However, that was exactly what Gerian wanted. He had come today to humiliate the Merlin Family. If it hadn’t been for Lin Li’s persuasion at the door earlier on, he would have blown up the living hall. Now that Lin Li changed his mind, he naturally had no opinion. The old fellow’s expression turned cold, and he began raging.

“That’s right! It was the Merlin Family who had captured them, so why should the Guild of Magic look for her? d.a.m.n it, Evan, are you looking down on me?”

“…” Evan broke out in perspiration as he thought inwardly, Who dares to look down on you?

“Mr Evan, you had better think it over. If you don’t hand her over, it will most likely affect the friends.h.i.+p between our two forces. If something happens when the time comes, we, the Guild of Magic, will not be responsible.”

“I really don’t know where she is…” Evan was about to cry in panic. Darn it, what kind of place is the Guild of Magic? First there was the old shameless Gerian and now there is the young shameless Felic. Why are they all so unreasonable?

“Felic, cut the c.r.a.p with him. You’re not handing her out? I’ll look for her myself!” Gerian couldn’t wait and issued an order to the wolf-like Magic Shooters, “Search! Even if we have to tear down the Merlin Family’s house today, we have to find Felic’s friend!”

“Yes!”

The group of bandit Magic Shooters’ eyes lit up at the words “tear down”; they were like wolves that had been hungry for days and suddenly saw a large piece of fresh meat. Before Gerian continued giving out his orders, everyone had gotten the message as they rushed out of the living hall.

“You guys… You guys can’t do this!” Evan felt he was about to black out watching the group of wolf-like Magic Shooters hurrying out of the living hall. If this group of bandits was allowed to charge into the heart of the Merlin Family, the Merlin Family would be in ruins by the time they came out.

But everything was far from the end.

“Mr Evan.” Lin Li’s voice sounded again. “As a matter of fact, I, personally, am willing to believe that this is a misunderstanding; and I also believe that it won’t affect the friends.h.i.+p between the Guild of Magic and the Merlin Family. But…”

Evan’s heart tightened. “But what?”

“But, the Merlin Family has to hand over the murderer who hurt my friend.”

“This…” Evan hesitated slightly. To be honest, this request was not too demanding. With the current strength of the Guild of Magic, they could take the person involved directly from the Merlin Family regardless of his objections. But Evan was absolutely not willing to do so until they had come to the final step.

In the hundred years of history of the Merlin Family, there had never been a precedent of voluntarily surrendering a member of the family. Once this precedent was set, it meant that the Merlin Family had lost the ability to protect its family members, and that the family had completely submitted themselves to the Guild of Magic. From then on, who would still be willing to work for a family that did not have the ability to protect themselves?

“Can you let me think it over?” Evan asked cautiously, afraid of angering the young Magic Shooter.

“You don’t have much time.” Lin Li nodded and did not rush him anymore.
