Laxus completely lost his mind.
He squeezed out the last bit of magic power in his body, turned it into a violent golden thunder, and lunged towards Lu Chongwei with bared teeth and claws.
Lu Chongweis face dropped.
He waved the Ryujin Jakka in his hand casually.
The golden flame was like gangrene attached to the bone, and it instantly caught up with the thunder and lightning, burning it completely in mid-air.
Later.
Lu Chongwei made a move that surprised everyone.
He thrust Ryujin Jakka heavily into the ruins beside him.
He gave up using magic.
Lu Chongwei exerted all his strength with his legs, and his whole body rushed in front of Laxus like an arrow from a string.
Bang!
Lu Chongwei raised his fist and punched Laxus hard on the face with pure physical strength.
Laxus was beaten until blood spurted out, and his whole body staggered back.
Before he could stand still.
Lu Chongwei's second and third punches followed him like a shadow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull sound of fists hitting flesh echoed in the empty ruins.
Lu Chongwei asked sternly while waving his fist mercilessly.
"Why are you depriving your friends of their homes?"
Bang! Another heavy punch hit Laxus on the chin.
"Do you think power is everything!"
Lu Chongwei grabbed Laxus's tattered collar and lifted him up forcefully.
Lu Chongwei's eyes were slightly red with anger.
"Did you know that most of the partners in the guild are helpless orphans?"
"They have no parents or relatives! Fairy Tail is their only safe haven in this cruel world!"
"But you want to destroy it yourself for your ridiculous ambition!"
Lu Chongwei's scolding sound was like a yellow bell, deafening, and struck directly into the depths of Laxus's soul.
Laxus was completely awakened by this old punch.
His originally crimson and crazy eyes gradually lost their anger and regained their clarity.
In his mind, extremely clear pictures flashed uncontrollably.
Natsu's bright smiling face jumping up and down and making noise in the guild hall.
Gray takes off his clothes at every turn and fights with Natsu.
Lucy sat aside, with a helpless but smiling expression on his face.
There was also the old man Makarov, sitting on the bar, drinking beer, and sighing kindly and helplessly.
That moment.
Laxus finally realized it completely.
The reason why he wants to take over the guild with strong methods is not because he hates these noisy guys.
But because of deep envy.
He envied that everyone could gather together and laugh without any scruples, and he regretted that he had always used arrogance and indifference to isolate himself from everyone.
Two lines of hot tears slipped silently down Laxus's cheeks covered with blood and dust.
He lowered his hands feebly, giving up all resistance.
Let Lu Chongwei grab his collar.
"I... I just want to make the guild stronger..."
Laxus's voice was as low as a whisper, and his tone was full of endless regret, grievance and pain.
After hearing these words, the anger in Lu Chongwei's eyes slowly subsided.
He let go of his hand.
Laxus fell onto the ruins, covering his face with his hands, like a child who had done something wrong, his shoulders twitching violently.
Freed stood aside, watching this scene, his eyes were moist.
"Laxus... lost."
Freed softly announced the final result of this Fairy Tail civil war.
Lu Chongwei let out a long sigh.
He walked over, pulled out the Ryujin Jakka stuck on the ground, and put it into its sheath.
Then, he walked up to Laxus and sat down without warning.
"You know what."
Lu Chongwei looked at the slowly dawning night sky in the distance, and his voice became extremely calm and gentle.
"President, he is already eighty-eight years old."
Laxus's body suddenly stiffened.
"Also, he suffers from a very serious heart disease."
Lu Chongwei turned his head and looked at Laxus's face that instantly turned pale and bloodless.
"He has been working hard just to see the day when you truly mature and understand what a companion is."
Laxus's lips were trembling violently.
The huge panic and guilt instantly overwhelmed him like a tsunami.
Just then.
A rush of rapid, panicked and stumbling footsteps came from the street in the distance.
Levy panted and ran up the ruins of the cathedral.
Her hair was messy, her face was covered with tears and dust, and she looked extremely anxious.
She looked at Laxus and Lu Chongwei sitting on the ground, her voice filled with uncontrollable crying.
"Laxus! Zhongwei brother!"
Levy burst into tears.
"President, he... is critically ill!"
Levy's legs went weak, and he knelt down heavily in front of the two of them, tears falling on the gravel.
"Please, go see the president quickly!"
"Critically ill..."
Laxus's tall body suddenly shook.
His eyes, which were originally full of arrogance and unruliness, were now bloodshot.
His pupils were trembling violently, and his face was full of disbelief that could not be concealed.
"Impossible! That old man has such tenacious vitality, how could he be critically ill!"
Laxus's voice was trembling, and his hands were holding his hair tightly.
The huge guilt and panic were like a tide, completely submerging him in an instant.
He fell down on the rubble of the ruins, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Lu Chongwei stood aside, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Laxus who was slumped on the ground without saying a word.
He slowly stretched out his right hand and handed it to Laxus.
This action is exactly the same as when Laxus was a child and fell into the quagmire because he was laughed at by others for being the grandson of the president. The president stretched out his hand to him.
Laxus Looking at the slender and powerful hand in front of him, his memories overlapped instantly.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and grabbed Lu Chongwei's hand.
Lu Chongwei used all his strength to pull him up from the ground.
"Let's go back to the guild."
Lu Chongwei's voice was calm and firm.
Without any hesitation, the two people immediately turned into two streams of light and ran towards the Fairy Tail Guild as fast as possible.
In the guild hall at this time.
The atmosphere was so depressing that one could almost breathe.
All the guildmates gathered in front of the closed door of the infirmary on the first floor, anxiously waiting for the news inside.
"Old man... you must not let anything happen to you!"
Natsu grasped his hair tightly with both hands and paced back and forth at the door of the infirmary in a hurry.
The wooden floor under his feet was scorched with black footprints.
