Chapter 32: Beautiful Woman, Personally Asked to Attend the Gathering

The next day.

San Francisco, Magic Investigation Bureau.

Roosevelt sat in his office, holding the telephone respectfully as he answered a call from the Mage Headquarters.

After some time, Roosevelt put down the telephone in his hand and lit a cigarette. He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. He exhaled slowly.

“This is great. The higher-ups have sent a Great Mage to support us. Although he is only a newly advanced Great Mage, he is still a Great Mage. There is no need to be too anxious when encountering a great demonic creature in the future!”

He took another deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and slowly exhaled.

Roosevelt knew that although San Francisco had Chu He, he could not place all his hopes on him.

Furthermore, he had not even figured out Chu He’s true identity.

Apollo sounded like a code name no matter how he looked at it, so he still got the Public Security Bureau to investigate it.

As he expected, there were only five people named Apollo in the Public Security Bureau’s records. Two women, a baby, and two elderly men who were over 50 years old. None of them fit the criteria.

That was why Roosevelt decided to ask for help again.

This time, the Mage Headquarters did not screw up. They generously sent a Great Mage to support Roosevelt, so when a great demonic creature appeared again, he could let this new Great Mage take action. This could be considered a solution to his worries.

Since Roosevelt had nothing to do, he turned on his computer and read the comments online.

However, when he saw the videos of Chu He on the Internet being explained as deliberately fabricating facts, spreading rumors, threatening social security, and other reasons, he shook his head, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, Roosevelt had hoped more than once that the higher-ups would distribute the cultivation method. After all, they always settled things after things had happened. It was too passive.

It was a pity that his position was too low. Although he was the director of the San Francisco Magic Investigation Bureau, to the higher-ups, it was obvious that his status was too low.

He did not know what the higher-ups were thinking.

However, he was already used to such a way of handling things.

After all, what had happened yesterday was not the first time. Mages were humans too. It was impossible for them to take everything into consideration.

In the past, there were videos of mages fighting against monsters that were taken and posted online.

However, these videos were deleted very quickly. Furthermore, the IDs that released the information would be immediately banned no matter how powerful they were.

Just like this incident, there was no longer any video of Chu He fighting the demonic creature on the Internet.

As for the people who filmed the video, they were not fools. Since they realized that their accounts could not be used, they should know that the higher-ups were banning them.

Therefore, they could only keep this matter to themselves. They would not dare to spread it on the Internet.

If someone really insisted on spreading the news on the Internet, then congratulations, the Public Security Bureau would invite them for a drink and have a chat in the name of social security.

Other than blocking such news from all sides, the higher-ups would also use some celebrity gossip to divert the public’s attention and change the topic.

No matter how many times they used this move, it would always be very effective. After all, although the people knew about this matter, how many people could really persist?

After all, most people preferred gossip and entertainment news.

In short, everything that happened yesterday would quickly fade from the minds of ordinary people until it disappeared.

However, Chu He, the protagonist and the only person who benefited, was still sleeping at home.

Chu He only woke up in bed in the afternoon.

After getting out of bed, he stretched and started to scroll through his phone.

From his point of view, after what happened last night, the Internet should have exploded.

But after he flipped left and right several times, to his surprise, there was no news about him at all.

Chu He was unwilling to give up. He entered the words demon, mage, battle, and so on in the search bar.

Unfortunately, not only did he not find any videos of him, he even saw many videos denying such rumors.

Upon seeing this, Chu He threw his phone on the bed and sighed. This mage organization was so powerful.

Such a big matter was suppressed just like that.

This also made Chu He’s thoughts of not interacting with the Mage Association become even more firm.

Guru…

A wave of hunger hit him. Chu He patted his stomach and walked to the bathroom.

After washing up, he left the house to look for food.

From last night until now, Chu He had slept for a total of 16 hours.

He was extremely hungry now and only wanted to have a good meal.

After leaving the house, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for Chinatown in San Francisco. Since he had decided to have a good meal, he definitely wanted to taste his hometown’s cuisine.

Soon, Chu He arrived in Chinatown.

In a nearby Northeastern Chinese restaurant, he ordered seven to eight dishes and added a few big bowls of rice.

The boss standing by the side was stunned by Chu He’s appetite.

Chu He did not mind the boss’s gaze at all. After finishing his meal, he took out a few green notes and placed them on the table. Then, he left the shop.

“My appetite is getting bigger and bigger!”

“If the elemental cells in my body continue to increase, I wonder if the royalties I earned from writing novels in the past will be enough for me to eat!”

Chu He, who was walking on the street, cursed inwardly.

Just as he was about to head home, someone called out to him.

Chu He turned his head in puzzlement.

It was a white man with blond hair.

“Nick, why are you here?”

The white man was none other than Chu He’s high school classmate and best friend. Their relationship had always been good.

“Chu, I’m here specifically to look for you. Alice, the campus belle of our high school, is preparing to hold a class reunion. She even mentioned that she wants you to attend.”

“I also received the notice from other students. They know that I have a good relationship with you, so they specially asked me to find you!” Nick said to Chu He with a smile.

“Class reunion?” Hearing Nick’s words, Chu He frowned slightly.

“This is too strange. How did Alice confirm that I’m definitely Apollo?” Chu He thought to himself.

“Chu… Chu?”

“Are you alright?”

“No, nothing!” Chu He, who was immersed in his thoughts, was woken up by Nick and answered absentmindedly.

“Chu, don’t you want to attend the class reunion?” Nick looked at Chu He’s frown and probed.

“No, I’m just curious why there’s a class reunion!”

“They even specifically asked me to participate!” Chu He smiled and explained.

“Who knows? However, Chu He, you have to come. The class reunion is scheduled for this Friday. It is right before a weekend so everyone can rest. When the time comes, everyone can have a good gathering!”

“Okay! I’ll call you then!”

After Nick received Chu He’s answer, he smiled and waved his hand before turning to leave.

After leaving, Nick walked quickly to a nearby shadowed area and disappeared.
