I Am A Scarecrow And The Demon Lord Of Terror!

Chapter 16 - The True Boss Of The Mage Association

Ring, ring, ring...

Ring, ring, ring...

In an empty room, the phone on the table had been ringing for more than ten times before the caller finally hung up.

On the other side, in the office.

"No, no one's picking up the phone at that address."

A man in pajamas put the phone in his hand down. He had a serious expression when he looked at the two police officers beside him.

His cell phone and landline could not be reached.

This seemed to confirm that what happened in the YouTube video was true.

The fat driver had been working in their company for ten years. Although he had a lot of bad habits, it was not to the extent that he deserved to die.

He did not expect to encounter such a thing.

One of the policemen beside him had a serious expression on his face as well.

At that moment, the video on YouTube had already garnered over 10,000,000 views.

This level of dissemination had already caused widespread panic around the world.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at his colleague who was on a call with a YouTube staff.

"What? You can't delete it? Why not?!"

"..."

"What kind of joke is this? Special permission? I've never f*cking heard of it!"

"..."

"I don't care about that. I'm telling you, you need to find a way to delete this video. Otherwise, you'll be facing a lawsuit!"

This last sentence was yelled out with a loud voice.

The colleague stared at him as he hung up the phone.

"What kind of joke is this? The person from YouTube actually said that the video has some special permission and it can't be deleted!"

Special permission?

The policeman who was communicating with the person-in-charge of the taxi company was slightly stunned.

Then, his cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. His expression changed. He picked up the call.

"Chief, we're currently at the taxi company..."

Before he could finish speaking, the chief's voice rang from the other end of the call.

"Alright, you guys can come back. You don't have to worry about this case anymore."

"What?" The police officer was slightly taken aback.

He no longer had to worry about this vile case?

Could it be that there was a huge monster behind the scenes that was obstructing them?

"The higher-ups have sent people over to investigate this case. You guys can come back."

"The higher-ups have sent people over? What exactly is going on?"

Normally, the local department would handle the local cases first.

It had only been two hours since the incident, but the higher-ups had already sent someone over. That was obviously not normal.

"Alright, don't ask too much about this. It won't be good for you to know too much."

After saying that, the chief hung up the phone.

At that moment, the chief was looking at his phone with a serious expression, deep in thought.

As the chief, it was natural that he would know things that ordinary people did not.

Things about the mystical side.

In just a few days, the Mage Association had already been alarmed twice.

This was obviously not normal.

The chief could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Although he knew some things, he was just an ordinary person in the end.

He was completely unable to interfere in matters pertaining to the mystical side.

It made him feel as if he had no control over his own body, and even his own life.

In the end, the chief could only lie in his chair, dejected as he lit up a cigarette.

"I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."

...

Durham, Mage Association.

There were many people gathered in Casey's office.

Lucius was slamming his fist on the table angrily at Casey who was still in his pajamas.

"My brother's dead and it's all your fault!

"Other than drinking and f*cking secretaries, what else can you do, you fat pig?!"

After hearing that, many of those present subconsciously glanced at the secretary who was on the bed, hiding beneath the blanket.

They were all familiar with Casey's style.

But they really did not imagine that this bast*rd would put a bed in his office just to make things more convenient.

They were obviously unwilling to allow such a person to become their leader.

"Listen, I never sent Lucas to deal with this matter. All of this was done on his own initiative!

"Let me tell you, there wasn't even a single cent of compensation for the sacrifice this time. On the contrary, I'm still being held accountable!" Casey said coldly as he lit the cigar in his hand with a nonchalant expression.

When he said this, the office was in an uproar.

What the f*ck did this person say?

Lucas was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He reasoned, "If you didn't ignore my report, why wasn't there enough manpower for this operation? How could something happen to my brother?

"You actually dare to say such words in front of me? Do you really think I won't make a move against you?"

When he heard this, Casey's fat body trembled slightly. The cigar in his hand fell to the ground.

The already lit cigar fell on the expensive carpet and instantly burned a hole in it.

"Lucius, I'm warning you, don't spout nonsense!

"I think it's completely unnecessary to increase the manpower just for a strange new birth. It would greatly increase the expenditure of the Association.

"I won't allow such waste to happen!"

Although everyone was holding onto Lucius to prevent him from acting impulsively, everyone's faces were filled with dissatisfaction.

Waste?

'Don't you do that often?'

Expensive carpets, expensive cigars, expensive wine.

Everything in Casey's office was the most expensive.

Yet, such a person actually became their leader.

On top of that, he was shamelessly boasting that he would not allow them to be wasteful.

That was simply the most ironic thing in the world.

Seeing that Lucius was being held back by others, Casey was relieved once again.

He knew that he was safe.

No one dared to touch him.

After regaining his arrogant composure, Casey bent down to pick up the cigar and put it out in the ashtray.

A bunch of trash with their heads beneath their belts dared to cause trouble in his office. What a joke.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you guys can go back. I'm going to rest."

Casey moved his fat body and walked slowly to the bed in his office.

He did not seem to care about Lucas's death at all.

Looking at this scene, Lucius could not hold it in much longer.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

This time, the people who were holding onto him let go.

Everyone could no longer stand it!

The terrified expression returned to Casey's face.

Just as he subconsciously raised his hand in front of him to block the attack, the office door swung open.

"Stop!"

A crisp female voice came from outside the office. Lucius, who was about to kill Casey, suddenly stopped.

The others also turned their heads and looked outside the door.

"It's Rei, Rei's back!"

Everyone's tone was filled with excitement and joy.

It seemed as if anything could be resolved once this woman had returned.

Lucius turned his head and looked at the woman with a face full of grief.

"Rei, you're finally back. My brother... My brother, he's dead."

Rei looked at Lucius's face, then at the terrified Casey. She said in a deep voice, "I already know about this matter. I've announced that the scarecrow's danger level has been raised to D rank. Deal with it immediately."

After saying that, she was about to turn around to leave.

Casey, who was behind her, shouted angrily, "Rei, you don't have the authority to do this!"

However, the woman did not take him seriously at all. She just walked away.

As for the rest of the people, they did not even bother with Casey.

'Do you really think she doesn't have the authority just because she isn't authorized to do so?'

She was the true boss of the Mage Association.

Nikorei!
