Chapter 281 - Allies and Comrades-In-Arms
Aaron-Mazis’ expression was restless. He paced up and down in the room like a bundle of nerves. He had been in control of the Blood Brotherhood for tens of years, but he had never been as flustered as today. After fighting from the sidelines for tens of years, all had been destroyed by the blind idiot Rossi. F*ck, what was this idiot thinking? He was actually stupid enough to cause trouble at the Emerald Tower for a small sum of money. Did he really think that the Emerald Tower would be completely destroyed after Gerian’s disappearance?
It’s going to be big trouble this time. Unless Gerian doesn’t come back… otherwise, he will definitely take revenge on the Blood Brotherhoo d. At that point, there was really no place to cry anymore. Aaron-Mazis got angrier the more he thought about it. He looked at Scarface for a long while, cursing in his mind. F*ck, could it be that this idiot was sent as a spy by some force?
No, I must think of a way…
Aaron-Mazi thought about it, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and called a few of his trusted subordinates over.
“Prepare gifts and follow me to the Emerald Tower.”
“Yes!”
“And you…” Aaron-Mazi pointed at Scarface, who was trembling in fear. “Bring your henchmen and follow me to the Emerald Tower to comply with the punishment. Staying alive or dying would depend on your luck. You idiot, you’d better pray that Mage Felic has not returned yet, or else…
“Mage Felic…” Aaron-Mazi’s head immediately tightened, and when he looked at Lin Li again, his voice was stuttering even when he spoke. “Mage Felic, let… let me explain…”
“Haha, there’s nothing to explain. If I am not mistaken, you will definitely tell me that all of it has nothing to do with you. It was this Brother Scarface’s idea. How is it, Mr Mazi, am I right?”
“This…”
“It’s ok, Mr Mazi. Let’s forget about this issue. You don’t have to explain, and I will not investigate. Let’s pretend that it never happened. After all, the Blood Brotherhood is our ally. We, the Guild of Magic, still have this much magnanimity.”
“Huh?” Aaron-Mazi was in a daze. Before coming to the Emerald Tower, he was thinking a lot. There were all sorts of possible results, be it good or bad, but the best result would still be being extorted. After all, the current Guild of Magic had a lot of things to be done. They needed a lot of funds to rebuild the Emerald Tower, and Aaron-Mazi had already prepared himself to agree to it as long as the terms were not too demanding.
As for this, Aaron-Mazi had not reacted to it when he heard Lin Li say “I will not investigate.” It was only when the words had been spoken that Aaron-Mazi become stunned.
T-t-that’s… how is that possible?
Aaron-Mazi was very clear about the personality of this young mage. Back then, Cromwell had been killed by him with a single Icicle when he’d caught two of his friends. What kind of luck was Aaron-Mazi enjoying? His subordinate had blocked the main gate of the Emerald Tower and announced that the Emerald Tower needed to hand over Guild of Magic, yet it could all be treated as if nothing had happened. Could it be that this young mage had suffered from some tragedy during these two months at Alanna, and his personality had changed so much?
“Don’t be so nervous, Mr Mazi. Emerald Tower is one of the eighteen forces of Jarrosus. Maintaining the peace and harmony in Jarrosus is just a small issue. Please don’t take it heart. But I have something else more important to discuss with you.”
“Please speak your mind, Mage Felic. As long as it’s something that the Blood Brotherhood can do, I, Aaron-Mazi, will definitely not reject it!” Such a big issue was not to be investigated, so Aaron-Mazi did not dare to make any excuses. Before Lin Li could even say what it was, he had already pounded his chest and agreed.
“It’s like this, Mr Mazi. I heard that around Jarrosus, there is placed called Demon Fall Valley. The scenery is beautiful, just like in a fairy tale. I’ve always wanted to take a look…” After reaching this point, Lin Li took a pause before continuing, “But it’s a pity. I heard that recently, the people of Shadow’s Nest had occupied Demon Fall Valley and laid all sorts of traps. I’ve been cowardly, afraid something might happen while I’m enjoying the scenery. So, I was thinking of asking Mr Mazi for help. Help me get a map of the Demon Fall Valley. It’s best that those dirty traps can be found, lest something happens to me while I’m enjoying the scenery…”
“…” Aaron-Mazi was dumbfounded. He had seen his fair share of shameless people, but this was the first time for him to see someone so shameless. F*ck, Alanna has indeed changed this young mage’s personality, but it was just that he has become even more shameless…
