Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound, and they all looked towards the school gate.
A Land Rover had just stopped when it was revealed that the driver was none other than Xiao Sun from the Magic Association. The person speaking was a man who got out of the back seat.
Around fifty years old, he was in the prime of his middle age. Of medium height, with a robust yet elegant physique, he exuded a composed and confident air. Although his hair had thinning silver strands, it was neatly combed, adding to his maturity and composure. Wearing a dark suit and a sophisticated tie, he appeared both professional and dignified.
"President Lei, what brings you here?" Jiang Fengtao's face looked somewhat unnatural, especially as blood dripped down his scalp, leaving streaks on his face, making him look even more ferocious.
"Ha, thank goodness I came. So the Jiang family is this arrogant now. A school principal officially authorized by the Magic Association, you actually managed to bully and kill him so casually." Chairman Lei's tone was very stern.
"Lei Cangqiong, stop with your sarcastic remarks." Jiang Fengtao's expression turned cold, and his words became even more pointed. "As the president, you've repeatedly obstructed my Jiang family's application for school operating qualifications. Do you really think that just because you're the president of the J City Magic Association, you can control everything?"
"Your Jiang family's behavior is so disgraceful. If we let you run schools, ordinary people will have no way to survive."
"Don't put on that righteous act. The other three families in J City all have partnerships with different magic high schools in J City. My Jiang family must also find a magic high school to partner with. If it weren't for your obstruction, how could my Jiang family possibly have any interest in this dilapidated Ninth High School?"
“I have never stopped magic training institutions from cooperating with various magic high schools. It’s because your Jiang family’s behavior is so unseemly that no school is willing to cooperate with you. As a result, you set your sights on Ninth High School.”
"I don't want to argue with you." Jiang Fengtao knew that with Lei Cangqiong's appearance, there would be no result today.
He smoothed his clothes with one hand and said to Principal Qian, "Qian Wujin, I'm giving Chairman Lei face today. I'll come back another day to discuss this with you."
Without waiting for a response, he pointed at Lu Shi and said:
"Woman, you hurt me and embarrassed me today. Don't think that just because you're pretty, I'll treat you with kindness. From now on, be more careful when you go out."
His tone was chilling, and an uncontrollable murderous intent emanated from him.
"Likewise." Lu Shi glared back without hesitation. "Bald guy, you need to be even more careful when you go out. Besides, who knows, you might not see the sun rise the next day after you fall asleep at night."
The Jiang family, Jiang Fengtao. Make a note of it; I'll go there tonight.
Lu Shi's provocation made Jiang Fengtao so angry that he laughed instead.
He waved his right hand and shouted:
"We'll see."
After saying that, he turned and walked away, and the group of people who came with him hurriedly followed him away.
Lei Cangqiong watched the Jiang family walk away, sighed, and turned to walk towards Qian Wujin and Feng Tianxiao.
"Two old principals, it is my incompetence that made me realize that the four great magic families have become so arrogant."
"Xiao Lei, you had no choice in the matter!" Feng Tianxiao patted Lei Cangqiong on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
“It’s rare for Xiao Lei to come see us. Come on, let’s go inside and have a few drinks.” Qian Wujin took the two of them by the hand and walked into the school.
"Your school is so run-down. Principal Qian, you really need to work on building up the school's brand." As they walked, Lei Cangqiong stared at the only teaching building, his words filled with regret.
“Little Lei! I want to expand my business too! But the magic institutions these days are really outrageous. I can’t recruit any students!” Qian Wujin shook his head, his expression full of resentment.
“Principals,” Lei Cangqiong suddenly stopped, clenched his fist, and said seriously, “The National Magic High School Competition, the J City qualifiers, are in six months. I plan to broadcast it live throughout J City. I hope that Nirvana High School, which you two principals jointly run, can make a name for itself and defeat all magic institutions. Tell ordinary people that magic institutions are just scamming them out of their money.”
Before the two principals could express their opinions...
Another roaring sound came from outside the school gate.
A line of more than a dozen black Mercedes-Benz cars sped up to the school gate.
A long row of car doors were pushed open almost simultaneously.
One by one, men dressed in black got out of the car and gathered at the school gate.
