Chapter 290: Chapter 11: Building Montum
“It seems your guess wasn’t quite accurate,” Richard remarked with a cold smile as he returned the crystal ball to Bob.
Bob’s face was full of bitter smiles,
“Brother, I swear by the Sea of Souls, everything I told you is the absolute truth.
I hadn’t even t the old chairman before. Who could have expected the old chairman to choose as his successor?”
Richard didn’t continue to press the matter, as brooding over these things was pointless now. These heirs had already started to resort to fighting over the position of chairman.
Although according to the laws issued by the Truth Council, wizard battles outside of academy wars were forbidden.
But this law was hardly enforceable and did not hold much weight.
The Wizard World was vast, and the World Guardians of the Wizard World not only had to hunt down those insane wizards, prevent them from massacring the mortals, but also needed to find ti for research to enhance their own combat capability.
Such small-scale wizard battles, as long as they didn’t occur right before their eyes, were as if nothing happened.
With so many wizards in the Wizard World, the death of so non-combatant wizards was even considered beneficial for Wizard Civilization.
“Bob,” Richard’s voice was as cold as the December wind, “I think we can collaborate more deeply.
I’ve recently stockpiled a batch of alchemy ink, and I hear Nine Star Chamber of Comrce has many sales channels.”
Seeing Richard say this, a smile instantly lit up Bob’s face.
“Don’t worry, once this is successful, the sales channels of the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce will be completely open to Richard Jolod’s Comrce, and your chamber’s products will be sold in all stores of the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce without any channel fees.”
Richard nodded, then gestured to bring a few wizards over to his side.
“Brother, have your people take care of these wizards.”
As he spoke, Richard gestured towards several star airships that were rapidly approaching.
The airships arrived beside the duo, and several black-robed wizards stepped out. One of them, a fat, bristly-haired Three Rings Wizard, gave Richard and Bob a glance and arrogantly said:
“Vice Chairman Bob, what is the aning of this?”
“What does it look like?” Bob sneered, “Can’t you see? I’ve been attacked at our headquarters!
Ain, you’re doing a really good job as the head of security, aren’t you?”
After hearing this, Ain feigned a sudden realization and loudly reprimanded the Black Wizards beside him:
“What are you all doing, allowing the vice-chairman to be attacked on our territory! You’ve wasted your Magic Essence!”
The Black Wizards bowed their heads in silence, but it was clear to anyone that Ain was just putting on an act.
This attack was not necessarily orchestrated by Ain, but it definitely had his tacit approval or participation.
Otherwise, given the security level of the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce, higher-ups would likely have been assassinated long before.
Bob was probably the last to know he had been designated as the successor of the Chamber of Comrce.
At present, it seems internal interest groups within the comrce had reached a temporary cooperation—to eliminate Bob first.
Bob’s face turned ashen as he watched the scene unfold, realizing that Ain didn’t even plan to impose a proper penalty, evidently certain of his death.
Richard looked at Ain and sent a Spiritual ssage to Ulysses:
“How long would it take to take down this fool?”
Ulysses glanced at Ain and confidently replied:
“Caw, ten seconds, no more than thirty seconds at most.”
Upon hearing this, a slight smile curled the corners of Richard’s mouth. Ain, standing opposite him, suddenly felt a chill down his spine as if a terrifying creature had set its sights on him.
“Then take him down.”
Ulysses chirped sowhat gleefully:
“Caw, that’s fierce, not like your usual temperant.”
Richard narrowed his eyes: “If I don’t show so strength, things like this will keep happening.”
“Caw, got it.”
Ain, looking at the sowhat unfamiliar face of the wizard opposite him, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, involuntarily stepping back two steps.
And as he took the first step back, a pitch-black crow claw suddenly appeared at the position of his heart.
“How dare you!” Ain was horrified, not expecting anyone to dare to make a move against him in front of so many people.
He was, after all, a Three Rings Wizard, and for soone to attack him at the headquarters of the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce, wasn’t that seeking death?
But before he could finish his threat, Ulysses’s figure had already appeared before him.
“Caw, too much talk.”
Saying this, a crow claw tore through the hastily erected Magic Barrier by Ain and struck at his heart again.
Ain’s body, seeing this, surged with magic power, a massive amount of magic entering his limbs and all his extremities, causing his already corpulent body to suddenly expand like a small mountain.
The crow claw effortlessly pierced into his body, but due to the sudden expansion, it grabbed only a handful of fat.
“Caw, too greasy, you fat pig,” Ulysses shouted as he withdrew his crow claw, loudly mocking.
“Bastard!”
Ain’s skin turned blood-red, his whole person like a piece of blood jade. He swung a punch at Ulysses with terrible force, even creating a vacuum strip in the air, causing the air to ripple like water waves.
Bang!
A loud bang echoed in the air.
Ain couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
His punch, so heavy and powerful, was calmly caught by Ulysses with one claw. The pitch-black crow claw, like a pair of iron tongs, firmly grasped his fist, unmovable no matter how hard he tried.
