Red-Haired Emperor Caught in a Vice Crackdown?

The final stage of the crackdown on pornography and illegal publications is underway inside Emerald Spring.

At this moment, Hughes stood at the doorway, his face full of black lines, his eyes filled with speechless as he looked into the room.

He never dreamed he'd run into Gildarts here. What should he do when the anti-prostitution raid turns out to be against the guild's top leader?

Gildarts looked at Hughes with a similarly pained expression.

He was genuinely in a bind; the moment Hughes kicked the door, he went from → to O in just three seconds.

Suddenly, a legend he had overheard flashed through Gildarts's mind.

Being suddenly startled during close interpersonal communication can lead to embarrassing aftereffects...

Gildarts:...

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Magnolia Hospital's urology department should have a specialized outpatient clinic...

While Gildarts was having an existential crisis, Hughes, with lightning-fast reflexes, quickly raised the Recording Magic Crystal and secretly recorded a short while.

Hughes silently gave himself a thumbs-up; Gildarts's weakness was finally revealed...

"Gildarts, I'll give you face tonight and won't bother you!" Hughes waved the documents in his hand and left leisurely.

The men and women left inside looked completely bewildered.

After the Gildarts incident, Hughes realized a profound truth: he must always activate his Observation Haki when doing anything clandestine.

It's fine to watch a play, but you shouldn't become the one being watched.

Seeing Hughes come out so quickly, Mira and Erza were puzzled.

Hughes didn't hide anything and told the two of them what had just happened.

"Pah!" x2

The way the two looked at the trash was something Hughes remembered vividly. Hughes recalled that when he first met Mira, she had looked at him with that same gaze several times...

"Shall we go to another hot spring tavern now?" Erza asked, turning her head after giving Gildarts a disdainful look.

Hughes nodded. Since Kailinfu didn't dare to come out, then they would just turn her whole place upside down.

Without stopping, Hughes even grabbed the other two and flew over the Emerald Spring hot spring tavern, appearing directly in front of another hot spring tavern next door.

The Magnolia Town has nine spa taverns in its hot springs district, all owned by Kailinfu.

Strictly speaking, this woman is a successful career woman.

The hot spring town is not cheap, and those who can afford to come are either mages or ordinary people who are either rich or noble.

What Hughes is doing now is making Kailinfu offend this group of people, so that he can gather their strength and destroy Kailinfu's career step by step.

If Kailinfu showed up later, Hughes would dare to let her offend another person.

Hughes wanted to force Kailinfu to show herself, because the feeling of showing herself voluntarily versus being forced to show herself is completely different for these successful career women.

If she, Kailinfu, wasn't using her position as a woman to frame him, then he would make it a reality, shattering her pride and forcing her to submit.

If he only wanted to capture Kailinfu, he could activate his Advanced Observation Haki and the entire Magnolia Town would be within his perception range. Capturing Kailinfu would be as easy as picking a Little Flower by the roadside.

But this was not the outcome Hughes desired.

As for the PUBG players who were disgusted by Hughes, will they resent him?

To put it bluntly, why would Hughes care about these people's resentment and revenge? Putting aside the fact that he's all alone, with his current strength, besides those few who have names and identities, who else does he need to fear?

His greatest asset is his formidable strength.

Outside the hot spring tavern, Hughes had just landed when he looked ahead strangely, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

Wow, someone's getting restless...

Standing in front of Hughes was a young woman who exuded contradictions, both alluring and somewhat innocent.

Kailinfu was still wearing a form-fitting dress that showed off her excellent figure, with her proportions being graceful and her curves particularly prominent.

She seemed somewhat irritable at the moment; her naturally gentle face showed a hint of anger, adding a touch of fiery temper to her mature and tender demeanor, making her even more charming.

This is a woman who makes you yearn for her day and night.

Hughes, Erza, and Mira are excluded...

Mira, in particular, and Hughes couldn't understand why this girl was so hostile towards Kailinfu.

He's the one who was framed by Kailinfu!

Seeing Mira's magic suddenly surge, the crystals on her demonic body flashing and seemingly about to burst forth, her ferocious appearance startled Hughes, who thought she had lost control. He quickly patted her to bring her back to her senses.

"Let's talk!" Kailinfu suppressed her anger, looked at Hughes with eyes that seemed to hold the depths of Shusui, and licked her lips.

Her voice remained warm and gentle, like a soothing melody filling the mind, making one linger and involuntarily lower their guard.

Hughes smiled at her, then placed his hands on Mira and Erza's backs and pushed them both forward.

Talk? Talk my ass. If we're going to talk, we'll beat her into submission first.

"Erza, defeat her, and you can eat Mira's cooking for the next month. I'll also buy you ten strawberry cakes tomorrow, and then I'll stop Natsu and Gray so no one can stop you from eating your cakes!"

Before Hughes could finish speaking, Erza's eyes lit up, and she leaped into the air, raising her serrated greatsword high and slashing straight at Kailinfu.

For Erza, ten strawberry cakes were a small matter; not being disturbed while she ate her cake was a very important matter.

For some reason, she has never eaten a whole strawberry cake in her life. It's as if she's cursed; every time she eats strawberry cake, all sorts of unexpected things happen.

With Hughes's help, Erza, and she even felt a bit stronger in her hands.

"Bang!"

The ground in front of the hot spring tavern suddenly shattered, leaving a deep crater.

The Purgatory Armor is renowned for its destructive power; it is said that no one who has seen it has survived. It later became Erza's second strongest armor.

Its power is not to be underestimated. It's just that Erza is still young and can't quite control the Purgatory Armor. If it were two years later, it would do more than just shatter the floor of the hot spring tavern.

The entire hot spring town will be smashed to pieces... because this woman will become S-Class Mage in two years.

Breaking Laxus's record of "lasting" 2 years, he became the youngest S-Class Mage in Fairy Tail guild history!

However, Kailinfu was clearly not weak either. Facing Erza's fierce and overwhelming attack, a deep blue magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and she flashed out of Erza's attack range.

Seeing this, Hughes decided to send more men; why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone?

"Mira, you go help too, but remember to be careful. Kailinfu can use Sleep Magic; Macao and the others fell victim to that!"

Mira nodded and then rushed towards Kailinfu.

She'd disliked Kailinfu for a long time.

That despicable woman! How dare she seduce Hughes! Don't think she didn't see it; she licked her lips when she was talking to Hughes just now.

Kailinfu:... Her lips were dry from anger...
