Chapter 232: Kicking the Zu Family Out
The destructive power was as direct as could be. It was clear that Mo Fan's fire and lightning power had exceeded the defense range set by the organizers. The venue had turned directly into a deep pit, and the barrier was in tatters. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the Venice mages to protect them, the spectators closest to the arena might have been affected!
He was clearly only a twenty-something student, yet he possessed such destructive power!
After everyone was shocked by Mo Fan's destruction, what remained was excitement and exhilaration!
"Oh oh oh oh~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!"
After a moment of silence, the arena suddenly exploded as if a bomb had gone off. The cheers and applause shook the entire city of Venice and were broadcast from Venice to countless countries worldwide!
In the face of demon creatures, humans were often weak, often fleeing, and often hunted like livestock raised in captivity. Was not the spiritual pillar that allowed people to survive unyieldingly in this World precisely these young mages, brimming with destructive power?
No matter how strong the demon creatures' physiques were, could they withstand such destructive magic?!
All the cheers and applause fell upon the lightning-fire destroyer in the arena. This controlled ferocity earned him the worship and respect of many mages.
"."
Because they had entered the winner's bracket, which meant their country had advanced another step towards the top ranks!
Shao Zheng, in the Great Summer VIP section, was also smiling at this moment, and the other council members' faces were also full of smiles. Such a victory was far more satisfying and heartfelt than winning a political contest!
Strength!
This was the strength belonging to their own country, nothing else!
The praise in the arena was endless, and in the Great Summer broadcast hall, a bombshell news item from President Han Ji's commentary exploded across the entire nation.
The victory over Germany had already swept like an infectious tide from the north of Great Summer all the way to the South Sea. And the words President Han Ji publicly announced stirred up even greater waves, completely electrifying the entire nation!!!
"Considering that this person, who made immense contributions during the Ancient Capital disaster, is too young, our Bell Tower Magic Association has been reluctant to make it public. But gratitude is gratitude. Even if the World changes drastically, even if the Ancient Capital had truly been annihilated in that crisis, we, the people of Ancient Capital, would never forget.
Everyone, please look at this young man who just used his power to defeat the powerful nation of Germany. It was he who saved our Ancient Capital during that cold autumn. It was he who jumped into the Sha Abyss without hesitation, bringing life to millions of people in our Ancient Capital!!" President Han Ji's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity and emotion.
Including Pang Lai, many people probably wouldn't understand why President Han Ji cared so much about Mo Fan, or why he was so relentless and aggressive when Zu Huiyin, the Speaker's secretary, spoke those words. It was because the entire Ancient Capital owed this young man a debt of gratitude that could never be repaid with anything!
If it weren't for Mo Fan, the Ancient Capital might have been directly swallowed by the Sha Abyss!
But precisely because of Mo Fan, the Sha Abyss did not engulf it, and the Ancient Capital's losses were reduced to the absolute minimum.
If the news of victory was already a surging tide, then the revelation of this Ancient Capital benefactor transformed into a towering wave, impacting the hearts of countless people.
The one who saved the Ancient Capital was not an extraordinary mage, but actually a student, a young military officer, and both of them came from the earlier Bo City disaster, surviving magic high school students at that time…
It must be said that President Han Ji chose an excellent timing, making it so that even those with a questioning attitude had no right to question!!!
Soon after they came down, Mo Fan saw Zu Huiyin approaching with a grim expression.
"I am truly sorry. My nephew speaks rather harshly, and I neglected to supervise him, accidentally misjudging and unfairly criticizing you. It is indeed my oversight and dereliction of duty as the Speaker's secretary, so I specifically brought my nephew to express our apologies to you, hoping you won't take it to heart." Zu Huiyin's words were quite soft, a complete change from her previous arrogant old woman demeanor!
"I am a person with ill intentions, to put it plainly, what you call a petty person. And a petty person, of course, holds grudges about many things. I will definitely take this matter of yours to heart." Mo Fan, however, showed no intention of giving the other party a chance.
Zu Huiyin's face turned as black as charcoal when she heard Mo Fan's words!
This guy really was a petty person, completely gloating.
Mo Fan gave no face at all, which left Zu Huiyin completely unable to back down.
As soon as President Han Ji announced the Ancient Capital matter, Zu Huiyin was stunned!
The matter of Zu Huiyin, the Speaker's secretary, making ill-intentioned comments about Mo Fan had already spread. Since the domestic topic was focused on the World Academy Competition, such matters were immediately published by the media.
However, who knew that Mo Fan was actually the benefactor of the Ancient Capital??
Zu Huiyin, who had been bowing continuously and not even daring to look at Mo Fan's shoes, was now filled with regret. Why did she speak up for that fool Zu Jiming? This foolish nephew always had small cleverness but no foresight at all.
At this moment, she hated him to death!!!
"Speaker, about this matter… it's actually just a misunderstanding." Zu Huiyin was almost in tears. In just an hour, such a drastic impact had occurred. Zu Huiyin couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
"As the Speaker's secretary, you should be responsible for your own words. Since Mo Fan does not accept your apology, I hope you can calm this resentment yourself." Shao Zheng said calmly.
Shao Zheng had actually guessed this outcome, but the wave of condemnation sweeping through the public really startled Shao Zheng. It was possible that if he, a great council member, said one negative word about Mo Fan, these people would clamor for him to step down.
Sometimes, public opinion is indeed very important.
This is also why many people, despite being clearly ambitious and cunning, still pretend to be good people.
And after that, Zu Jiming was, without any surprise, kicked out of the National Government Team. That boy, Oriental Lie, was lucky enough to take his place.
Of course, for Oriental Lie to become a member of the National Government Team at this time, he truly owed it to Mo Fan for kicking out Zu Jiming.
He certainly knew that Mo Fan wasn't helping him, but he also knew even more clearly that Mo Fan had indirectly helped him!
Even if he didn't play, as long as he became a member of the National Government Team, his fame and everything else would be infinitely more dazzling than that of a National Pavilion member.
Mo Fan didn't care about these things. Anyway, he simply disliked Zu Jiming and his aunt.
Coincidentally, they insisted on seeking trouble themselves, so Mo Fan couldn't be blamed for kicking them out. For them, Mo Fan had absolutely no need to be polite!
