiangtu.

Aside from Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and others, the gazes of those who were not very familiar with Zhang Chen were quite complex.

In particular, Guan Yu, Kai Lifeng, and Zu Jiming had a slight fear in their eyes. Where did this person come from? How could he be so lawless and control others without warning?

"Brother, are you that brave? I'm also a mind-body type, how about we discuss this sometime?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile. "No, I have to spend time with Jiaojiao!" Zhang Chen replied immediately, feeling Mu Nujiao's gaze.

Ai Jiangtu asked Li Jingming, whose mind was already under his control, "What exactly is going on with the demons along the coast?!"

The man truthfully replied, "Those demons are merely a smokescreen!"

"What are you trying to hide!?" Ai Jiangtu's tone was already filled with anger. "They want two- or three-year-old children. In order to cover up the fact that they lured this group of Crimson Demons here, they naturally attracted some Sea Monkey Monsters as well, creating the illusion that the children were stolen by the Sea Monkey Monsters—"

"Who are they! What do they need children for!" Ai Jiangtu wanted nothing more than to kill this scoundrel on the spot!

"I—" Li Jingming's face twitched, and gradually black lines climbed up his cheeks.

Zhang Chen reacted swiftly, knocking him unconscious with a chop to the neck, and said, "We can't ask anymore. He's been subjected to a mental attack, and a very sophisticated one at that! That's why I only found out now."

Just as everyone was filled with anger, Zu Jiming asked, "So what do we do now?" Everyone glared at him, and Jiang Yu said angrily, "There's definitely more than just him in Feiniao City who knows this. I'll go investigate! Who's behind this ruthless and insane person!"

"I'm going too!"

Immediately, everyone agreed. Ai Jiangtu also looked angry, but he spoke rationally: "Leave two people to follow Jiang Yu to investigate this matter. The rest of you come with me to the coast to eliminate these demons."

"Then I'll stay!" Nan Rongni said. "Me too," Mu Tingying said. "Alright! The rest of you, come with me to hunt demons," Ai Jiangtu said. Apart from Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, and Nan Rongni, the rest of the group went downstairs. Zhao Manyan looked at the building opposite and suddenly said, "The people in this building will definitely need us. They must be worried about the demons along the coast right now. We can ask them for help and help them get rid of the sea demons. They will provide us with a boat to smuggle us to Japan."

"They definitely know where the Crimson Demon's lair is!"

Having been selected for the Nationalist team, the group was naturally quite intelligent and quickly realized that the people in this building must have invested in those sea-view properties along the coast. Now, because of the siren, not a single one could be sold, and they probably needed us a lot.

So they followed Zhao Manyan into the building. This building was the headquarters of the famous Lin Group in Feiniao City. It could be said that they built half of the new buildings in the city. They were practically city tycoons!

Inside the building, a bearded man in a purple-blue suit sat in the rooftop conference room, his gaze passing through the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking Asuka City and taking in the blue sea.

However, he sighed heavily, walked back to his desk, and marked a large red X on the city's blueprint, making it stand out conspicuously.

"Looks like we've completely lost this time. We can't save Asuka City. What am I supposed to do to compete with people like the Zhao Group? I thought Asuka would give me hope—it's all bullshit!" The man angrily grabbed the blueprints and tore them to shreds!

As soon as they arrived, they heard a man's impotent rage. Zhao Manyan politely knocked on the door. After a long silence inside, a female secretary in a suit opened the door and said, "Please come in."

After they entered, they saw the man sitting in the main seat. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? How did you get up here? What are you doing here?"

Of course, Zhang Chen had mentally controlled the security guards all the way up and walked up on his own.

Zhao Manyan smiled confidently and said, "Who we are is not important, but what is important is that we can help you clean up the coastal demons. Of course, it won't be for free. You just need to do us a small favor and let us ride your ship to Japan."

"Just you guys?" Lin Junxian looked at the group of young mages and said. "Just us! My brothers and sisters behind me are super strong." Zhao Manyan said confidently. "Alright! I hope you won't waste my time. The sea monsters roaming the waters of Feibiao City are a group of sea monsters. There were some signs seven or eight years ago, and their numbers have started to grow wildly in recent years. The city has also sent some hunters to exterminate them, but the effect has been minimal!" Lin Junxian stared sharply at the group of mages who all looked very young. In Lin Junxian's eyes, this group of people was more like a group of students going out for training. Some students from magic academies are very strong, but in fact they are not as strong as the hunters of the Hunter Association, mainly because they lack experience and knowledge.

To defeat demons, you need brains, experience, and real combat skills, not those flashy mage-level badges!

Lin Junxian was from a prominent family. Although he knew nothing about magic, he understood that being a mage did not mean he could exterminate demons. Moreover, it was a sea monster clan. Without a mage escort, venturing in rashly could result in total annihilation!

"You don't need to worry about these things. Since we dared to take this job, we're confident. You don't need to question us so much now. Just give us all the information you have about the siren, help us prepare the necessary items, and then sit here in this elegant office with your secretary and wait for our news." Jiang Shaoxu said confidently. "Okay, your requests are nothing to me. But first, I need to tell you what you're going to do. This isn't something I asked you to do. If your parents, the school, or any other powerful figures behind them want to investigate, don't point fingers at me. This investment has failed, but I still want my reputation," Lin Junxian said.
