What Cromwell couldn't stand the most was the attitude of these damned mages. That condescending and contemptuous smile almost drove Cromwell crazy on the spot. He couldn't accept that the people who used to suck up to him could now smile so contemptuously in front of him.
Cromwell couldn't remember how he got through the morning.
He squeezed out a smile to show goodwill again and again, only to be met with cold eyes.
It wasn't until just now that he finally saw Kevin.
Cromwell, who had dealt with Kevin a few times before, knew that if there was an honest person in the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, it must be Kevin in front of him. In Cromwell's opinion, honest people were always easier to talk to.
"Mage Kevin, long time no see!"
"Uh … Long time no see, Mr Cromwell." Kevin felt a headache coming on as soon as he saw Cromwell. If possible, he really wanted to change the greeting to "You'd better not see me!"
Unfortunately, he had already seen him. Cromwell, who was in a desperate situation, didn't care whether he was willing or not. He rushed up and shook hands with Kevin desperately. "Long time no see, long time no see …"
As for Lin Li, who was at the side, he was naturally ignored.
In Cromwell's mind, now that Gerian was seriously ill, the person in charge of the Guild of Magic would naturally be his nephew, Kevin. If he did not try to win over the person in charge of the Guild of Magic, would he have nothing better to do than chat with a mage in dire straits? Besides, as the heir of the Merlin Family, Cromwell couldn't afford to take the initiative to greet a low-level mage.
Cromwell's expression fell into Lin Li's eyes. How could he not know what Lin Li was thinking …
But it was good to be ignored, lest he came up to him with a smiling face, and Cromwell would be too embarrassed to find trouble with him in the future.
Cromwell had thought of an excuse before he came, but he had kept it in his stomach for the whole morning. He almost suffered an internal injury. Now that he had finally caught Kevin, how could he give him a chance to resist? Ever since he grabbed Kevin with both hands, the fellow had never let go. They talked about their childhood friendship, all the way to the long and deep friendship between the Merlin Family and the Guild of Magic.
This bombardment of words and favors caused Kevin to feel drowsy and miserable.
"To be honest, Big Brother Kevin, I really admire you. Father used to tell me that Big Brother Kevin was the only young man in Jarrosus City who was more talented in magic than me. I didn't quite believe it then. It wasn't until last year, when Big Brother Kevin broke through to level-eight that I realized Father's judgment was right …"
Upon hearing this, even an honest person like Kevin couldn't help but want to curse. You motherf * cker, don't you know not to hit someone in the face?
Kevin looked at Lin Li guiltily. He thought to himself, Did breaking through to level-8 scare you? If you knew that this person had broken through to the eighth level after just three months of exposure to magic, wouldn't you be scared out of your wits? Not to mention you, even if your father saw that crystal that had been shining for 28 minutes, he would probably be scared out of his wits on the spot …
Praising me as a magic genius in front of this person, aren't you pushing me into a pit of fire?
When the sun was about to set, Kevin finally saw the light. He waited until Cromwell asked about Gerian.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The President has been overworked recently, so much so that he's not feeling too well. He's now recuperating in the Emerald Tower." When he said this, Kevin was extremely agitated. It was as if the races that had been enslaved for thousands of years at the end of the Dark Ages had suddenly seen the dawn of victory.
"That's a pity …" Cromwell's expression was pained. "Can I go see him? Father asked me to bring him a small gift when I went out this morning. "
Kevin had been tortured for the whole afternoon, and he had finally heard this sentence …
"Visit? Oh … I'm really sorry, President Gerian is really seriously ill this time, and it's a malignant infectious disease. If you get infected too, our conscience will be uneasy. Why don't you go back first and come back in a few days? "
Kevin had repeated this sentence at least a thousand times in the past two days, but he had never said it as happily as he did now. He said it without any psychological burden, and was not worried that he would talk in his sleep at night. There was even a sense of relief in his heart after he said it …
"…"
The smile on Cromwell's face froze. He had never thought that the words he had carefully prepared, the smiles and flattery he had been waiting for would end up like this. For a moment, Cromwell stood there in a daze, his gaze on Kevin faintly dazed.
He could not understand why things had turned out this way …
"…" Even Lin Li, who was at the side, shook his head as he listened. The environment was really scary. Even an honest man like Kevin had been poisoned to the point of lying.
But this originally somewhat helpless smile seemed unspeakably ironic in Cromwell's eyes. The breath that had been stuck in his chest because of Kevin's rejection suddenly found an outlet to vent …
"What are you laughing at!" Cromwell's fair face was badly distorted, and his pair of red eyes were fixed on Lin Li. His demeanor and expression were as if he wanted to skin Lin Li alive.
"Mr Cromwell …" Kevin, who had been in a good mood just now, had never thought that things would suddenly develop to this point. By the time he reacted and wanted to stop it, it was too late. Cromwell's gaze was fierce, his expression twisted, and his agitated saliva had even sprayed on Lin Li's face …
"It's over …" Kevin knew it was going to be bad when he thought of the two unlucky fellows outside the Jarrosus Exchange. The two of them had been together for so long, and he had figured out Lin Li's character. This young mage's character was exactly the same as Gerian's. As long as he was not provoked, anything could be said. But once this fellow was provoked, he was absolutely merciless. He would not move, but once he moved, he would definitely kill.
Although there was some friction between the Guild of Magic and the Merlin Family, they were, after all, the two largest forces in Jarrosus City. If anything happened to Cromwell here, Kevin dared not imagine how chaotic Jarrosus City would be …
"Do you have any manners at all? The content of my conversation with Mage Kevin is a secret between the Merlin Family and the Guild of Magic. What is your identity? You've only been in the Guild of Magic for a few days, and you've already forgotten your surname? How dare you eavesdrop on such a secret? Why don't you get lost now? " What gave Kevin the biggest headache was that Cromwell had no idea what he was doing, and was still clamoring recklessly.
