Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Whispering softly, Moros waved away the general manager who was being manipulated by magical power.

　Two hours and forty-five minutes later.

　The mayor of Fuyuan City suddenly received shocking news: Mr. Edward, the tycoon who controls the city's media empire, and his entire family have been attacked by unidentified enemies.

　According to preliminary reports, the family's residence has been completely destroyed, and the scene is horrific.

　As of now, rescuers have not found any survivors.

　Are there any suspected targets?

　Clutching the report tightly in his hand, the mayor of Fuyuan City asked his secretary in a trembling voice.

　The secretary, with a grave expression, handed over another report and said in a low voice.

　"Your Excellency, we suspect it's that person."

　The mayor took the report, his eyes scanning the words on it, and a nameless fear welled up in his heart.

　Every word in the report felt like a cold blade, piercing his heart.

　The on-site investigation reveals striking similarities between this attack and the tragedy that occurred two years ago…

　[Furthermore, according to some unconfirmed eyewitnesses, they saw a creature resembling a dragon hovering in the air when the attack occurred...]

　The mayor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

　He knew that this incident would have a profound impact on the entire city of Fuyuan.

　Just as he was lost in thought, the public phone on his desk suddenly rang.

　The mayor quickly composed himself and picked up the phone.

　"Hey?"

　"Mr. Mayor."

　The voice of the director of the Fuyuan City Administration for Industry and Commerce came from the other end of the phone, his tone revealing a hint of nervousness.

　"We have received several applications, all requesting the urgent transfer of shares in XX Entertainment Company..."

　Upon hearing the bureau chief's report, the mayor's expression instantly turned serious.

Chapter 62 A Gift for Eden

　Fuyuan City holds a position of importance in the Mu Continent that is comparable to that of New York in the United States of America.

　The fact that this mayor was able to be promoted to the position of mayor of Fuyuan City means that his intelligence is beyond question.

　Without the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau needing to say anything more, the mayor of Fuyuan City closely linked this extremely abrupt equity transfer with the downfall of the Edward family.

　Then, a new problem was presented to the mayor of Fuyuan City.

　Should he represent the official Mu Continent government in this clearly problematic equity transfer?

　If the investigation report on the destruction of the Edward family did not point to Morlos, the mayor of Fuyuan City would certainly have intervened without hesitation.

　However, the current situation suggests that Moros may be behind the incident.

　This made the decision-making process for the mayor of Fuyuan City extremely difficult.

　He had to carefully consider whether his intervention would provoke Moros's retaliation, and what the consequences such retaliation might have on Fuyuan City, or even the Mu Continent.

　For a high-ranking official like the mayor of Fuyuan City, the existence of Moros and his actions were already an open secret.

　Faced with terrorists who openly defy the laws of the Mu Continent, who not only dare to launch large-scale sieges of cities but have also engaged in fierce battles with the regular army of the Mu Continent, any high-ranking official who is aware of the situation would feel a deep sense of dread.

　The congressman's fate and the downfall of his family not only vividly demonstrate Morales's madness but also serve as a somber warning to all those in the know.

　These high-ranking officials all have families and businesses, and they know all too well that if they become the target of Moros's revenge, the consequences will be unimaginable.

　Nobody wants to follow in the footsteps of the congressman!

　Therefore, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, the mayor of Fuyuan City issued an order to the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau to remain silent.

　Observe the situation and do not issue any instructions to interfere.

　The interests of Fuyuan City belong to Mu Continent, but their lives belong to themselves. The mayor doesn't want to play a game of "Nine Clans Elimination".

　Having received instructions from the mayor, the director of the Fuyuan City Administration for Industry and Commerce naturally knew what to do.

　Under the guidance of the director, the staff of the Industry and Commerce Bureau demonstrated extremely high work efficiency and professional competence.

　As dawn broke and the sun slowly rose above the horizon, XX Entertainment Company, the largest entertainment company in Fuyuan City, underwent a major change in its shareholding structure.

　The once-renowned Edward family, which was prominent in this urban cluster centered on Fuyuan City, lost control of the company, and was replaced by a previously unknown artist—Eden.

　Through the magical communication of the [Wraith Jar], Eden received Moros's invitation to meet.

　Trusting his friend, Eden accepted Moros's invitation without much hesitation.

　When the two were actually face to face, Moros didn't waste any opening remarks and went straight to the core issue.

　"Eden, the problem has been solved."

　As he spoke, he gently pushed several documents across the table; these documents were the equity transfer agreement for XX Entertainment Company.

　"See? I told you I could handle it."

　With a confident and smug smile, Moros leaned slightly forward, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stared intently at Eden.

　He was eager to know how this beautiful and gentle young woman would react to these share transfer documents.

　The terms and conditions on the document are intricate and complex, with every detail meticulously planned and arranged.

　The seal that represented the official recognition of the Mu Continent surprised Eden even more.

　She was stunned, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

　Although she had long known that Moros was no ordinary person, Eden never imagined that her problem would be solved in this way.

　"Moros, I am truly grateful for your help."

　Eden's voice trembled slightly as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with doubt and unease.

　"But I don't understand... why is that?"

