Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 709: 226. Red Face, Black Face

Denise Green teleported back to the Stone House to rest.

Inside Selena’s study room, Noland Lee and Selena sat on the opposite sides of the desk, discussing matters.

“I’m impressed with how you handled Latifa’s soul,” Selena bent her arm on the tabletop, supporting her chin with the back of her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on Noland Lee:

“I thought you would revive Latifa and tell her the truth, convincing her to accept the fact that her Contractor was a scum. I really didn’t expect that you would choose to let Latifa leave at the best moment in her memory.”

Noland Lee took the teacup, blowing away the white steam on the water surface:

“Maybe it’s my determination and belief in challenging the Fagen family that made you think I am an idealist, paranoid, extreme, and as long as I think it is justice, I would execute it without hesitation, completely disregarding other people’s feelings.

“Actually, I’m not the kind of person who would mess around for the so-called justice, Selena.”

Noland Lee took a small sip of hot tea to moisturize his body after a tiring day. The fragrance of the tea flowed in his mouth and washed away the fatigue, making him feel more invigorated.

He put down the teacup and continued:

“My real thought is to make the evildoers pay and ensure that good people receive a good end. The first half of the sentence can be considered as restoring order to chaos, and the second half is my little selfishness. Because in many cases, what I consider a ‘good end’ may not be what the good people want. But I think, just on the issue of Latifa, letting her leave in peace at her best moment is an approach that you, I, Denise Green, and Latifa herself would approve. What do you think?”

Selena pondered for a moment and said:

“I… um, I agree with your approach. For Latifa, this should be the best ending. Although it’s not complete, it’s the happiest one.”

“Let’s put this matter behind us and not let it take up too much time. We still have important matters to deal with.” Noland Lee sat up straight, propping his arms on the armrests:

“The fact that Dickler Fegan colluded with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation and Demon Brain Land is real. In the Ulnas Circle, knowing the fact is not enough; we must have concrete evidence to apply for a Special Investigation Order from the Wizard Enforcement Department. But as you know, the laws of the Ulnas Circle are full of loopholes, and the extraordinary power of individuals and the secret contracts between them can always surpass the laws. If we follow the normal process, there is no chance that we can send Dickler Fegan to the Enforcement Department’s Prison Cell. Now I have a question, Selena.”

“Are you asking me how I plan to deal with Dickler Fegan?” Selena asked.

“No.” Noland Lee shook his head slightly:

“I’m asking if there have been any incidents of Wizard families colluding secretly with Ulnas Circle’s enemies in the Suman Archipelago before? If so, how did you handle it at the time?”

Selena sighed helplessly:

“Ah, Jarvis, this kind of situation happened countless times. You might think I’m a weak Deputy Principal, but the fact is that I can only ask for help from the Department of Magic and Wizard Enforcement Department when a crisis breaks out. Before the crisis erupts, even if I have some clues, I can’t start an investigation. Because these clues can be turned into unverifiable lies and deceptions under the influence of extraordinary power.”

“So, you’ve always played the role of a post-event handler, right? Because of the many loopholes in Ulnas Circle’s laws and the great individual power, you can’t intervene at the beginning and middle stages.” Noland Lee said.

“Right. It’s an unavoidable situation, Jarvis. Hotams and Pure Light Court, these two wizard forces that advocate order the most in the Ulnas Circle, once launched a motion on the Wizard Council to ‘strengthen the authority of magic judicial organizations’. If this motion gets passed, the special investigation power against Wizard families would be transferred from the Wizard Enforcement Department to the Deep Sea Branch, which combines research, learning, and judicial functions into one magic trial organization.”

Selena spread her hands and said:Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“But in the end, the motion was rejected, with 70% of the voters voting against it. The mainstream opposing view is that a regional magic trial organization could misuse the special investigation power against wizard families to gain unjust benefits. This would significantly expand the influence of Hotams and the Pure Light Court and squeeze the living space of other wizard forces. With the already large influence of Hotams and Pure Light Court, such a motion has little chance of passing.”

Noland Lee expressed no opinion on matters involving the council and motions.

He just needed to know that he had the power to “overturn the table”.

“I plan to make Dickler Fegan and his family secret guards disappear forever,” Noland Lee said calmly.

Selena shook her head slightly, trying to persuade him:

“Killing cannot solve the problem.

“I admit that your strength is enough for you to have such a plan. But if you eliminate Dickler Fegan and the family secret guard who killed the witness in front of us, it will only bring more powerful, more experienced, and more ferocious guys to come to the Suman Archipelago. We might as well keep Dickler Fegan, clip his wings, and limit his scope of activities. Only in this way can we control the conflict within our tolerance.”

Noland Lee looked at Selena’s beautiful face and suddenly smiled:
