This was where Lin Yun didn't understand this kind of Family.
This kind of Family was maintained by bloodline. Compared to ordinary forces, they were more greedy and xenophobic. They were used to controlling everything in their hands.
For them, the fact that they had to obtain the Nether Iron Ores through transactions would bring about a deep sense of crisis.
In contrast, they were more willing to personally control the Nether Iron Vein.
This was a common problem with all Families. The Merlin Family was like this, the Watson Family was like this, and even the Monchi Family of Thousand Sails City was like this.
"I can give you a chance." Leon Merlin looked at the other side's unsightly expression and felt that it was about time, so he extended the olive branch he had already prepared.
"What?" Lin Yun was secretly thinking about how to teach the Merlin Family a lesson when he suddenly heard the word "chance". He looked at Leon Merlin with some doubt.
"I can let you return to the Merlin Family, and I can also let you keep the Nether Iron Vein …"
"Haha …" This time, Lin Yun heard it clearly.
It turned out that this Leon Merlin was trying to recruit him!
Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 'How come the level is getting lower and lower? The one who tried to recruit me in the alchemy laboratory was Star Sage Joy, so how come a 1st Rank High Mage is trying to recruit me after two hours? '
"Moreover, after returning to the Merlin Family, you can directly work under me and manage my finances and operations …" After saying that, Leon Merlin looked at William Merlin with a domineering expression. "You can ask William, my circle isn't open to just anyone."
"I …" William Merlin suddenly wanted to curse.
'Damn, can you not drag me into this if you want to die?
What financial management and operations? Aren't you just interested in the Gilded Rose's wealth?
'Really …'
'Those old geezers of the Elder Council are only thinking about the Nether Iron Vein, but you are actually thinking about the entire Gilded Rose. Do you think the person in front of you is easy to talk to?'
I beg you, please don't say anymore …
'Take a look, the expression of that person in front of you is already very unsightly. If you keep talking like this, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to leave the Gilded Rose in one piece …'
Unfortunately, Leon Merlin didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all. He just glanced over here, then turned his attention to Lin Yun again. He said domineeringly, "I've already given you a chance. It's up to you to grasp it."
"Well, High Mage Leon, I want to ask …"
"Hmm?" Leon Merlin suddenly frowned. He looked at Lin Yun with some dissatisfaction, thinking, 'This Mafa Merlin doesn't seem to be very tactful. I gave him such a good treatment, yet he's still making excuses.'
'It looks like people from a small place like Thousand Sails City don't know when to stop.
He most likely saw that I was easy to talk to, so he wanted to raise some conditions … '
This made Leon Merlin very dissatisfied.
In Leon Merlin's eyes, a subordinate should act like a subordinate. 'You can naturally take what I give you, but you're not putting me in your eyes by asking for it yourself.'
As he thought of this, Leon Merlin's frown deepened. Although he didn't say anything, he had already decided that once he completely subdued this Mafa Merlin, he would definitely teach him a profound lesson. He would make him understand that no one liked a subordinate who reached out to ask for things.
"I want to ask, are you awake?"
"What?" Leon Merlin suddenly froze. This question was different from what he had expected, and why did it sound so awkward?
"I mean, if you haven't woken up yet, I can introduce you to a few inns. You can sleep there until you wake up …" Lin Yun directly clapped his hands and stood up from his chair. He didn't care about Leon Merlin's reaction as he directly called William Merlin over. "Cousin, help me take care of High Mage Leon, I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. Moreover, next time a sleepy guest like High Mage Leon comes, remember to book a room at the Oak Inn and let them wake up before coming over …"
"Good, good, good …" William Merlin kept nodding while greeting Leon Merlin's entire family. 'Damn, I provoked you, why did you drag me down with you? Not only did you provoke him, but you also caused me to be scolded … '
'But forget it, this guy's temper is pretty good today. It's already rare that he didn't become hostile on the spot. I'll see that we are both surnamed Merlin, I'll suffer a bit and send you out in one piece …'
"Mafa Merlin, what kind of attitude is that?" But before William Merlin could say anything, Leon Merlin directly flared up. That High Mage slammed his palm on the long table, almost knocking over a few cups.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive …" William Merlin saw this and didn't care that this was the future Patriarch of the Merlin Family. He directly grabbed Leon Merlin's arm and desperately urged, "Leon, Leon, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive …"
"Let go."
