Chapter Summary
Since agreeing to Liu Ning's request, he had been in contact with the higher-ups in his family for a while, hoping to get the magic crystal over. At this moment, Ma Qiang was having tea with his liaison, watching Liu Ning's inauguration ceremony while discussing the magic crystal. Even if he didn't have the ability to get the magic crystal, he had already done his best to make a connection with Liu Ning, and that was worthy of Liu Ning's support in nurturing Ma Zhuang.
Ma Family Martial Arts School.
Ma Qiang was also watching the live stream at home. He was very satisfied with Liu Ning's development. Sending his grandson to Liu Ning was indeed a very good plan. At first, Ma Qiang thought Liu Ning was too young and might make some mistakes. He didn't expect him to become a city councilor so quickly. Although he was the person in charge of the Ma family in this city, his political status was still somewhat different from Liu Ning's. He was right to have made the right choice.
Ma Qiang hadn't been idle during this time either. Since agreeing to Liu Ning's request, he had been in contact with the higher-ups in his family for a while, hoping to get the magic crystal over. He couldn't just let others make the effort while he remained silent. Ma Qiang wasn't that kind of person. However, after making contact in person, Ma Qiang knew that this matter wasn't so simple. Although the magic crystal was useless to ordinary people, its social value was undeniable, and getting it over wouldn't be easy.
At this moment, Ma Qiang was having tea with his liaison, watching Liu Ning's inauguration ceremony while discussing the magic crystal. The two had a good relationship. They were of the same generation in the Ma family and had both developed into near-ultimate warrior-level powerhouses. Ma Qiang had become the manager of this city, and this guy had become the liaison. The liaison's main task was to manage communication between the managers and families in various places. Although they didn't have much power, they had good relationships with superiors and various regions.
"Brother Qiang, what you're saying is indeed a difficult matter. If it were anything else, we could easily handle it without anyone stopping us. But this is a magic crystal, and our Ma family only has one. We only used it when we needed a magician's help. If we were to use it now, it might be inappropriate. However, we can act as a go-between. If we can't handle this ourselves, we can let Councilor Liu handle it himself. This way, you can also get away with it, Brother Qiang. It's much better than people saying we're taking money and not doing anything."
This guy knew exactly what Ma Qiang was thinking. Ma Zhuang was already considered a good person, and if he didn't say anything, Liu Ning might feel cheated and might send Ma Zhuang back. The whole Ma family knew what kind of person Ma Zhuang was. If it weren't for Liu Ning, this guy would probably continue to play around. It was precisely because of this that if this guy was allowed to go astray, Ma Qiang's future would be uncertain. So Ma Qiang had to give Liu Ning an explanation. Even if he didn't have the ability to get the magic crystal, he had already done his best to make a connection with Liu Ning, and that was worthy of Liu Ning's support in nurturing Ma Zhuang.
“I understand what you mean, brother, but I’ve been away from the family for a long time and I don’t know much about the situation there. If we’re going to go down that path, I’ll have to rely on your help. Your kid will be 18 next year, right? If there’s no suitable position in the family, he can come here. I can arrange it for him. It doesn’t have to be some important position, but I can train him. After wandering around here for two or three years and then returning to the family, he won’t be an ordinary member anymore. He’ll definitely be able to get a secure job.”
Ma Qiang thought for a moment and said, "These days, if you want to get things done, it's impossible without making sacrifices. People won't work for you for free, so you have to make some sacrifices. Although we're good brothers, when it comes to real interests, profit comes first."
Ma Qiang understood perfectly well that there was no real friendship between him and Liu Ning. Even if there was, it was merely mutual admiration, something insignificant. Therefore, if he wanted to establish a connection with Liu Ning, he had to make Liu Ning feel that he was useful. If he could handle the matter of the magic crystal stone well, Liu Ning would definitely continue to cooperate with him, and his grandson could continue to follow Liu Ning. This was Ma Qiang's only wish. Other things were not important to him. Being able to see his grandson progress was Ma Qiang's greatest wish. If he didn't even have an outstanding descendant, what had he accomplished in his life?
"Brother Qiang's words really resonate with me. My grandson is also a good-for-nothing, running around all over the Central Base City. But my abilities aren't that great either. I'm okay in some small cities, but if I offend someone in a place like the Central Base City, I'll have to kowtow to them. I don't have many grandsons, so I have to clean up their messes. If I offend those powerful people, I might lose my head. I'm very confident leaving them with Brother Qiang. I will do my best regarding the magic crystals, but I can't guarantee anything. Brother Qiang knows our family's situation. People like us can open up a path with just a word, but we really don't have the qualifications to make any guarantees."
The liaison officer was also somewhat frustrated. They were considered quite good among this generation, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to become ultimate warrior-level powerhouses. However, the two seemed to be in the same boat. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were quite good, but when it came to solving some core issues, they were not qualified enough. In addition, their descendants were completely useless, so the two had no future.
Hearing today that his grandson could be arranged as a liaison officer made him very happy. At least in a city like this, he won't cause much trouble. Even if he does cause something serious, he has the ability to quell it. It's much better than in the capital, where there are plenty of powerful figures. What are extreme warrior-level experts compared to that?
The two had essentially reached an agreement. In any case, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate. With their combined strength, they might not be able to make the deal happen, but they could certainly act as a go-between. Moreover, they could provide assistance during the transaction. So, their combined strength was sufficient. Liu Ning was very satisfied after receiving Ma Qiang's call. He hadn't expected Ma Qiang to make such rapid progress. By the time he arrived in the Central Base City, some things would be resolved properly. After all, this was a cornerstone on his path to becoming a magician, and he had to take it seriously.
