'You were caught red-handed this time …
'Let's see how you quibble!'
Orson stood not far away, sneering as he looked at Lin Yun crouching next to the Wyvern King's corpse. After saying those words, he didn't forget to raise his hand to cast a water spell to record the scene of Lin Yun holding the "stolen goods".
'This branch member of the Merlin Family is too courageous, daring to touch the loot of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, is he tired of living? In all of Okland, the number of people who dared to steal from the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group could be counted on two hands.
'Sure enough, he's just an inexperienced branch member.
If he understood the stakes, he wouldn't be so stupid as to court death. 'Moreover, that damned Mafa Merlin is too arrogant, doing such a shameful thing in the open. Doesn't he know how many experts there are in the camp? Let alone High Mages and Archmages, just the saliva of those Great Mages and Expert Swordsmen would be enough to drown him.
'Now that I ran into him, I have to ruthlessly teach him a lesson and teach him how to write the word "death"!'
"I already knew that you were a despicable and shameless person who would do anything for benefits … But I hadn't expected you to be this shameless!" Orson pointed at Lin Yun, his face red with anger as he roared, "If I hadn't killed that Black Forest Python at the edge of the Traces of Misfortune, would you still be alive now? Let's not mention the matter of you coveting the magic materials of the Black Forest Python, we both know about it. "
"Yilu deliberately distorted the truth to help you defend your pitiful dignity. Hmpf, you shouldn't be naive enough to think that Yilu was deceived by your lies, right? Truly ridiculous, only an idiot would believe such a shoddy lie."
"Now, I'll give you two choices. First, put down the loot you stole and f * ck off, preferably never appearing in front of our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group again. Second, continue to be obstinate and become our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's enemy. But I think that if you're not stupid, you'll ignore the second option, because once you do that, you'll definitely not be able to leave alive … "
Orson's face was cold as he looked at Lin Yun with a mocking expression.
Everything was under his control.
Even if that damned Mafa Merlin was willing to admit his mistake and hand over the loot he had stolen, he would not let him off easily. Anyway, he had the evidence in his hands and had a hundred ways to punish him …
"Hehe …"
Lin Yun acted as if he didn't understand Orson's words. He quickly put away the Wyvern King's blood and slowly got up. He only chuckled and didn't say anything else. He didn't want to waste his breath on an idiot. Moreover, that idiot liked to interrupt others, showing how lacking his manners were. Who knew if he would be interrupted again if he said anything else … Moreover, the Vice Leader of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group didn't say anything when he took what was supposed to be taken, so how could that idiot be the one to criticize him?
"Mafa Merlin, what is the meaning of this …"
Orson almost spat blood as he looked at Lin Yun in disbelief. 'That damned guy is actually laughing at me.'
'How could he be like this …
'I have the evidence of his crimes, shouldn't he be begging for forgiveness?'
'Not only is he not begging for forgiveness, but he's even more unscrupulously stealing the loot.
'This is illogical!'
"Mafa Merlin, I'll tell you, that damned identity as a branch member of the Merlin Family won't protect you! Do you believe that I'll kill you now? Laughable 2nd Rank High Mage, you are simply pitifully weak … I'll tell you, killing you would be in vain, the Merlin Family wouldn't look into it. Who told you to be a branch member without any status! "
"I believe, I believe that you will soon run out of luck …" Lin Yun frowned.
"You will die before I run out of luck …"
A bone-chilling sneer appeared on Orson's face. At the same time, powerful mana fluctuations rose from his body as he raised his magic staff. He didn't even spare Lin Yun a glance as he started casting.
"Orson!"
But at this time, a familiar voice came from behind. Orson frowned before interrupting his casting and impatiently turning his head. But then, his eyes shone. "Leon, why are you here …"
Leon Merlin's status wasn't ordinary. He was one of the three outstanding geniuses of the Merlin Family. He had reached the High Mage realm at such a young age and was very famous in Okland. Moreover, Leon Merlin came from the Cloud Tower. This meant that Leon Merlin had two first-rate forces of Okland standing behind him.
The Merlin Family and the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group had more or less cooperated. Although Orson was an extremely arrogant genius, Leon Merlin wasn't weak either. After coming in contact once or twice, he established a pretty good relationship with Leon Merlin. But Orson was a bit puzzled. 'Why did Leon Merlin come to the Tulan Mountain Range?'
"Leon, you came at the right time …"
Orson fiercely glared at Lin Yun before smiling at Leon Merlin. "Leon, I have a very important matter to tell you. This is related to the reputation of your Merlin Family."
