Necromancer, But Before the Collapse of Civilization Chapter 38

Whispering softly, Moros waved away the general manager who was being manipulated by magical power.

Two hours and forty-five minutes later.

The mayor of Fuyuan City was suddenly shocked by the news that Mr. Edward, the magnate who controlled the city's media empire, and his entire family had been attacked by unidentified enemies.

According to preliminary reports, the family's stronghold had been completely destroyed, and the scene was horrific.

As of now, no survivors have been found by rescue personnel.

"Any suspects?"

Clutching the report in his hand, the mayor of Fuyuan City asked his secretary in a trembling voice.

The secretary, with a solemn expression, handed over another report and said in a low voice.

"Your Honor, we suspect it's him."

The mayor took the report, his eyes scanning the words, and a nameless fear welled up in his heart.

Every word in the report felt like a cold blade, piercing his heart.

[Based on the on-site survey results, this attack bears a striking resemblance to the tragedy that occurred two years ago...]

[Furthermore, according to some unconfirmed eyewitnesses, they saw creatures resembling dragons circling in the sky during the attack...]

The mayor took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

He knew that this incident would have a profound impact on the entire Fuyuan City.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the public telephone on his desk suddenly rang.

The mayor quickly composed himself and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Your Honor."

The voice of the director of the Fuyuan City Industry and Commerce Bureau came from the other end of the line, his tone laced with a hint of nervousness.

"We've received several applications requesting the urgent transfer of shares in XX Entertainment Company..."

Listening to the director's report, the mayor's expression instantly turned grave.

Chapter 62: A Gift for Eden

Fuyuan City's importance on the Mu Continent was akin to New York's status in the United States of America.

Having been promoted to the position of mayor of Fuyuan City, this mayor's intelligence was naturally beyond doubt.

Without the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau needing to say more, the mayor of Fuyuan City tightly linked this extremely abrupt share transfer with the downfall of the Edward family.

Then, a new question presented itself to the mayor of Fuyuan City.

Should he intervene in this clearly problematic share transfer on behalf of the Mu Continent's official authorities?

If the investigation report on the downfall of the Edward family had not pointed towards Moros, the mayor of Fuyuan City would have undoubtedly intervened without hesitation.

However, the current situation was that Moros's shadow was suspected to be behind the incident.

This made the mayor of Fuyuan City's decision exceptionally difficult.

He had to carefully consider whether his intervention might provoke Moros's retaliation and the potential consequences of such retaliation for Fuyuan City, or even the Mu Continent.

For a high-ranking official like the mayor of Fuyuan City, Moros's existence and his actions were already an open secret.

Facing such a terrorist who openly defied the laws of the Mu Continent, daring not only to mobilize armies to besiege cities but also to engage in fierce confrontations with the regular army of the Mu Continent, any senior official who understood the situation would feel deeply apprehensive.

The fate of the Councillor and the downfall of his family were not only vivid demonstrations of Moros's frenzied actions but also a stern warning to all those who knew.

These high-ranking officials all had families and careers; they knew all too well that once they became targets of Moros's retaliation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No one wanted to follow in the Councillor's footsteps!

Therefore, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, the mayor of Fuyuan City issued instructions to the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau to stand by and not interfere.

Fuyuan City's interests belonged to the Mu Continent, but his life was his own. The mayor did not want to play a game of "annihilating nine generations."

Having received the mayor's approval, the director of the Fuyuan City Industry and Commerce Bureau naturally knew what to do.

Under the director's guidance, the clerks at the Industry and Commerce Bureau displayed a high level of work efficiency and professionalism.

As the new day dawned and the sun slowly rose from the horizon, Fuyuan City's largest entertainment company, XX Entertainment Company, underwent a major change in shareholding.

The Edward family, once renowned in this urban cluster centered around Fuyuan City, lost control of the company, replaced by a previously unknown artist – Eden.

Through magical communication via the Spectre Jar, Eden received Moros's invitation to meet.

Trusting her friend, Eden accepted Moros's invitation without much hesitation.

When the two finally met face-to-face, Moros cut straight to the chase without any unnecessary preamble.

"Eden, the problem has been solved."

As he spoke, he gently pushed several documents across the table. These documents were the share transfer agreements for XX Entertainment Company.

"How about that? Didn't I tell you it would be fine to leave it to me?"

Moros, with a confident and triumphant smile, leaned forward slightly, hands clasped across his chest, his gaze fixed intently on Eden.

He was eager to see how the beautiful and gentle girl would react to these stock transfer agreements.

The terms in the documents were intricate, each detail meticulously planned and arranged.

And the official seal representing the Mu Continent's approval caused Eden to feel a jolt of surprise.

