“I’m a Rescue Mage of the Donghai Magic Association. I’m currently responsible for gathering and contacting everyone who came to lend the Donghai Magic Association a hand. They are gathering at Jiangtou Park. They are not familiar with the area, as they have come from other places,” the young woman said.

“My house is close to Jiangtou Park…” a female high-schooler in the same uniform as the young teenager piped up. “My family is still there. Can I go with you?”

The young woman looked at the others who were climbing the zip lines to the building. She said with a troubled look, “I think it’s better for you to stay with them.”

“My mother can’t see anything. I’m really worried about her. I’m begging you,” the high-schooler pleaded.

“Sister, please help her. I can help too… I can see deeper into the water if I’m not scared,” the young teenager said.

Mo Fan let out a sigh when he saw how hard the young teenager was defending the high-schooler. Was displaying affection in public so common among young school kids already? How old were they!?

The young woman was obviously the kind who pretended to be cold on the surface but warm on the inside. She finally agreed after the two high-schoolers pleaded.

However, it was not a wise decision in Mo Fan’s eyes. It was completely different having to bring two people who did not know magic than moving around alone. The difficulty was more than doubled!

“We are heading that way too. Let’s go together,” Mo Fan told the young woman.

The young woman did not respond, but the young teenager gave Mo Fan a disdainful look instead.

It was likely that the young teenager had taken the young woman’s comment seriously. He assumed Mo Fan was too scared to even move his feet when he saw the sea monster.

“What’s with the look in your eyes? Do you know I can use Blink?” Mo Fan glared at the young teenager.

“Yeah, sure, I can use a Forbidden Spell too.” The young teenager rolled his eyes.

“Damn, I will show it to you now. You better hope it doesn’t blind you!” Mo Fan’s temper rose.

“Show it to me then, don’t just put on an act, I didn’t see you contributing just then, yet you are claiming to be a Super Mage now when the sea monster is already dead. Show me a Super Spell, and I’ll apologize to you right away,” the young teenager said.

“Screw it, I can’t stand you any longer,” Mo Fan was seriously going to Cast a spell.

Lingling immediately kicked Mo Fan in the stomach when she sensed the energy ripples from him. She grunted, “Are you out of your mind? Are you really arguing with a kid? Save your energy, we are on a mission!”

The young woman stared at Mo Fan and the young teenager like they were retards. She followed the bus rapid transit route together with the high-schooler. Lingling went with the young woman as she had enough of Mo Fan, leaving him and the young teenager who were arguing behind.

“You were still drinking milk somewhere when I first learned magic!”

“Keep going, the next time a sea monster shows up, go and fight it yourself instead!”

“I’m telling you, I was just observing how strong the sea monster was. I could have killed it with a single spell if I wanted…”

“Your face is thicker than the sea monster’s shell!”

“Blin… damn it, forget it, I won’t waste my time on a kid like you.”

The group continued on the highway. After some discussion, Lingling learned the young woman was indeed a member of the Donghai Magic Association’s Rescue Squad. Her name was Shen Qing. The rescue squad was currently scattered across Xiamen. She was entrusted with the important mission of guiding the South Wing Mages who had come to Xiamen to make sure they knew their way around.

Mu Bai was leading the South Wing Mages who had been dispatched to Xiamen. In other words, Shen Qing was the representative of the Donghai Magic Association who was supposed to receive them. Mo Fan glanced at the coordinates provided by Zhang Xiaohou. The soldiers from the Qinling Division and the Hongling Division were gathering at Jiangtou Park too.

Many organizations had come to lend Xiamen a hand. The people from the Qinling Division, Hongling Division, and South Wing Platoon had taken a military plane at Feiniao City to Xiamen. It was very likely that the authorities had combined the three troops into one for the operation.

The Donghai Magic Association and the Southern Military were most likely in charge of the operation!

The young teenager’s name was Liu Xi, while the female high-schooler’s name was Fang Xiaoxue. They were from the same high school. Interestingly, they were not an official couple yet. The young teenager was asking the girl out instead.

Mo Fan was a lot more relieved after learning the truth. If these high schoolers were already bringing negativity to society when they were only freshmen in high school, how heavy-hearted would the singles from the nineties be?

“So it’s only a one-sided love! Kid, you have a long way to go still,” Mo Fan mocked.

“It’s none of your concern!” Liu Xi snapped. Teenagers his age were very sensitive about their love interests.

Lingling had also told Shen Qing about Mo Fan and her background during their conversation. Shen Qing purposely looked back at Mo Fan, who was still arguing with the young teenager. She had to admit that Mo Fan was so pompous that she could hardly think of him as someone reliable. She was still doubtful even when Lingling told her the truth.

“Is Jiangtou Park far away from here?” Lingling asked.

Shen Qing pointed in front of her and replied, “We won’t be able to take the bus rapid transit any further after we reach the station ahead.”

The bus rapid transit did not have many stations. Xiamen only had three highways going from the south to the north, and Jiangtou Park was a certain distance from them.

“The water is shallower here,” Lingling pointed out.

“Jiangtou Park is the center of the island. The coordinates you received should be the Sheraton Hotel,” Shen Qing confirmed.

“Do you mean the tall, gold-copper building over there?” Lingling asked, pointing in a specific direction.

“Mm, that’s the one. It should be the evacuation point for the people in Jiangtou,” Shen Qing said.

Lingling took a closer look and discovered the Sheraton Hotel covered a huge area. The building was just beside the park. It was a lot bigger compared to the office buildings and commercial lots nearby.

“That’s where our landing point should be. Does that mean it was us who was separated from the team?” Mo Fan exclaimed when he saw the building.

“And whose fault was that!?” Lingling snapped.

Zhang Xiaohou had landed precisely on the designated point, while his men had landed in the nearby areas. They were able to reach the gathering point fairly quickly. Some who landed further away had already regrouped with the team. Mo Fan, who had to cross a huge section of the bus rapid transit and a few more streets to reach the gathering point, had turned out to be the most unreliable member among them!
