Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 427 The Shocked Deputy Mayor, That Damn Municipal Corrupt Official

Based on Jiang Han's age and the strength he displayed, it's not hard to guess that this group of people are the National Team members who were confirmed not long ago.

"Ahem, don't make wild guesses. In short, you need to quickly mark out a piece of coastal land, preferably the kind where you can create a protective barrier. We'll help you eliminate any potential threats, and you just need to keep your promise." Ai Jiangtu coughed twice to change the subject.

Ai Jiangtu was shocked to realize that he had almost been exposed. His mentors had stipulated that he could not reveal his identity.

Although the higher-ups blocked the news after the National Government team members were selected, they still couldn't stop the information channels of various forces. And it's not hard to guess that the average age of their team is around 22. If they were in society, they would be a group of young mages who are inexperienced in the ways of the world.

But now they have not only wiped out a Crimson Demon Clan, but also killed the Crimson Rift Demon, a leader-level demon in the clan. This level of combat power can only be achieved by the best of the best trained by various universities or forces!

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't know anything, and don't worry, I'll definitely cooperate with you in hunting demons!" Lin Junxian said with a smile.

The most troublesome Crimson Demon clan has now been dealt with, leaving only some low-level sea monsters roaming the nearby waters. The municipal authorities only need to send a team of guard mages, and with the cooperation of these top students from various academies, it would be incredibly easy to encircle and annihilate them.

Once the sea monsters roaming the nearby waters are cleared away, and with a little publicity, the Lin Group's real estate projects, such as sea-view properties, will start to generate profits.

Lin Junxian immediately contacted the municipal leaders, including the vice mayor Li Jingming who had tricked him into taking over the business. At first, Li Jingming was somewhat skeptical, but when he arrived at the scene and saw the demonic courage of hundreds of warrior-level Crimson Demons and the enormous, undead body of the Crimson Rift Demon, he was completely stunned and speechless.

All four broken islands were shrouded in frost, and as for the ring-shaped sea area, apart from a few places where the ice surface was shattered by the crimson monster, the rest of the area was still frozen.

"This...this is the Crimson Rift Demon that commands hundreds of Crimson Demons?" Vice Mayor Li Jingming immediately took several steps back upon seeing the Crimson Rift Demon, which Jiang Han had transformed into an undead creature.

"Hmm," Ai Jiangtu nodded and said calmly, "You don't actually need to be afraid of this Crimson Rift Demon. After it was killed by my companion, it was transformed into an undead creature and is no longer a threat."

"That's truly a young hero, hahaha!" Deputy Mayor Li Jingming could only cover up his embarrassment with a loud laugh.

After seeing that the Crimson Demon Clan had been completely wiped out by Jiang Han and the others, his attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, and he personally took charge to arrange for the Guardian Mages to set up traps and warning lines.

After leaving Broken Island, Jiang Han and the others were arranged to rest at a hotel by Lin Junxian. Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying, who were sent by Ai Jiangtu to gather information, returned late and brought bad news to everyone.

After investigation and speculation by Jiang Yu, it was determined that the disappearance and death of the infant was secretly suppressed by internal personnel of the municipal government, which greatly angered Ai Jiangtu, Nan Yu and other people from the Ministry of Health.

"These bastards actually condoned the cover-up!" Ai Jiangtu suddenly stood up from his chair, his whole body filled with murderous intent.

"These are all just my guesses, but the fact that they concealed the baby's disappearance and death is undeniable!" Jiang Yu said earnestly.

"Damn it, if we had known it would be like this, we wouldn't have gone to help them kill the sea monsters!" Nan Yu said, equally furious.

"If we don't help them kill the sea monsters, more infants will be abducted and devoured by the Crimson Demons," Jiang Han said calmly, taking a sip of his tea.

"Bang!" Nan Yu slammed her fist on the table in anger.

Just as Jiang Han said, if they don't go and hunt down those Crimson Demons, and the municipal government has already stopped intervening, more infants in Flying Bird City will be kidnapped and devoured by sea monsters in the future. This is a dead end, and a dead end that they have no choice but to go through!

"Then find out exactly how many babies have gone missing over the years?" Ai Jiangtu asked in a deep voice.

"From three years ago to now... there have been more than a hundred cases. There are especially many cases before spring. This is the data I got from the archives of the relevant departments in Asuka City. As for those that are not registered in the archives, there may be even more."

"Then I spent some money to have some idle people go door-to-door inquiring in every village, town, and county under the jurisdiction of Asuka City. All of these cases were true, but they were all categorized as human trafficking. For the past five years, infants have gone missing every spring without a trace. Logically, these should have been classified as demonic cases long ago. It's obvious someone is deliberately covering it up," Jiang Yu said.

Over a hundred children have gone missing in three years, and that's just the ones in the records. Who knows how many children have actually gone missing in those three years, how many families have been torn apart because of it? If there were no trace of human traffickers, the city's monster-hunting team should have taken over and classified it as a demon case long ago.

Many people couldn't sit still anymore and called for a lesson to be taught to the corrupt officials within the municipal government. In particular, Jiang Shaoxu subconsciously tried to take out her phone to call for help, but embarrassingly found that her phone had already been confiscated by her tutor, which earned her a round of ridicule from the young lady Mu Tingying.

In the end, Ai Jiangtu changed the subject; otherwise, someone would definitely have thought of taking a shortcut and using other behind-the-scenes forces to resolve the Asuka City baby disappearance incident.

After confirming that the Lin Group was not problematic, Ai Jiangtu suggested discussing with Lin Junxian to see if they could obtain any other clues.

A few minutes later, in the conference room on the top floor of the Lin Group, Lin Jun sat idly in the main seat, while Jiang Han and others sat on either side of the conference table.

"Jiang Yu, take out the information you've gathered and show it to Mr. Lin," Ai Jiangtu said, turning to Jiang Yu, who was sitting to his left.

"Okay," Jiang Yu nodded.

Jiang Yu then got up, inserted the USB drive containing the data into the computer, and then projected it onto the conference room screen using a projector.

Everyone was already furious when they heard Jiang Yu's account, and now, seeing the projected photos and other data, everyone's face turned extremely ugly. Lin Junxian, who was sitting in the main seat, was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!!" Lin Junxian clenched his fists and roared angrily.

Lin Junxian originally thought that the municipal government's failure to exterminate the sea monsters was merely inaction, but now it seems that those corrupt officials in the municipal government are utterly deserving of death!

Utterly disappointed, Lin Junxian was truly disappointed with the municipal administration of Asuka City!

Just as Lin Jun was about to call Vice Mayor Li Jingming in a fit of anger, Ai Jiangtu stopped him. However, their investigation had reached a stalemate. If they wanted to continue the investigation, they could only wait for another incident to occur. But this method would be gambling with the child's life. If they lost the gamble, another young life would be lost.
