Chapter 2097 - Apologize? Impossible! (2/2)

“It’s not much of a big deal. Am I late?” Mo Fan asked.

“You just fought the Black Vatican. Should I fight the duel on your behalf?” Mu Ningxue asked.

“That won’t be necessary. I can handle it myself,” Mo Fan replied quickly.

“It’s good to see you back. I’ll tell them you are fighting the duel. Mo Fan, you should have seen the people below the mountain. Many people were cursing us because you didn’t show up yesterday. You must make them pay and claim the title of the strongest young Mage!” Mu Linsheng exclaimed.

“Strongest young Mage!” Mo Fan grinned.

He had already won that title at the World College Tournament, yet many were still shunning it. It was time to prove his worth to them. Otherwise, every Tom, Dick, or Harry would keep challenging him to a duel wherever he went to prove he was unworthy of the title.

“Come, let’s go receive our guests!” Mo Fan said.

——

It felt like Fanxue Mountain was holding a huge festival. Many people enjoyed watching magic duels, but the rules of the Magic Association had taken the chances away. There were only private duels that the rich and powerful could watch. It was the first time that the Magic Association had officially agreed to a duel between two Super Mages!

Mo Fan and Zu Xiangtian were standouts among the younger Mages. Technically, a duel between young Mages was allowed as long as their levels were not too outstanding. Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of the people.

A duel like this was not going to be held close to a city. It was not even suitable to hold it within the safe zone!

The Vice Mayor of Feiniao Headquarters City had made the necessary arrangements. The duel would take place out on the sea.

The Feiniao Maritime Fortress was left in debris after the raid by the sea monsters, and they had yet to rebuild the fortress. Feiniao Headquarters City had assigned Fanxue Mountain to handle it.

The reconstruction needed some careful planning, and they were still busy demolishing the place. There was a lot of work to clear the rubble from the buildings that had been destroyed.

The Vice Mayor had conveniently arranged the duel to take place in the destroyed fortress.

The duel between the two Super Mages would conveniently destroy the rest of the buildings, saving them a lot of work!

“Mo Qiannian is here. He has no choice but to accept the duel because of the pressure from the people.”

“Who’s Mo Qiannian? What does that mean?”

“He’s a thousand-year-old tortoise who keeps hiding in his shell!”

{TL Note: Qiannian means a thousand years.}

“Did he come to apologize?”

“We came all the way here to watch the duel! Even if he was going to miss the duel, he should have told us first. We have been waiting for a day and a night! I seriously don’t know why he’s so popular. I don’t think he is really that skilled. On the other hand, Zu Xiangtian is well-known at the international level!”

The people under the mountain kept ranting, but their words were like the noises of tractors to Mo Fan. He had no idea what they were saying.

“Mo Fan, shouldn’t you apologize to the public now that you are here?” asked the Vice Mayor, who was in charge of the duel.

“Apologize? Impossible, I didn’t ask them to watch the duel in the first place!” Mo Fan disagreed.

“Ugh…” The Vice Mayor was left speechless.

After all, Mo Fan was right. These people had come on their own!
