"Let's have something to eat." Mu Ningxue thoughtfully left some delicious food for Mofan. She even asked the waiter to reheat the food.
Mofan did not eat much. He sat down and enjoyed the food as the others toasted him.
He could not let the food down!
He didn't know why, but after a trip to the Dark Plane, even though the entire world had changed greatly and became much worse, he still felt a sense of beauty. Perhaps only after seeing the true face of hell would one be able to appreciate every flower, grass, wine, and delicacies.
"Oh, so many people here. You're all from the Magic City!" a loud voice suddenly interrupted the group.
When this person spoke, he had an eye-catching effect. His emphasis and the volume of his voice were both very special.
"Councilman Zhuang, I didn't expect to see you here. It's our great honor!" Mui Shan rose to his feet and greeted the man with a smile.
Councilman Zhuang did not even look at Mui Shan. He went straight up to Bai Hongfei and Mui Nuxin.
"I was just passing by and saw all the decorations here, so I decided to come uninvited. I hope you don't mind," Councilman Zhuang said to Mui Nuxin.
"Not at all, I'm afraid we can't invite someone as important as you," Mui Nuxin replied courteously.
"Please have a seat," Bai Hongfei said.
"It's fine, I'll be leaving soon. I'm just here to say a few words. I don't want to disturb you. By the way, there's still a gap of seventy kilometers to the south of the seawall … oh, Mu Ningxue, City Lord Mu is here too. That saves me a lot of trouble, "Councilman Zhuang said with a strange look when he saw Mu Ningxue.
Mo Fan glanced at the man with a bureaucratic aura before glancing at Mui Shan, who was feeling extremely awkward.
"He's a Councilman of the Magic City, and the current Minister of Coastal Defense …" Mui Shan purposely moved closer to Mo Fan and whispered into his ear, "After Chairman Shao Zheng was impeached, many people in power in the Magic City were replaced. This Zhuang Yue's influence is on par with the mayor of the Magic City Headquarters. Most importantly, he's very strong, at least a Councilman."
It turned out that he was a Tier 1 Magician. No wonder he walked with such a strong aura, and spoke with such a high voice!
"You aristocratic families can't always think about maintaining your own people. You should also think more about the country and the city. Otherwise, occupying so much resources and land without benefiting the people is equivalent to murdering people for money. If he had the ability, he had to put in more effort. The Mu Family and the Bai Family were well-known families in Shanghai. They had to set an example. Fanxue Mountain and Feiniao Headquarters City might not be under my jurisdiction, but we should all work together now that the country is in trouble, "Zhuang Yue said.
"Councilman Zhuang, a month ago, your coastal defense personnel transferred many of our family's elites away. How can you say that we didn't put in more effort after the battle? As for the gap of seventy kilometers, we really can't do anything about it, "Mui Ye said.
"What do you mean? Do you think the military and the government have sacrificed less than you? Without the military and the government, how would you be able to have such a beautiful wedding?" Councilman Zhuang Yue furrowed his brows, and his tone immediately became heavier.
Mui Ye immediately fell silent.
Mui Nuxin and Bai Hongfei might seem calm on the surface, but it was obvious that they were not feeling too good about it.
Some people were indeed working for the country and sparing no effort to contribute, such as Chairman Shao Zheng.
On the other hand, some people would do everything they could to exploit the country after they gained power.
They were exploiting the people, the clans, and the factions. Most hilarious of all, the formidable factions like the Mu Clan, the Zhao Clan, the Hunter Union, the Magic Association, and the Shoreline Alliance were nowhere near as righteous as Zhuang Yue.
He only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Mui Nuxin had long hated the Councilman. It was not the first time he had tried to take advantage of her. She was even more infuriated when she learned that tonight was her wedding, the most important day for a woman, yet Zhuang Yue dared to take advantage of her!
The people of the Bai Family and the Mui Family had been sent to the frontline in the battle a month ago. They were basically used as meat shields. Not many of them had returned alive. In contrast, Zhuang Yue's men and confidants did not suffer any casualties.
Councilman Zhuang still claimed all the credit!
It was supposed to be a joyous wedding, yet the shameless Councilman had come to ruin it!
Mui Shan whispered into Mofan's ear. He briefly explained Zhuang Yue's character to Mofan.
As a matter of fact, after Mui Shan told Mofan that Zhuang Yue had contributed greatly to Chairman Shao Zheng's resignation, he did not like Zhuang Yue at all.
Currently, Mo Fan did not like to be strolled around by bugs, regardless of how strong they were.
Mofan rose to his feet.
He was about to teach the idiot a lesson when the female knight, Hua Lisi, came over with Xinxia in her wheelchair.
Xinxia glanced at Mofan.
Her gentle voice echoed in his mind.
Mofan thought for a moment and decided not to pick on the Councilman.
"Councilman Zhuang." Xinxia's voice was gentle, yet Qin Nan could not tell what she was thinking. It seemed like she had learned how to conceal her thoughts after spending so many years in Parthenon.
Zhuang Yue turned around. He was impatient at first, but when he saw that it was Xinxia, a smile appeared on his cold face.
"So it's the future Goddess, I didn't expect to see you here," Zhuang Yue said.
"I was just about to bless the newlyweds, but Councilman Zhuang happened to be here in a hurry, as if he had a better gift than this. I'm willing to wait a little longer," Xinxia said to Councilman Zhuang.
Zhuang Yue was stunned.
What gift?
He was here to ask for money. Why would he bring a gift?
"No, no, I just didn't expect you to be here. It turns out I am the one who interrupted your blessing. I am truly sorry. Actually, I am only here to freeload some good wine. Future Goddess, please continue. There is no need to mind me." Zhuang Yue immediately burst into laughter. It was as though his previous words were nothing more than a joke.
"Please excuse me," Xinxia said.
Zhuang Yue was left speechless. He did not dare to show any disrespect to Xinxia. He glanced at Mui Nuxin and Bai Hongfei with a hint of resentment.
In the end, Councilman Zhuang gestured for Xinxia to come forward respectfully. He then awkwardly moved to a nearby table and sat down.
"Can't you see there's someone here? Go away," Mofan snapped, glaring at Councilman Zhuang.
Zhuang Yue pulled a long face. He stared at Mofan, as if he was trying to remember Mofan's face.
Who was this little guy? He did not dare to lose his temper when the Saintess of Parthenon was asking him to leave, but who the hell was this young man?
He was not even worthy to be a stepping stone for a Councilman like him, yet he dared to scold him!
