Mayor Lauren hurried over. He was astonished when he witnessed the scene before him!
In his eyes, the students of the national teams were basically going to get themselves killed by going to the boat. The Red Ornants Guild was a bunch of savage and cruel Mages. With the number of Advanced Mages they had, they could easily wipe out the group of students.
However, what he saw was Casso trapped inside a cage of light, covered in wounds and bruises with a defeated look.
The Casso he knew was always holding his head up and conceited. Even the governnt army did not dare to ddle in his business. But now, Casso was a miserable prisoner!
“Mayor Lauren, you have made the stupidest decision in your whole life, listen to this,” Oleena turned on the recording pen.
The recording pen played a conversation between Casso and his subordinate. Casso unashadly admitted that he had no intention of taking care of the sea monsters. He would leave imdiately after stealing all their money!
Mayor Lauren was stunned. The truth was, he did think of it as a possibility, but he had no other way of dealing with the sea monsters when the season arrived!
“Working with them is only going to make things worse. Casualties are going to be inestimable. Mayor Lauren, I hope you will reflect on this. The sea monsters are scary, but I believe if the whole city stands together and put in so effort, it’s still possible to drive the sea monsters away. However, once you cooperated with these bandits, no one in the city will ever trust you again. When these cowardly bandits ran away, the ones that would suffer are still your people!” Oleena told Lauren seriously.
Mayor Lauren let out a long sigh.
As a matter of fact, the situation was not totally bad news to him. Mayor Lauren was not only worried about the sea monsters, he was afraid that the Red Ornants Guild would stir up trouble while the city was under attack by the sea monsters. He did not have enough n to deal with the sea monsters and the Red Ornants Guild simultaneously. Now that the leader of the Red Ornants Guild had been arrested, even though a few mbers of the Red Ornants Guild had escaped, they were most likely lost and leaderless, aning that the city could focus on the sea monsters.
“I know what I should do. I will give the order and take out the remaining mbers of the Red Ornants Guild, to serve the people justice,” said Lauren.
Oleena nodded. She had investigated the matter, and found out that Lauren was indeed forced to compromise due to the circumstances. He was sincerely concerned about the well-being of the city. In such an undeveloped country, they could not just find soone else to replace him as mayor. Lauren would retain his position, as long as he did not end up like the Red Ornants Guild...
“Don’t worry, the Sacred Hall of Liberty will provide assistance; we will send interns here to fend off the sea monsters at tis. Now that the Red Ornants Guild’s president has been arrested, I believe many Hunters are willing to co and hunt down the remaining mbers of the Red Ornants Guild. They will be willing to fight the sea monsters,” Oleena told him.

The news about the leader of the Red Ornants Guild being caught spread fairly quickly. It was absolutely shocking to the other countries in the Caribbean. As soon as their leader was caught, the mbers of the Red Ornants Guild imdiately suffered the consequences. Countless Hunters set out to arrest them in exchange for the bounties on their heads. The operation was scarily efficient. The governnt did not need to do much, they simply sealed off the important escape routes, and the mbers of the Red Ornants Guild had nowhere to run to.

The villagers of Sweetgrass Village returned to their ho. They had also received the shocking news.
The chief and the little girl Jenny burst into tears. The timid villagers who were waiting to be dominated by the bandits were dumbfounded, too. They finally cried out in joy after a long ti.
The young man from the East had really defeated the Red Ornants Guild! He managed to take down the malignant tumor that had been robbing over the Caribbean for so many years. It was unbelievable!
They wanted to express their gratitude to Mo Fan, but unfortunately, Mo Fan was not willing to co back to receive their gratitude. The villagers who once said unpleasant words to Mo Fan felt guilty and ashad.
It was lucky that Jenny went up and asked the young man for help. Otherwise, they would have lost their chance to beco free. Without the Red Ornants Guild around, they could easily manage Sweetgrass Village and earn enough money to hire rcenaries to protect the village. Even without the support from the governnt, they would be able to protect themselves, and even contribute by taking out the sea monsters!
The Red Ornants Guild was a great threat to the whole city. The surrounding towns and villages suffered from extre poverty. It was the main reason why they were helpless against the sea monsters. Once their economy recovered, they would no longer be afraid of the sea monsters. Everyone could contribute to hiring more Mages...
Mayor Lauren had not predicted this outco. Ever since he was put in charge of the city, he had lived in fear of the Red Ornants Guild. The governnt was more like a puppet that was forced to act according to the Red Ornants Guild’s mood!
It was just as Oleena had said; the sea monsters were not as scary as they had imagined. With everyone working together, they would surely overco the difficulty!
——
anwhile, Mo Fan was extrely unhappy about one thing; he was unable to share the bounty since it was the Sacred Hall Mages that had arrested Casso.
As for his reward, Oleena personally wrote a letter to the International Magic Association and explained the situation in detail.
After the report, the Chinese team stood out among the three national teams. The Dark Noble Mantle was allocated to Mo Fan, while the others were given so other rewards.
The Japanese team was frustrated. They initially had the greatest chance of winning by having the intel, but they did not expect it to end up like this. They were obviously not convinced of the result.
However, it did not matter what they felt. The initial plan only asked the three national teams to weaken the Red Ornants Guild by taking out so of their mbers. They never thought the students would be able to uproot the entire organization, since that involved taking down their leader, Casso! The Magic Associations were well aware of how tough the guy was.
To their surprise, they ended up arresting Casso and helping the Sacred Hall Mages to accomplish their mission, returning peace to the Caribbean Sea. It was obviously a lot better than what they had hoped for. How could the Chinese team not grab the lilight among the national teams?
The Dark Noble Mantle arrived when the team reached xico. Mo Fan was fairly excited about it.
It was said that a Forbidden Mage used the piece of magic equipnt when he was younger. It must be sothing precious...

