Chapter 116 Funding!
"Has the person been properly dealt with?"
"Song Family Manor," Wang Ce asked with a serious expression.
"It's been thoroughly cleaned up!" the old man replied. "I guarantee that divination and similar methods won't be able to detect it!"
"Very good!" Wang Ce breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "You personally supervise the relevant personnel to erase their memories. I'll go report!"
After saying that, Wang Ce jogged back to the villa's living room.
Before even entering the room, I could hear a heated argument going on inside.
"I told you not to provoke the Holy Church, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on testing us!"
"The family must provide an explanation for this!"
"Don't panic. The Holy Church and the Demon Hunter Association are after the Guo family, not us!"
"Who knows if they might follow the clues and find us?"
"Wang Ce has already taken care of it, everything will be fine!"
"This whole thing was pushed by that brat Wang Ce... I told you not to let outsiders get involved in family affairs, and you see!"
Hearing the discussions among the people in the hall, Wang Ce felt disdain and walked in with a serious expression.
Upon seeing Wang Ce enter, the people in the hall acted as if they hadn't seen him and continued arguing.
咣 咣 咣!
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table tapped the ground with his cane, which quieted everyone down.
"How is it?"
"It's all cleaned up, Uncle!" Wang Ce said obediently.
"good!"
Nodding, the middle-aged man didn't give the others in the hall a chance to continue arguing and said directly, "The impact of this matter has been somewhat beyond our expectations."
To prevent the matter from leaking out, all those who know the truth must sign a blood pact scroll.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man fumbled with the ring on his hand, and two scrolls of magical artifacts appeared in his hand.
"Everyone in your clan and under your command, whether they knew about it or not, whoever was involved in this must all sign!"
The middle-aged man handed one scroll to Wang Ce, then spread the other scroll out on the table and said to everyone, "Let's begin!"
Wang Ce was the first to step forward, pricked his finger with a lancet, and wrote his name on the scroll.
The moment his hand left the scroll, a beam of red light entered Wang Ce's body from the scroll.
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the others.
Seeing this, whether they wanted to or not.
The others had no choice but to step forward one by one, prick their fingers, and write their names on the scroll.
On the other side, Zhao Guang and a tall man who was over two meters tall walked out of the Guo family manor together.
This tall man was none other than Wang Jingyao, the president of the Twilight Valley City Demon Hunter Association and a diamond-level demon hunter.
"Judging from the situation, that laboratory probably doesn't belong to the Guo family," Zhao Guang said, frowning.
"Who cares? It's more than enough to make an example of someone," Wang Jingyao said with a nonchalant laugh. "You owe me a favor this time!"
"Bullshit!" Zhao Guang, utterly lacking any semblance of clergymanship, cursed directly, "I'm just helping you get rid of these worms; you're the one who owes me a favor!"
'
"..." Wang Jingyao said speechlessly, "Is that guy named Shen Mo really that important to you?"
"I don't know," Zhao Guang shook his head and said, "The Lord gave no hints, but the Pope is paying close attention to him."
Wang Jingyao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, no need, don't interfere with his actions," Zhao Guang said three times in a row.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingyao did not ask any further questions.
Noticing his phone vibrating, he took it out and glanced at it before coldly saying to Zhaoguang, "The clues have gone cold, and even the diviner can't figure it out."
"These guys are quick on their feet!"
"After all, it has been entrenched in this Dusk Valley City for hundreds of years."
"What's the next step?"
"Let's leave it at that for now. Making too big of a move could easily backfire. Let's just investigate discreetly."
The two of them walked and talked.
Until they left the Twilight Zone, one went west and the other east, and they parted ways.
"Sponsorship?"
Looking at the intelligent, elegant, beautiful, and poised Mei Gui before him, Shen Mo asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because you have great potential," Mei Gui said earnestly. "I have high hopes for your future."
"Didn't you say last time you wanted to sponsor our demon hunter team?"
"The Demon Hunters are the Demon Hunters, and you are you. Our individual sponsorship of you does not conflict with that."
"How exactly does the funding work?" Shen Mo asked curiously. "What will I receive, and what will I have to give in return?"
"I'm a top-tier magic armorer... I should be able to advance to master level soon!"
Seeing Shen Mo's interest, Mei Gui smiled slightly and said, "From now on, I can personally craft your magic armor, giving you priority, and you won't need to pay a single penny."
In addition, I can provide you with ten million Alliance Coins annually.
If you have other needs, such as looking up certain information or buying potions, I can do my best to help you...
Upon hearing the conditions for the funding proposed by Mei Gui.
Su Fei tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart, knowing that her young lady was spending a lot of money to win over Shen Mo.
But on the surface, she maintained a polite smile.
"Why does it feel like they're rushing to hand over money?" Shen Mo had a strange feeling in his heart.
But before Mei Gui could finish speaking...
"In addition, I will also give you a residence in Shangping."
You can arrange for your parents to cultivate a piece of farmland in the Hetian area.
And help your younger brother with his schooling...
Don't be surprised, I genuinely wanted to help you, which is why I investigated you.
We were even warned while investigating this information!
Hearing Mei Gui say this, Shen Mo's discomfort at being investigated dissipated considerably.
Moreover, he vaguely guessed why she was so enthusiastic.
Perhaps she did have the idea of sponsoring me, but the treatment certainly wouldn't have been this good at the beginning!
"As for obligations..." Mei Gui pondered for a moment, "I don't ask you to do anything, but when I need your help, please consider whether to lend a hand."
"Is it that simple?" Shen Mo asked in surprise.
"It's that simple!" Mei Gui nodded seriously. "We can sign a contract... or if you're comfortable with that, we can sign a roll."
Shen Mo thought about it and felt that he had no reason to refuse the funding.
The residence in Shangping and the ten million Alliance coins are just minor matters.
What Shen Mo truly cared about was priority access to free custom-made magic equipment, and He Tian's farmland.
The former means he will no longer have to worry about magical equipment.
The latter relieved him of worries about his family's well-being, and even solved his younger brother's academic problems.
The farmland in Hetian not only solved the employment problem for his family members, but also allowed him to accumulate wealth quickly.
Farmland in Twilight Valley is incredibly valuable; the grains, vegetables, and fruits grown there are only affordable for the wealthy residents of the Twilight District.
"I agree!" Shen Mo nodded in acceptance of the donation.
Upon hearing this, Mei Gui smiled radiantly and extended her hand to Shen Mo, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Shen Mo reached out and shook his hand, feeling its smooth, cool texture, as if he were holding a piece of mutton fat jade.
"Now, let's talk about the custom-made magic armor!" Standing up, Mei Gui gestured to Shen Mo, "Let's go to the fifth floor!"
