Mu Ningxue and Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ were standing there watching the show on the mountain. Mu Ningxue was familiar with Mo Fan’s personality, so she did not bother disturbing him from finding some entertainment when he could handle everything himself.
The Enforcement Union came pretty quickly, with Li Dong in charge.
Li Dong was leading a few interns they had recruited from a few renowned schools. They were all Advanced Mages, but they lacked experience.
The young Enforcers were observing their surroundings cautiously. It was strange how the mercenaries were turning themselves in. They were all prepared for battle in case it was a trap!
“Look over there, you two, come with me, hurry up and find…” Li Dong pointed at the Enforcers like a proper leader.
“Hey, it’s the Opportunist!” Mo Fan yelled when he saw Li Dong.
Li Dong turned around and saw the last person he wanted to see at the mine. He immediately lost his proud demeanor. He had to force a stiff smile which Mo Fan would not be offended by onto his face.
“Brother Mo, why are you here?” Li Dong asked as he walked up to Mo Fan. The Enforcers were shocked when they saw how quickly his expression changed.
“See them? They are from the Battle Beast Mercenary Group, who I’ve now educated. Take them away and send them to the toughest mine in the west of our country for a dozen years,” Mo Fan answered, pointing at the mercenaries.
“Ed…educated…” Li Dong twisted his lips.
You f**king left such a huge hole on the man’s chest and almost killed him! The Enforcement Union was determined to arrest the mercenaries alive, but Mo Fan had almost executed their leader on the spot!
“Yes, we have learned a lot from him. We are seriously reflecting on the misdeeds we have done. We hope the Enforcement Union can give us a chance to repent,” the bulky man agreed quickly, seeing Mo Fan looking at him.
The mercenaries were struggling to stand properly. They wished the people of the Enforcement Union could have arrived sooner and saved them from Mo Fan’s experiments!
Mo Fan was feeling a little bored, so he showed off a few extraordinary spells and asked the mercenaries to provide him with some feedback.
Even though Mo Fan was only using the Earth Element, his Heaven Seed was several times stronger than a Soul Seed. He could easily crush them with an Intermediate Spell, let alone an Advanced Spell!
If they were sent to the west for reformation, they still had a chance to return to society after a dozen years. However, if they were hit by his Earth Magic, they would be crippled for the rest of their lives, even if they survived. It would be far worse than being arrested!
The Enforcers nervously arrested the mercenaries. One of them who took his job quite seriously asked, “We can’t prove them guilty if we don’t have evidence.”
“It’s fine, they wrote down their confessions while I was demonstrating my spells. They should be enough,” Mo Fan told him.
“Yeah, we have the confessions. Please arrest us as soon as possible!” the man with blue hair added hastily. He seriously did not want to be a cripple for the rest of his life. Their leader was already a lost cause. It was unlikely he would be sent to the west to repent!
“Take them away,” Li Dong waved his hand. He had roughly guessed what had actually happened here and said, “It’s rare to see you patrolling the mountains. You did us a huge favor.”
“It’s nothing. Send my regards to the people of the Dali Clan,” Mo Fan told him.
“Ugh… I will…” Li Dong’s face was so stiff that he felt like it was about to fall off.
——————-
Li Dong left with the enforcers. The Enforcers used the remaining Green-Skinned Beasts to transport the prisoners.
It was the first time that the Enforcers had been a.s.signed to such a simple job. One of them could not help but ask, “Vice Chief, is that guy a close relative of your Dali Clan? Why did he let you take all the merits?”
“Nonsense, a close relative? Do you have any idea who he is? The G.o.d of plague, bearer of ill luck, and the worst malignant tumor of Feiniao Headquarters City!” Li Dong cursed. He still remembered how Mo Fan had gone to the Dali Clan and stirred up a lot of trouble for no reason. Nothing good had ever happened when Mo Fan was around. Li Dong just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible!
—
The people of the mine had yet to recover from the shock, even after the mercenaries were gone.
Who exactly was this young man? Why did he seem to be close with the authorities of the Enforcement Union? Ugh, they were not even close; the person from the Enforcement Union was nodding his head and bowing at the young man, acting like a subordinate. It seemed like the young man was his boss instead!
“Mister, I…I was right. I knew from my past experience that you were no ordinary person. It’s the reason I didn’t bury you when they were forcing me!” the foreman came over. Somehow, he felt like he was a lot shorter now…
“You can stand when you talk. Why the h.e.l.l are you on your knees? I won’t be fussed with you since you did show some conscience. Your mine here isn’t legal. I’m afraid you will have to pay a fine. After all, Fanxue Mountain is mine…” Mo Fan said.
“Ugh, my legs are a little weak, so I will have to kneel for a while. How about this? We’ll give you a year’s profit…” the foreman said.
“I didn’t come to ask you for a protection fee. Just pay the fine. If you can’t afford to hire a Mage to be your guard, you may request it from Fanxue Mountain. I believe we have someone available,” Mo Fan said.
“Thank you so much!” The foreman was overjoyed.
“Mo Fan, I’m afraid we’ll have to take over the mine,” Mu Ningxue and Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ were already there.
“Huh? Xuexue, is that appropriate? Are we doing them dirty?” Mo Fan had to ask.
“…” Mu Ningxue seriously had no idea where Mo Fan came up with the term. The mine was in Fanxue Mountain’s territory. It was their private land. How was it dirty?
“They need our permission to operate a mine here. I just gave Mu Linsheng a call. He told me this mine was supposedly used to extract yellow soil, but they never mentioned the silver ore. The yellow soil is only a decoy. There are silver ore at the bottom!” Mu Ningxue pointed at the truck that had been knocked over by a Green-Skinned Beast.