After crossing the Caribbean Sea, the vast land of North Arica opened up to the team. Their view extended to a gradually sinking arc to the horizon, like they were looking at completely flat waters. The only difference was, the majority of the land in South Arica was dark brown.
“Mo Fan, why were you interested in Sweetgrass Village back then? Did you realize sothing was strange about Oni?” Jiang Shaoxu asked when the thought suddenly crossed her mind.
“I initially thought I could find sothing I’m looking for there, but I realized that it wasn’t,” answered Mo Fan.
Mo Fan only went to the village because the Essence Orb was glowing. In the end, the Essence Orb was reacting because of an old tree in the village, but it did not contain any absorbable energy. Mo Fan got all excited for nothing.
“How mysterious! Speaking of which, now that we’ve completed the mission, it ans that soone in the team will be disqualified. Zhao Manyan, are you the one?” Jiang Shaoxu looked at Zhao Manyan curiously.
“Are you kidding ? I’m definitely not the weakest on the team!” Zhao Manyan straightened his chest and said.
“Mmm, that wooden clapper did make you a lot stronger. I barely survived thanks to it,” Mo Fan agreed.
The wooden clapper was extrely powerful. Its most intuitive use as the yellow runes that were able to double the strength of Zhao Manyan’s defensive spells. Not many Advanced Spells were able to penetrate Zhao Manyan’s defense without outstanding damage.
“If you aren’t the one being disqualified, who’s it going to be then?” Jiang Shaoxu pondered.
“See, soone is panicking more than ,” Zhao Manyan said, smiling and looking at Li Kaifeng not far ahead of them.
“Him? But I thought he’s fine still?”
“He’s in a similar spot to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu has an outstanding weapon. Li Kaifeng doesn’t have that advantage, so I think he’s most likely the one that will be disqualified. I heard Li Kaifeng has a powerful background, but his own strength is important, too,” Zhao Manyan judged.

After arriving in xico, the team rested at Bangersha City. As they made their way to xico’s Training Hall, the advisors would et with the team with a new mber, and they would disqualify a mber on the current team.
No one knew who the person would be.
Mo Fan was not worried at all. He had the least chance of being disqualified from the team. He was the greatest contributor in the competition between the three national teams, and he was a lot stronger than the average mbers on the team.
He was fairly excited, mainly because he would be seeing Mu Ningxue soon.
After arriving in Bangersha City, Mu Ningxue sent him a text telling him that she was on the plane flying to North Arica with the advisors. When Mo Fan rembered Mu Ningxue’s cold, unapproachable face, elegant as a painting; her outstanding bust, her alluring legs under sexy stockings, he imdiately ‘stiffened’.
His days without his first wife had been rather lonely!

“Duels?”
“The advisors want us to fight one another?”
The mbers of the national team received the news when they were resting at the inn.
Since the mbers were equivalently strong this ti, it was quite difficult to make the decision, so the advisors simply ca up with the easiest way possible, by letting the mbers duel one another.
However, only six mbers needed to take part in the duels. Mo Fan was not on the list, so it was none of his business.
Besides, even if he was on the list, anyone that drew Mo Fan as their opponent would imdiately forfeit the duel. There were two people that the mbers of the team were unwilling to stumble into as their opponent: the first one was Ai Jiangtu, and the other one was Mo Fan. There was no way they could beat them, especially after how Mo Fan had fought against Casso. The only comnt everyone had for him was that he was more monstrous than a monster!.
