Chapter 47: Don’t Worry About That

Under the octopus monster’s guidance, Dark Fang finally arrived at the scene of the incident at the Magic Association.

…Um, was this really the Magic Association?

Li Chi even suspected that the octopus monster had pointed him in the wrong direction.

The site was left with nothing but broken walls and rubble. 

It looked more like it had been suddenly attacked.

“Hey! Dark Fang! Over here!”

White Lion appeared out of nowhere and waved at Dark Fang from a distance.

“What happened here?”

Dark Fang jumped over a pile of debris and came up to White Lion. 

White Lion had a strange look on his face and spoke hesitantly.

“Um… maybe… perhaps…”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell Dark Fang the truth. It was just… quite embarrassing.

Crash—

The rubble beside them suddenly shifted. 

The black-armored figure climbed out from underneath, kicking up a large cloud of dust and stones.

“Ugh! Why are you in such a hurry? This is your own house!”

Right after, a silver-haired youth climbed out from the same pit.

“The building collapsed, no big deal. It’ll be fixed in a bit anyway.”

The silver-haired youth looked around. 

Fortunately, when the two of them started fighting, the entire building had already been cleared of people.

Not bad—his granddaughter was pretty smart. 

She knew that when Xing Yao fully released his magic power, it would affect others, so she had evacuated all the Magic Association headquarters staff in advance.

Xing Yao brought his hands together. 

A gentle wave of magic power slowly flowed from his palms.

The ruins of the building rose from the ground and slowly moved back to their original positions.

After a few breaths, a brand-new building once again appeared before them.

“Specializing in magic really is different. The efficiency is amazing.”

Black Dragon couldn’t help sighing at the sight.

“Gugu gaga!”

“—Gu—Ga!”

Suddenly, cries from the basic monsters came from afar.

A group of basic monsters flew over from the direction of the Dark Organization, hugging various pieces of equipment with terrified expressions on their faces.

“Good thing these items weren’t inside the building. These things aren’t cheap. If they broke, ordinary repair magic wouldn’t be enough to restore them to their original state.”

Xing Yao looked at the monsters in the air with lingering fear. 

The combined value of this equipment was astronomical. 

If they had been lost, he would have been heartbroken for a long time.

The basic monsters hugged their equipment in fear. They had no idea what was going on.

Then, all the doors and windows of the building opened at once. 

The equipment flew out of the monsters’ arms and neatly returned to their proper places inside the building.

The monsters in the air lost their support and fell one after another. 

Since they weren’t too high up, they landed in a big pile on the ground.

A “monster mountain” formed right in front of the Magic Association headquarters. If a passing magical girl saw it, she would probably let out a piercing scream.

Everything returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.

“See? Our Dark Organization’s monsters are smart. They knew the building might get damaged and moved your equipment out in advance.” 

Black Dragon still wore that extremely punchable smug expression as he proudly said to Xing Yao behind him, “Let me tell you, you owe me a huge favor this time.”

Xing Yao patted off nonexistent dust from his body. The muscles on his face twitched slightly.

“Why did the building collapse in the first place?”

Xing Yao questioned.

“Wasn’t it because you had nothing better to do and wanted to fight me?”

Black Dragon remained completely unfazed.

“Then let me ask you, why did I want to fight you?”

“Don’t worry about that. I just want to ask—didn’t our monsters help prevent damage to your equipment?”

After listening to White Lion explain what had happened earlier, Li Chi couldn’t help sighing to White Lion from the side.

As expected of the Boss. His ability to twist nonsense into truth and then turn around to question the other party is just too strong!

White Lion looked at Li Chi in horror.

“I’m telling you, don’t you dare learn from this guy!”

He was afraid another Black Dragon would appear beside him. 

One was already enough to make him miserable; two would probably make him lose his appetite entirely.

White Lion, who still didn’t know that Vivian and Black Dragon had been teaming up to mess with him all along, was worried that Li Chi would learn bad habits. 

He quickly pulled him aside to lecture him.

The two groups chatted separately. 

One side was harmonious and gave off that teacher-like atmosphere again, while the other side looked like they were about to start fighting, with one of them clearly wanting to smash the other’s skull open.

“Alright, alright, stop messing around. Let’s talk about serious business.”

Black Dragon pressed down on Xing Yao’s head to stop him from biting and called Li Chi and White Lion over.

“Dark Fang has now officially entered the Magic Association’s sights.” 

As Black Dragon spoke, he secretly glanced at Xing Yao to gauge his reaction. 

“You two don’t know this yet, but it was actually this guy who has been helping Dark Fang hide his identity in the magic world all this time.”

Black Dragon pointed at Xing Yao, who snorted and turned his head away.

Dark Fang looked at the silver-haired youth in surprise.

From White Lion’s earlier explanation, he already knew the youth’s identity.

President of the Magic Association, the most powerful mage in the world, a titan of the magic world—Xing Yao.

These titles were just the tip of the iceberg. If all of them were listed, it would probably take more than one chapter to finish.

This showed that Xing Yao’s influence in the magic world was currently unmatched. 

Only a handful of people could stand on the same level as him, one of them being the world’s first magical girl. 

However, that magical girl had long disappeared from public view. 

The only thing known was that she was still alive. Other than that, almost no information about her could be found.

Back to the main topic.

Black Dragon looked at Dark Fang and said,

“Due to certain reasons, the plan to prevent ‘Dark Fang’ from being targeted by the Magic Association has failed. Even ‘Li Chi’ has been noticed by some mages. Therefore, after discussion between the two of us, we’ve decided to have you join the Magic Association.”

White Lion’s expression suddenly turned quite ugly. 

Although Black Dragon didn’t mention it, this was indeed his fault that things had been exposed.

He had calculated everything, but missed one person.

That person was Xing Yuan Cai!

That idol magical girl had already written a report about Li Chi before going to see her grandfather. It seemed she was determined to recruit Li Chi.

“Huh? Me?”

Dark Fang pointed at himself in disbelief.

Having his leader openly tell him to switch sides in front of him was something this social newbie had never experienced before.

Even the memory movies didn’t have similar content. His brain was buzzing.

“Don’t overthink it. We’re only having ‘Li Chi’ join the Magic Association. It has nothing to do with the Dark Organization executive ‘Dark Fang.’”

Black Dragon explained and elbowed Xing Yao beside him.

“That’s right. You can also just register a name here. After all, you’re still a student. Even though it’s summer vacation now, this shouldn’t affect your studies.”

Xing Yao was quite considerate and had even prepared a perfect excuse for Li Chi.

But… wasn’t this playing the role of a double agent? Was this really okay?

Li Chi couldn’t help but question the feasibility of this decision.

Also, why did it feel like he was stacking more and more buffs on himself?
