Chapter 41

“Thank Your Whole Family”Inside the dimly lit Recycling Station palace.

Slap!

A crisp sound of a slap echoed simultaneously as chaos disappeared.

Lin Wu Ju, surprised, touched his face and coldly turned his head, “What do you mean?”

Slap!

Wen Han didn’t hesitate to deliver another slap, “Was it you who plotted against me?”

Her tongue ran around her teeth, Lin Wu Ju smiled slightly and calmly said, “Your plan had issues, so I wanted to help you.”

Slap!

Wen Han slapped him again. “Who asked for your help?”

“I am your superior,” Lin Wu Ju frowned, “Do you not think three slaps are excessive?”

Slap!

Wen Han slapped again, but this time, her hand went straight through Lin Wu Ju’s body as if he had become transparent.

“You can’t hit me.” Lin Wu Ju smiled faintly, “It’s magic, I’ll teach you later.”

Wen Han clenched her teeth and fists tightly.

But she also realized that without magic, she wasn’t even a match for him.

“You don’t have to be so angry, I like your confidence.” Lin Wu Ju’s figure flickered, suddenly sitting on the armchair, “You’ve already decided to complete the task, haven’t you? I didn’t force you, I helped you. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

“Hmph.”

Wen Han coldly smiled and nodded slightly.

“You’re not wrong, but I don’t like others interfering with my matters.”

“But I like you too much.” Lin Wu Ju grinned, “And since you’ve already decided to join the Recycling Station… how could I not help?”

“Then should I thank your whole family?”

“Not necessary.” Lin Wu Ju leaned against his seat, “They’re all dead, so you can only thank me.”

“Is that so?” Wen Han snorted, “You’re the one who lost your entire family?”

“Yes.”

The Recycling Station suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Compared to Su Zeheng, Lin Wu Ju was no less skilled verbally.

And now that Wen Han knew the truth, she also realized this guy was much more terrifying and powerful than she had thought, easily manipulating her.

“I’ll settle this with you bit by bit.” She finally said after a moment.

Lin Wu Ju smiled faintly, “If you want revenge, you shouldn’t say that out loud, but secretly collaborate with the Light Magic Society to kill me.”

“Too basic.” Wen Han walked to the table, separated by a desk with him, “This girl will openly tell you again, as long as I find the opportunity… I will always kill you! Right in front of your face!”

“Very good.” Lin Wu Ju smiled even brighter, “I appreciate you more and more. If you really can kill me and reach the realm where friend and foe cannot be distinguished, then you will become the unprecedented Supreme Black Witch!”

“Is that so? Then you wait. One day, you will die in my hands.”

Both stared at each other, exchanging mocking smiles.

“Alright, let’s get back on topic.” Rising from the armchair, Lin Wu Ju stood with folded hands, “Currently, the Light Magic Society already knows you’re a member of the Recycling Station. But don’t worry, you haven’t violated any rules of the magic world, so they can’t directly arrest or harm you.”

Wen Han sat on the table and removed her sunglasses, “I don’t want to hear that.”

She quickly calmed down.

She was originally prepared to accomplish the mission anyway, so Lin Wu Ju’s actions couldn’t be considered coercion.

Of course, Wen Han still felt irritated and would certainly avenge this.

However, the facts had already been settled.

Qin Long was dead, Lin Xiaomei was captured, and she had completed the onboarding process, also exposing herself to the Light Magic Society.

Joining the Recycling Station side, Wen Han felt no aversion or fear, nor joy or happiness, just as calm as her current mood.

“One million,” she wiped her sunglasses, “And a book of magic.”

“One million?” Lin Wu Ju’s eyebrows furrowed, “We agreed, one soul for twenty thousand.”

“Now I want two million.” Wen Han raised her head coldly, “This is compensation for my mental distress and your interference.”

“…” Lin Wu Ju nodded after a while, “I appreciate your greed and coldness. This was indeed my fault, I’ll give you two million, but it won’t happen again.”

“Three million.”

Lin Wu Ju narrowed his eyes, “You’re truly insatiable!”

“Didn’t you say you like me like this?” Wen Han grinned, “Ten million!”

“Two million.”

“…” Wen Han rolled her eyes, “Alright, consider it a favor you owe me. Money.”

“Soon, two million will be added to your bank account.” Lin Wu Ju smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, this money is legitimate and won’t cause any trouble.”

“Rubbish, if you guys can’t even do that, how can you be villains?” Wen Han looked perplexed.

Lin Wu Ju suddenly moved closer, “You guys… now shouldn’t you use words like us or each other?”

“Sorry, I’m me, a unique firework.”

“Then I might be water, because water mixes with fire.”

“Water? A man like water is too soft~”

“But water might become solid after mixing with fire.”

The two exchanged barbs, staring at each other.

After a moment, Wen Han’s lips curved faintly, “Where’s my magic book?”

“Follow me.” Lin Wu Ju turned around.

…

At the Star River City’s abandoned construction site.

“Old Su?”

The police quickly cordoned off the scene.

On the ground, Qin Long’s body was covered with a white cloth, and Lin Xiaomei had already been arrested and put in the police car.

The scene was desolate. Su Zeheng, who was dumbfounded for a long while, regained his awareness after hearing his companion’s voice.

“…Old Bai.”

The long-haired man Old Bai patted his shoulder, “Thinking about something?”

“…” Su Zeheng remained silent, looked up again, and glanced at the scene.

Wen Han…

She had clearly promised me… she really…?

Until now, he couldn’t believe it.

Wen Han had clearly promised to consider carefully, also showing a benevolent side.

But why…?

If he hadn’t witnessed her figure in the last second before Wen Han left, Su Zeheng wouldn’t have believed at all.

He really couldn’t associate Wen Han with what he was seeing now.

Because there was only one result.

“She… deceived me.” He muttered to himself.

“Huh?” A flat-headed man approached, “Who deceived you, Old Su?”

Su Zeheng was silent for a moment and suddenly looked up, “Old Bai, Fat Bro, Old Chen.”

“Hmm?” The three companions of the Light Magic Society looked up, puzzled by his somewhat baffling behavior today, “What’s up? Heartbroken?”

Heartbroken?

For some reason, Su Zeheng realized his inner feelings were indeed a little hurt.

It felt almost like a breakup.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head, “This time, let me handle the Black Mage entirely.”

…

“Here is the Shadow Library of the Recycling Station.”

Following Lin Wu Ju, Wen Han suddenly discovered the surrounding darkness instantly changed, and she found herself standing inside a massive library.

The library was brightly lit, with candles flickering on the walls, and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in an elegant style.

At a glance, she saw that the library was endless, with shelves stacked endlessly, with no visible boundaries.

“How many magic books are in here?” She curiously asked.

Lin Wu Ju shook his head, “Even I don’t know how many books the Shadow Library has. However…”
