Before Brown Charlotte finished his words, Kans thoroughly exploded and started yelling at him.
âWhat do you mean, cool-headed? I canât remain cool-headed! That damn guy not only sneak-attacked me, but he also sneak-attacked Dolon! He attacked us during the banquet for the general attack. This is trampling the Charlotte Familyâs honor, ruthlessly trampling on our Charlotte Family!
âBrown, have you forgotten that the honor of our Family is paramount? Anyone harming the honor of our Family has to pay with their lives.
âI canât wait to kill this kind of foul businessman that only knows how to plot and deceive. If not for that sneak attack, I would have already removed his head and hung it at the entrance of our Familyâs estate!â
Brown hesitated. He had dispatched some people to ask around, but the outcome wasnât very clear. However, what startled him was that although many matters only mentioned the achievements of Mafa Merlin when he was a High Mage, these achievements were shocking. Now, Mafa Merlin had already advanced to the Archmage realm, and even if he had only advanced not that long ago, his strength was bound to have dramatically increased.
âYoung Master Kans, I investigated before, and this Mafa Merlin already had the power of an Archmage at the High Mage Realm. Now that heâs an Archmage, he shouldnât be as easy to handle as other Archmages...â
Brown hesitated, but he still mentioned it. He didnât give the details, because the news he had obtained was very vague. But because of what had just happened, he felt that those achievements might have been real. âThis Mafa Merlin isnât easy to handle...â
Kans Charlotteâs eyes were very red as he shouted wildly.
âBrown, are you really a Charlotte? If I werenât wounded, that damned b*stard would certainly die a very miserable death. But Iâm injured now!
âI want him dead now, I donât care what method you use, I want him dead!â
Brown sighed. Kans Charlotte was the young master of the Family, so although he was the Commander, he couldnât compare with Kans in terms of status.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, Young Master Kans, there is someone I know, someone very powerful and formidable. I even heard that many powerful enemies together were unable to deal with that person. Go find him, and heâll definitely be able to get things done... But youâll have to pay a huge price to make him move.
âDo you know about the Laura Familyâs destruction ten years ago? That was his work. At the time, the Laura Family was eyeing a declining major family and was pressuring them without leaving them a way out. That declining family was said to have once had an ancestor at the Heaven Rank. Unfortunately, their strongest remaining member was a 3rd Rank Archmage.
âThe Laura Family wanted to annex this declining Family and devour their wealth and heritage. They almost managed to kill everyone... but one of the survivors found that formidable person and used all the wealth of his family to pay for the Laura Familyâs destruction. And within a month, the Laura Family was exterminated. No matter where they ran, they all died.
âYou would need to pay a huge price to make him move, even just to handle Mafa Merlin. Young Master Kans...â
Kans immediately burst into loud laughter.
âHuge price? Whatâs a huge price? What does all the wealth of a small clan amount to? It canât be as much as my own private funds. Our Charlotte Familyâs inheritance has been passed down for so many years, and the wealth we accumulated far surpasses your imagination. Our heritage is so deep that even I canât figure it out. What you see will forever only be the tip of the iceberg.
âLet me tell you, that personâs so-called price is definitely not high enough to faze our Charlotte Family! Take the lead, we are going now. I canât wait to see that Mafa Merlin dead!â
Brown was a little helpless. He wanted to say something, but he couldnât bear it.
They secretly left the territory of the Charlotte Family together.
After walking for a while, Kans suddenly remembered that he didnât know who they were looking for. Soon, the path became more and more desolate, and he couldnât help asking, âBrown, who are we looking for? Why is it so desolate?â
Brown looked at the surroundings and vigilantly probed around. Only after confirming that there was no one around did he lower his voice to explain.
âYoung Master Kans, you must remember to be careful later. We are looking for a Gaugass Battlemage. You have to know that these people are highly prejudiced against our Oklandâs forces, especially mages. They are always hostile.â
This was the result of Brown thinking for a long time. If he used the power of the Family to handle Mafa Merlin, it had to be after the end of the general attack on the Raging Flame Plane. At this crucial time, all of Oklandâs forces with a territory in the Raging Flame Plane had come.
Former archenemies were restraining themselves and would at most prod at each other a bit. No one dared to cause trouble at such a time. Even if the Charlotte Family was angry, they absolutely couldnât make a move.
