'Moreover, why are you looking at me like that?'
The more Lyos looked, the more strange he felt. 'What's wrong with this Larry? Ever since Mafa Merlin entered, he has been acting strangely, and now he's looking at me with that strange expression. Damn, why does it look like he's sympathizing with me …'
'Did that idiot Larry eat the wrong medicine?'
'Forget it, I'll ignore him for now.'
"That's right, compensation!" Lyos temporarily put aside Larry's abnormal behavior and looked down at Lin Yun with a condescending gaze. "The Gilded Rose's provocation has already touched the Viper Nest's bottom line. You have two choices now. One is to compensate, and the second is to become the Viper Nest's enemy.
"Hmm, I think compensation is better."
"You are smart." Hearing that the other side was willing to compensate, a victorious smile appeared on Lyos' face. Ever since Lin Yun entered the reception room, this Great Swordsman sat down for the first time.
"My request is very simple. Five Apprentice Alchemists, 200,000 gold each, a total of 1,000,000 gold. Moreover, I want those detained goods to appear outside Edge Rift before nightfall."
"Hold on, hold on …" The Great Swordsman had originally been very satisfied as he sat down, but as he listened to Lin Yun counting with his fingers, he felt that something was wrong. "What do you mean by compensation?"
"I say, Great Swordsman Lyos, you don't think that the Gilded Rose's people can be detained as you please, do you? Don't you know that the five people you detained are the best Apprentice Alchemists of the Gilded Rose? Each one of them can bring great benefits to the Gilded Rose. I'll give you 200,000 gold each, it really isn't much. "
"…" Larry was already holding his forehead, thinking, 'I knew it would be like this …'
"Hold on, you are saying that you want the Viper Nest to compensate the Gilded Rose with a million gold?" Lyos listened for a long time before finally reacting.
"What else?"
"Mafa Merlin, you are courting death!" Lyos leapt to his feet, his originally fierce face contorted in anger, becoming even more sinister.
"Lyos, don't be impulsive …" Larry hurriedly pulled the Great Swordsman back when he saw that the situation wasn't right.
"Get lost!"
How could a 9th Rank Mage stop an enraged Great Swordsman? With a wave of Lyos's hand, Larry was pushed into the wall.
Following that, Lyos grabbed the enchanted greatsword at his side. His aura surged, and like a bolt of lightning, the greatsword split apart the long table in the middle of the conference room. The rippling aura swept through the room like a hurricane, instantly shattering a dozen chairs.
This was the power of a Great Swordsman.
Compared to Swordsmen who only relied on their bodies to fight, a Great Swordsman with Aura was simply an existence on a different level. When cultivated to the peak of Aura, it could be said to be invincible. Even a hard rock wouldn't be much stronger than a piece of tofu in front of a Great Swordsman with Aura, not to mention the tables and chairs in the conference room.
Lyos' sword in rage could be said to have displayed the power of Aura to its fullest.
On the other hand, Lin Yun didn't move at all.
"The Viper Nest will also compensate you for the things you broke …"
"You are courting death!" The enraged Rios' face distorted after hearing Lin Yun's words. That long scar became even more conspicuous because of the congested blood. It looked like a red centipede was crawling on his face.
The greatsword that had just fallen was raised once again.
And this time, its target wasn't a table or a chair, but rather, Lin Yun, who was less than ten meters away.
The surging Aura was like a tidal wave as it crazily battered everything in its surroundings. Even the walls of the conference room let out creaking sounds as cracks started to spread on them. Crimson Aura coiled around the greatsword, and Rios bellowed as the greatsword heavily slashed down with the faint sound of thunder.
At this time, even Larry's expression couldn't help changing.
Although Larry was a 9th Rank Mage, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist when facing a Great Swordsman using his Aura. Even if it was just the aftermath of a Great Swordsman's uncontrollable Aura, Larry had no choice but to raise a Magic Shield to ensure that he wouldn't collapse.
