Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 148 - Purple Moonlight Newspaper and Advertisements
Chapter 148 -148 Purple Moonlight Newspaper and s
On the lawn outside the villa, the complexions of Tang Qi and his two companions were not good.
Tang Qi’s pallor was due to the use of “Judgement,” which had consumed a great deal of spiritual power, while Stanna and the Chief were affected by their recent ordeal.
Both had encountered the Extraordinary Domain more than once.
The Chief had last witnessed and participated in the Spider Demon incident at Messer University. As for Stanna, she was almost half-stepping into this domain; though still technically a normal person, with the Red Rhino and Molten Furnace Bullets, even ordinary Transcendents were no match for her.

In fact, Stanna had already killed a considerable number of monsters.
Unfortunately, today’s encounter was different.
Ronald was a Professional Level being, a servant of an Evil God, a twisted Undying.
Stanna only had time to fire one shot before being dispatched by a casual wave of force.
Had Tang Qi not moved them before the combat, they would probably have become part of the “Flesh Tree” by now.
The most critical part was, this was far from over.
“Extraordinary War!”
The same thought emerged in the minds of both individuals, recalling Tang Qi’s earlier conclusion.
Messer City was brewing a war, a conflict between the old and new Extraordinary Forces.
On one side were the First Family which had long been entrenched in Messer, along with at least a dozen old noble families.
On the other, even more inconceivable, was Mayor Gary Ross, deeply beloved by the citizens.
If they hadn’t personally been involved, they would never have believed such a thing.
The main combatants in the war were likely to be the Transcendents from the old families and Mayor Ross’s Hastu Club.
Tang Qi was gradually informing the Chief of how terrifying the latter was.
Unknown Evil Gods!
Masked Men!
Dark Factories!
Pollution Pools!
…
Tang Qi had originally intended to inform the Ancient Castle Bureau of these things at an opportune time, but such a moment had not yet presented itself.
Even now, Tang Qi still did not wish to expose himself, maintaining the facade of a “Wild Artifact Forger” and Police Station Consultant—a perfect superficial identity which, if someone were to plot against him, would cause them to miscalculate his real power.
The spectacle then, would certainly be worth watching.
Now, by having the Chief inform the Ancient Castle Bureau of everything Tang Qi knew in an official capacity, bypassing Mayor Ross, Tang Qi’s goal was easily achieved.
As for the source of this information?
Quite simple, it was told to him by Ronald before he went out of control, there being no proof after death anyway.
The only regret was probably not being able to know the name of that unknown Evil God.
Ronald certainly knew; before he lost control, he mentioned that the Kerry family was annihilated by the club because he made a “small mistake.”
Tang Qi speculated that this mistake was most likely Ronald rashly using an ancestral relic to obtain the Evil God’s name in some unknown manner.
Without any doubt, this was akin to courting death.
And the outcome fulfilled Ronald’s fate; not only did he perish, but the Kerry family’s legacy of over a hundred years also came to an end.
Incidentally, it also brought an immense, hidden threat to Messer City.
Although the war had not yet erupted, both the Chief and Stanna could tell what was going to happen next; it was entirely out of control.
The Mellon Family would surely take retaliatory action.
As the leader of an old family, the total annihilation of the core members of the Kerry family, if the First Family does not seek revenge, Mellon’s prestige will suffer a massive blow.
Once Mellon starts retaliating, that Hastu Club…
“The position of the president of the Steel Association, who is Ronald Kerry’s biggest rival?”
Tang Qi seemed to remember something and suddenly said.
Hearing that, the chief’s expression immediately changed, Tang Qi didn’t even need to speak the rest.
With that one reminder, anyone who wasn’t a fool could guess who the Mellon Family would take revenge on.
She stood up immediately and rushed back to the police station.
She had decided to follow Tang Qi’s method, using her network to bypass Mayor Ross and seek help from the Ancient Castle Bureau in an official capacity, because mere talk would hardly convince the resource-strapped Ancient Castle Bureau to send help.
But with the information provided by Tang Qi, everything would be different.
Unless the Ancient Castle Bureau wanted one of Secret Phoenix State’s calling cards, Messer City, to become a hellish place in the aftermath of a war between two Extraordinary Forces.
By then, Secret Phoenix State might gain enormous fame across the entire world, only that fame would definitely not be what the official Secret Phoenix State wanted.
As for Messer City’s own strength, could it simultaneously oppose the Transcendents of the Mellon Family and the Hastu Club?
If they had weapons like those from his previous life that could intimidate the world, or similar firearms, not only would it be possible, they could also make those two forces shudder.
Unfortunately, this world did not have such things.
…
Tang Qi didn’t follow the two back to the police station but instead returned to the campus.
Neither said anything, clearly seeing Tang Qi’s exhausted state.
However, upon returning to the small building, Tang Qi didn’t immediately enter a Meditation State to recover his depleted spiritual power.
Instead, he stood in the small living room, pondered for a moment, then, rubbing his brow, walked to the telephone, reached out to dial, and after the other end of the receiver was picked up, Tang Qi directly said some rather strange contents.
Then, he heard from the other end: “Alright, sir, your request has been confirmed. You will find the content in the relevant section of the Purple Moonlight Newspaper tomorrow. I wish you a pleasant life.”
A very formulaic response, as the other party was a customer service representative.
Tang Qi hummed indifferently and hung up the receiver.
He had just placed an advertisement in the Purple Moonlight Newspaper, a low-end paper that was popular for its enthusiasm for mysterious and peculiar stories.
A headless and very strange advertisement.
If it were any other newspaper, such an advertisement might have attracted attention.
But with the Purple Moonlight Newspaper, that kind of “neurotic information” is almost what you get when you open the paper.
The purpose of Tang Qi’s paid advertisement was to notify McGraw that his next task had arrived.
In that headless advertisement, there were hidden pieces of information such as addresses and names. McGraw needed to follow these details to find the whereabouts of Ralph’s son, the Mad Wizard. It was a task that wasn’t simple but not too difficult either.
For the current McGraw and his few subordinates, it should just about be the right challenge.
It also happened to be a good time to keep them out of the potentially brewing storm in Messer City.
In fact, Tang Qi’s original plan was to wait a few days and let McGraw prepare.
But after Ronald’s incident, Tang Qi directly sent him off.
McGraw was Tang Qi’s only subordinate at the moment, and due to the “Ancient Mongolian” Secret Medicine, Tang Qi did not have to worry about his loyalty. If he was unlucky enough to be affected by the fallout of the battle between the two Extraordinary Forces, it would definitely be a significant loss for Tang Qi.
As for Tang Qi himself, after hanging up the phone.
He went straight to the bedroom on the second floor and, before entering the Meditation State, he secured all his combat support Curios such as Blood Python One, Heige’s Resentment, and Human Skin Ointment.
However, there was one thing he did not put into the safe.
The Fresh Red Heart!
When Tang Qi sat down cross-legged, he was holding in one hand that heart, as red as a ruby, temptingly lustrous, and extremely red.
