Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 420 Mo Fan's Envy, Jiang Han's Business Intelligence

"Are you really magicians?" The old man looked at Jiang Han and the others with some suspicion.

In the subconscious of the old man and these villagers, Jiang Han and others were just trying to lure them into moving to the resettlement houses so that they could covet the land that they had relied on for generations. Now, Ai Jiangtu said that they were monks who went out to train. Do you think the old man and the others can believe that?

Ai Jiangtu and the others naturally saw through the fishermen's thoughts. Immediately, purple arcs of electricity appeared around Ai Jiangtu, which frightened the fishermen who were nearby, and they quickly retreated, afraid of being affected by the arcs of electricity around Ai Jiangtu.

The old man and the young men then believed the group's identities and handed them weapons. The old man stepped forward and said apologetically, "Did I think you were people sent by a heartless real estate developer who wanted to seize our land? I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, we understand," Ai Jiangtu said with a smile.

Although many members of the National Government Team come from prominent families, their identities are now frozen, making it impossible for them to call upon others to help the villagers deal with the real estate developer. They can only wait until they reunite with their mentors and resolve the matter through the government.

"Sea monsters have indeed been appearing on the coast lately, and there have been casualties in many places, but the authorities haven't sent anyone to exorcise them," the old man said with a helpless sigh.

"Isn't your village within Anjie's territory? Why are there still sea monsters appearing there?" Jiang Shaoxu asked疑惑地问道.

"Who knows? I heard that several fishermen from the next village have gone missing. That's all I know; I don't know anything else," the old man said, shaking his head.

"Thank you, sir," Ai Jiangtu said to the old man, then turned to Jiang Han and the others and said, "In that case, let's go and take a look at the nearby port."

Originally, the group was going directly to the port, but they went to the fishing village to inquire about the situation in order to confirm Jiang Han's guess. Although they did not know where the siren's lair was, they were at least certain that their mentor had a real purpose in leaving them here.

A journey of seventy or eighty li would take a considerable amount of time on foot, but with a means of transportation, it would only take ten minutes or so.

After leaving the small fishing village, Jiang Han summoned the Bone Nether Dragon to continue using it as a means of transportation. He asked the others to ride with him not for Mu Ningxue's sake, but simply to avoid wasting time.

From the back of the skeletal dragon, one can clearly see the beautiful bay below. However, due to planning issues, many areas are overgrown with weeds. Deep in the bay, there are many sea-view houses that have sprung up, but these buildings are newly built and appear chaotic. Construction teams can be vaguely seen working on the site.

"Damn it, these evil capitalists." Mo Fan looked at the sea view houses below and shed 'tears' of envy.

Jiang Han patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and teased him with a smile, "No matter how much you complain, it won't change the fact that we can't afford it."

"Damn it, Jiang Han, you've gone too far!" Mo Fan, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbed Jiang Han's collar in anger.

Noticing their condition, Zhao Manyan quickly pulled Mo Fan aside and advised, "Mo Fan, you need to calm down. You can't beat him right now."

Hearing this, Mo Fan could only helplessly let go. In the past, after being teased by Jiang Han, he could still challenge him to a fight. Although he would lose, at least it wouldn't be too embarrassing. But now, not only could he not beat Jiang Han's little fox, but even the skeletal Nether Dragon under his feet could easily defeat him. It was infuriating!

"Enough talk, let's go to the port and ask if there are any ships going to Japan," Ai Jiangtu interrupted the two and walked to the front of the line.

"Having a boat is useless; they're bound to check our identities," said the burly young man at the back of the group.

This young man was much more robust than the others. Jiang Han remembered that his name was Zu Jiming and he was from the Zu family. He himself had entered the National Team through his aunt, who was the Speaker's secretary. He looked down on everyone and was extremely arrogant.

Besides Captain Ai Jiangtu, there's also Jiang Han (the Skeleton Nether Dragon), who has shown his strength. He's rather aggressive when talking to anyone, and the hot-tempered Mo Fan and the rich second-generation Zhao Manyan don't give him any attention. As a result, the two of them had quite a few conflicts with him on the way.

"That guy? Zu something again? Never mind, anyway, all you need to know is that you need to use your brain for a lot of things." Mo Fan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to ridicule Zu Jiming.

"My name is Zu-Ji-Ming!!" Zu-Ji-Ming roared through gritted teeth.

Seeing that Zu Jiming and Mo Fan were about to start fighting again, Ai Jiangtu, as the team leader, quickly pushed them apart and then turned to ask, "Mo Fan, if you have any good ideas on how to resolve our identities, please tell me quickly."

"Ahem, ahem," Mo Fan coughed a few times, feigning seriousness, and said, "Everyone has problems they can't solve, and we mages can often help people solve them. I think in such a large port city, it's impossible for everyone to have everything go their way. We do things for people, and the people who hire us are responsible for taking us to the island nation. It's that simple!"

Jiang Han and Mo Fan are both hunters, and Jiang Han is a hunter master several levels higher than Mo Fan. He naturally understands what Mo Fan means. In big cities like this, especially coastal ones, the most scarce resource is skilled hunter mages or hired mages.

"You make it sound so easy. Who would be so easy as to send people like us, who don't even have identities, to an island nation? You know, smuggling is illegal!" Zujiming said disdainfully.

"Should I say you're genuinely not smart or just pretending?" Jiang Han shook his head and continued, "Who told you you have to accept normal bounty missions? You should know that some things in this world can't be resolved openly."

"Old Zhao, I heard that the Lin Group seems to be engaged in a business war with your Zhao family recently. Moreover, the group's president, Lin Jun, just acquired a sizable plot of land in Feijiao City. And what we just looked at seems to be seaside properties that the Lin Group is planning to develop."

"This is a trade secret, Jiang Han, how did you know?" Zhao Manyan asked, somewhat shocked.

Zhao Manyan was the young master of the Zhao Group. Although he was not as good at business as his brother Zhao Youqian, he still understood the seriousness of leaking trade secrets. A slight mistake could lead to the complete defeat of the business war he had planned. Therefore, he was extremely shocked that Jiang Han knew about the Lin Group's plan to expand into Feibiao City.

"It's no longer a trade secret; it's just that your Zhao family's intelligence system hasn't found out yet. If the Lin family's problems in Feibiao City can't be resolved, they'll become a laughing stock in a while," Jiang Han said calmly.

"Tell me more details," Zhao Manyan asked expectantly.

"Lin Jun got screwed over by the mayor of Asuka City. Actually, it's not entirely the mayor's fault; Lin Jun just had bad luck recently because of the sea monster infestation. Merchant ships at sea are unsafe and are frequently attacked by sea monsters, scaring away many investors. If this can't be resolved soon, we'll see news about the Lin Group going bankrupt in the news," Jiang Han said with a smile.
