origins.
He believed he should treat it more seriously after hearing Lingling’s analysis.
There had been many unpredictable threats lately!

“It’s very serious, they are as dangerous as the Sandstorm Demon Locusts.
If they haven’t gone extinct, it means they don’t have a deadly weakness, nor are they going to disappear on their own.
They might continue to reproduce too, so it’s important to have the Research Union keep an eye on a new species like the Salamander Demons, in case it turns out to be a new disaster species!” Lingling said.

Zhu Meng frowned.

If the Salamander Demons were indeed a disaster species, things were going to be a lot more complicated!

What was Jiang Xia even doing? He definitely knew more about the species, so why did he only put up a request and ask the Hunters and ordinary Mages for help? Why did he not report it to the Magic Association and let them assess the danger of the species?

“The information you found is very important, and your analysis is on point, too.
I will head to the Research Union and ask them to assess the danger level of the Salamander Demons,” Zhu Meng promised.

“Jiang Xia might be thinking of settling the problem himself.
That way, the Ward Rock will still be his.
If he reports this to his superiors, the government might end up splitting the profits or classify it as a territory of the demon creatures and not allow people to enter it freely,” Mu Ningxue conjectured.

“Mm, that’s possible too.
I will have to ask Jiang Xia in person!” Zhu Meng was decisive as always.

Zhu Meng brought Mo Fan and the others with him.
Jiang Xia was already asleep when they arrived, and was woken up by Zhu Meng’s sudden visit.

Zhu Meng was not afraid of offending the old Councilman after learning how serious the threat might be.
He insisted on waking Jiang Xia up.

Jiang Xia yawned as he brought the guests to his living room with a sullen face.
He poured himself some tea and glanced at his unexpected guests coldly.

“Zhu Meng, you have come to my house at this time.
I won’t forgive you if it’s not something important!” Jiang Xia was an arrogant man.
He treated Councilman Zhu Meng like he was his junior, and did not even bother greeting him conventionally.

“Councilman Jiang, have you assessed the danger level of the Salamander Demons?” Zhu Meng promptly inquired.

Jiang Xia frowned instantly, and fixed his eyes on him.
Zhu Meng had asked a critical question!

“It’s the Research Union’s job,” Jiang Xia replied flatly.

“I believe the Salamander Demons might be a new disaster species.
You better let the others know and tell them to send an army to deal with it,” Zhu Meng said.

“It’s not like the army has nothing better to do.
You are well aware of how grim the situation is along the coastline! There’s no need to raise a fuss if the local government can deal with the problem!

“Or do you think I’m too old to handle a trivial matter like that myself? Besides, did the Research Union assess the danger? If not, what excuse do you have to send in the army? Who cares what you believe in? Even though you are in charge of the Threat-Elimination Strategy, you have no right to intervene with my business before the Research Union has finished assessing it!” Jiang Xia shouted.

“But it will take the Research Union a long time to assess it.
I’m worried that it will be too late to get rid of the Salamander Demons by then,” Zhu Meng countered.

“See them out!” Jiang Xia rose to his feet and ordered his men to send his guests out.
