Settling Scores and Taking Them All Down!

Night fell, and the darkness deepened.

The long-awaited reunion celebrations in the Fairy Tail guild continued, filled with laughter and joy.

Jiang Bai drank a few drinks with Makarov and Macao, listening to them recount the hardships and difficulties of the past seven years. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but the warmth in his eyes gradually turned cold.

After a while, Jiang Bai estimated that it was about time and the flies should have flown back to their filthy nests, so he put down his wine glass.

"Grandpa, Uncle Macao, I'm going out for a bit."

Jiang Bai stood up, stretched, and his joints cracked and popped.

"Go settle some... personal grudges."

Upon hearing this, Macao and the others' smiles instantly turned into something sinister, and they all rubbed their hands together, clamoring to go along.

"No need," Jiang Bai waved his hand, declining their offer.

"Just a bunch of small fry. It'll be easier for me to go alone."

After saying that, his figure vanished into thin air.

The Twilight Ogre's Guild.

Tebo and his bruised and battered men were huddled together, still shaken, panting heavily.

The fear that black-haired man instilled in them at the Fairy Tail guild was truly profound.

The feeling of being completely out of control of your body, and being helplessly beaten by a group of "weak" people, is even more unbearable than killing them directly.

"Boss... that guy named Jiang Bai... is back!" A henchman covered his swollen face, his voice trembling with fear.

"Fairy Tail, another group has arrived! We... we're no match for them!"

"Yeah, yeah!" another guy with a broken arm chimed in, his face contorted in a grimace.

"That man... he's a monster! Should we... or should we just give up on causing trouble for Fairy Tail? I don't want to see him again!"

A sense of retreat spread rapidly within the guild, like a plague.

"No!"

Just then, Tebo slammed his fist on the table and roared, forcefully suppressing the cowardly atmosphere.

The marks of Macao's iron fist still lingered on his face, but now, his bloodshot eyes, filled with rage, gleamed with an even more insane greed.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings have no idea how valuable Fairy Tail's properties are!"

He was breathing heavily, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with excitement.

"Those houses are all in the best locations in our Magnolia town! Any one of them would be enough for us to live off for a lifetime!"

"That's right!" the guild's strategist chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.

"If we can get our hands on those houses, we'll never have to worry again for the rest of our lives!"

The lure of money quickly overcame the fear of the unknown.

"The boss is right! What's there to be afraid of!"

Fortune favors the bold!

"Done!"

Seeing the crowd stirred up again, a satisfied, sinister smile appeared on Tebo's face.

"Alright! In that case," he exclaimed, raising his arm in a gesture of encouragement.

"Then let's all go, under the cover of night..."

However, his inflammatory words were abruptly interrupted by a sudden, languid voice.

The voice seemed to be ringing right next to their ears, so clear that it sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Oh? Everyone's on the move?"

"Then what?"

Along with this voice, a black figure appeared silently at the entrance of the Twilight Ogre Guild, like a ghost.

It was Jiang Bai.

He leaned leisurely against the doorframe, a playful smile on his face, watching the group of fools inside plotting how to rob him of his property.

He heard everything.

I could hear it clearly.

Jiang Bai was so angry at the ignorance and greed of this group of people that he laughed.

There really are people who, after witnessing such terrifying power, would still dare to covet their own property.

It seems the lesson we just learned wasn't enough.

"When... when did you...?"

Tebo looked at the figure that resembled a demon god, the color drained from his face in an instant.

However, Jiang Bai was too lazy to waste any more words with them.

He simply extended his right hand slowly, and then gently flicked his index finger upwards.

It's an action that couldn't be simpler.

The next second.

"Boom--!"

The entire Twilight Ogre guild building, that two-story building, was uprooted by an irresistible and terrifying force, right before the eyes of all the members, who were filled with disbelief and utter horror!

Then, with a tooth-grinding creak, the entire building was abruptly dragged into the air.

Before they could even react to this miraculous scene, the building that had been floating in mid-air was crushed like a cookie by an invisible giant hand.

"Bang--!"

After a dull bang, it completely turned into dust that filled the air!

Meanwhile, all the members of the Twilight Ogre who were originally inside the building remained unharmed, still standing in the same position as before.

Beneath their feet lay a level foundation.

Above me was the deep night sky.

As for their guild, which they relied on for survival... not even a single rubble can be found.

Dead silence.

Utter silence.

Everyone was completely stunned by what they saw, a scene that exceeded their wildest imaginations.

They stood there, frozen in place, their bodies as stiff as stone statues, forgetting even to breathe.

Jiang Bai slowly, step by step, walked up to them.

He looked at the hyenas who had completely lost all courage, and the lazy smile on his face finally disappeared, replaced by indifference.

"The death penalty can be waived," he said calmly, in a tone that sounded like a pronouncement.

"He cannot escape punishment."

"You'll all spend the rest of your lives in the Magic Council's prison, reflecting on your actions."

After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at this group of good-for-nothings again. With a flicker, he transformed into a series of afterimages that were impossible to catch, and weaved through the crowd.

"Bang bang--!"

A series of dull thuds, accompanied by the sounds of bones cracking and screams, echoed across the open space.

Just a few seconds later, Jiang Bai's figure returned to the original spot.

Behind him, all the members of the Twilight Ogre Guild, without exception, lay unconscious on the ground, their limbs twisted in bizarre postures.

After doing all this, Jiang Bai clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.

Then, he tore open a spatial rift and threw the group of unconscious trash into it like sacks, packing them up and sending them to the Magic Council.

Then I slowly walked over myself.
