They arrived at the Oriental Pearl Tower and went all the way up to the sphere. Mofan was wondering when he could come up here to observe the place, but he ended up here because he had bought a piece of land.
Mofan noticed that there were not many visitors when they arrived at the meeting. There were more staff members than there were people.
Interestingly, even though there were not many people around, no one came to greet them. Mofan looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "It seems like the people here are quite prejudiced against us Magic Clans."
After some time, a plump middle-aged man finally came up to them with a smile. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm stuck in a meeting. Here's the thing, I've checked the land. It's indeed not suitable for living, especially when you've applied for a population of three hundred people. Three hundred people is equivalent to a village. To make the land safe for a village, you don't just have to stay in the safe zone. You have to make sure that the demon creatures within a hundred kilometers of the safe zone are distributed too. "
"There's something I don't understand, Councilman Pan. I've already asked someone to check the assessment of the land. Your people told my friend that there's nothing wrong with the land. Why did you tell me otherwise when I was planning to build a villa there?" Mu Ningxue asked sternly.
"Well, the assessment is subject to change. After all, the habitat of the demon creatures is constantly changing. According to the information I received from the Hunter Union, there's a huge pack of demon creatures thirty kilometers away from where you are, and another pack of demon creatures forty kilometers to the north. If you have a barrier protecting you, I won't stop you. If you have enough Magicians patrolling the area, we won't have any problem with it, either. However, if you don't have enough Magicians patrolling the area, how can I approve it? I'm responsible for the safety of the residents. If anything happens, you can just compensate the families of the victims with your wealth, but wouldn't our Magic Association be suspected by the public?" Councilman Pan said sternly.
"Why does it sound like we don't care about the life and death of our own people?" Mo Fan asked in return.
"I'm just stating the facts. Excuse me for a moment. I hope you two can think about it carefully. We don't intend to allow anyone to live on this land," Senior Member Pan said with a serious look on his face.
Fatty turned around and walked towards his office with an arrogant look on his face.
After Senior Member Pan left, Mofan glanced at Mu Ningxue. Mu Ningxue was also looking at him.
"Do you know this fatty?" Mofan asked.
Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, "He has quite a lot of power. Once he evaluates a piece of land as being at risk, it will basically become a wasteland. You also know that in the coastal areas, within the safe zone, every inch of land is like gold. Even if the government hasn't developed it yet, it's still very difficult for private individuals to buy it."
"I bet the renowned clans and renowned clans have already claimed all the good places," Mofan said.
"Mm, by the way, the land I bought is pretty close to Feiniao City," Mu Ningxue took out a piece of paper and showed it to Mofan.
Mofan took a closer look and realized that the land was indeed very close to Feiniao City.
Feiniao City had been developing rapidly in recent years after the sea monsters were eliminated. It was not a bad choice for Mu Ningxue to set up her clan's territory there. Besides, it was not too far away from the Magic City.
"I've asked the Magic Association of Feiniao City to evaluate the land for me. They said that there isn't much of a problem with the land. The risk is only between acceptable and unacceptable. The Magic Association of Feiniao City has submitted an application to the headquarters of the Magic Association to allow the land to live on, but for some reason, Senior Member Pan is blocking the application," Mu Ningxue said.
"I'll sneak in and take a look," Mofan went into the office.
There was a gap between the door of the office. Mofan easily went inside with the Fleeing Shadow. Mu Ningxue tried to stop Mofan, but Mofan had already disappeared.
Mo Fan was bold enough to pull off such a stunt in the headquarters of the Magic Association. The Dark Noble Mantle allowed him to easily fool the eyes of the public officials who were also quite strong.
Mofan soon heard a woman's voice when he arrived at Senior Member Pan's office.
"Don't worry, as long as the land she bought has passed through my hands, there's no way the Magic Association will allow it to live on the land. I've been working here for many years, and no one has ever dared to question my judgment," Senior Member Pan said.
At this moment, this guy was sitting on his couch with a cigarette in his hand.
