Chapter 933: 292. Behind the Scenes
The two wizards who appeared in Selena’s study were menacing.
Moreover, one of them was not made of flesh and blood.
His body was composed of gray-white rocks, with light gray magical runes scattered across the surface.
Each rock mimicked human bones, and the entire figure resembled a stone sculpture of a skeleton.
This man came from [Mage’s Hand], and was an Enforcement Wizard within this wizard force.
Even if their own magic system did not have the effect of “Breaking Law,” large wizard forces would specifically cultivate some Enforcement Wizards unique to themselves.
...
[Mage’s Hand] was no exception.
Then, look at the man who claims to be Dietrich Fegan Pangula.
He bore some resemblance to Dickler Fegan, mainly in the cheekbones and eyes.
As a witch who had a complicated “entanglement” with Dickler Fegan, Selena would not mistake a member of the Pangula family.
The Dietrich Fegan she was now facing was the sixth in line to inherit the Pangula family, only a year younger than Dickler Fegan.
During her “relationship” with Dickler Fegan, Selena had seen him before.
With the prior notice from the Wizard Enforcement Department, Selena quickly composed herself and was not intimidated by the two with malicious intent.
She calmly folded the Letter Paper in her hand and placed it back into the envelope.
She raised her hand summoning with [Mage’s Hand] and brought over a few chairs from the wall.
Two of them she placed opposite herself, and the remaining one next to her own seat.
“Both of you, please take a seat and wait for a moment,” Selena said while controlling the Magic Pen to write letters:
“According to Ulnas Circle Rule No. 2, members of the magic institutions must have an enforcer from their own institution present when responding to inquiries from enforcers not of their institute. You wouldn’t mind if I called over an Enforcement Wizard from the Deep Sea Branch, would you?”
Selena wrote two letters addressed to different recipients, handing them over to the Magic Conch waiting by her side.
The Magic Conch blew a string of Bubbles and slipped into the Messenger Plane.
“Of course, we don’t mind you doing that, Miss Selena Williams,” Dietrich Fegan said, his smile more sardonic than cheerful as his mouth corners twisted upward:
“Even with an Enforcement Wizard from the Deep Sea Branch present, it cannot change the fact that you have stolen the Pangula family’s intellectual creations.”
The Rock Bone Enforcer standing next to Dietrich Fegan did not speak; it was he, a member of the Pangula family, who took the initiative to continue the topic, looking for trouble…
Selena glanced at the Rock Bone Enforcer, whose silence exuded menace, unable to discern any emotion or expression from that gray-white hideous stone face.
It seems Noland Lee’s conjecture is absolutely true… Selena thought to herself.
It was indeed the Pangula family instigating [Larolon Rockbone] behind the scenes.
The sixth heir to the Pangula family, wasn’t he just the Rock Bone Enforcer who came looking for her endorsement?
Dietrich and his companion pulled out chairs and sat down opposite Selena, with a large desk between them.
While waiting for backup, Selena thought of many things.
After Mira Faar took over as the acting principal for the Pangula family on the isle, only non-metallic ores from four isles had been extracted.
All four isles were small and located in the Eastern Region of the Suman Archipelago, and they were all owned by Noland Lee.
Noland had told Selena that he had bought these four small isles from Sienna.
And Sienna had taken them over from Dickler Turner.
Before Sienna took over, Dickler Turner had sent his family’s mining team to strip the isles of their metal ores, and then dumped them like trash to Sienna.
Dickler Turner did this, mainly to undermine Sienna and cause her to fail the family assessment.
It wasn’t just the four isles that Dickler Turner dumped on Sienna, but also the ore exploration reports of those isles.
These four reports were handed over by Dickler Turner…
And he had only excavated the metallic ores…
Selena’s face remained unchanged, but her heart tightened slightly.
She probably knew what was going on.
Wizards under Dickler Turner might have already discovered the non-metallic ores on the isles, but deliberately concealed this fact in the exploration reports.
It was a conspiracy that killed two birds with one stone.
At that time, Sienna was strapped for cash and couldn’t afford to hire wizards for ore exploration.
She had no choice but to sell the four isles as if their resources were completely depleted.
Since the exploration reports did not disclose the reserves of non-metallic ores and the metallic ores had been exhausted, the price of the four isles would continuously drop.
Ultimately, Sienna failed her family assessment, and the four isles were bought by Dickler Turner at a very low price.
Once the isles were back in his hands, Dickler Turner could then incorporate the distribution of non-metallic ores into the exploration reports.
This way, not only could he raise the price of the isles and profit from the price difference, but he could also deliver a severe psychological blow to Sienna.
Furthermore, Dickler Turner had likely set up the same arrangement for every isle he had explored.
He deliberately concealed the status of non-metallic ore resources in each exploration report. noveldrama
If this was the case, things were looking grim…
The Pangula family most likely possessed a ready-made Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map, while Noland Lee might still need some time to produce a similar map.
Compared side by side, anyone would think that the Pangula family discovered the non-metallic ore deposits first.
This was very disadvantageous for the direction of this inquiry.