“Caw, insect, got you.”
Ulysses cackled as he reached out with his crow claw again.
Facing this seemingly ordinary strike, Ain used all the tricks he knew, a spell not less than three thousand energy levels bursting in the air like fireworks, and he tore another Space Jump Scroll after another.
His body remained stuck in place, unable to move, while the black crow claw, like an unstoppable steamroller, crushed all his ans of resistance.
He watched helplessly as the crow claw plunged into his chest, extracting his large heart.
As his heart was removed, Ain’s face went instantly pale; he watched the black crow fly to the side of the Black Wizard Bob, his lips trembling but unable to utter a single word.
It was only then that he noticed the terrifying aura of murderous energy emanating from the Black Wizard beside Bob.
He was definitely one of the War Wizards from the Tower of Truth who delighted in expeditions across different planes.
Ain suddenly rembered that Bob, when he wasn’t commanding the resource developnt departnt, seed to be part of the military chamber of comrce participating in plane expeditions.
Bob’s face stiffened as he watched this scene unfold; Ain, as the head of security, was a genuine Three Rings Wizard who had participated in nurous plane wars in his earlier years.
Yet such a formidable figure had just been subdued by Richard’s unassuming pet crow.
Has this world gone mad?
He had always thought that the crow was Richard’s Magic Pet.
“You are Ain, right?”
Ain watched as the Black Wizard spoke to him calmly.
“You may not know, but I was also on the airship earlier.
Bob invited to attend the auction hosted by the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce, and yet this is how you welco guests.
I’m not pleased about this.”
At his words, Ain’s face paled again.
He knew Bob had arranged for a VIP airship to pick up guests at the airship field, but who would have known that Bob could bring back such a ruthless figure?
If he had known, he would have ensured that Bob’s airship had no turbulence whatsoever and arrived at the auction smoothly.
Richard, holding Ain’s still-beating heart, slowly walked up to him.
“Minister Ain, I think there’s an issue with how you’ve handled this situation.
What do you think?”
Richard’s fingers tightened slightly, and Ain’s large heart distorted slightly.
Seeing this, Ain couldn’t help but wince in sympathy.
“I understand, I understand your point, Master,” said Ain repeatedly.
He turned to look at the several Black Wizards who had accompanied him, speaking angrily:
“You worthless things, to have such a distinguished guest attacked, you’re all fired!”
With that, the wizards felt their soul contracts with the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce being severed.
The Black Wizards looked at each other in dismay, suffering the consequences of their superiors’ quarrel.
The small figures, rely following orders, were the ones really affected.
Ain turned back to Richard, his face adopting a flattering smile:
“Master, do you find this arrangent acceptable?”
Richard didn’t reply; he just tossed the heart back to Ain and then returned to Bob’s side.
Ain carefully caught his own heart, then stuffed it back into the bloody hole in his chest; his complexion imdiately improved significantly.
He took out a crystal ball and sent out several ssages. Soon, a new VIP airship arrived beside Bob.
Ain approached Richard, opened the cabin door, and made a gesture inviting him to enter:
“Master, please.”
Richard glanced at him, “There won’t be any more attacks, will there?”
Ain shook his head repeatedly, smiling obsequiously:
“No, no, there won’t be. From now on, I will ensure your escort, guaranteeing not even a jolt.”
Richard nodded and gestured for Bob to enter.
“Chairman Bob, please.”
Bob looked startled at first, but understanding Richard’s intent from his expression, he straightened his Wizard Robe and smiled at Richard:
“Master, you are too polite.”
Bob walked briskly into the airship, and Richard followed closely behind.
After the cabin door was closed, Ain quickly flew to the airship he had arrived in. He took out a crystal ball that could connect to the pilots of these airships.
“Lead the way, and if this distinguished guest experiences even the slightest jolt, don’t bother showing up to work anymore.”
“Yes!”
…
Ain’s experience was swiftly turned into a docunt that landed on the desks of various potential heirs.
“A Black Wizard from the Tower of Truth, using only a Magic Pet, extracted Ain’s heart with ease,”
Rother looked at the intelligence on his desk, frowning.
“Teacher, it seems the smoke bomb you chose is about to beco the master here.”
Rother pulled out a crystal ball from his pocket and sent two ssages. Soon, a Black Wizard arrived in Rother’s office.
“Sir, what do you need to do?”
Rother took out a gorgeously crafted, magnificent chairmanship badge from his pocket. On the back of the badge, a blood fingerprint was imprinted.
“Take this item to Roma Ha City and invite that Master over.”
The Black Wizard’s body shuddered; others might not know about Roma Ha City, but as Rother’s confidant, he was very aware.
That place seed to be territory of a One Ring Wizard on the surface, but in reality, it concealed a Three Rings mad Wizard.
Seeing his subordinate’s lack of response, Rother’s tone beca a bit harsher.
“What, is there a problem?”
The Black Wizard shook his head repeatedly:
“No problem, I’ll go right away.”
