Chapter 280: Yeah, I’m back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just when Scarface pushed the young mage away and wanted to bring his n in, he saw a long red shadow flash past him. Before he knew it, he saw a floor of blood-red vines crawling towards them from all directions. In the blink of an eye, they entangled a few of his n.
Then, a hair-raising sound could be heard. The red vines wiggled and beca like leeches, sucking onto his n...
“Oh my God...” The n who were still intimidating backed off subconsciously.
Then...
Scarface suddenly realized that there was a coach that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Erald Tower. A smiling young man aged around 20 walked out of it.
But, the words that ca out of his mouth caused everyone to break out in cold sweat.
“People who want to invade the Erald Tower, DIE!”
The silence at the entrance of the Erald Tower was deafening. There was only the sucking sound that ca from the blood-vines. Scarface swallowed his saliva in trepidation. In fact, he really wished to escape from this horrific place imdiately. The gaze of that young man was very scary. He felt as though he was targeted by a magical beast. A poisonous snake would have been more friendly towards him.
But, Scarface knew that he should not escape.
Since the n under him were all rcenaries, they were not loyal to him at all. If he were to escape, they would run off really quickly to create trouble.
“Who am I?” Lin Li asked. Although his smile stayed the sa, his Aether Staff flashed. Those fellas who were still trying to sneak into the Erald Tower got caught up tightly by the blood-vines. At that instant, an ominous sound could be heard. Together with the shrieks from the n, it caused everybody to tremble in fear. Their struggle, however, were in vain. The more they fidgeted, the tighter the vines got. After a while, the once burly and strong n turned into dried corpses. When they were brought down by the blood-vines, they were rather flat. Their eyes were bulging; they’d died with a horrified expression...
“Pardon , I’m a mber of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic. May I know if I have the right to discuss so things with you?” After asking politely, Lin Li smiled warmly at them.
“You... Please stand back!” Scarface scread in terror. Lin Li’s smile was so artificial that it was as though Scarface had seen a ghost. Scarface backed away cautiously. Unlike his usual oppressive stance, he was really timid now...
“Don’t be so worried. Take it easy! I don’t like to kill people or create trouble...” Lin Li assured Scarface casually. After he walked along the steps up to the entrance of the Erald Tower, he turned back to look at Scarface under his chin. The elevation gave him a sense of superiority when he looked at him.
“But, if there are any people who are going to enter the Erald Tower without permission, don’t bla for not letting them go!”
“Little fella, don’t be too cocky!” After witnessing the death of his n, Scarface was so spooked that he would definitely not trespass the Erald Tower if he had 100 guts. Courage was needed to confront a monster that killed without thinking. Scarface was not bold enough to do that. Hence, he tried to put on a brave front. “Let tell you now. We Blood Brothers are not pushovers!”
How would Scarface expect that his words would lead him into greater trouble.
“Blood Brothers?” Lin Li frowned upon hearing the na. “Stop there,” he commanded.
Although Lin Li’s was not loud, his voice was like thunder to Scarface’s ears. His legs turned jelly on the spot. He really wished to give himself two slaps on the face.
Why did I say that? I would have escaped from the bloodthirsty monster if I tried! Will he swallow or skin alive...?
“W-what do you want?”
“You are from the Blood Brothers?”
“Yes...”
“Very good,” Lin Li said and nodded. A flash from the Aether Staff made the blood-vines retract, only leaving a few dried corpses on the ground. “Tell Aaron-Mazi to see at the Erald Tower at once.”
“...” Scarface was speechless. He took a cold breath. Aaron-Mazi was the leader of the Blood Brothers, and had great influence in Jarrosus.
Was that young mage mad? If he requested for Aaron-Mazi to see him, why didn’t he ask Ysera to make Reuben et him? Even if Jarrosus Guild of Magic used to rule Jarrosus in the past, it was the past. How would Aaron-Mazi give face to a fallen guild of magic? Furthermore, if they wanted to give face, the other party would be Gerian. How could they give any respect to a 20 years old mage?
Of course...
Those thoughts could only be left in Scarface’s mind. He would not have the guts to say it out loud...
“Oh...” Scarface nodded, and brought his n away quickly.
“Mage Felic is back!” a 50 years old Magic Shooter shouted when he saw the three n step into the guild hall.
This announcent created a din in the whole Erald Tower.
To the Erald Tower, the na ‘Felic’ had beco a legend.
Everyone would know that this was the man who had created a huge commotion during the auction at Jarrosus, as well as in the battle at the Daylight Square. The most ignorant fella would have heard of the young talent from the Erald Tower whose na was ‘Felic’. This ‘Felic’ stood up for Erald Tower when it was at its weakest, and he was able to defeat the rlin Family by himself and help the Erald Tower take control of all the forces in Jarrosus.
Only the people who had interacted with Lin Li and knew his true ability would know the significance of Lin Li to the Erald Tower.
It was this understanding that motivated them to guard their last piece of territory in Jarrosus. They firmly believed that they would be able to overco all adversity. They only had to endure until Felic returned to Jarrosus. Then, the rlin Family and the Shadow’s Nest would fall beneath Erald Tower again.
“Mage Felic is back!” The news of Lin Li’s arrival spread around really quickly. It did not take more than 10 minutes for it to be known to the entire Erald Tower.
“Yeah, I’m back!”
...
At the sa ti, Scarface stood before Aaron-Mazi fearfully...
In reality, Scarface was just an external mber of the Blood Brothers. In terms of status, he had no right to et Aaron-Mazi at all. This ti, he brought the brothers to Erald Tower due to monetary rewards. He did not expect that Aaron-Mazi had such a huge network to know what had happened. It was not long after the racket at Erald Tower that he got called to et Aaron-Mazi.
Then...
“Ross, I heard that you went to the Erald Tower?” Aaron-Mazi asked coldly while sizing up the trembling Scarface.
“Y-yes...”
“PAT!”
A crisp sound could be heard.
Aaron-Mazi landed a tight slap on his face.
“Big Boss...”
“F*ck, don’t call boss! I’m not qualified to be your boss...” Aaron-Mazi was so angry that his lungs nearly burst. He really regretted not getting of this moron earlier. What the heck, how could these fools listen to whover gave them money? Did they think that the Erald Tower would fall just because a fire?
Son of a b*tch...
Other people might not know the power of the Erald Tower. But, how would Aaron-Mazi not know? Although Erald Tower might appear to be weak now, their foundation was still extrely strong. Not to forget, the news of Gerian’s death was not yet announced. That sly fatty had to be plotting so conspiracy. When he appeared again, it would be the day the Shadow’s Nest repaid their debts...
On top of that...
Aaron-Mazi saw very clearly that although the Erald Tower had been down for this period of ti, their two loyal allies—Mannes Family and Saruman Family—were still very supportive of it. Why was that so? Even the knees of Aaron-Mazi would know that it would be due to their young mage at Alanna...
“F*ck you, scumbags! Why are you always creating trouble for ...” The thought of that young mage caused Aaron-Mazi to experience a huge headache. If he were to know the matter, 100 lives would not be enough for him to die...