But Kans couldnât wait and wanted to act now, so Brown could only think of the Gaugass Battlemages.
Those armored fighting lunatics were naturally hostile towards mages from Okland. If he met these madmen outside, he would definitely be killed. In those days, they had been pushed back to the Gaugass Highland, so they had a very poor opinion of Oklandâs mages and would definitely not be lenient.
Moreover, Gaugass Battlemages naturally had an advantage over mages. Their battle techniques were simply born to suppress mages. They could cast, but they looked more like heavily armored swordsmen. In a 1vs1, a mage of the same rank wouldnât be their opponent. If they werenât so inferior in terms of number, they wouldnât have been pushed back to the Gaugass Highland.
Brown especially warned Kans, but Kans didnât really care and only smiled.
âHaha, turns out it was them, very good! I had been worried the person you found wouldnât be able to get rid of Mafa Merlin. There is no need to worry now, and the price wonât matter as long as they agree to make a move...â
Seeing Kansâ appearance, Brown couldnât help worrying about it.
It didnât take too long for Brown to lead Kans to a remote camp. The camp was almost merging with the surroundings. From afar, one couldnât even see that there was a camp there. Just as they reached the entrance of the camp, they were immediately surrounded by a group of spear-wielding Gaugass Battlemages wearing heavy armor with helmets.
âDonât attack, we came looking for Sir Kempes for business!â Brown shouted. They were then led into the camp, surrounded by a team of Gaugass Battlemages.
They entered one of the tents, and inside of it was sitting an armored, middle-aged man without a helmet. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked extremely sharp. When he saw Kans and Brown, his expression wasnât pleasant in the least. It looked as if he had seen a hated foe.
Kans carelessly walked in and started talking to Kempes. âYou are a Gaugass Battlemage? I want you to kill someone, how strong are you? If you are strong enough, Iâll pay a great price...â
Before Kans finished his sentence, Brownâs face turned a bit green. Sure enough, Kempes, who had been drinking alcohol and eating meat, suddenly glared at them.
âGet lost!â
Kansâ expression became unsightly. He pointed at Kempes and cursed, âDamn b*stard, who do you think you are talking to? The young master of the Charlotte Family is standing in front of you! If you werenât potentially a bit useful to me, do you think I would have come to such a desolate area? Hell, there isnât even a sparrow here. A country bumpkin like you dares...â
Kans kept chattering, but he didnât get to finish his words before Kempes jumped towards him from behind the table.
Kans sneered, and a Runic Shield instantly rose, but Kempes didnât seem to have seen it. A ball of light condensed in his huge hand as he ruthlessly smashed it against the Runic Shield.
Fierce mana fluctuations rose up as Kansâ Runic Shield instantly shattered like glass. Kempesâ large hand caught Kansâ neck and carried him up with one hand before throwing him to the ground.
A loud sound echoed as Kans spurted a mouthful of blood. He felt as if all his bones were broken, and his eyes were filled with an unfathomable expression.
âDamnit, damn b*stard! This barbarian actually shattered my Runic Shield with one hand, he actually dared to do this to me...â
Kans didnât have time to speak, and Brown was extremely pale. âThat scoundrel, he forgot my reminder! These Gaugass Battlemages arenât easy to get along with. The Charlotte Family is also considered a mage clan of Okland, so there isnât much difference between us and the others in the eyes of these Gaugass Battlemages.
âTo dare to speak like that to a Gaugass Battlemage in his territory, isnât that just stupid?â
Brown didnât doubt that Kempes would dare to get rid of both of them here. Seeing that Kempes still wanted to go further, he promptly apologized.
âSir Kempes, please be lenient, please be lenient, we can always discuss this! Young Master Kans has always been admiring Gaugass Battlemages, he was just a bit excited, please donât mind his actions. This time, the person we want dealt with is a bit hard for others to handle, but it should be very simple for Sir Kempes...
âThat person has been frequently going into the Poison Mist Valley in the past few days. Others wouldnât dare to go, but there shouldnât be a problem for Sir Kempes, and no one would know if you killed that person there. Moreover, besides Sir Kempes, no one can use their full strength there.
âAs for what you need, just ask, and we will definitely satisfy you...â
