The Mayor's Call, New Ailidou Settled (cont.)

"Hey! This isn't the time to sleep!"

"Both of you, get up!"

Ling got a little angry at this point and immediately pulled up the blankets covering the two of them.

"Why don't you try it, Ling? It feels really comfortable."

"Ailian said somewhat lazily."

"Of course I know! I also want to go to sleep now! But Lycan is still waiting downstairs!"

Ling is now completely overwhelmed with headaches.

What was originally one salted fish has now become two! So Ailian, did you just come up here specifically to sleep?!

"What exactly are those two doing up there?"

Hearing the commotion above, Lycan's expression grew increasingly strange.

Ten minutes later, Ailian and Ling, both with two bumps on their heads, were carried downstairs by Mo Wang, who looked very unhappy.

Looking at the two girls being carried by Mo Wang, if Lycan hadn't been so good at controlling his expression, he probably would have already lost his composure.

"Let's get to the point, Lycan, what exactly did you come here to see me about?"

"Let's make it clear first, please come back later if you have any requests. I just haven't been feeling motivated to do anything lately."

Mo Wang looked quite displeased as he faced Lycan.

"Ahem, we apologize for bothering you at this time, but the reason we are here is that our master wants to have a talk with you."

Lycan coughed lightly twice, then explained to Mo Wang.

"Huh? Lycan, do you have an owner?"

Bell, who had been dead, suddenly raised her head and looked at Lycan.

"No, to be precise, they are the owners of our Victoria Housekeeping."

Lycan quickly explained.

"Victoria Housekeeping, so it actually has an owner?"

Ling and Mo Wang exchanged a glance. They had always thought that Victoria Housekeeping was just a simple mercenary group.

For some reason, when Mo Wang asked that question, the expressions of Ailian and Lycan instantly froze.

"Putting aside whether we ever said we actually had an owner, what image did Victoria Housekeeping have in your minds before?"

Lycan couldn't hold back any longer.

Mo Wang: A mercenary group that always fights for justice?

Bell: Is it an illegal organization full of child laborers?

Mo Wang: A group of eccentric people?

Bell: Some people who seem to have a lot of free time usually?

Listening to what the two were saying, even Ailian couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

So this is how these two people perceive them?

"Ahem, in short, who exactly is your master?"

Ling looked at the two of them rather awkwardly.

"Yes, our master is the head of the Meflower Family, and also the mayor of this city."

"Oh, it's the mayor... Wait, the mayor?!"

When Ling heard the name that Lycan said, an exaggerated expression immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this news, Mo Wang simply said something indifferent.

"Hey, brother! That's the mayor! Mayor Mayfrau! Aren't you surprised at all?"

Seeing her brother's expression, which resembled that of a rotten salted fish, Ling was furious.

"So, after knowing all that information, are you still surprised by the mayor's situation?"

Mo Wang glanced at his younger sister with a strange expression.

"That, that is..."

"It seems that you, Lord Mo Wang, are not surprised by this matter."

Lycan glanced at Mo Wang's expression, and experience told him that Mo Wang truly didn't care about this matter.

"Yes, after learning that there were several TOPS in that organization, I didn't find it so surprising anymore. It's only natural that the mayor would get involved."

As is well known, the New Ailidou was established by the Meflower Family and a group of companies known as TOPS.

If Mayor Mevlau is the king of this city, then the TOPS are its nobles.

When Mo Wang learned that there were TOPS members in that organization, he wasn't too surprised.

After all, it's obvious that to establish an organization in a place like New Ailidou, you need a powerful backer.

However, after learning about this, Mo Wang suddenly felt too much pressure and became completely indifferent.

It is well known that people tend to become lazy when they have a lot to do.

Similarly, this applies to Mo Wang as well.

After having to earn money to support his family, improve his reputation with those around him, and handle all sorts of commissions, he now has to fight against a group of unscrupulous capitalists who are completely unskilled in his field.

Mo Wang's first thought was, "Let's just Destruction this world as soon as possible."

"Ahem, in short, the mayor has been waiting for you all for quite some time. Please answer the mayor's call."

At this moment, Lycan took out a communicator and respectfully placed it in front of Mo Wang and Ling.

It's a pleasure to meet you two children of the Helios Agency. We've finally met.

As the communicator lit up, the mayor's voice came through the communication.

The rumored mayor, upon opening his mouth, revealed the brother and sister's most closely guarded secret.

According to the normal plot, Mo Wang and his sister should be in shock and disbelief at this moment.

But after the mayor finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room.

"Hmm... Lycan, can you hear me? Is the signal down?"