"Ah?" Leon Merlin was clearly stunned. He hadn't expected that a random friend he met would mention the family's reputation to him.
"You still don't know? Your Merlin Family has a scum!" Orson sneered. He didn't forget to provoke Lin Yun a few times before continuing, "I met that guy in the Traces of Misfortune. At that time, he was almost killed by a level 25 Black Forest Python, but I promptly saved him. But he was too greedy, he actually wanted the magic materials of the Black Forest Python. Leon, I didn't bicker with that guy out of consideration for your Merlin Family and kindly brought him back to camp … "
"Hold on, you mean … Cousin Mafa, Orson, you …" In a flash, Leon Merlin was so scared that he turned deathly pale, his whole body drenched in cold sweat. 'Don't be so provocative. 'Sh * t, Orson, you really don't want to live. Of all people, you provoked Cousin Mafa, and you even called him a scum of the Merlin Family. Don't you know that you are courting death!?
'A level 25 Black Forest Python can kill Cousin Mafa?' Leon Merlin felt that this joke wasn't funny at all. Cousin Mafa's Gilded Rose monopolized the alchemy business in the eastern part of the kingdom. The Gilded Rose was a money-making machine that even the Elders of the Family were jealous of! Cousin Mafa himself even squandered 37 million golds in an auction. How could he be interested in the magic materials of an insignificant level 25 magic beast? Ridiculous.
But Leon Merlin couldn't laugh. Things had already reached this point. Even an idiot could guess what had happened. Orson and Mafa Merlin definitely had some disagreements.
After all, Orson was his friend, and he couldn't just watch him run into trouble.
But just as Leon Merlin was about to say a few words, he was mercilessly interrupted by Orson.
"Leon, listen to me first, this matter is quite complicated …" Orson earnestly looked at Leon Merlin, but he didn't notice that Leon Merlin's face was a bit pale and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
In his eyes, Leon had a transcendent status in the Merlin Family. Not only was he one of the three geniuses, but he was also very likely to become the Patriarch in the future, and he was also an Elder of the Merlin Family.
If a branch member of the Merlin Family made a mistake, he would be the most suitable person to look for …
Moreover, he could take the opportunity to humiliate Mafa Merlin, that guy who didn't know what was good for him. He was afraid that Mafa Merlin would be scared to death after seeing how close he was with Leon Merlin.
He deserved to be scared to death. Who asked him to be so arrogant …
"Leon, you should know that our three mercenary groups were attacked by tens of thousands of Wyverns tonight, and there were countless casualties. Everyone was resisting the Wyverns, but do you know what Mafa Merlin is doing? Not only is he not fighting the Wyverns, he's actually stealing our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's spoils of war. Yes, you didn't hear wrong, he's that daring …"
"Orson, Cousin Mafa is a very upright person, you must have misunderstood him …" Although he had been interrupted by that idiot, Orson was still his friend, and he couldn't just watch him seek his own death. Thus, Leon Merlin gave him a meaningful glance while patiently persuading him, "It must be a misunderstanding, it must be …"
Leon Merlin was in a bad mood. 'F * ck, Orson, you idiot, I'm saving you! What happened tonight has to be a misunderstanding, and even if it isn't, I have to say that it is, or else you'll be in big trouble … '
"Misunderstanding?"
A sinister sneer appeared on Orson's face. It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. With a hint of anger in his voice, he said, "Leon, I know exactly what you're thinking, and I can understand it. As an important member of the Merlin Family, you naturally have to take care of the Family's reputation. If it were me, I would also do the same … Rest assured, I'll help the Merlin Family keep this matter a secret.
"But Mafa Merlin's actions can't be easily forgiven. Leon, you are my friend, so I have to give you some face. How about we settle this in private?"
In Orson's eyes, he had already given Merlin Leon enough face, and this was undoubtedly the best solution for the Merlin Family.
"Settle it in private? Cousin Mafa didn't do anything wrong, High Mage Orson, please don't talk nonsense … "
Leon Merlin 'expression turned cold.' F * ck, is there a friend like you, Orson? Courting death is fine, but you want to drag me in? Can this be considered a friend?
'Friend my ass!
Is Cousin Mafa someone you can provoke? You don't know how frightening the Elder Meeting was, I can't help but break out in cold sweat when I think about it. You must have heard of Hoyer, one of the three geniuses of the Merlin Family, and an Elder with a Sword Saint as his father. His status and strength aren't inferior to Orson's, but he is now a cripple … '
