Sienna wanted to tell Charles just that. Be it the Humerus Wyrm or the Legendary-realm Lich, all of them were defeated by Mage Felic, who was heaven-defyingly powerful. However, he glanced at Ujfalusi before he said so, and immediately decided to shut up.

n.o.body liked other people talking about their failures and defeats, even if the one who defeated him had become his master. Sienna didn’t know if this was a taboo topic for Ujfalusi, but putting himself in Ujfalusi’s shoes, he wouldn’t want others to talk about it. Although Ujfalusi was already an attendant of Mage Felic, he could still kill Sienna easily at the snap of his fingers as a powerful Lich.

“So, let me tell you. The one who saved Master Castellan’s children is Mage Felic. He is also the one who protected my followers and me, bringing us back to safety. This Mage Felic is the real savior of the Castellan’s children.” Sienna decided to skip the part regarding Ujfalusi and let Charles figure out the details himself.

Though Sienna didn’t specify the fact that the Humerus Wyrm and the Legendary-realm Lich had been defeated by Mage Felic, wasn’t it obvious judging from the ending of this story? Charles suddenly felt his legs were shaking, and stumbled a bit. He didn’t fall down only because he had held on to a cupboard.

Charles felt very desperate. There were many other possible explanations to this matter. Maybe that Mage Felic only repelled the Humerus Wyrm and Legendary-realm Lich; maybe his teacher or some other person had helped him. But what was the difference for Charles?

Charles had said that Felic didn’t understand n.o.bility. Wasn’t that accusing him of being a low-born? d.a.m.n it, he had to have gone crazy today. How could he have made such a silly mistake? Charles had managed the Seven Leaf Gra.s.s for so many years, and had never made the mistake of judging a book by its cover.

The reason for making such a mistake was firstly because of his trust in his subordinate. Furthermore, he also didn’t think that these four mages were very powerful. Next, he was unhappy that he had to put on a smile and compromise when making the deal with Sienna. Due to all these, he had forgotten about the principles he had always adhered to all these years. Unfortunately, this only time had brought him and his Seven Leaf Gra.s.s to the depths of despair.

Upon knowing how powerful Mage Felic was, Charles looked at the four mages again. The more he looked, the more he felt they were incomprehensible. No wonder he couldn’t recognize their abilities. If he had known it in the beginning, he would have gotten rid of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Larry even before Sienna.

That pale youngster was probably the one who had defeated an Ice Howler. Now Charles felt that the youngster radiated a powerful aura. One needed to know that the Ice Howler was a terrifying magical beast that even the elite army under Arathor couldn’t defeat. That rather thin and small mage’s body also surged with magical waves. The fear that Charles felt because of him was comparable to that the previous youngster instilled in him. These two powerhouses would be treated like treasures by whichever factions they were put into. However, they were merely subordinates of this Mage Felic here.

Regarding Mage Felic himself, Charles still couldn’t accurately judge his abilities. He just appeared to be always polite and peace-loving, and always had a smile on his face. Even when Charles attempted to chase him away, he didn’t seem to show the slightest bit of annoyance.

At the start, Charles didn’t feel anything. However, after listening to Sienna’s introduction, he thought of several big shots he had interacted with before—they didn’t show their true feelings on their face, either. Charles naturally knew that such people were scarier, because he never knew when they would stop smiling and what they would do to him then.

Charles knew that he could hesitate no longer. If he didn’t hurry up and do something, things might reach an irreconcilable stage. He tried his best to calm down and bowed to Sienna very courteously. No matter what, Charles would have been in deep trouble unknowingly if not for Sienna’s presence.

After thanking Sienna, Charles walked towards Lin Li with a trembling heart.

Charles used the most formal etiquette in Anril World for the first time in his life towards this smiling young mage. He said, “Dear Mr Mage, I apologize for being rude to you previously. I know that my apology is far from enough to make up for my offense. Thus, I am willing to receive any punishment as long as you can forgive me this time.”

After saying all this, Charles stood there with his head lowered, waiting for Mage Felic’s decision uneasily. Every second was a torture for him. He was so nervous he could hear the beating sound of his heart.

Sienna was equally nervous. Though he had scolded Charles harshly, he might still be affected if Mage Felic was really fed up. He regretted agreeing to Charles’ commission and following this fool here. This was such an unexpected disaster!

Meanwhile, Lin Li couldn’t have cared less about this matter. After all, who would haggle over trifles with such weaklings? He just smiled, and said “never mind” to these two fellas who were so nervous they were going to faint.

Charles couldn’t believe his ears, but also didn’t dare to ask again. How could he let the esteemed Mage Felic repeat his words? How much courage must that require. He only turned to look at Sienna, hoping that he would get a clearer answer from him.

“Charles, are you f*cking blockheaded? Hurry up and thank Mage Felic for his forgiveness,” Sienna yelled with annoyance.