Looking at the leader, Lu Shi couldn't help but cover her forehead.
The Wang family's butler, Mr. Ou.
He led dozens of shadowy figures who got off the bus and aggressively surrounded the school gate.
Butler Ou pointed at Lu Shi and said sternly, "Lu Shi, our investigation found that you used to live in the resettlement community in N County. Our Wang family's Miss Wang Yunshui disappeared in that area. Yesterday, someone saw you at Nightfall. Then, Nightfall was attacked by mysterious people, and everyone inside died except for Young Master Wang, who also disappeared that night. However, his last order was to find your location."
"Go get treatment if you're sick. Every cat or dog in your Wang family goes missing and you come to me. Besides, you have no evidence whatsoever, yet you come here and ramble on and on. Is that polite?" Lu Shi stretched on the spot, not even wanting to spare a glance for the Wang family.
“We suspect you are involved in the disappearances of Miss Yunshui and the eldest young master. You must come with us to the Wang family immediately for questioning.” Butler Ou took another step closer, and the shadows behind him also stepped forward in unison.
"You're so arrogant! As far as I know, only members of the Inquisition have the authority to investigate magicians. And your Wang family... is not worthy." Lu Shi extended her right index finger and shook it a few times.
Butler Ou's expression changed, and he stopped speaking. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the shadows behind him began to emit multicolored light.
Lu Shi took a deep breath, and purple and red light began to surge, preparing for a big battle.
Qian Wujin and Feng Tianxiao immediately stood in front of Lu Shi, their protective intentions evident.
"Butler Ou, could there be some misunderstanding?" Lei Cangqiong also stepped between the two sides, acting as a peacemaker.
"President Lei, this is a matter between our Wang family and Lu Shi. You'd better step aside. Otherwise, don't blame my Wang family for not giving your Magic Association any face." Butler Ou's attitude was extremely arrogant, with no intention of negotiating at all.
His words clearly angered Lei Cangqiong, who was enveloped in purple light, and his tone became stern.
“Your Wang family has gone too far. I’m going to intervene today.”
"Two heirs of our Wang family have gone missing in succession. Now, anyone who obstructs us is an enemy of the Wang family. The Magic Association, if they obstruct us, are also our enemies." Butler Ou's attitude hardened, and he even took a step forward.
"Then if our military region also tries to stop us."
A figure descended from the sky to the ground, standing tall beside Lei Cangqiong. The wind wings on his back rippled, adding to his mysterious and handsome appearance.
"And who are you?" Butler Ou stared at the newcomer, his tone tinged with apprehension. After all, someone who could wield the Wings of Wind was at least a high-level wind mage.
"Zhang Junshang, Military Intelligence Officer of the Special Military Base of the Central Military Region." His Wind Wings retracted, and Zhang Junshang met Butler Ou's gaze, showing no sign of weakness. "I wonder if my position as Military Intelligence Officer is qualified enough to obstruct your Wang family?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Ou took two steps back, staring at the shining stars on Zhang Junshang's shoulders, his expression uncertain.
Military Intelligence Bureau!
The other person looked to be in his early thirties, yet he was already a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
This is an absolute high-ranking official in the military region!
"Walk."
Butler Ou took a breath and led the way back to the Mercedes. He sighed inwardly, realizing that since the military intelligence agency of the military region was involved, it seemed that only the head of the family had the right to have an equal conversation.
All the shadows followed them back to the car.
The vehicle starts.
The dozen or so Mercedes-Benz cars arrived quickly and left just as quickly.
...
Feng Tianxiao walked over and punched Zhang Junshang in the chest, staring at the stars on his shoulder, and said seriously, "You kid, you've actually been promoted to the Military Intelligence Bureau. But, coming to J City in such a hurry, it seems your motives aren't pure."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Shi again.
A blush crept onto Zhang Junshang's handsome face.
Lu Shi also walked over and said generously:
"Zhang Junshang, congratulations on your promotion. Also, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junshang straightened his posture even more, and his head involuntarily rose.
But what this straight-talking woman said next made him shudder again.
"Alright, you can go back now. I think I can handle the rest myself."
A family of magicians.
Oh……
They are all of the finest soul weight!
