1323 Extortion! (2/2)
Elder Kang was startled, and groaned inwardly. -How cunning, he managed to see through my trick...-
He had punished the Dali Clan and forced the Nanrong Clan to compromise and compensate them for the loss. It seemed like the Donghai Magic Association had been making amends on the surface, yet they had not really given up anything. Chasing the Dali Clan away was not necessarily a loss for them!
He had executed it perfectly, yet Mo Fan had to ruin all of it when he was about to dismiss the crowd!
”Shouldn't you be compensating us for our loss too? As the reputable Donghai Magic Association in charge of the cities along the coastline, as an international organization, I believe you will be giving us more than the Nanrong Clan has given us, right?”
”Well...” Elder Kang found himself in an awkward position. His trick had worked every time before. He had managed to improve their reputation, rectify the name of the Donghai Magic Association, warn the renowned clans, and get rid of a foolish partner; how did his plan fail miserably all of a sudden!?
Mu Ningxue pinched Mo Fan's waist, as he was trying to demand more benefits through extortion. She suddenly felt like it was such a waste for him to be a Mage. He should have become an unscrupulous merchant instead!
”I'm just trying to earn more money to buy you some facial masks, look at your injuries...” Mo Fan said softly.
”Initially, you wouldn't be able to get a greater share of the Fragmented Crystal Vein, since you already own a portion of it, but we'll be giving you the share that was previously allocated to the Dali Clan instead. If you are able to manage it wisely, I believe we will have more opportunities to work together in the future. What do you think?” Elder Kang said.
”But that's from the Dali Clan, not the Donghai Magic Association...” Mo Fan continued relentlessly.
Elder Kang's expression darkened. He had never seen such a shameless young man before!
”That will do, we'll take care of the Dali Clan's share. Leave it to us,” Mu Ningxue quickly intervened between the two. She did feel like Mo Fan was pushing the limit...
”Mm, very well then,” Elder Kang nodded. He was afraid that Mo Fan would bite at him again!
Mo Fan also knew how difficult it was for the Donghai Magic Association to give something up. However, he was more than willing to take the Dali Clan's share of the Fragmented Crystal Vein, even though he had no clue what it actually was...
------
The rest of the procedures were straightforward. The Nanrong Clan soon transferred ownership of the Cliff of Ages to Fanxue Mountain. Meanwhile, Fanxue Mountain was also part of the group managing the extraction of the Fragmented Crystal Vein. On top of that, the share that the Dali Clan initially held was quite a big portion, since both the territories of the Dongfang Clan and the Bai Clan were further away from the Fragmented Crystal Vein than the Dali Clan. After all, the main headquarters of the Dali Clan was around Feiniao City too! That being said, Fanxue Mountain was still the closest. It was right beside Fanxue Mountain's territory, but Mu Ningxue's clan would have difficulty eating the entire cake...

”Did Little Flame Belle evolve?”
”Yeah, she's in the Adolescent Phase now. Her strength is equivalent to a Commander-level creature in the Advancing Period, but there's a huge problem now,” Mo Fan told her, placing his hands behind his head.
He enjoyed going for a walk with Mu Ningxue. Even though the woman was within an arm's reach, they were still not as intimate as a pair of lovers… but the ambiguous feeling was special and comfortable. It was just like how they were when they were still kids. He was hoping to take the next step, yet he did not want to rush it and ruin the atmosphere between them. It was so pure that Mo Fan was struggling to believe it was something that he had wanted for so long!
”What is it?” Mu Ningxue asked immediately.
A Commander-level in the Advancing Period was remarkably strong. Only a Super Mage could take on a creature like that!
If Little Flame Belle had become so strong, Mo Fan was basically unbeatable against Mages below the Super Level!
”My cultivation is too weak. There's a chance I will explode if Little Flame Belle Possesses me,” Mo Fan smiled wryly.
”Which means you won't be able to use it as often?”
”Mm, it will become stabler once my cultivation improves,” Mo Fan confirmed.
”Sounds good; it means you'll be training even harder!”
”Why don't we find a secret room and cultivate in seclusion together? Like Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo...” Mo Fan suggested.
”Your fire is going to affect my ice,” Mu Ningxue rejected him promptly.
How could she not know what Mo Fan was thinking? The man with his vile thoughts!
