Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1730 - 1719: Conscientious Organization

This decision naturally faced opposition from these merchants, which led to today's scene."Is everyone that short of money?"

Ning Fan couldn't quite understand, given the cultivator's lifestyle, living a life of luxury should be particularly easy, there's no need for such commotion.

"Of course. Magic Crystal Stones, alchemical materials, magical materials, all require money to purchase."

Magic Crystal Stone is a special gemstone, inherently valuable, and due to containing magic power, its price skyrockets even more.

Moreover, those materials related to magic and alchemy are bizarre and rare, you can't even find their whereabouts without spending a fortune.

Apart from the demand for cultivation techniques, Western cultivators have a high dependency on external objects.

A fine Magic Crystal Stone can help quickly gather magic power and enhance strength.

A high-quality alchemy tool can add an extra lifeline.

So naturally, these people are against the plan to increase rent.

"Everyone, rest assured, your opinions will be considered, and we will discuss them accordingly to come up with the best plan."

Ander patiently advised, "I believe everyone's heard the news, soon Ryan Town will..."

Previously, Ning Fan had quite a few words regarding the cooperation between the Exorcism Association and the Alien Clan,

but at this moment, seeing Ander's sincere demeanor, Ning Fan couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill.

With the surging magic power within Ander, if it were unleashed, he could kill these hundred people several times over, yet he patiently explained while lowering his status.

Through the leader's attitude, one can see the character of this organization.

In some aspects, the Exorcism Association can be said to be a public service intermediary organization,

its issued tasks do not charge any intermediary fees.

The financial income of the Exorcism Association comes entirely from the real estate and shop rental in Ryan Town.

The property in Ryan Town is sold only to Hunters and is priced low, equivalent to welfare housing.

The shop rental is slightly higher but still within a reasonable range.

After listening to Alice's explanation, Ning Fan quietly thought, "As an organization, the Exorcism Association can be considered a conscientious enterprise."

Turning his gaze toward Ander's side, Ning Fan finally saw the fleeting green shadow, the Green Wood Sprite mentioned by Alice.

About the size of a pigeon, wearing a green outfit akin to a grass skirt, flapping a pair of butterfly-like wings behind, with wings larger than its body.

"Such a small being, the magic power fluctuations in its body match Ander's. Truly, one cannot judge by appearances."

At this moment, the Green Wood Sprite Rachel was flapping its wings, flying around in the air, drawing circles of varying sizes.

Alice laughed, "Rachel has seen us and is greeting us."

"Such a greeting method is quite novel, probably..."

Probably because it's so small, it uses this method to attract attention.

Ning Fan wasn't comfortable saying this aloud, as it might turn into racial discrimination.

Under Ander's persuasion, the hundred or so people gradually dispersed,

they came today just to demand an explanation, not to truly cause trouble.

As they passed by Ning Fan and Alice, though curious, they didn't linger.

Then Ander cheerfully approached, "Alice, you're here."

Alice quickly stepped forward, "Grandpa Ander, long time no see."

"Alice, I've missed you."

Rachel flew to Alice excitedly, flying around her eyes.

"Who is this?"

Ander glanced at Ning Fan, his eyes slightly amazed.

After getting close, he realized he didn't sense a trace of magic power or battle aura from this young man.

Ander quietly wondered, "Not from the Morgan Family. Just an ordinary person?"

Alice shyly said, "His name is Ning Fan, and he's my friend."

"Friend?"

Ander's expression changed slightly, then he smiled kindly, "Hello, Ning Fan."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ander."

Ander asked with a smile, "Ning Fan, you don't seem to be a Hunter, right?"

The Exorcism Association has hunters of all kinds, about a thousand or so, excluding the Alien Clan, most of the humans are Westerners.

With his Eastern appearance, Ander could instantly tell he was a stranger.

Before Ning Fan could speak, Alice quickly said, "Grandpa Ander, sorry."

Ander chuckled, "Child, you brought a friend here, how could I blame you? Ning Fan, welcome to Ryan Town."

Previously the Exorcism Association maintained a shroud of mystery and was quite strict in managing this aspect.

But with changing times and the recent Blood Clan's nation-establishing event's impact, the Exorcism Association began considering opening up.

Of course, not opening up to everyone but rather to cultivators without Hunter identities.

Ning Fan sincerely said, "Thank you for the invitation."

"It's nothing."

Ander waved his hand, quietly guessing Ning Fan's identity.

Not long ago he received news from Andrew, informing him that Alice and a human were coming here, hoping to provide care.

Shortly after Andrew sent his transmission, William's message also came through, saying similar things.

"Who exactly is Ning Fan? To have the two Dukes request care for him, and even have the Morgan family's little Princess accompany."

Regarding Ning Fan's matters, the two Blood Clan families have always kept them confidential.

The only place where the truth is known is the Blood Fang Tribe, which rarely deals with humans and, given their scandalous defeat, is even less likely to publicize the matter.

As Ander couldn't come up with an answer, he invited, "Let's go inside to talk."

Walking into the guild building, they were greeted by a large office hall.

The office hall wasn't an open space but consisted of individual rooms.

Ander introduced, "This is where Hunters hand over their tasks. These reception rooms are mainly for confidentiality. After all..."

Saying that, Ander wrapped it up with a smile.

Ning Fan understood the implication.

The Exorcism Association is a loose organization, though it holds absolute management authority over Ryan Town.

However, it has no way to regulate the Hunters' behavior externally.

Once a task is exposed, if anyone informs others for interests, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the task-executing Hunter.

"No wonder even a receptionist here has such high skills."

Ning Fan glanced at the tiny Rachel, the Green Wood Sprite responsible for one of the reception rooms, explaining, distributing, and verifying tasks for Hunters.

In Ander's introduction, these reception rooms are all equipped with magic formations to prevent perception and eavesdropping, ensuring tasks don't leak out.

Moreover, the tasks issued by receptionists vary each time.

Even if task acquisition fails, this task will be transferred to another reception room.