This wasn't a power that a Mage could resist.
Only a Great Mage could contend against a Great Swordsman.
The greatsword covered in Aura heavily fell down, but Lin Yun remained motionless. He only softly chanted a short incantation. The incantation was very short, and his voice was very soft. Amidst the whistling sound of the greatsword, that incantation sounded as if he was talking in his sleep.
However, it was this incantation that sounded like a dream that made the entire world fall silent all of a sudden.
The giant sword that was descending like a thunderbolt suddenly stopped, as if there was an invisible hand in the air that grabbed the giant sword tightly.
No, it wasn't just the greatsword …
Even Lyos, who had raised his greatsword, suddenly froze. His expression was still sinister, and his Aura was still surging, but his entire body was motionless. Only beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead. That feeling was truly strange. He was clearly standing there motionless, but he seemed to be struggling with all his might.
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
There was no Great Swordsman's roar, nor was there any raging Aura. Instead, there was a suffocating pressure.
The source of the pressure was the young mage who had been sitting there, not moving at all from start to finish.
"I said that everything you break will be compensated by the Viper Nest." Lin Yun slowly stood up with a smile on his face, but his gaze towards Lyos made the Great Swordsman shiver from head to toe.
That was a gaze that was extremely calm …
There was no cruel coldness, nor was there a perverted excitement.
However, such a gaze wasn't something a living person should have when looking at another living person. In Rios' memories, only a true butcher would have such a calm gaze when looking at a living person.
'Who is this Mafa Merlin …'
Lyos really wanted to open his mouth and ask, but he couldn't even do such a simple thing right now. In fact, Lyos had already felt an irresistible force attack him after that dream-like incantation. Not only did this force stop his greatsword in midair, it also bound his body in an instant.
Right now, he couldn't even move a finger, let alone speak.
Although he could still think, his body had already gone out of control.
The only thing Lyos could do was look on helplessly.
He watched as that young Mage extended his right hand and his body slowly floated in the air.
Then, Lyos felt an irresistible force tightly gripping his neck, lifting him higher and higher, and tightening its grip.
Lyos wanted to struggle and call for help, but he couldn't move, let alone struggle or call for help.
Despair and fear filled Lyos' heart. At this moment, what Great Swordsman? What Viper Nest? What Great Swordsman? Everything was thrown to the back of Lyos' mind. If he could, Lyos would rather have never entered this meeting room and raised his greatsword.
At this time, Lyos finally understood why Larry's expression had been so strange from start to finish.
That was because the person sitting on the other side of the long table was a Great Mage. Moreover, he was a powerful Great Mage who could easily kill a Great Swordsman.
He had actually raised his greatsword in front of such a Great Mage …
Lyos wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only let that invisible hand lift him higher and tighter. In a daze, Lyos already felt dizzy from suffocation, and the shadow of death was getting closer and closer.
"Go back and tell Sauss to prepare 2,000,000 gold." Just as Lyos thought that he was going to die, Lin Yun gently swung his right hand.
In a flash, Lyos felt as if he had been fired from a cannon and was sent flying. The walls of the meeting room simply couldn't stop that frightening power. Lyos only felt pain as the walls of the meeting room were directly smashed through.
After a moment of dizziness, Lyos was already lying on the spacious Victorious Return Street.
At this time, Lyos felt intense pain all over his body, as if every bone in his body had been crushed by a boulder. He simply couldn't find a place that wasn't painful. But Lyos didn't care about that at this time. He was taking deep breaths of air, as if he wouldn't be able to walk out of his despair and fear if he didn't do so.
"Well, Larry …" After throwing the Great Swordsman out of the Gilded Rose, Lin Yun turned to look at the terrified 9th Rank Mage.
Being looked at by Lin Yun, the originally dull 9th Rank Mage suddenly jumped up from the ground and quickly answered with astonishing agility, "I know, I'll immediately clean it up!"
"Very good …"
