Allen Watson's brows slowly furrowed.
'This is going too far!'
A trace of anger could be seen in Allen Watson's eyes as he looked at Lin Yun. As a High Mage, he had never spoken to a Great Mage with such an attitude and such a tone. This was unprecedented.
He didn't even look into the matter between him and Raven.
It had to be known that Rui Wen was his only son. His only son had been bullied in Thousand Sails City, but as his father, he hadn't helped him out. Instead, he had just casually said a few words to put an end to the conflict between the two.
Had it been any other Great Mage, they would have already died ten times over!
Allen Watson asked himself if he was being sincere.
But that young Great Mage seemed to have mistaken his sincerity for weakness.
Lin Yun kept reminding him that handing over the Nether Iron Vein would not only be able to let bygones be bygones, but he would also be able to gain the friendship of the Watson Family. But in the eyes of this Great Mage, these reminders turned into requests. In the end, Lin Yun even told him that the consequences of deceiving a High Mage were very serious.
'He actually threatened me!
That's right, an undisguised threat!
He actually wanted me to go to the Silver Moon Mercenaries for an explanation! '
At that time, Allen Watson thought that he had misheard. 'That young Great Mage wants me to go to the Silver Moon Mercenaries for an explanation?
Does he think that the Gilded Rose and the Silver Moon Mercenaries becoming allies can disregard the existence of the Watson Family?
Ridiculous … '
Although the Silver Moon Mercenaries were known as the number one mercenary group of Thousand Sails City, they were nothing in the eyes of the Watson Family. The Watson Family had been operating in Okland for millennia, even longer than the history of the Kingdom of Andalusia. If not for the sudden rise of the Merlin Family in the last millennium, the Watson Family would have already become the number one Family of the kingdom.
The influence of the Silver Moon Mercenaries was limited to Thousand Sails City. Once they left Thousand Sails City, how many people would have heard of the Silver Moon Mercenaries?
No matter how powerful Sasu was, he couldn't change this fact.
Wanting to use the Silver Moon Mercenaries to threaten the Watson Family, this was simply ridiculous!
'Moreover, you are only an ally.
Do you really think that your ally would fall out with the Watson Family for the Gilded Rose?
Allen Watson glanced at Lin Yun, disdain visible in his eyes. 'It looks like I really need to let this young Great Mage know the cruel reality. Otherwise, he would think that the Watson Family and Allen Watson can be offended at will.'
"It seems that Master Merlin is determined to go against the Watson family?"
"Haha, High Mage Allen, your words are a bit wrong. I'm only running the Gilded Rose for business. Anyone can buy the Gilded Rose's alchemy items, how could I go against them?"
"Haha, good, good, good …" Allen Watson stared at Lin Yun with an ice-cold gaze and an ice-cold smile. After saying "good" a few times, he suddenly looked at William Merlin, who was standing next to Lin Yun. "Is this William of the Merlin Family?"
"What a coincidence, High Mage Allen." William Merlin saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he might as well use what he had learned and directly replied, "What a coincidence."
"Yes, William, what a coincidence …" The smile on Allen's face didn't change, but when he looked at William Merlin, his gaze seemed to carry an irresistible charm. It was only a glance, but it made William Merlin's face turn pale.
"You …" William Merlin was startled. This was a mind attack. It seemed like a casual glance, but it was actually a mind attack. If he wasn't careful, he would have turned into an idiot.
At this time, William Merlin couldn't help inwardly grumbling. 'I was just sitting there, how could I be targeted by that damned Allen Watson? Moreover, it was such a vicious mind attack. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to watch the fun …'
"High Mage Allen, you and Raven Watson are really father and son …" Lin Yun smiled and extended his left hand. The Soul Walker's light flashed on his ring finger, and Allen's mind attack was like a stone thrown into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
The Soul Walker was a genuine True Spirit Magic Tool. At its peak, its power was comparable to an Archmage, and the Magic Tool Incarnation, Lord Shaun, was a Soul Lifeform. He was naturally proficient in all kinds of soul methods. Although he only had a bit of power left, resisting a mind attack was nothing.
Allen's mind attack missed, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by a tough expression.
