"Actually, Fairy Tail gave us quite a few tasks a few days ago."
"However, lately, the Phantom Lord seems to have gone mad, sending guild members on missions like crazy, even poaching some missions that originally belonged to our guild at low prices."
"However, Bai Yu, you don't need to worry. The Magic Council doesn't allow this kind of malicious competition. I've already filed a complaint with the Magic Council, and it should be over soon."
At this point, Makarov gave an awkward laugh.
"Please bear with us for now. I believe the Magic Council will soon be able to calm the Phantom Lord down, and everyone will be able to take on quests freely again."
Phantom Lord?
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow.
I also know a little about this guild, which is also located in the town of Magnolia.
The establishment of the Phantom Lord can actually be traced back to the feud between the First Guild Master Mavis and the First Phantom Lord.
At the time, both of them were quite powerful figures in the town of Magnolia.
In order to compete with each other, the two sides each established their own guilds.
However, the First leader of the Phantom Lord was defeated by Mavis and others.
However, Mavis and the others did not exterminate them completely, allowing the Phantom Lord Guild to survive.
However, since then, Phantom Lord have become an adversary of Fairy Tail.
Even now, the Phantom Lord Guild has gradually grown stronger.
Among them, the Phantom Lord Master Jose, like Makarov, is one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
He also commands Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer, and S-Class Mage known as the Element 4.
It could be said that the strength and prestige of this generation of Phantom Lord give the impression that they are about to overpower the Fairy Tail Guild.
Openly and brazenly stealing bounty missions is one such crazy act.
Bai Yu had just thought of Wendy, but she hadn't appeared at the Fairy Tail Guild yet.
I'm still thinking about first determining the plot development trajectory of the Fairy Tail World.
The sudden appearance of the Phantom Lord immediately brought something to Bai Yu's mind.
"Guild Master Makarov, I'd like to ask, have the Phantom Lord been so aggressive in recent years?"
Bai Yu took a swig of his drink and said.
Everyone present was momentarily stunned; they were somewhat baffled by Bai Yu's question.
However, Makarov still offered an explanation.
" Bai Yu, don't worry, this is the first time. Let me tell you, that Jose was already my defeated opponent seven years ago."
"He seems a bit arrogant this time, but I believe he'll back down soon. The Magic Council n't someone to be trifled with."
As the leading guild of light mages, the Magic Council not only gathers many outstanding mages.
Among them are the Ten Wizard Saints, and various other means to intimidate this continent.
In Makarov's eyes, Jose Phantom Lord, would be no match for him unless he relinquished his title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
They have completely degenerated into a shady guild.
Otherwise, they would be trying to cause trouble right under the nose of the Magic Council.
That's simply impossible.
Meanwhile, in Makarov's eyes, the Phantom Lord had been suppressed by their Fairy Tail Guild for decades, even centuries.
They probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on them.
Looking at Makarov's relaxed expression, Bai Yu frowned.
"Guild Master Makarov, do you believe that the Phantom Lord would absolutely not take action against the Fairy Tail Guild?"
Erza and the others stood there, stunned.
Looking at Bai Yu, who had suddenly become serious, she was clearly a little confused.
" Bai Yu, what do you mean by this? Do you think the Phantom Lord will attack us?" Makarov was taken aback.
Even the four Laxus in the attic couldn't help but pause in surprise.
A ridiculous thought flashed through Freed's mind, and he couldn't help but exclaim urgently, " Laxus, he couldn't have guessed it, could he?"
Laxus's expression also darkened, and he stared intently at Bai Yu.
"Don't worry, unless he can predict the future, I don't believe he could guess the information I spent so much effort to find out."
These words were immediately met with nods of agreement from Bickslow and Evergreen.
Before the two could even speak in agreement, Bai Yu spoke first.
"No, something's definitely fishy!" Bai Yu said calmly, taking a swig of his drink.
"They've taken all the guild's quests."
"I think it's not far off when they'll completely break off relations and start fighting."
"This matter has been going on for quite some time now. It's possible that the Phantom Lord has already lost all patience, so it's not surprising that he's chosen to act now."
Makarov and the others' expressions changed.
Even the four Laxus members were no exception.
Just a moment ago, Laxus was certain that Bai Yu could only do so by being able to predict the future.
Otherwise, they would never have guessed this.
However, now that he's spoken, he's directly pointed out the truth.
This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.
It can be said that Laxus, along with the four members of the Thunder God Tribe, remained within the guild today.
It was definitely not to watch a farcical welcome party for the newlyweds.
They had obtained intelligence from hidden informants within the Phantom Lord and wanted to witness the grand attack firsthand.
That's why they're patient enough to linger here.
"That's impossible. Laxus must have guessed by chance," Freed couldn't help but say.
Laxus didn't answer immediately upon hearing this; instead, she stared intently at Bai Yu.
Feeling Laxus's gaze, Bai Yu smiled and said.
"Looks like I guessed right."
" Laxus, it's rare for you to stay at the Fairy Tail Guild for a banquet. You must be doing this to guard against an attack on the Fairy Tail Guild."
"But don't worry, now that everyone knows, and is being cautious, I believe we can definitely prevent it from happening in the first place."
Laxus?
Those present froze, all looking up at the attic.
Everyone was clearly baffled by Bai Yu's sudden remark.
Makarov opened his mouth as if to say something, but the next moment his nerves suddenly tightened.
" Levy, watch out! There's an attack!"
The scene suddenly came to a standstill.
Faced with Makarov's sudden reminder, everyone's nerves immediately tightened to the limit.
However, when faced with something unexpected, many people's first reaction is not to take immediate action.
My mind went completely blank.
Even Erza and the others were no exception.
Bang!
The tightly closed door shattered with a loud bang.
A cylindrical iron pillar, accompanied by a chilling whooshing sound, pierced through the void and arrived.
They moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Levy and the others in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the attack so close at hand, Levy and the others were momentarily unable to react.
