Chapter 907
(Unedited)
…
Outside the gates of the Tower of Phoenix, a few people are standing while waiting for someone. In front of them are two High Mages wearing an awkward expression while standing on guard. The two dare not make a move or say anything for fear of offending the man beside the Mayor and the Viscount.
Who in the city did not know who this person is?
The man who took down the most powerful mage tower in the city in two strikes, the man who defeated a Gran Magus and even crippled him, and the man who brought many miraculous things in Central Town making it prosper and grow.
They are already aware of the man's status. But ever since a week ago where he was not seen in the city, the boldness of the mages became apparent as they cause one trouble after another.
And since this man did not appear, they became bolder.
However, now that he suddenly appears, they dare not say or do anything rash. This is true especially after hearing his name.
The two guards actually greeted the group with hostility at first, they only because docile after hearing Shin Jiao's name.
Shin Jiao's group waited for a while until a large group of mages came running towards them. When the group saw Shin Jiao, Tong Liwen, the Mayor, and the Viscount, they all showed a hint of fear in their eyes. This is especially after they saw Shin Jiao and Tong Liwen.
"Why are you here?!" shouted Rick Orfang while glaring at Shin Jiao.
"We just come to talk…" the Mayor said with a polite smile on his face.
"Talk? Hah! If I'm not mistaken you are here to cause s trouble!" shouted an Arch Mage.
"Yeah, get out of here! We don't want you in our place! This is our sacred Phoenix Tower, those outsiders should leave!"
"If you want to cause trouble, we would not hold back and let you do as you please…"
The Arch Mages and the High Mages behind Rick Orfang shouted and protested.
But Shin Jiao and Tong Liwen just showed faint smiles on their faces.
"Hmm… your mage tower looks sturdy…" Shin Jiao suddenly said with a smile.
When the mages who are shouting and protesting heard this, they immediately froze. Their faces changed and showed a sense of foreboding in them.
How could they not know what this guy meaning is? They knew that he is threatening them and it seems that it really worked.
They saw what had happened to the Great White Tower of Dugal at that time. They saw how it easily crumbled after getting hit by those balls of fire. Every mage in the towers of the city saw it and they are filled with fear because of that.
"We are just here to talk… The mages are causing problems in the city. Either you stand down, or I blow your towers up. I don't want to talk too much. I just want peace in this place that I think is a good place to expand… So, you either pipe down or get blown… Your choice..." Shin Jiao said as he turns around and walks away.
The rest of the people were stunned. They did not know what to say?
The Mayor was dumbfounded.
The Viscount was dumbfounded.
Tong Liwen was dumbfounded.
Rick Orfang was dumbfounded.
The rest of the mages in the area were all dumbfounded.
Those words were too domineering. It's like a large slap on their faces that they could even feel even after the person left.
The rest of the people with Shin Jiao followed behind him while Tong Liwen looks at Rick Orfang. He shook his head and before turning around and leaving he said.
"I don't know what that person would do, but if I were you, I would not cross his path. This is just a reminder from an old friend…" Tong Liwen then turn around and followed.
Tong Liwen and Rick Orfang fought each other that time when Xin Xiaoyo decided to take on Shin Jiao's group. But there is no deep enmity between the two so he still holds respect towards Rick Orfang as a Grand Magus.
After the group left, the rest of the mages behind Rick Orfang suddenly became angry.
"Grand Magus Orfang, we should not stand down… We should fight back against them!" shouted on the Arch Mages.
When he heard this, his expression turned dark, and glared at that person. He then glared at the rest who wanted to say something.
Upon seeing this, everyone turned silent.
"Do you want our Tower of Phoenix to crumble like the Great White Tower of Dugal?" Rick Orfang shouted in anger.
He now knew that the man named Shin Jiao truly has the capability to threaten them. Although they got bolder because he was not present in the city for a week and has not made his move after everyone causes trouble. But it seems that everything is going to change now.
"We have no choice… We should compromise for the safety of our fellow mage who are members of our tower. I don't want the legacy of the Tower of Phoenix to fall just like what happened to the tower of Dugal."
"Master, the one in the capital will retaliate, right?" one of the Arch Mages suddenly said.
"That we do not know. But I hope they will not. Because if they do, then the whole city would be embroiled in battle, and that we don't want to happen." He said while looking at the tower behind him.
This event was spread throughout the whole city. The other mage towers in the city also became aware of the threat so they all realized what would happen if they continue to fight it out against the people from the city government and the Mystique Shop.
They knew that the person behind would not hesitate to trample on them or destroy their towers if they cause a ruckus in the city again.
And because of this hidden but present threat, the city became a bit peaceful and everyone heaves a sigh of relief after knowing the truth about this thing.
…
Another week has passed and the city has become peaceful once again except for the nobles.
Right at this moment, many are watching the TV premiere of the very first movie that was created in Central Town.
Although many have seen it in the theaters in Central town, yet many have no time to visit the town and would be seeing it for the first time on TV.
Shin Jiao was a bit surprised at the platform that the people have presented to him. The Fenglai Broadcasting Company has received a huge amount of money because they are the ones to first show it on TV. The money would be coming from advertis.e.m.e.nts that surprised Shin Jiao thoroughly. He never would have expected that people would be able to grasp this chance to do advertis.e.m.e.nts on a huge scale. The one who started this is the Xenlow Workshop. Xenlow Workshop is a merchant company that specializes in creating weapons, armors, and trinkets. They also provide simple enchantments but costs a huge price. However, their common customers are rich mercenaries and soldiers.
But their market is not that big yet as not many people actually know them.
It was around 6 pm when the movie started. Before it started an advertis.e.m.e.nt was shown on the TV screen of every house.
A tall young man wearing silver armor is being chased by a beast. Suddenly the beast attacks and a spark appear as its claw brushes through the armor.
The man showed a surprised expression on his face.
Then the commercial cut and showed the man defeating the beast.
'Xenlow Workshop, quality armors, and swords can save your life on the brink of death…'
The tagline was clear and catchy and it made the people show amazement in their eyes.
Then after that, the movie started.
The Roar of the Dragon has been a hit ever since it was first played in Central Town, its popularity has been spread throughout the town and its surrounding villages and had caused a huge sensation.
And now that it is going to be shown on TV everyone is excited about it.
Main Arjing City became boisterous once again upon seeing the first-ever movie and the first-ever TV advertis.e.m.e.nt.
Many merchants began to think of their own way to advertise and this has once again caused a sensation.
In the middle of it all, the person who started this thing, Shin Jiao is calmly looking at a letter which was sent to him by a courier.
He slightly frowns upon seeing the letter.
