The Dark Organization.
White Lion’s office.
White Lion, who usually hated wearing formal clothes, had unusually put on that tuxedo.
To prevent accidents like last time, he had even specially hung his scabbard on his belt.
In this way, the “Elegant Leader” and “Silver Blade,” familiar to the magical girls, appeared in White Lion’s office.
Although the title “Elegant Leader” carried a hint of usurping implications, this was deliberately leaked by White Lion to the magical girls.
Moreover, most magical girls referred to him by this title.
“Silver Blade” was the name the magical girls had given him.
It could only be said that White Lion’s ambitions were known to all.
However, no one on his own side cared about it.
But this didn’t hinder the expansion of White Lion’s ambitions.
He believed that one day, he would stand atop the Black Dragon’s head!
Bang!
The office door was suddenly kicked open by someone.
“You’re so slow! Are you ready yet?!”
Black Dragon swaggered in and plopped down on White Lion’s sofa.
A “#” symbol appeared out of thin air on White Lion’s head, but he still held back the urge to draw his sword.
“Urge, urge, urge! All you know is to urge!” White Lion gritted his teeth.
“Do you know that tidying up one’s appearance takes time!”
Black Dragon shifted from sitting to lying, comfortably sprawled out on White Lion’s sofa.
“How are things with Dark Fang? Going smoothly?”
White Lion twitched the corner of his mouth.
Although the other’s attitude was infuriating, it was business after all.
“The mission has been successfully completed. Now, news about Dark Fang has spread in the magical girls’ circle—it’s almost common knowledge, including among the people from the Magic Association.”
“Oh? So fast?”
Black Dragon sat up, quite surprised, and asked.
“What did that kid do? Poke the magical girls’ nest?”
This wasn’t quite what he had originally expected.
According to the original plan, it should have been after pressuring that kid into his debut battle with the magical girls that news of this new executive would slowly spread in the magical girls’ circle.
The Magic Association would likely take even longer to catch wind of it.
But obviously, something unexpected had happened.
Otherwise, a simple new executive couldn’t attract so much attention all at once.
White Lion shook his head, calmly explaining.
“It’s not as bad as you think. It’s that Dark Fang’s ability to counter anti-humans was suddenly dug up by someone.”
“So that’s it…”
Black Dragon thought carefully.
The first time Dark Fang took on a mission—representing the Dark Organization to hunt anti-humans—there had indeed been a magical girl at the scene.
This guy must have accidentally run into that magical girl on this outing, right?
Otherwise, the news couldn’t have exploded all at once.
“Sigh~.” Black Dragon couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed paper couldn’t wrap fire after all.
Although he knew this would be discovered sooner or later, this was too fast.
“The handling of subsequent events… is really troublesome enough.”
“Actually, it’s fine.” White Lion finally finished adjusting his clothes, slowly drawing his sword from the scabbard and carefully polishing it.
“It would be made public sooner or later anyway—might as well solve the problem early.”
“That makes sense.”
Black Dragon reached under White Lion’s desk and groped around.
After a while, he actually pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
Taking off his mask to light one for himself, Black Dragon started puffing away right in White Lion’s office.
“The ashtray is under the drawer—get it yourself.”
“Can you handle the next thing?”
“Why do you ask?”
White Lion was a bit puzzled.
Black Dragon said, “Anti-humans have always been a headache for all forces. The resources spent on actions against them number in the tens of thousands each time, right? Although we can ensure perfect resolution every time, this can’t go on like this.”
White Lion understood Black Dragon’s meaning.
“So… the Magic Association might approach Dark Fang?”
Black Dragon nodded and continued, “That’s right. After all, it’s rare to have a ‘hunter’ who can perfectly counter these creatures—they won’t compromise.”
As he spoke, Black Dragon flicked the ash onto the floor.
White Lion once again held back the urge to beat him up.
No rush, no rush.
We’re discussing important matters now.
I’ll jot it down in my little notebook first. Once he leaves, I’ll turn on the floor shaker…
“So, you think they’ll come to us first?”
Black Dragon didn’t speak, acquiescing to White Lion’s guess.
“My god… that would be really troublesome.”
White Lion helplessly held his forehead.
The Magic Association was actually the organization that coordinated all magicians and magic users.
Like the Dark Organization, they also took in some monsters in their spare time.
By the way, the Magic Association and the magical girls were in a cooperative relationship, and they also maintained some contacts with the Dark Organization, making them a neutral force.
The Magic Association’s combat power, due to lacking top-tier special individuals, wasn’t enough to confront the Dark Organization head-on.
But their numbers were ridiculously large—almost all non-ordinary people with superpowers or magic had some connection to the Magic Association.
Another point was that the entry threshold for the Magic Association was extremely low, and it was always open to the public.
Compared to the Dark Organization, they were more like a very large company.
Therefore, the Magic Association’s influence in the underworld was several levels higher than the Dark Organization’s.
If they wanted to poach Dark Fang, that would be quite troublesome for the Dark Organization.
For example, if the Magic Association offered conditions that Dark Fang couldn’t refuse… what then?
White Lion, who still didn’t know that Li Chi was in a semi-committed state, thought this way.
Black Dragon got up to leave, finding an excuse to go to the bathroom, leaving White Lion alone in the office to think.
He was afraid he might burst out laughing if he stayed.
“If that newcomer can’t resist the temptation…”
And this was also what White Lion worried about.
