Chapter 906

(Unedited)

…

The troubles in the Dragon's Ridge has caught Shin Jiao's attention so he tried to contact his people as ask about the situation of Loom and the rest who went to the elven kingdom. Luckily they had arrived safely and are now under the care of the El'fore family.

When arriving at the half-built TV station, Shin Jiao noticed that a lot of important people from the city have come.

When they saw him everyone greeted Shin Jiao.

From the expression of the City Mayor and the Viscount, it seems that they want to tell him something.

"Is something wrong?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Well… actually everything is fine… but… it seems that those mages from the other towers are becoming hostile to us. Ever since the Great White Tower of Dugal crumbled, they became wary of us and would always pick a fight whenever there are small disagreements. I don't know what to do about those people anymore…" the Mayor said with a sunken expression.

"Hmm… I guess this is partly my fault. But those people are barking up on the wrong tree…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

"We tried talking to them but they would not let us in…" the Viscount said.

"I will personally talk to them then…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When those people who are with him saw his smile, they immediately knew that Shin Jiao is going to do something.

This guy seldom smiles like that, he would smile casually or wryly, but when he flashes that crafty smile, they knew that he is planning something.

And so Shin Jiao checked the station first and in the afternoon he, the Viscount, and the Mayor walk out and from the direction where they are going, it seems that they are going to visit a mage tower.

Their first stop is a well-known mage tower which is among the strongest mage towers in the city, the Phoenix tower.

The Phoenix tower has been in existence for 10 years now. Unlike the other powerful mage towers that have hundreds of years of experience and great influence, the Phoenix tower is still young. However, due to the presence of two Grand Magus amongst their ranks, they became one of the kingdom's most powerful mage towers.

The Phoenix mage towers have two main branches. One is at the outer world in the Main Arjing City, while the other one is at the capital city. And other than these two main mage towers, they also have many mage towers across the outer world, just like the other mage towers.

But the influence of the Phoenix Tower is great compared to other normal towers, and they are one of the three most influential mage towers in the city.

But due to the fall of the Great White Tower of Dugal, there are only two mage towers that hold such influence and the Phoenix tower is one of them.

But the Tower of Light is not against the city government. In fact, they are in close relation with the city government now and are already a part of them. And for this reason, the other mage towers look down on the Tower of Light. Though they dare not make a move on the mages of the tower because of the presence of Grand Magus Tong Liwen, they would always look down on the mages from the Tower of Light calling them names like 'pet' or 'deserters'.

Because of this, the Mayor and the Viscount are concern about the situation in the Tower of Light. Ever since that mages tower went to their side, they already received a lot of help from them, so how could they let the mage tower and their mages suffer?

And the only person they knew that could help them is Master Shin. And so, the two decided to ask for his help after they heard that he climbed out from the secret underground dungeon of the ruined mage tower.

"Master Shin, what should we do? Can we help?" the Mayor asked with large sweat beading on his forehead.

"I suggest the Mayor and the Viscount be prepared for any repercussion or the aftermath, ask Grand Magus Liwen to prepare…" Shin Jiao said.

"What are you going to do? And why should I prepare?" suddenly an old man appears next to Shin Jiao with a smile on his face.

"Gosh… Don't pop out just like that. You're like a ghost…" Shin Jiao almost jumps in fright as the old mage appears so suddenly.

Although he is not afraid, still it caught him off guard. Yemei Yin, on the other hand, suddenly appears on his other side with a fighting stance. She was caught off-guard too but became cautious immediately. She deemed herself the bodyguard of Shin Jiao, so how could she let just anyone do a sneak attack just like that.

"Haha… Calm down, little lad…" Tong Liwen said while chuckling.

"This shadow of yours is very interesting…" Tong Liwen said with a slight chuckle.

"Anyway, what is this about?" Tong Liwen changes the topic.

"Hmm… I want you to create a perimeter outside of the Phoenix Tower. I actually did not want to do this, but since they are not willing to compromise, then we can only threaten them, right?" Shin Jiao said while shrugging his shoulder.

"Aiyo… Are you going to tear down their tower too?" Tong Liwen showed panic in his eyes.

"No, I will not… That incident with the Great White Tower of Dugal is something that I did because it was needed. I was forced to do that…" Shin Jiao said with a frown.

"Alright, as long you do not destroy a tower, I'm good with anything. The research data in that tower is valuable. At least get them first before destroying it… Hehe…" Tong Liwen chuckled.

When the Mayor and the Viscount heard the old man's words, they almost trip and fell to the ground. Who could have known that this old man would say such a thing?

They thought he is concerned with the lives of the mages in the tower? Instead, he is more concerned about the data…

Shin Jiao looks at Tong Liwen with a gaping mouth. He could not believe that this old man would say such a thing.

"Hey, don't look at me like that… They started this thing, we can just get something out of it before they fall, right?" Tong Liwen said while looking ahead as if he did not notice the incredulous look of the people around him.

"Alright, let's do that then… But I just wanted to compromise. Having a Grand Magus in the city is still helpful than without one. At least the two of you can be a great force to be reckoned with." Shin Jiao said.

…

The Tower of Phoenix

Inside the tall tower, a group of mages are inside a large room and in a meeting.

"What do you think we should do about the fall of the Great White Tower of Dugal?! If they are able to tear down the Great White Tower of Dugal, then they might even be able to tear us down, who would say that we are not next?!" an Arch Mage said in anger while waving his hand in the air.

Everyone in the room looks at each other and knew that what this Arch Mage saying is correct. Although the reason for the fight is because of the wicked plan of the Great White Tower of Dugal, they thought that attacking the tower and completely turning it into rubbles is too ruthless.

When they saw that only a fourth of the mages inside the tower revived, they were all filled with anger and terror at the same time.

This is the reason why they dare not make a big move.

However, they also knew that this would not suffice. They have to arrive at a conclusion on how to handle such a matter. As mages, they always look down on others, but now that these people have the ability to bring them down, how could they not feel fear?

The group began to discuss their next move.

Right at this moment, a person suddenly barges inside the room.

The one seated at the head of the room is Rick Orfang. His expression turned dark while in the meeting, and when that mage barges inside, it immediately turned darker.

"How dare you?!" he shouted in anger.

The mage suddenly fell to the ground and bowed.

"Master… Grand Magus… Master… We… We have a problem…" the mage stuttered as cold sweat broke out of his back.

He could immediately feel the strong pressure coming from a Grand Magus weighing him down.

When Rick Orfang saw the trembling mage on the ground, he snorted then waves his hand. A strong gust of wind made the mage tumble as he was sprawled on the ground then picks himself up immediately.

He knew that he was spared.

He did not hesitate and immediately reported.

"The… The mayor and the Viscount are here to see you, Grand Magus…"

Rick Orfang sneered.. But the next words from the mage turned his expression ugly.
