The restaurant suddenly became quiet. Hearing the complaints of Goodenia and Devoe outside, anger began to accumulate on everyone's faces. This was probably the so-called 'the guilty party cries out the victim first'.
"How dare these two try to twist the truth at a time like this? Do they think our Gray Temple is a pushover?" Brandli was fuming with rage as he strode out of the restaurant.
Barzel and the others also followed along with thunderous expressions. A 3rd-tier swordsman and a 3rd-tier magic caster had attacked a shop in the Aden Square in broad daylight. This was a blatant disregard for the authority of the Gray Temple, as well as the inspection office.
"Mr. Mak, was … was this really done by Amy?" Crassus wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he turned to Meg, and asked in a quiet voice.
"If you're talking about a fireball, then it was indeed done by Amy. Weren't you the one who taught her how to use an exploding fireball?" Meg turned to Crassus with a peculiar look on his face. Amy had gone to class the day before, and this morning, she had used an exploding fireball against the bronze wild boar. Meg had thought that Crassus had taught her how to use it the day before.
"I only briefly explained the principles of the Flame Blast spell to her yesterday, and I was planning to teach it to her today. Could it be that she learned it herself?" Crassus' eyes widened with surprise, but more than that, he was elated.
"There's no need to talk about my disciple's aptitude. It's just a Flame Blast spell, so what's there to be surprised about? Wait until she summons a Frost Dragon in a few days." Julian pursed his lips as he strode toward the door. He was also unable to conceal the elation in his eyes as he murmured to himself, Little Amy is extremely talented in fire magic, but I wonder how talented she is in ice magic?
"Heh, fire and ice don't mix. I think Amy will give up on ice magic soon. Fire magic casters are the best at melee combat," Crassus retorted as he followed Julian out of the restaurant.
"System, customize a door, but don't install it right away; I'll do it later." Meg made his way out of the restaurant with a calm expression. Things were progressing more smoothly than he had anticipated.
"Ding! 20 gold coins have been successfully deducted. Customizing the restaurant door … "The system's voice sounded. It was rare that it was not wrangling.
"Mr. Mak … you're amazing." Yabemiya looked at Mag's departing figure with a look of reverence on her face. She had thought that this was going to be a very bad situation, but Mag had easily resolved it with just a few words. Nothing had happened to the restaurant, but it was the people outside who were in trouble.
"He's very calm and meticulous. He must've thought everything through before he attacked, right?" Sally looked at Mag's departing figure with a hint of approval in her eyes.
Although Sally didn't like killing people, the guy in front of her was too disgusting. Sally also sensed a lot of evil aura from him, and even a bit of undead aura. This meant that he was definitely not a good person, and his hands were stained with the lives of innocent people.
Sally also saw the crazed look in his eyes when he looked at Amy. That was most likely why Meg had tried to kill him.
Sally didn't feel anything against Meg killing this guy. On her way to Chaos City, she had also killed a group of bandits who had slaughtered an elven village, and all of them had been killed by her arrows.
Goodenia and Devoe had just woken up after being treated by the magic caster named Bob. Their wounds had already stopped bleeding, and a thin layer of scabs had formed over their bodies. Their mental states were slightly better, but that was all that a 3rd-tier magic caster could do.
"We were only here to eat, but we were severely injured by that brat before we even entered the restaurant. You … You have to arrest her!" Goodenia's face was filled with horror. This was the first time he had been so close to death. When the fireball exploded next to his ear, he thought that death was already upon him.
"And that boss, he must have ordered that kid to do this. Gabriel is dead, he's dead! Didn't the Gray Temple say that they would protect us? Hurry up and arrest them! Protect me! " Devoe's expression was also similar. Deep fear had enveloped his heart. Even though he liked to see others being dominated by fear, he knew that it didn't feel good to be dominated by it himself.
When wealth and status couldn't give him a sense of security, his life could also be easily threatened. Devoe looked at the dead Gabriel lying in a pool of his own blood, and swore to himself that he would never come to this corner of the Aden Square again.
The Gray Temple was like a life-saving straw that the two of them were desperately trying to grasp onto. It gave them a sense of security, and they knew that the Gray Temple definitely wouldn't let them be killed.
"The Gray Temple will protect all citizens who abide by the law of the land, not bullies. Are you still trying to twist the truth?" Brandli made his way out of the restaurant, and turned to Goodenia and Devoe with a cold expression.
Goodenia and Devoe's expressions immediately changed upon hearing this. They didn't know what had just happened in the restaurant, but if that was the case, then it would be very difficult for them to get out of here alive.
"Master Brandli, I am … the owner of Devoe's Tavern and a board member of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. We've met at a banquet held by the chamber of commerce not long ago …" Devoe forced a fawning smile onto his face as he tried to worm his way into being friends with Brandli.
"Even if you're the president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, you'll still be severely punished by the law for what you did today." Brandli's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Devoe through narrowed eyes. "Also, I've met many people in Chaos City."
"I'm innocent! I'm innocent! We're just customers who came here to eat, and we didn't do anything … "Goodenia was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had wanted the Gray Temple to back them up, but it appeared that the Gray Temple was on Meg's side now.
"Look, Master!" Right at this moment, Barzel suddenly strode over to Gabriel's body, and pushed it over to reveal a black iron cross.
"That's a black iron cross!" Everyone from the Gray Temple looked at the five-centimeter-tall iron cross, and their expressions changed drastically. They then turned to Gabriel's body with rage and disgust in their eyes.
"What's that?" Brandli asked in a perplexed manner.
Meg was also looking at the iron cross with a curious expression. It seemed to have been cut from a sheet of black iron, and judging from the expressions of everyone from the Gray Temple, it seemed to be of some extraordinary origin.
"Not long ago, there were three cases of torture and murder in Chaos City. Two of the victims were children who were less than 10 years old. Their bodies were dismembered in an extremely cruel manner, and a black iron cross was left behind at the crime scenes." Barzel picked up the black iron cross from the ground, and said in a cold voice, "It's exactly the same as this one; it's a 4th-tier incident!"
