The magic train stopped at the platform. The handsome young man yawned and slowly got off the train.
This is Agalifa, a city 50 kilometers away from Magnolia, and it is also the location of the client that Noah wants to meet.
The atmosphere of this city gave Noah the feeling of two words: "get rich".
As soon as Noah walked out of Agalifa Station, several people stuffed a pile of flyers into his hands. When he opened them, he saw that they were all advertisements for financial products.
"Tsk, tsk, if it worked they wouldn't be handing out flyers on the streets."
Noah casually stuffed the flyer back to a flyer distributor, and headed towards his destination while the distributor looked confused.
Along the way, there were voices of sales or discussions about the economy everywhere. The reason why the people of Agalifa City were keen on "making money" was entirely because of the existence of a business guild.
Stopping in front of a magnificent building, Noah looked up at the name on the sign of the business guild – "Love & Lucky"
The literal translation is "love luck".
It seems that luck cannot be obtained through love, otherwise how could it be found on the Magic Guild.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
A young man in a neat suit and carrying a briefcase appeared behind Noah. He was the salesperson here.
After Noah explained his purpose, the salesman warmly invited Noah to enter the guild and wait while he went to report to the president.
Compared to the atmosphere of financial discussions on the streets outside, the atmosphere inside this business guild was surprisingly peaceful.
Noah thought that he would be pulled by the staff to promote the product, but he didn't expect that to happen. However, he still learned from several staff members why the people of Agalifa were keen on making money.
It turns out that the founder of the famous Heartfilia Group, this financial giant, "Jude Heartfilia", came from the "Love Lucky" business guild.
Building a huge business empire in just 10 years, such a legendary experience, no wonder it is sought after by people.
However, a senior staff member said that no one else could ever replicate Jiude's success.
Before Noah's curiosity could be answered, the salesman came back and said, "Mr. Magician, President Reina is waiting for you. Please follow me."
In the grand president's office, the listless middle-aged man waved his hand tiredly to let the salesman leave. It seemed that the Commercial Guild had no less to worry about than the Magic Guild.
Reina forced a smile on his tired face, "I have issued this commission to many magic guilds in the past two years, but only you have come so far. Fairy Tail is indeed full of talented people."
Noah smiled helplessly. If it weren't for his joining, Fairy Tail would be the same as other magic guilds.
Generally speaking, the members of the Magic Guild have little interest in financial operations of "rising to the sky in one second and falling to the ground in the next". They prefer to exchange their own labor and efforts for rewards.
"President Reina, please explain the content of your request."
Noah didn't want to listen to Reina's ramblings. He wanted to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible and continue staying at home.
Reina nodded. "I would like you to investigate the forces behind the 'Black Bird' consortium. I suspect they are members of the Black Magic Cult."
The Black Magic Cult?!
Noah raised his eyebrows. How come he could hear them both times he went out? They were really haunting creatures.
Seeing that Noah had no expression and obviously did not take the notorious group seriously, Reina felt that he had found a reliable wizard.
"President Reina, since you have doubts, why don't you explain them directly to the Magic Council?"
"Given the Council's attitude of 'not letting go' of the Black Magic Cult, they will definitely forcibly search for the Black Bird."
In response to Noah's question, Reina smiled bitterly and said, "Because my friend's funds have been locked up by the Black Bird Consortium. If the Council comes, the confiscated property will not be returned to him afterwards."
"Who is your friend?"
"You should have heard of him. His name is Jiude, and he is the helmsman of the Heartfilia Consortium."
Noah didn't expect to hear Heartfilia's name in this commission, but would a shrewd businessman like Jiude be trapped in capital?
Seeing Noah's curiosity, Reina did not hide it and said in a deep voice: "Jiu De and I joined the guild at the same time. His surname was not originally 'Heartfilia', but it was changed after he married into the family."
"By the way, his wife, Layla Heartfilia, also worked in our guild, but they both quit after they got married."
"With the help of the Heartfilia family's funds, Jiude quickly opened up his business empire, and Leila gave birth to a lovely daughter."
"I was a little jealous of Jiude's happiness at that time, as he had a successful family and a successful career."
"But tragedy struck very quickly. Leila died suddenly, which shocked Jiude and made him become very extreme. He focused on expanding his business and didn't care about his daughter anymore."
"When he first started working with Blackbird, I tried to persuade him, but Jiude insisted on doing so… After the funds were taken away, the Heartfilia Consortium also encountered difficulties with stagnant cash flow. Then someone broke the news, and Jiude had no choice but to sell off a lot of his core railway assets."
Did his temperament change drastically because of his wife's sudden death?
He is a truly loving husband, but unfortunately not a good father.
Jiude is lucky. Even though he has become like this, he still has a good brother like Reina who cares about him.
Having said that, how could Noah not see that Reina had issued the commission for help just for Jiude.
Reina will help Noah disguise himself as a young playboy and enter the Black Bird Consortium under the pretext of investment investigation, taking the opportunity to find evidence that the other party is a black magic cult.
With the evidence, Reina can make Jiude come to his senses, and use it to negotiate with Black Bird to get Jiude's money back.
Noah sighed in his heart. President Reina's thinking was still fixed by the businessman's way of thinking.
What kind of people are in the Black Magic Cult?
It is simply wishful thinking to think that you can use negotiation and threats to get back Jiude's money from a group of ruthless guys.
Noah apparently agreed with Reina's method. As an ordinary person, he would not participate in the infiltration operation anyway. When the time comes, Noah will solve the problem in his own way.
