359 The Enforcement Union (1/2)
”We've found casualties from the incident with the giant snake. The two Hunters were thoroughly corroded by some poison, destroying their appearance beyond recognition. No one was able to tell they were human corpses, but their identities have just been verified. It was confirmed that they had died to the snake's poison after it appeared,” Mo Fan read the news out loud.
Mo Fan was confused, looking at the news. Didn't they already release an official statement saying that no one had died in the incident? Why would they suddenly find two casualties, after such a long time?
”It's a frame-up, someone is trying to make false charges against the Skyscraping Snake!” Tangyue's face turned furiously red.
”Why would you assume that it's a setup… Miss Tangyue, your phone is ringing,” said Mo Fan.
Tangyue received the call with a frown. From her stern expression, the call was probably from her superior.
”Come with me.” Tangyue hung up the phone and dragged Mo Fan to the boat.
”Where are we going?”
”The Enforcement Union's meeting room.”
------
Following Tangyue, Mo Fan arrived with her at Hangzhou's Magic Association Building.
They took the elevator straight up to the highest floor. It was a meeting room with a clear, spectacular view over the entire city.
The entrance of the room was guarded by a group of men in uniforms. Each of them possessed rather outstanding cultivation. Mo Fan could not help but exclaim in his heart, as the guards defending the entrance were all Advanced Magicians!
They waited for a short time outside of the room before a man with black long hair came out. His eagle-like eyes glanced at Tangyue, then at Mo Fan.
”My student, Mo Fan,” introduced Tangyue.
The man nodded slightly before inviting the two into the room with a gesture.
The room consisted of a standard, huge round table. Several appropriately-dressed men and women were seated across the table. There were seven or eight of them.
The remaining twenty-some people stood at the side. They were all from the Magic Court, judging from their outfits.
Those outside of the room were already Advanced Magicians, but the ones in the room were even more shocking. Was there anyone on the same level as him?
These people were the authoritative figures among Magicians!
Mo Fan could recall the man with the long black hair. He was the one standing on the silver skyscraper while staring the Skyscraping Snake in the eyes. His strength significantly outmatched Zhan Kong's, but even he was standing on the side instead of sitting down.
”He's my eldest Senior Brother, Heiyu. He's also the Vice Head of the Magic Court, ” said Tangyue in a soft tone to Mo Fan, who was standing beside her.
Mo Fan nodded. He was just trying to figure out what level the man's cultivation was, when a middle-aged man with a thick beard slammed his hand hard on the table and snapped, ”There are people dying, and yet you're still protecting that poisonous snake! The Magic Palace didn't send me here to negotiate. I'm here to eliminate the threat in the West Lake, returning peace to Hangzhou. You better hand over the Skyscraping Snake to us!”
Tangyue glared at the man while cursing under her breath.
