”HAHA! Whatever you say! If he really can help with the Totem Beasts, I will be very impressed and pleased!” the military chief laughed.

The Pearl Institute…
Mo Fan set up an appointment with Professor Shi to learn more about the Moon Moth Phoenix.
He decided to meet the man at a cafe, but he was surprised to see another man as he walked in. He knew who the man was, as it was someone that he greatly respected!
”Chairman, why are you here?” Mo Fan was a little surprised.
For some reason, Mo Fan could sense that Chairman Shao Zheng was looking at him in a weird way. He felt like he was in some kind of trouble.
”I heard you're trying to learn about a Totem Beast?” Chairman Shao Zheng asked with a smile.
”Ugh… I'm just trying to learn more about the Black Totem Snake. I happened to stumble into another Totem Beast too, and it's pretty urgent. Chairman, since you're here, I can just make it clear. Can you ask the people of the Donghai Magic Association to leave? If they keep coming to trouble me, I'm afraid I might overstep some boundaries,” Mo Fan replied quickly.
”The Donghai Magic Association isn't under my jurisdiction. It's actually under one of my sworn enemies, and I believe you already know who he is?” Shao Zheng said.
”Continent Councilman Su Lu?” Mo Fan guessed.
Shao Zheng nodded slightly.
”Well, Mr. Chairman, I don't know if I'm imagining it, but why do I keep feeling you have something to say to me, something that is strenuous and unrewarding,” Mo Fan ventured.
Professor Shi stared at Mo Fan and snapped, ”Is that how you are supposed to talk to the Chairman!?”
”The kid is right,” Shao Zheng smiled and continued, ”I've come to discuss something very important with you.”
”Chairman, I'm just an Advanced Mage. Doesn't it feel weird that someone who's so close to being a Forbidden Mage like you is asking me for a favor?” Mo Fan had to ask.
”Someone recommended you to me, and I also believe there's no one more suitable than you to take the job,” Shao Zheng said.
”Which assh*** recommended me?” Mo Fan said.
Shao Zheng burst out laughing and said, ”I bet you're the only one that dares call him an assh***! Have you forgotten who put you on the national team?”
”Oh, it's him. Who exactly is he? Why hasn't he met me yet?” Mo Fan said.
”Maybe he thinks it isn't the right time yet. Besides, you've been cultivating and growing on your own all this time. He doesn't want to intervene too much. This way, you're able to surprise us all the time,” Shao Zheng said.
”That man really likes to put up a mannered act. By the way, Chairman, did you really come here despite your busy schedule to ask me a favor?” Mo Fan said.
”Yes, and it's very important. It might concern the safety of our country for a long time,” Shao Zheng confirmed.