　As a moderately well-known artist at XX Entertainment Company, Eden was well aware of the value represented by this equity transfer agreement.

　This clearly goes beyond the level of a normal gift between friends.

　She was well aware of her own beauty, and when she looked at the young man before her, she worried that behind this unexpected and generous gift lay a weight she could not bear.

　Seeing Eden's reaction, a glint of satisfaction flashed in Moros's eyes.

　He knew that he had already made a very deep impression on Eden's heart.

　It would be impossible to say that Moros had no interest in Eden at all.

　However, Moros has no intention of revealing his hand now.

　Confessing your love isn't gambling; it's simply a ritual to solidify your relationship.

　Moros wouldn't expose the subtle relationship between the two without being certain.

　It's easy to lose even your friends.

　So Moros slowly sat back in his chair, his hands still folded in front of his chest, and smiled as he looked at Eden.

　"Eden, your doubts are normal."

　Speaking gently, Moros's voice carried a soothing quality.

　This was certainly not an effect that could be achieved with simple words, but rather the result of his use of first-level light magic, Divine Strength.

　At this moment, [Extraordinary Divine Power] was no longer an amplification spell used to increase attack power, but rather transformed into a force that soothed the spirit and inspired people, dispelling Eden's concerns.

　With Morros's reassurance, Eden's emotions gradually calmed down.

　Seeing this, Moros continued.

　“My friend, you may find this equity transfer document incredibly valuable, but believe me, with your talent and potential, such gifts will soon become commonplace.”

　Moros paused, as if searching for the right words, and then continued.

　“I assure you that there is no malice or trap behind this equity transfer. I am doing this because I firmly believe that you have extraordinary talent and charisma, and this equity will be a springboard for you to reach a bigger stage.”

　Moros's words were filled with trust in Eden, and his eyes gleamed.

　He wasn't lying. Moros knew that with the full support of XX Entertainment, Eden's artistic path would be broader and smoother.

　However, he did not reveal all of his plans and intentions.

　Moros believed that after this incident, Eden would have a place for him in his heart.

　Even as time goes by and years pass, Eden will never forget what happened today.

　Feeling the genuine emotion in Moros's words, Eden felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

　"Moros, I..."

　Eden tried to say something, but was gently interrupted by Moros.

　"There's no need to say anything more, we're friends."

　Moros said with a smile, his eyes revealing an indescribable tenderness and protectiveness.

　At that moment, Eden felt an unprecedented sense of security and reliance.

　She knew that no matter what challenges and difficulties she faced in the future, she would have someone to rely on.

　"Thank you."

　Eden gazed intently into Moros's eyes, tears of gratitude welling in his own.

Chapter 63 The Power Holders of Fuyuan City

　After handing the equity transfer document to Eden, Moros did not immediately disappear into the demiplane as usual.

　On the contrary, he checked into the presidential suite of a renowned luxury hotel in Fuyuan City in an extremely high-profile manner.

　Moros's move was not reckless, but rather the result of careful consideration.

　He was well aware that once the news of Eden becoming a major shareholder of XX Entertainment Company was released, it would inevitably attract a lot of attention and criticism.

　After the Edward family fell, countless eyes were fixed on the vast estate left behind by the Edward family, attempting to seize it for themselves.

　In order to protect Eden and allow her to pursue her artistic dreams without distraction, Maurois decides to personally engage in in-depth exchanges with the city's leaders.

　As expected, on the second day after he checked into the hotel, he received a meeting invitation from the leaders of Fuyuan City.

　Moros readily accepted the joint invitation from the powerful figures in Fuyuan City.

　"Well, let's go then."

　Although Moros's level of cooperation exceeded the expectations of the officials who came to invite him, the bureaucrats, who had been warned by their superiors before coming, dared not meddle in matters that were not their business.

　Escorted by special cars and police vehicles arranged by the Fuyuan Municipal Government, Moros arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Fuyuan City.

　This seemingly ordinary manor is one of the venues where the mayor of Fuyuan City and the heads of families who control the surrounding urban clusters hold meetings.

　Here, various forces gather to discuss the future direction of this city.

　The fact that they were able to bring Moros here already says a lot.

　This was a meeting held specifically for Moros's arrival.

　Therefore, from the moment he stepped into the manor, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

　The people gathered in the main hall of the manor all stared at him, clearly filled with curiosity about the infamous necromancer.

　"Hello, Mr. Moros, it is a great honor to have you at this meeting."

　The mayor of Fuyuan City, with a broad smile, quickly approached Moros, expressing his warm welcome and high respect.

　His voice was loud and firm, as if demonstrating to Moros his important position in the city.

　"Hello, Mr. Mayor, it is a pleasure to receive such a grand reception from you."

　Since the powerful figures in Fuyuan City had shown him sufficient respect, Moros naturally wouldn't be stingy with his politeness and manners.

　The mayor of Fuyuan City was slightly surprised by Moros's proper behavior, but he immediately broke into an even brighter smile than Moros and said enthusiastically.

　"You're too kind. Your arrival has undoubtedly added endless luster to our city."

　In fact, before Moros arrived, the mayor of Fuyuan City was indeed filled with worries.