"Mafa Merlin, I see that you are determined to oppose the Watson Family. To tell you the truth, the Watson Family only has two kinds of people, friends and enemies. You can choose for yourself. Are you willing to be a friend of the Watson Family, or are you willing to be an enemy of the Watson Family? You only have one chance, and if you can't grasp it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Allen Watson slapped the table and stood up, his black robe fluttering in the reception room despite the lack of wind. A huge mana fluctuation instantly made everyone feel a suffocating pressure.
"I wonder what High Mage Allen plans to do?" Lin Yun also slowly stood up, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"Good, good, good …" Allen smiled as he said the word "good", thoroughly releasing the mana fluctuations of a High Mage. "Do you think that by defeating a 9th Rank Great Mage like Raven, you have the qualifications to challenge a High Mage? Do you think that with the Silver Moon Mercenaries as your ally, the Watson Family wouldn't dare to do anything? I'll let you see how wrong you are! "
Just as the mana fluctuations were released, Lin Yun's Elemental Incarnation was ready. With five Magic Arrays, Elemental Incarnation didn't just give Lin Yun immunity to magic damage, it also increased the power of his spells, and it wasn't just lightning speed anymore.
Now, under the Elemental Incarnation state, if Lin Yun burst out with all his strength, the power he would display would be no different from an Elemental lifeform.
It could be said that if this Elemental Incarnation was released, even a High Mage like Allen Watson would be torn to shreds in a short time.
This was also why Lin Yun dared to casually say in front of William Merlin, 'Two High Mages? Then I'll deal with them … '
Fortunately, a knock on the door saved Allen Watson.
Unfortunately, Allen Watson didn't know about this.
At this time, Allen Watson's mind was filled with thoughts on how to teach that arrogant young Great Mage a lesson, to let him know how huge the gap between a High Mage and a Great Mage was, to let him know that becoming an enemy of the Watson Family was the worst decision of his life.
The incantations were ready, the gestures were ready, the spells were ready …
In the end, a knock on the door interrupted everything.
At this time, Allen Watson simply couldn't restrain his anger. "Who's knocking?"
"Err, sorry …" Hogg cautiously poked his head in. "I'm looking for Great Mage Merlin."
After saying that, he glanced inside, afraid that Great Mage Merlin had an important guest visiting and would be interrupted by his arrival.
As a result, he saw Allen Watson, who was unable to restrain his anger. "High Mage Allen?"
The Cloud Tower and the Watson Family were both located in Okland, and there was no direct conflict of interest between them. They would even have some interactions from time to time, so it was normal for Hogg to know Allen Watson.
Naturally, it was just an acquaintance.
As a 9th Rank High Mage, Hogg was only one step away from being addressed as "Sir". Even in the Cloud Tower, he was a first-class existence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been selected by Star Sage Joy to research the Fanrusen Formula.
As for Allen Watson …
He had stepped into the High Mage realm three years ago, and he was only a 1st Rank High Mage now. In front of Hogg, he wasn't much stronger than a Great Mage. Not to mention that the Cloud Tower was one of the two major mage forces of the kingdom. Their strength was far from what the Watson Family could compare to.
Thus, when Allen saw Hogg, his expression froze. When he opened his mouth again, he was already tongue-tied. "Hohoho … High Mage Hogg, how come you are here?"
"I came to deliver a Magic Tool to Merlin."
"…" Allen suddenly held his breath. 'Come, come, come … Come to deliver a Magic Tool to Merlin?' 'Could it be that this Mafa Merlin is related to High Mage Hogg?'
Otherwise, why would High Mage Hogg give him a Magic Tool? If it was an ordinary relationship, who would give a Magic Tool to him?
Moreover, he called him "Merlin" so intimately. This wasn't something that could be done with an ordinary relationship. They were either friends on equal footing, or an elder addressing a junior.
Friends on equal footing definitely couldn't be …
In other words, this Mafa Merlin was most likely High Mage Hogg's junior!
'Heavens …'
Allen Watson paled. It would have been fine if it had been another High Mage, but this was High Mage Hogg, someone who was only a step away from calling him Sir Hogg. If Mafa Merlin really had such a backer, then his trip today would have been in vain.
Could it be that he would dare to force Mafa Merlin to submit in front of High Mage Hogg?
What a joke. Although they were both High Mages, how could Allen not know the huge gap between 1st Rank and 9th Rank? It was hardly an exaggeration to say that a 9th Rank High Mage's finger was more powerful than a 1st Rank High Mage's finger.
But how could this be …
