Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 196 - Furious Hall
Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Furious Hall
Chapter 196 -196 Furious Hall
Tang Qi found a hidden spot to revert to his true self, returning to the brick mansion after two days.
Indeed, just as Tang Qi anticipated, the Night Beast successfully passed the sealing test left by Saint Confessor Martin Sims in Thorns Campus. Only chaotic and evil-aligned monsters or Transcendents within the campus would be suppressed or even exterminated directly.
The Night Beast, known as “Shadow Beast,” is actually from the Neutral Camp.
It hid on Tang Qi like a tattoo. As soon as it entered the campus, it conveyed feelings like “terrifying” and “we have entered a strong creature’s territory.”
If it weren’t for Tang Qi’s explanations and comforting, the beast would have likely fled immediately.
The Confessor’s aura still radiated terror after so many years.
Back at the mansion, Tang Qi released the restrictions on the Night Beast, allowing it to transform into a shadow darting around the place, its curiosity piqued by the mansion’s elegance and vitality as opposed to the desolate and deadly silence of Sleeping Town.
Tang Qi himself planned to first bathe to wash off the dust he had accumulated on his body.
After all, he had been on a long journey.
But before he could act, a sudden ringing of the phone interrupted him.
Tang Qi’s expression changed as if he guessed who would be at the other end, and he picked up the receiver.
Indeed, it was Stanna’s voice.
“Ah, Tang Qi?”
The female chief’s voice was full of surprise, seemingly astonished that Tang Qi was home.
Then she quickly relayed that she had called multiple times over the past two days without response, and had later specially sent a campus instructor to check, who found Tang Qi’s departing note explaining he was away on business and would return in a few days.
Now this call, Stanna made casually, not expecting Tang Qi to have just returned.
“So, the Mellon Family and Hastu Club have completely fallen out? Has the decisive battle started now?”
After listening for a while, Tang Qi inquired.
“You could check out the newspapers from the past few days. Both sides seem to ignore Hall and Ancient Castle Bureau, brewing a larger-scale battle, likely spreading beyond Blank District.”
“The coming times may get even more turbulent. Hall can’t find Sith, and is extremely angry. They might request the state military stationed in the Secret Phoenix Suburb to intervene in the Messer City dispute. The officials of Secret Phoenix State won’t allow such a scandal to occur.”
…
After conversing with Stanna for over ten minutes, Tang Qi hung up the phone.
He then reopened the door, stepping out to the mailbox in the courtyard.
Moments later, Tang Qi returned, carrying a large stack of newspapers and magazines accumulated over two days into the mansion.
To better assimilate into this world, Tang Qi had always maintained the good habit of subscribing to newspapers.
Messer City’s press industry was exceptionally developed.
There were various styles of newspapers and magazines, almost everything one could imagine, and Tang Qi could find several that suited his taste.
But at this moment, preferences seemed unimportant.
Because almost all the newspapers’ headlines were more or less the same news.
Attack!
Every headline carried a strong sense of aggression!
Messer City’s new Mayor Gary Ross, a complete hypocrite — Messer Evening News.
Once the creator of Messer, now a hindrance to its rise, the so-called First Family, the black Mellons — Midtown Morning News.
Allowing a villain draped in hypocrisy to rise to power was our mistake, and we must rectify it — Golden Weekly.
Mellon Family, the founders of Blank District, a cancerous family — Justice Proverbs Newspaper.
Gary Ross’s curse technique, the Mellon Family’s secret technique for gaining wealth, all mysteries are unveiled here – Purple Moonlight Newspaper.
Tang Qi casually flipped through a few newspapers. Besides the secretly included Purple Moonlight Newspaper and some unreliable tabloids, most of the public opinion was divided into two factions, fiercely attacking and exposing each other’s dark histories.
Before, only some high-level officials were aware of these issues.
For instance, Gary Ross’s scandal of brutality, and the Mellon Family’s early and current brutal style, were all exposed to the public.
Of course, there was no evidence.
Yet, anyone with a bit of wisdom knew that most of it was probably true.
But what could be done?
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Residents of Blank District either moved out early from this toxic area, or during the daytime, they hoarded food and water, locking doors and windows tightly after dusk. Nonetheless, this couldn’t prevent misfortune; some unlucky ones still got affected by the conflicts of both sides.
Apart from Blank District, other major areas were equally panic-stricken, and Messer City had already witnessed a large-scale exodus.
Although other cities and counties were also continuously experiencing supernatural and mysterious events, none were as severe as Messer City.
Tang Qi hadn’t expected that he had only been gone for two days.
Yet, the situation had deteriorated to such a dire state, plunging Tang Qi into deep confusion.
Whether it was the Mellon Family or the Hastu Club.
Neither should have been so impulsive. Even if the return of the Spiritual Tide gave both parties great confidence, they should have considered.
In this uncertain new order, perhaps the official power might be significantly weakened, but initially, the officials could still maintain a dominant position. Specifically, being too excessive early on could attract a thunderous strike from the officials.
“Unless they believe they can…”
“Boom!”
Just as Tang Qi was about to fall into contemplation, a sudden, horrifying, and intense boom exploded nearby.
“Huh!”
Tang Qi’s expression changed abruptly, he stood up swiftly, dropped the newspaper, and quickly left the campus through a side door, soon reaching the source of the explosion.
A terrifying scene instantly unfolded before Tang Qi and other residents of Blank District.
Among the dust kicked up by a collapsing building, a figure resembling a demon appeared fleetingly. In just a few short seconds, most residents hiding at home couldn’t see anything. But Tang Qi saw it clearly.
That demonic figure, completely disregarding the vine-like strands entwined around it that resembled intestines or blood-sucking tendrils, punched fiercely, enveloping sulfur and flames, continuously pounding another figure on the ground.
It was blurry, but the mask on the figure was strikingly noticeable.
A white mask with a dangerously weird symbol, outlined in sultry red, exuding a perilous aura.
“A demon contractor?”
“A higher-level polluter?”
As Tang Qi was taken aback, a sudden roar came from afar.
“You are all courting death!”
Accompanied by the roar, an immensely bulky figure charged over.
At the same time, this figure raised an arm, revealing an exaggerated piece of armor-like weaponry.
“Hum”
A dense white light surged from the front of the arm armor.
The barely visible range, evidently covered the two battling figures.