"If you have something to say, say it, don't ever say it …"
"I'm telling you to let go." Leon Merlin coldly looked at him. "William Merlin, pay attention to your status. Speaking up for an outsider will affect my evaluation of you …"
William Merlin almost cried on the spot.
'F * ck your evaluation, I'm trying to save you, don't you know that? You still want me to pay attention to my status? If I really paid attention to my status, I would have immediately let go and let you hit the table and curse at me. Then, you would know why Raven and Allen Watson seemed to have disappeared after returning to Okland.
They were all frightened by this person …
Unfortunately, Leon Merlin didn't know about this. Although his arm was being pulled by William Merlin, he still said to Lin Yun's back, "Mafa Merlin, I'm telling you, you'll regret refusing me today sooner or later. It won't be long before Obi Merlin comes to take over your Nether Iron Vein. I'll see who can help you then."
'It's over, it's over …'
William Merlin felt his vision darken when he heard this.
"Oh?" Sure enough, Lin Yun, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around. "You're saying that the Merlin Family will send someone over?"
"Haha, you are truly naive. You don't think that you can protect a priceless Nether Iron Vein with your power as a 5th Rank Great Mage, do you? Let me tell you, stop dreaming. Without my protection, let alone the Nether Iron Vein, you might not even be able to protect your Gilded Rose … "
"What you said is reasonable …" Lin Yun nodded and then extended his hand.
In an instant, it was as if a huge vortex had appeared in the reception room. Leon Merlin didn't have time to understand what was going on before he involuntarily threw himself in front of Lin Yun. Lin Yun only raised his hand and grabbed Leon Merlin's neck.
"You … What are you doing!" Leon Merlin was startled and promptly roused his mana, wanting to resist this frightening power.
Unfortunately, just as Leon Merlin's mana was roused, it was suppressed by an even more formidable mana. Then, Leon Merlin was alarmed to discover that the mana he was so proud of was like a child at this moment. It simply couldn't contend against that frightening mana.
'How … How could this be!'
Leon Merlin almost went crazy on the spot. 'How could this be? I am a genuine High Mage, how could I not be able to retaliate against a 5th Rank Great Mage?'
"I want you to bring a message back."
After Lin Yun said that, he suddenly chanted a mysterious incantation. Leon Merlin suddenly felt as if the mana within his body had been imprisoned by some power. No matter how he roused it, it didn't show any signs of flowing.
'This, this, this … What's going on?'
Leon Merlin's eyes were filled with endless fear. The mana he had painstakingly accumulated for over twenty years had now been imprisoned. In an instant, he had fallen from a High Mage to an ordinary person. This sudden huge contrast made Leon Merlin panic and despair.
'Isn't this Mafa Merlin a 5th Rank Great Mage?
How could this be … '
'How could a 5th Rank Great Mage have such frightening mana? He can actually suppress a High Mage in an instant. Moreover, what was that incantation he just chanted? How could it suddenly seal my mana?'
An esteemed High Mage actually became an ordinary person in an instant. That feeling of his life in someone else's hands thoroughly shattered Leon Merlin's dignified facade. This young High Mage showed an alarmed expression for the first time. When he spoke again, his voice was even trembling.
"W-w-w-what … What are you saying?"
"Go back and tell the Merlin Family that when the shackles on your body can be removed, they can stop thinking about that Nether Iron Vein."
After saying that, Lin Yun let go of his right hand that was grabbing Merlin's neck. After carefully patting the dust off his face, he pushed open the door to the reception room and left. But before leaving, he told William Merlin, "Cousin, remember to help me take High Mage Leon to the Oak Inn to rest."