She froze, a complex mix of emotions surging through her.

Although she had known Moros was no ordinary person, Eden had never imagined that the problems she faced would be resolved in such a manner.

"Moros, I'm truly grateful for your help."

Eden's voice trembled slightly as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.

"But I don't understand... why is this?"

As a rising artist in XX Entertainment Company, Eden understood the immense value represented by this stock transfer agreement.

This clearly surpassed what one would give a friend.

She was well aware of her own beauty and, facing the young man before her, worried that this sudden, generous gift hid a weight she couldn't bear.

Seeing Eden's reaction, a flicker of satisfaction crossed Moros's eyes.

He knew he had made a profound impression on her.

It would be impossible to say Moros had no feelings for Eden.

However, Moros had no intention of revealing his hand just yet.

Confession wasn't a gamble; it was merely a ritual to confirm a relationship.

Without certainty, Moros wouldn't risk disrupting their subtle connection.

Doing so could easily cost him their friendship.

Thus, Moros slowly sat back in his chair, hands still clasped across his chest, watching Eden with a smile.

"Eden, your confusion is understandable."

He spoke gently, his voice carrying a soothing power.

This wasn't merely the effect of simple words; it was the result of him employing the Rank 1 Light Magic, Divine Strength.

At this moment, Divine Strength wasn't an amplification spell for attack power but transformed into a force that calmed the spirit and encouraged the heart, dispelling Eden's worries.

Under Moros's soothing influence, Eden's emotions gradually settled.

Seeing this, Moros continued.

"My friend, you might find this stock transfer agreement incredibly valuable, but please believe me, with your talent and potential, such gifts will soon become commonplace."

Moros paused, seemingly searching for the right words, then continued.

"I assure you, there is no malice or trap behind this stock transfer. I'm doing this because I firmly believe you possess talent and charm beyond the ordinary, and this stock will be a stepping stone for you to reach a grander stage."

Moros's words were filled with trust in Eden, and his eyes sparkled.

He wasn't lying; Moros knew that with the full support of XX Entertainment Company, Eden's artistic path would be much broader and smoother.

However, he hadn't revealed all his plans and intentions.

Moros believed that after this, he would have a place in Eden's heart.

Even as years passed and time flew by, Eden wouldn't forget everything that happened today.

Feeling the genuine emotion in Moros's words, a warmth flowed through Eden's heart.

"Moros, I..."

Eden tried to speak, but Moros gently interrupted her.

"No need to say more, we're friends, aren't we?"

Moros said with a smile, his eyes conveying an indescribable tenderness and protectiveness.

In this moment, Eden felt an unprecedented sense of security and reliance.

She knew that no matter what challenges and difficulties she faced in the future, she would have someone to lean on.

"Thank you."

Looking earnestly into Moros's eyes, Eden's own eyes shimmered with grateful tears.

To protect Eden and allow her to pursue her artistic dreams without distraction, Moros decided to personally handle things and engage in some in-depth discussions with the city's power brokers.

As Moros expected, the invitation from Fuyuan City's authorities arrived the day after he checked into his hotel.

Moros graciously accepted the joint invitation from Fuyuan City's power brokers.

"Alright, let's go then."

While Moros's cooperation exceeded their expectations, the officials who came to invite him had been thoroughly briefed by their superiors and dared not overstep their bounds.

Escorted by a dedicated car and police escort arranged by the Fuyuan City government, Moros arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Fuyuan City.

This seemingly ordinary manor was one of the meeting places for the Mayor of Fuyuan City and the patriarchs of the families who held real power over the surrounding city clusters.

Here, various factions gathered to discuss the future direction of the city.

The fact that they could invite Moros here already spoke volumes.

This was a summit held specifically for Moros's arrival.

Therefore, the moment he stepped into the manor, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

The people gathered in the manor's main hall cast their gazes upon him, clearly filled with curiosity about the notorious Necromancer.

"Greetings, Lord Moros. It is a great honor to have invited you to this meeting."

The Mayor of Fuyuan City, with a broad smile, quickly walked towards Moros, expressing a warm welcome and high respect.

His voice was loud and firm, as if showcasing his important status in the city to Moros.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor. I am very pleased to receive such a grand reception from you."

Courtesy begets courtesy. Since the power brokers of Fuyuan City had shown him sufficient respect, Moros naturally wouldn't hold back on his own politeness and demeanor.

The Mayor of Fuyuan City was slightly surprised by Moros's proper conduct, but he immediately broke into an even brighter smile than Moros's and said enthusiastically.

"You are too kind. Your arrival has undoubtedly brought endless brilliance to our city."

In fact, before Moros's arrival, the Mayor of Fuyuan City had been filled with worry.
