Chapter Summary
Not to mention that they had been wronged this time, even if they had wronged others in the past, the Mage's Guild would never have handed them over. We don't have any real evidence anyway, so this way we can save face." This was the first time Liu Ning had spoken to the people of the Mage Guild. Even if the Mage Guild doesn't say anything, these people can still get out on their own." After hearing Lin Lei's words, Liu Ning felt relieved.
This was simply impossible. They all thought they had encountered a fake mage. How could a real mage order them to step forward? It must be sophistry. Not to mention that they had been wronged this time, even if they had wronged others in the past, the Mage's Guild would never have handed them over. What was wrong with Linley today? Booth and the others felt puzzled, but they dared not disobey the order.
The highest authority in the Mage Guild is the Mage Council, which consists of only five people: five mages shared by all of humanity.
The Mage Guild was established because of these mages, so they hold supreme power. No matter what position you hold in the Mage Guild, or what strength you possess, you must unconditionally obey any order given by the committee. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the guild, and if you act too aggressively, you might even lose your life. Don't think this is a joke.
The final result was that the Northern Military Region took them away. However, Lin Lei was not worried that these people were being wronged, because these people were not simple. To reach their current level, they had many friends in society. In addition, the Mage's Guild would not act recklessly, and their families were incredibly powerful in the Western world. Even if the Northern Military Region wanted to deal with them, they would have to see if they had solid evidence. If they did not have solid evidence, then this matter would basically be impossible to succeed. Don't think that these people are fools.
Although the Northern Military Region had won, Wolf Commander's face remained furrowed. The Habs family was no ordinary family; they had many high-ranking officers in the army. If the situation was handled unfairly, Wolf Commander himself would likely lose face. Not to mention other places, there were five or six general-level experts in the Northern Military Region alone, and even a war god-level expert, who was also his capable subordinate. If he wronged a member of the Habs family, the matter would be difficult to resolve. No wonder Linley stopped a conflict; he had essentially passed the buck to Wolf Commander, leaving him with everything, including the potentially offensive tasks. So, this matter required his wife's help.
As for Zhao Wudi, he's even more slippery. That guy is like an eel; he definitely won't get involved in this matter. Since your Northern Military Region has already stepped in, then our Human Council will take a back seat. Zhao Wudi said before that if you want me to investigate, that's perfectly fine, but I definitely won't be very thorough. If I offend anyone, I'll choose to back down. After all, this matter doesn't have much to do with me or the Human Council. We're just showing some face. You're the ones who really want to investigate. We'll see what you think then. If you also want to save face, then leaving it to me is perfectly fine.
Does Wolf Commander care about saving face? Of course not. Old Commander is a psychic, and the relationship between a psychic and his apprentice is very close. If he doesn't take revenge now, outsiders will wonder what Old Commander is really like. Is he just meddling all the time and useless when it really matters? If that's the case, even if new psychic emerges in the future, they will never choose to partner with Wolf Commander, because he's just bluffing. So Wolf Commander has to investigate these people. He needs to set up an opponent for himself, and it has to be a very strong one. Ordinary people are simply not good enough for him, and they won't satisfy the public's desire for a good show. This reputation has to be spread, so everyone knows that becoming Wolf Commander's apprentice guarantees safety.
Liu Ning had a different thought at this moment. Logically speaking, they were all members of the Mage Guild. You handed them over so ruthlessly. After returning to the Mage Guild, this matter would probably cause a stir. Although they were all magic followers, their families were not to be trifled with. They were important partners of the Mage Guild. If they were to collectively cause trouble, the neighbors would probably be in deep trouble.
"Isn't your approach too simplistic? You know they have a lot of powerful figures behind them. If these people collectively cause you trouble, I don't think you'll get away with anything. Should we say a few words to Wang Shuai and ask him to just do a cursory inspection? We don't have any real evidence anyway, so this way we can save face."
This was the first time Liu Ning had spoken to the people of the Mage Guild. In Liu Ning's impression, the people of the Mage Guild were all arrogant and domineering, and there was no need to show them any leniency; they had to be severely punished. But this matter was completely different. This time, they were simply taking the blame for us. They knew better than anyone else who killed Shangguan Bao. These people hadn't caused any trouble; they were just quietly standing by. Now that we know they've been wronged, are we still just standing by and watching the show? This doesn't fit Liu Ning's way of doing things.
"Of course I understand what I'm doing, but you also need to understand one thing: Wolf Commander is already here. He can't do this without a reason. If it ends up like the old case, it'll be like an unsolved mystery, and the investigation here will continue. I can't guarantee that it won't expose us. So I need to give them a target. Don't think these guys are easy targets. Even if they're taken away by the Northern Military Region, as long as there's no direct evidence that they did it, the Northern Military Region can't do anything to them. They all have their own backers. Even if the Mage Guild doesn't say anything, these people can still get out on their own."
After hearing Lin Lei's words, Liu Ning felt relieved. Even if they were to frame someone, they had to find someone with strong abilities. This would only be a false alarm for them. If it were someone weak, they might lose their lives this time.
