"Oh, you mean that really nice young man? He went back to Shanghai. Didn't you contact him?" Jiang Chuan asked knowingly.

"I can't get through to him on the phone," Tang Yue said, looking dejected.

Of course you can't get through.

The communicator was turned off before leaving White Town, so it's no wonder it wouldn't get through.

"Don't worry, he's not in danger," Jiang Chuan reassured him with a smile.

Tang Yue wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by Tang Zhong's gaze, so she had to give up.

…………

A few hours later, at the Magic Association.

Many high-ranking officials from Hangzhou gathered here to discuss Chuanhe, this suddenly appearing super-level mage.

All information about Chuanhe was laid out before everyone.

The owner of Chuanhe Magic Tool Shop, a high-level hunter with super-tier cultivation, whose strength, element, birthplace, and birth date are unknown...

The long string of ominous signs that followed made everyone frown.

What do you all think?

Zhu Meng glanced around, but couldn't discern anything from the expressions on everyone's faces.

"In my opinion, the guardian status of Chuanhe Shopkeeper is genuine, and Judge Tang should be able to testify to this," Li Tian said.

Tang Zhong spoke up at the right moment, affirming, "The identity of Chuanhe Shopkeeper as a guardian cannot be faked; I can testify to that."

"Um."

Zhu Meng nodded slightly: "In any case, the shop owner of Chuanhe is on my side. It is true that he saved millions of people in Hangzhou, and it is also true that he destroyed the White Demon Eagle Clan and the Silver Sky Lord. He is a hero of Hangzhou."

"That's right, he is our savior in Hangzhou. Although the owner of Chuanhe Store didn't mention it, we should still express our gratitude," said the representative of the Hunter Alliance.

The only two identities the owner of the Kawawa shop currently holds are that of the Kawawa Magic Tool Shop owner and a hunter.

Originally just a novice hunter, he leveled up to a high rank after the plague bounty was resolved, and was only one step away from becoming a hunter master.

It is said that the Hunter's Alliance is reassessing the severity of the Hangzhou incident and is very likely to significantly increase the contribution points for the Plague Bounty.

Once the assessment is passed, the owner of Chuanhe will directly become a Hunter Master.

Therefore, the Hunter Alliance naturally feels closer to them.

"Is Luo Mian's seat in parliament vacant?" someone wondered, recalling Luo Mian, who was sitting in jail awaiting trial at the Supreme Court.

His words drew criticism from some people.

Countless people are eyeing the parliamentary seat, and it seems they want to give it to a super mage who suddenly appears out of nowhere. How can they accept that?

No matter what, it's impossible to let outsiders come to Hangzhou and get a share of the pie.

"What's wrong with handing the council seat to the owner of Chuanhe Store? In terms of strength and contribution, what aspect does he not meet the requirements of a councilor? If you ask me, many councilors' contributions are not as good as those of the owner of Chuanhe Store," the representative of the Hunter Alliance echoed.

Someone immediately retorted: "What about his identity? What about his background? Shouldn't we at least know his background? If he's a member of the Black Vatican, can you take responsibility for your statements today...?"

"Bullshit! The main owner of Chuanhe Store is the Black Vatican, and Xuan She would never be close to him!" Tang Zhong roared in anger.

The appearance of the term "Black Vatican" seemed to be the fuse, and the huge conference hall turned into a noisy marketplace.

If those people were to see that the great figures they used to look up to could have such a side, they would probably be astonished.

The entire meeting lasted a full half-day, and amidst the noise, the various factions finally reached a consensus:

The owner of the Chuanhe store was made an honorary councilor of Hangzhou, possessing most of the privileges of an ordinary councilor.

When Jiang Chuan, who was preparing to leave Hangzhou, heard this news, he was shocked.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

It was truly unexpected that he could become an honorary councilor of Hangzhou.

With this added status, Chuanhe Magic Tool Shop's business can undoubtedly grow even larger.

With the Xuan Snake by his side, the previously troublesome expansion problem was completely solved.

The search for talent needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

.........

After accepting the title of honorary councilor, Jiang Chuan was personally seen off by Zhu Meng and others outside Hangzhou City before his departure.

"Your Excellency Chuanhe, on behalf of everyone in Hangzhou, I would like to thank you again for your help to Hangzhou," Zhu Meng said sincerely.

"You're too kind, Councilor Zhu. Helping a place like Hangzhou, a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, is what I should do," Jiang Chuan said sincerely.

That's how the adult world is sometimes; you have to give me a compliment, and then I have to give you a compliment, and everything will get going.

Zhu Meng laughed heartily: "When it comes to outstanding people and beautiful scenery, Hangzhou can't compare to Shanghai. If you meet a junior mage you admire in Shanghai, you can recommend him to us so that he can have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the National Team."

Jiang Chuan took his casual remark to heart.

"Alright, everyone, let's stop here."

"Goodbye!"

Jiang Chuan bid farewell to everyone, and was lifted up by the shrunken black snake, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"What? The Plague Bounty has already been completed?" Lingling's voice suddenly rose as she looked at the computer screen showing that the Plague Bounty had ended, finding it hard to believe.

She thought she had acted very quickly, having already investigated the blood serum and was about to uncover its secrets, when someone else finished ahead of her. Who could it be?!

"No, repeat what you just said?" Mo Fan suddenly turned around.

Having just finished a challenging project, I rushed off to Hangzhou without even taking a break.

The bounty was almost complete, and I was about to receive a generous reward, but then you tell me that someone else has already finished it.

Holy crap!

"See for yourself." Lingling pushed the computer over in an annoyed manner, and Mo Fan leaned over to examine it.

As expected, it contained the words "ended".

Mo Fan's face darkened.

"We're too late," Lingling said helplessly.

"Now look what's happened. After working so hard for so long, I'm going home with nothing to show for it. It's just awful." Mo Fan shrugged, feeling upset but determined to go back first.

"Being able to witness a monarch-level battle and so many super-rank mages, this trip wasn't a complete waste of time," he consoled himself.

"No, I need to know who finished the bounty before us." Lingling was determined to compete, her slender fingers clattering on the keyboard.

Before long, after paying a considerable price, the vast intelligence network on the computer revealed the full picture of the Hangzhou incident.

After reviewing the information about the Hangzhou incident and the person who completed it, Lingling surprisingly remained silent, as Mo Fan had expected.

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan curiously leaned over, his eyes scanning the screen, and immediately understood why Lingling was behaving this way.

So it turns out he's a high-level mage, the one who controls that towering serpent. That's not surprising.
