1248 The Hindrance from the Local Tyran (2/2)

The man was leaning back on his chair with a cigarette between his fingers.

A pretty woman with long curly hairwas there, sitting opposite of Senior Evaluator Pan. She said with a smile, ”It's just a favor that Sister Zhou Yilin asked for. She used to be a good girl, but she became ungrateful after she grew stronger and became a star in the World College Tournament. Our Mu Clan has spent so many resources on her, yet not only didn't she pay our kindness back, she even wanted to take us on. If not, why would we bother doing this to her?”

”Humph, I despise people like her the most. Don't you worry, if she wants to challenge the Mu Clan, I'll make sure that she can't even set up a clan,” Senior Evaluator Pan replied. He squinted and looked at the edge of the short skirt that the woman was wearing.

”You have our thanks, Mr. Pan. Please do visit our Li Family when you have the chance. You will know how hospitable we are!” the woman smiled.

”Yeah, sure thing, I still remember going to the villa of your clan. It's a nice place,” Senior Evaluator Pan said.

”Right, I almost forgot. I'm afraid you won't be able to visit the villa for some time. Some Hunters found traces of a Ghastly Mountain Beast in the area. Our clan has been constantly patrolling the area to ensure the safety of the people. However, the Hunters still passed on their groundless accusations to the local Magic Association. We have no choice but to close it down to clear the demon creatures in the area. Unfortunately, the Mages of our clan has been busy preparing for the Renowned Families Tournament. It's difficult to investigate the whole mountain. You know how many people and time we'll need for that...” the woman grumbled.

”If the Hunters did find the traces of demon creatures and provide solid evidence, it's reasonable that the local Magic Association is treating it with extra caution,” Senior Evaluator Pan said.

”I already went to investigate it. It isn't traces of the Ghastly Mountain Beast. It's just a wild beast that's slightly bigger. It's very common to find wild beasts in the mountains. Besides, many people that went to the villa on a vacation enjoy hunting and eating those beasts, too. Senior Evaluator Pan, you are well aware of the money and people needed to clear the mountain; can't you just settle it with a few words?” the woman said while blinking her eyes.

”Well...” Senior Evaluator Pan seemed troubled.

”The next time you go to the villa, I'll drop by and drink some tea too. The night breeze is very soothing there.” The woman's voice sounded a lot softer. It was obvious that she was giving hints.

Senior Evaluator Pan immediately knew what she was hinting. However, his expression remained the same as he said, ”It's nothing, I'll let the local Magic Association know right away. Besides, I'm particularly fond of the villa myself too. I'll be damned if it's closed.”

”Mm, mm, thank you, Mr. Pan. I'll personally brew you a nice cup of tea when the time comes.”

”Sure!” Senior Evaluator Pan smiled and squinted as he thought about the luxurious villa, the pitch-black night with some nice tea and a deserted bamboo grove, where he would find a gorgeous woman that he could freely do anything to. Senior Evaluator Pan could already feel his pants tightening.

Mo Fan shook his head after he left the man's office.

It seemed like society still was full of unspoken rules. He could not help but wonder how many shameless deeds this fatty had done by abusing his power.

Mo Fan went back to Mu Ningxue and told her what he learned.

Mu Ningxue frowned immediately, very displeased.

The truth was, the man had invited her to discuss the matter with him alone. The place was a remote tea house, too. It seemed like the guy was actually trying to give her hints. If she did not satisfy him, he would not give her permission to use the land!

Why would such a shameless man be given such an important role in the Magic Association!?

”The man's cultivation is pretty strong. He almost noticed me, even though I was using the Dark Noble Mantle. It's unlikely I'll be able to find a chance to teach him a lesson,” Mo Fan said.

”Don't touch him; he still has quite a reputation in the Magic Association. It will only cause us more trouble. As for the Li Family you mentioned… they are indeed a renowned family who have attached themselves to the Mu Clan. They are mainly in charge of luxurious villas, but they are mostly used for bribing and coaxing the authorities of the Magic Association. They are in charge of the Mu Clan's public relations,” Mu Ningxue said.

A renowned clan would have a number of renowned families attached to them. The Mu Clan was one of the biggest renowned clans in the country. Almost every city felt its influence.

The Li Family was a renowned family situated in Feiniao City and Tongshan City. Mu Ningxue was obviously going to stumble into the Li Family since she was planning to set up her clan in Feiniao City, but she did not think the local tyrant would set their eyes on her so soon!

”By the way, what does clearing up a mountain mean?” Mo Fan asked Mu Ningxue.