Beside him was a woman with long, wavy hair. She was quite pretty. She sat opposite Senior Member Pan and said with a smile, "Sister Zhou Yilin asked me to do something for her. That girl used to be a nice person, but she immediately became ungrateful after her cultivation improved and she became the star of the World College Tournament. Our Mu Clan has spent a lot of resources on her, but not only did she not pay us back, she even tried to go against us. If she wasn't like that, we wouldn't have to deal with her like this. "
"Humph, I despise people like her the most. Don't you worry, if she dares to go against your Mu Clan, I'll make sure she can't even establish a clan, "Senior Member Pan said. He squinted and stared at the edge of the woman's short skirt while she was immersed in her thoughts.
"Thank you, Senior Member Pan. Come visit our Dali Clan if you have the chance. We'll treat you well," the woman said with a smile.
"We will, I still remember your resort. It's a great place," Senior Member Pan said with a smile.
"Ah, I almost forgot about it. I'm afraid you won't be able to go there this time. A few Hunters have discovered the tracks of the Mountain Beasts in the area. The people of the Dali Clan have been patrolling the area for a long time, so the safety of the place is guaranteed. However, the Hunters somehow told the local Magic Association about the groundless rumors. As a result, we have to close our business until we can clean up the place. Unfortunately, our Mages have been busy preparing for the battle between the renowned clans. It's difficult for them to inspect the mountain range one by one. You know how much manpower and time it takes to clean up the place, "the woman complained to Senior Member Pan.
"If the Hunters found the tracks with sufficient evidence, it's reasonable for the local Magic Association to treat it seriously," Senior Member Pan said.
"I've taken a look at it. It's not the tracks of a Fearsome Mountain Beast, but a huge beast. It's common to see wild beasts in the mountains. Many people even enjoy the delicacies of wild beasts when they're on vacation. Senior Member Pan, you know how much money and manpower it takes to clean up the place, but isn't it just a matter of a few words from you? "the woman said, blinking her eyes.
"Well …" Committee Member Pan seemed to be in a difficult position.
"If you're going on vacation next time, I'll drop by and have some tea with you. The night breeze is very comfortable," the woman said softly. She was obviously hinting at something.
Senior Member Pan immediately understood the woman's intention. He said calmly, "It's nothing, I'll let the local Magic Association know. Either way, I do like the resort a lot. It'll be a loss if it's closed down."
"Mm, mm, thanks, Senior Member Pan. I'll make you some good tea when the time comes."
"Sure, sure!" Senior Member Pan smiled with squinted eyes. At the thought of the cool and comfortable villa in the dark night with a pot of good tea, an uninhabited bamboo forest, and a beauty that he could do whatever he wanted, Senior Member Pan felt that his pants were getting tighter.
Mofan shook his head as he left Senior Member Pan's office.
Sure enough, this society was full of unspoken rules. Who knew how many unsightly things Fatty Pan, who held power in his hands, had done by using such disgusting means.
Mofan returned to Mu Ningxue and told her what he had heard.
Mu Ningxue frowned right away. She was slightly displeased.
As a matter of fact, Senior Member Pan had asked her to meet him alone not long ago. It seemed to be a tea house in a remote area. Now that she thought about it, it was most likely a hint from the man. If she did not satisfy his demands, she would not be allowed to use the land.
Such a shameless man. How did someone like him end up as a member of the Magic Association's Board of Advisors?
"That fatty's cultivation is pretty impressive. He almost noticed me even when I was wearing the Dark Noble Mantle. It looks like I won't be able to find a chance to teach him a lesson," Mofan said.
"Don't do anything to him. Either way, he's still a middle-level member of the Magic Association. It's only going to cause us more trouble if we mess with him. As for the Dali Clan you mentioned, they are indeed one of the Mu Clan's vassal clans. They mainly operate expensive resorts, but they are mostly used to bribe the government and the people of the Magic Association. They are the public relations clans of the Mu Clan," Mu Ningxue said.
A clan was bound to have a lot of renowned clans attached to it. The Mu Clan was one of the biggest clans in the country. Almost every city had a branch of their clan.
The Dali Clan was one of the renowned clans in Feiniao City and Tongshan City. Mu Ningxue had established her clan in Feiniao City, so it went without saying that she would have to deal with the Dali Clan. However, Mu Ningxue did not expect to stumble into a local tyrant so soon.
