Strange Worlds-Chapter 219: Undercurrent

It was so tiring to deal with these patriarchs.

None of these patriarchs were willing to back down and they were all pressuring the Fourth Head of the Wansu City to do something and to compensate them. The compensation is a must and the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was prepared to bleed but some of their requests were too excessive and it was impossible for him to agree.

So it took a long time for the Fourth Head of the Wansu City to finish the discussion.

*sigh*

Knock! Knock!

Hearing this knock, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City looked wary, but he still said, "Come in."

The door opened and a man in a mask walked in. Only his eyes were visible but the Fourth Head of the Wansu City could still see the blames in the man’s eyes.

"Elder Vorkham, what do you want?" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City asked tiredly.

"How can you agree with their request?" Elder Vorkham questioned. He felt that these patriarchs were asking too much and their entire city’s resources would be taken by them. This made Elder Vorkham very dissatisfied with this matter.

"How else do you think they’re willing to put this matter down?" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City asked back.

He knew how greedy these patriarchs were, so the Fourth Head of the Wansu City had to make sure to satisfy a certain part of their appetite. Wansu City would indeed bleed because of this, but it was still within the range that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City could bear.

"But..."

"I’m more concerned about how this matter leaked out," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City said slowly. "As the elder in charge of investigation and interrogation, you should be able to find the culprit, right Elder Vorkham?"

Elder Vorkham, who wanted to complain more, paused when he heard the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s cold tone. Looking at his old teammates’ eyes, Elder Vorkham snorted and turned around. "I know, I’ll arrange it."

"Good." the Fourth Head of the Wansu City rubbed his forehead.

He was really tired right now and right now, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was by no means young. He had been staying in this position for so many years and the Fourth Head of the Wansu City had seen many things.

This also included various conflicts that happened in Wansu City over the years. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

And the Fourth Head of the Wansu City knew that he himself had made a lot of troubles. Even if he wished that he could lead Wansu City well, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City knew that it wouldn’t be that easy.

Because there were many people who would not let him do that.

Moreover, for him to be the one in power, these four big families were the biggest obstacle and had always caused troubles for him.

They kept on interfering with his decision if it touched their family’s interest.

It was annoying.

"You’re too soft hearted." Elder Vorkham snorted when he saw the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s condition. If he was the one who became the head of the city, he would make sure these people couldn’t do anything against him.

Hearing this, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City raised his head and sneered. "Can you beat them?"

Elder Vorkham was silent.

The four big families were very powerful. If it was not because of many policies that were implemented in Wansu City, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was sure that he would have long been kicked out of this position.

These people were already dissatisfied with him.

But the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t want to let go of this position, so he had been working hard over the years to keep this position.

Seeing his old friend’s posture, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City snorted and waved his hand. "Go now and don’t disturb me."

"Wait, I’m here for the latest investigation for the rank 7 magic warrior’s matter."

Hearing this, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City stopped his plan on kicking Elder Vorkham out. "Did you manage to find out her or his identity?"

While they somewhat believed the White Family Patriarch’s words, they would not jump into conclusion easily and still let the gender of the rank 7 magic warrior as an open question. In this way, they would not jump into conclusion so easily.

"No, but there are reports that there are some movements in the deep forest. According to the investigation, only people who have reached rank 7 could possibly be there," Elder Vorkham reported and then handed the report in his hand to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

The deep forest has always been the area where not many people dared to go and for someone to go on rampantly there, they could conclude that it should be the rank 7 magic warrior.

But even if they knew, what can they do?

Stop that person?

Hehehe, before they could reach the rank 7 magic warrior, they might have been stopped by the magic beasts around the area first.

These people were not stupid.

When the Fourth Head of the Wansu City heard this, he also frowned.

"Leave it be for now," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City finally said. Even if they could guess that this rank 7 magic warrior was likely to be in the deep forest, they couldn’t really do anything to her or him.

But if this rank 7 magic warrior was away...

"Try to investigate and see if there are any missing magic warriors recently..." the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was about to give this order when he remembered that this rank 7 magic warrior was also very good at formation.

It was not impossible for her or him to move from one place to another so quickly.

But the distance between Wansu City and the deep forest should be outside the range of a teleportation formation, right?
