White Head Harbor…

A boat with neon lights and a bar on it was docked at the harbor. It was a relatively famous bar at White Head Harbor. The people in nearby cities often came to gather there.

On the deck was a table with eight chairs. It was currently seated with a man with an afro in a coat, and a man dressed in fancy clothes like a noble.

The afro man was smoking a cigar. A woman in a bunny outfit was serving him and massaging his shoulders. He placed his legs on the table, his boots stained with mud and blood within inches from the face of the man dressed in luxury clothes. He said with a smile, ”Mayor Lauren, I thought we could easily come to a deal today. My brothers will soon become your loyal Magicians, but from what I know, some of my men were sent to prison by your subordinates a few days ago...”

”Didn't you give me your word that your men would behave? They were arrested by a Hunter Master, he's not my subordinate,” replied Lauren with a smile.

”I don't care. I only have so many men, they are willing to listen to me because I care about them. But now, my men are imprisoned in your cells, and are going to be delivered to the Sacred Hall of Liberty. If I still proceed to make a deal with you despite what happened, how am I going to explain it to my men?” Casso said.

”It's not really a big problem. I knew you're going to ask for them, so in order to express our sincerity, I've already released them,” said Lauren.

”That's more like it!” Casso smiled. The menacing look on his face faded away.

”Does that mean we've come to a deal?” Lauren asked.

”For now, I must see the revocation of the bounty on our heads first. After all, my men might have done some wrong things before. Without the revocation, the people of the Sacred Hall of Liberty and the Hunter Alliance will never stop troubling us. I don't want to see anyone bringing the heads of my men to you, demanding rewards,” Casso demanded.

”The revocation won't come any time soon.”

”That's fine, I have plenty of time to wait. Besides, we aren't really tired of what we used to do yet,” Casso smiled back.

Lauren's face turned pale. He said in a softened voice, ”Fine, I'll try my best to request it for you, but the next Red Tide is coming soon...”

”Mayor, don't you worry about that. Since I'm now the general of White Head City, I won't let some little monsters disrupt the peace of our city, HAHAHA!” Casso burst out laughing.

Casso's laugh was still echoing in the air when a Magician in a black outfit silently showed up beside Casso and whispered in his ears.

Casso frowned. His gaze immediately sharpened and glared at Lauren as he snapped furiously, ”You better explain this!”

”Explain? Explain what?” Lauren asked with a confused face.

”If you're thinking of baiting me here with your lies to get rid of me, I can assure you that the cities you are in charge of will be flowing with blood soon!” Casso promised in a heavy voice.

Mayor Lauren was stunned. He immediately glanced at the assistant beside him.

The woman seemed to have just received some news too. She quickly whispered into Mayor Lauren's ear.

Mayor Lauren immediately came to a realization. He quickly donned a smile, ”It's truly a misunderstanding. We've known each other for many years, do you seriously not understand what I think? I'll deal with them; you and your men can come on board first.”

”You better take care of it. If I have to do it, it won't be so simple. I don't care where they are from!” Casso said.

He blew a long whistle, signaling the members of the Red Ornaments Guild to board the boat.

The Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild obeyed Casso's quickly, boarding the boat in groups and did not dare to move without receiving an order from their boss.

------

Mayor Lauren left the boat with a group of soldiers in dark blue uniforms. They headed for the shipyard.

”Defend this place,” Mayor Lauren ordered.

The Battlemages in dark blue outfits immediately spread out and quickly sealed off the paths leading to the boat in a very efficient manner.

Mayor Lauren stood there with a dark face. His glittering eyes were staring at a group of young Magicians approaching the boat, breathing heavily.

”Stop right there! What do you think you're doing here?” snapped Mayor Lauren coldly.
