The Mighty Mage
Chapter 125: Compensation?

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Compensation?

What they didn’t know was, the world was like this. No one is bad. Just because that person is a villain in your life doesn’t mean he is a villain in reality...

But does that matter?

Gu Jin shook her head. It doesn’t actually. If they had let go of the black-cloaked man, he would have tried to attack them again.

They didn’t have the luxury to choose between letting go or killing. That was what the law of the jungle was like.

After breakfast, everyone returned to their room.

Gu Jin didn’t waste her time and entered her space from morning till afternoon she remained in the space.

Then she changed her disguise and exited the space.

After roaming around for a while she found the lean man in the living room.

His entire aura was filled with gloom and his eyes seemed to have lost its luster.

Gu Jin quickly exited the lodge and after going through various shops, she bought some clothes, changed into them, and returned to the lodge.

She made her way to where the lean man was and coughed in a slight manly voice.

The lean man lifted his head with a blank expression, but when he saw a police officer in front of him, he was instantly agitated.

"Officer?" The lean man asked in an uncertain tone.

Gu Jin nodded her head and said,

"Your brother he was a very good person. He participated in the Ebon Shadow Elimination operation with us. Unfortunately, he died.

The government has given you some compensation and your brother had asked us to tell you something in case, he doesn’t return."

The lean man’s eyes moistened but his rationality was still there, so he asked with suspicion in his tone,

"Why would the government give me compensation?"

Each year many police officers die. But no compensation is provided to their family.

There was a reason for it though. Around 30 police officers die every single day. If the government starts to give compensation to each family, they would mostly go bankrupt in 4 years!

So how come the government gave him the compensation when his brother wasn’t even an official police officer?

Gu Jin paused before shaking her head,

"Just like your brother, you are smart too. Well, this isn’t the compensation, it is a reward. The operation which we conducted had many dangers, hence we offered a reward to whoever applied for it.

Your brother was one among them. Maybe he was in dire need of money because even when I told him that he might lose his life, he still insisted on joining. "

The lean man choked.

Gu Jin passed him a storage ring,

"He asked me to convey to you, that he loves you and wants to see you as a top mage, so don’t give up on your studies.

And he also told me to convey, that he wants you to live a good life, cremate him, visit him every month in case he dies. Don’t make your brother’s sacrifice go in vain by becoming depressed, become a powerful mage, and fulfill his and your dreams."

When Gu Jin finished her words, she felt a lump in her throat. The lean man on the other hand started to cry like a child when he heard Gu Jin’s words.

Gu Jin patted his back and turned to leave when her eyes met Tang Guan’s eyes. He looked at Gu Jin with a scrutinizing gaze.

Gu Jin didn’t bother to glance at Tang Guan and left. When she bypassed Tang Guan, Tang Guan’s eyes widened.

He suddenly recognized Gu Jin’s aura. One could change their appearance and even their way of speaking but they couldn’t change their aura.

When he realized what Gu Jin(Su Jin) had done just now, he felt ashamed. This morning he thought that Su Jin was a heartless person, but the scene which he saw just now, made him realize how shallow he was.

Gu Jin changed her disguise again and returned to the lodge.

She wished that Tang Guan would keep his mouth shut. After all, she compensated the lean man not because she wanted to look like a good person. She did so that he could have a reason to live.

Gu Jin indeed succeeded in her plan, because later the lean man became a top-class mage and named his child after his brother’s name even when he came to know about the truth, at that time he would become one of Gu Jin’s loyal followers.

Gu Jin was unaware of the change that was about to happen and was busy dealing with the situation at hand.

Jasmine, Long Yifan’s sister’s today’s treatment was over. And now she has to cultivate as well as make pills.

By the time Gu Jin was finished it was 2 am in the night and slept in the space. The next morning she cultivated her physical body and exited the space.

Her Intermediate Rank Plant Element had a long way to go before it could reach tier 2. As for her dark fire element? Gu Jin kept on feeling as if it was about to break through, however without a Solar Vein she knew she couldn’t break through.

As Gu Jin was pondering on those details, Tang Guan informed her that it was time to depart.

They had already been delayed a lot. By today they had to cross the Moonshadow forest, to reach Undercity.

Once in the car, the team departed for the Moonshadow forest. Zhang Wei and the rest of the team remained silent.

Each of them was lost in their own thought.

As if remembering something Zhang Wei took out a small box, and passed each member a box.

"The mutated red-eyed deers sold well so I bought some Ordinary Grade artifacts. They have the power to attack all the beasts below intermediate rank. There are also 5 magic stones."

The members finally had a smile on their faces and opened the box to examine.
