Chapter 124 - Arrest (1/2)

Lin Li remembered who the middle-aged man was at once.

The man before them was the one in charge of matching students to their respective mentors in the guild hall the day before. Since then, he already seemed familiar to Lin Li, although Lin Li still could not make out where exactly he first met him.

He walked out from the thick growth, eyes fixed in a deadly glance as he looked at Lin Li.

“You are Felic?” he asked.

A sense of superiority could be sensed from that hoa.r.s.e voice as though it was an interrogation.

Despite feeling indignant, Lin Li repressed his anger. Then, he replied politely, “Yes, mister.” The man was still a mentor after all!

He nodded his head, and did not continue further. Yet, his harsh gaze intensified.

“Mr. Aeron, that’s the brat! He’s the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who injured Matthias!” The two fellas were good in reading the facial expression of their mentor. Thus, they grabbed this opportunity to tell on Lin Li. Their behavior now was a complete opposite from their obsequiousness the day before. If Lin Li had not witnessed how these traitors betrayed Matthias previously, he might have thought them righteous and loyal friends to Matthias.

Unfortunately, the kicks they gave Matthias had already revealed their true nature…

“Mage Felic, is that true?” Aeron asked in a harsh tone.

“That’s right, Mr. Aeron.”

Lin Li admitted it right away.

With the witnesses and evidence, it would be futile to deny his actions.

“Today’s youngsters indeed have a greater potential than us old men! Hahaha…” the middle-aged man said as he started laughing out of a sudden. Still fixing his glare on Lin Li, he continued, “Mage Felic, did no one tell you that it is clearly against Alanna’s rules for mages to fight among themselves?”

“Is that so?”

“Seems like you do not have a memory. But , don’t worry. When you get to the underground prison of the Guild of Magic, I’m sure there will be ample time for you to recall it… Now, as the arbitrator of Alanna Guild of Magic, I am arresting for your act of injuring your fellow mage. If you have any other words to say, we can slowly discuss it in jail. You are going to be in there for a long time.”

“You have no rights to bring Felic away!” Mason said firmly as he stepped forward, bringing Lin Li behind him.

Orrin stepped forward without saying any word, trying to protect his teammate from Aeron as well.

“I presume the two of you are Orrin and Mason from Rotterdam and Chevan City, respectively?” Aeron asked with disdain. Smirking, he continued, “Are you interested in joining him in the prison?”

“F*ck. If you are abiding the law”—Mason pointed at Aeron in a fury—”then why wasn’t Matthias arrested when he injured Orrin? And now, when it comes to Felic, you are saying that he harmed his fellow colleagues?”

“He got injured by Matthias? Mason, could you tell me where did he suffer his injuries?”

“His right arm! Matthias used Arcane Missiles on him!”

“You are saying that… Matthias broke Orrin’s right arm with Arcane Missiles before Felic retaliated with the same technique to break his four limbs?”

“That’s right!”

“Orrin, could you show me you right arm?”

Mason fell in a daze immediately.

Since they lived under the same roof, how would Mason not know that Orrin’s right arm had completely recovered after consuming that potion? What are they going to show Aeron?

“There’s no need to,” said Lin Li as he came forward. While staring firmly on Aeron’s right hand, he spoke, “Mr. Aeron, I injured Matthias myself, and it’s got nothing to do with my teammates. I could go back with you, but allow me to ask a bold question. Who is Bathrilor to you?”

There was a ruby ring of Aeron’s right hand, and that gem was radiating faint magical waves.

“I’m Bathrilor’s father.”
