Lu Chongwei tapped his toes lightly, and a dark energy came through.
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Gajeel sank a few inches again, which frightened Dragon Slayer so much that he didn't even dare to take a breath.
After explaining this, Lu Chongwei walked towards Lahar without looking back and stretched out his hands.
Lahar waved his hand in relief and motioned for his subordinates to lead the way, not even daring to put handcuffs on Lu Chongwei.
Watching Lu Chongwei leave, in the shadow of Phantom Lord guild, Thought Projection of Jose slowly emerged again.
"Everything is going according to plan."
Jose let out a deep and twisted laugh.
His eyes were cold, staring at the dilapidated door.
"Gajeel, don't lie there like a dead dog, get up and prepare for tomorrow's general attack."
Jose walked to the edge of the pit and looked at the embarrassed Ace, without any mercy in his tone.
Gajeel struggled to hold himself up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness and doubt.
"President... that guy is too strong. If we don't lure him away, we have no chance of winning."
Gajeel was breathing heavily, and the severe pain in his chest made it difficult for him to speak every word.
He had never experienced such a hopeless gap, that feeling of powerlessness at being played with by the other party, which almost shattered his self-confidence.
Jose sneered, and Thought Projection's light flickered slightly.
"That's why I let people from Magic Council appear at this time. Lu Chongwei is too proud and cares too much about that broken guild."
He opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing the darkness.
"There are many people in Magic Council who have the same purpose as me. They have long wished that Fairy Tail, who was always causing trouble, would disappear into the dust of history."
Jose's laughter sounded particularly harsh in the empty hall.
"It will take at least twenty-four hours for Lu Chongwei to be taken away for investigation. This time is enough for us to completely crush those goblins."
He turned around and looked at the dejected Phantom Lord members.
"Go to the hospital to recover. Early tomorrow morning, I want to see all of you on the streets of Magnolia."
Gajeel lowered his head to cover up his complicated emotions.
Although he was doubtful about the president's methods, as Phantom Lord's sharp blade, he could only obey the arrangement.
This night, the Magnolia evening breeze seemed particularly cold.
Early the next morning, the sunlight slanted into the temporary warehouse of Fairy Tail.
There is a dullness in the air.
"President! Zhongwei hasn't come back yet?"
Mirajane anxiously opened the door, his long silver hair slightly messy.
Her eyes were full of red threads, it was obvious that she had not slept all night, and her body was shaking from excessive worry.
Erza followed closely behind. Although he was wearing regular clothes, the magic power lingering around him was extremely unstable.
"We searched all the hotels in town, but there was no trace of him."
Erza clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Her heroic eyes were filled with anxiety and self-blame at this moment.
Makarov is sitting on the wine barrel, holding tightly a letter stamped with Magic Council fire paint in his hand.
His face was very ugly, and his originally short figure looked particularly dignified at this moment.
"No need to look for him, he is at the shelter of Magic Council."
Makarov slapped the letter on the table and let out a long sigh.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded much older overnight.
"That kid broke into the Phantom Lord headquarters alone last night and turned their hall into a sea of fire."
Makarov rubbed his temples with helplessness in his tone.
"Magic Council arrested him for illegally attacking a regular guild. He is temporarily detained for investigation and will be released after the matter is cleared up."
After hearing this news, Mirajane finally felt relieved a little.
"Are you just being detained... That's fine, as long as the person is fine."
Mirajane patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
She knew Lu Chongwei too well, that man would never act recklessly without being sure.
"Tsk, that bastard actually went to show off all by himself!"
Natsu squatted in the corner, spitting out two balls of flames in displeasure.
He grabbed his hair hard and looked restless.
"Why don't you call me! I also want to burn those Phantom Lord bastards to ashes!"
Lucy sat aside, rolled his eyes, and complained mercilessly:
"Natsu, even if you go, you'll probably just be shouting "come on" from the side?"
Lucy held his chin and looked at the sunshine outside the window.
"Lu Chongwei's level of battle, with or without you, the result seems to be the same."
Just when the atmosphere in the guild relaxed slightly, a burst of rapid and panicked footsteps interrupted everyone's conversation.
"Oops! President! Something big has happened!"
Macao rushed into the warehouse panting. Because he ran too fast, he fell directly.
His face was full of panic, and he pointed in the direction of South Gate Park, his voice trembling.
"Levy...Jet... and Droy..."
Macao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"They were injured and hung on the big tree in the park!"
"Boom!"
The magic power in the warehouse exploded instantly, and Natsu and Erza almost turned into two streams of light and rushed out.
When everyone rushed to South Gate Park, the sight in front of them made everyone fall into hell instantly.
On the ancient tree in the center of the park, the hands of Levy, Jet, and Droy were tightly locked with iron chains, and their bodies hung helplessly in the air.
They were covered in wounds, their tattered clothes were dyed red with blood, and they had fallen into a deep coma.
The most outrageous thing is that Levy's flat belly has been carved with a huge Phantom Lord coat of arms using vicious magic.
"Beast..."
Gray's teeth clenched, and the surrounding grass was instantly frozen.
His eyes instantly turned red, and an unprecedented killing intent surged out of his body.
"This bunch of bastards... actually did this to Levy and the others!"
Natsu roared like a beast, and the flames on his fists turned dark red due to anger.
He wanted to step forward and untie the chains, but was blocked by a cold breath.
Makarov walked forward slowly.
He took off his usual funny cloak and put on a Ten Wizard Saints formal suit with gold embroidery.
With every step he took, the ground made a dull sound.
"Zhongwei is right."
Makarov closed his eyes and thought of what Lu Chongwei said to him at the bathroom door last night.
"There is no need to be reasonable when dealing with beasts."
Makarov opened his eyes suddenly, and a terrifying magic power burst out!
"Crack!"
The crutch in his hand was crushed into powder, and golden light shot up into the sky, scattering the clouds above.
"I... I'm such an old fool!"
Makarov's voice was like rolling thunder, echoing over the entire Magnolia.
His body looked extremely tall at this moment, which was the majesty of being Ten Wizard Saints, and the fury of being a parent.
"Children who bully me must be prepared to be destroyed!"
Makarov waved his hand violently, pointing in the direction of Ogu City.
"Everyone is ready! Target, Phantom Lord Guild!"
"War officially begins!!!"