The mayor, who had not received a reply for a long time, hurriedly asked Lycan.

Why haven't either of the two siblings said a word after I've been waiting for so long?

"Hmm? Shouldn't you be the one to speak first in a situation like this?"

Mo Wang expressed his doubts about the mayor's words.

"Well, you really are a special child. Just as Carlos described you back then."

The mayor said with a smile, but there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

As mayor, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Hmm, so what? What do you want with us? It can't be that you're planning to use us for something now that you finally know we're the teacher's students, right?"

Mo Wang's attitude towards this sudden mayor was neither good nor bad.

Judging from the mayor's words, he must have known about the identities of Mo Wang and his sister for a long time.

However, the mayor had not made any statement regarding the two of them all this time. Instead, he came to visit them at this time, making it hard for Mo Wang not to believe that this guy had some purpose.

"Heh, no need to be so nervous."

"I came here for two reasons. First, I wanted to thank you for what you did for New Ailidou. Second, I wanted to help you resolve your health issues."

The mayor then addressed the brother and sister.

"Oh, is this a recognition they want to give us?"

"Unfortunately, that's not the case."

The mayor paused abruptly, "After all, this matter involves far too many people. We need to keep the matter of Bringer turning into Livestock Ghost a secret for the time being."

"Oh, then forget it. Just give us a few million Dini."

Mo Wang then said that he didn't care about any awards or recognition, as long as he received money.

"Ahem, I've already heard about what happened to you from Lycan."

"I really didn't expect that you two had already resolved the issue, even though I was originally planning to help you remove the restrictions that HDD placed on your bodies."

At this moment, the mayor sighed over the phone.

Previously, when he heard Lycan say that Mo Wang had taken care of the Livestock Ghost in the Security Bureau all by himself, he was somewhat skeptical.

After Lycan and the others showed him the video, it was clear that this was more than just killing Livestock Ghost; it was an instant kill.

"So, what exactly do you want from us?"

At this moment, Mo Wang suddenly began to feel annoyed. He started speaking rudely.

"At least I'm the mayor of New Ailidou, can't you be a little more polite?"

The mayor on the other end of the communication line said, somewhat speechlessly.

"Oh, dear mayor, is there anything else you want to say?"

Mo Wang that tone; it wasn't just polite, it was utterly insincere.

The mayor seemed to sense Mo Wang's impatience, so he began to speak.

"You two want to investigate your teacher, right? I can help you, so, do you need my cooperation?"

Ling listened from the side, feeling completely unable to get a word in edgewise.

I felt like every word my brother and the mayor said had a hidden meaning.

She could no longer keep up with their train of thought.

At this moment, Mo Wang slightly opened his mouth, "Cooperation? Sure, then, Mayor, how about giving us some financial assistance first? I don't need much, how about one hundred million?"

Mo Wang his mouth, and the people present were instantly speechless.

Why is this guy asking for money the moment he opens his mouth?

The mayor seemed speechless at Mo Wang Wang's blunt demand for money, and a suspicious silence came through the communicator. Bell was horrified to see Lycan's lips twitching, while Ailian buried her face in the sofa cushions, her shoulders shaking suspiciously.

"Brother, brother!"

Ling tugged at Mo Wang's sleeve and shrieked softly, "You're negotiating with the mayor! At least try to look serious!"

"I'm very serious."

Mo Wang tilted his head, looking innocent. "Isn't it only right to get paid for helping out? Besides, isn't the mayor's intention quite clear? Does he want us to deal with those bastards? This is going up against TOPS, so isn't it normal to ask for more operating funds?"

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the communicator. "Hahaha... Carlos was right, you really are an interesting child." The mayor's voice carried a hint of pleasure. "One hundred million is still a bit too much. How about fifty million Dini as initial operating funds?"

"Make a deal."

Mo Wang instantly snapped out of his slump, deftly extending his hand, "Cash or bank transfer?"

"Elder brother!"

Ling covered her face in despair, wanting to say that she didn't know this person at all.

Lycan finally couldn't help but rub his forehead. "Mr. Mo Wang, this makes the negotiation seem very..."

"Very efficient?"

Mo Wang picked up the conversation, casually pressing the bell that lunged at him to strangle him onto the sofa. "Look, the mayor needs thugs, and we need money and intelligence. It's a win-win situation. Why bother with all this fancy talk about 'for the city's future'?"

Ailian lifted her head from the cushion, her eyes sparkling. "I think he makes a lot of sense."

That's absolutely true.

The mayor chuckled, "I'll have Lycan convey the specific details. However..."

The voice on the communicator suddenly turned serious. "Be careful of the T0PS people lately, especially 'that La Signora '."
