140 Spirit Storm (1/2)

Allen Watson slowly stood up, his face pale, his steps heavy, and doubt in his eyes.

”As you wish, High Mage Hogg. I'll immediately leave Thousand Sails City, but that Nether Iron Vein didn't only attract the attention of the Watson Family. You won't always remain in Thousand Sails City.”

”Allen Watson, you should take care of yourself.” A faint smile appeared on Hogg's face, but after saying that, he couldn't help glancing at Lin Yun with worry.

Allen Watson's words were clear.

'Indeed, I am nothing in front of you, but don't you forget that behind me is the Watson Family. Even if the Watson Family doesn't appear, other forces might come forward. Unless you, Hogg, remain in Thousand Sails City at all times, I'll find an opportunity sooner or later.'

At that time, it would be very difficult for a Great Mage to be able to keep hold of a Nether Iron Vein.

Hogg was indeed worried.

If they had a normal relationship, then Hogg's actions would be considered extremely benevolent. In order to help Lin Yun, he hadn't even hesitated to offend a major force like the Watson Family. Just this was enough to be considered a huge favor from Hogg. Not to mention, Hogg could wash his hands of this afterwards and leave, allowing the Watson Family to look for another way to make a move. The Great Mage wouldn't be able to keep his Nether Iron Vein and none of it would have anything to do with Hogg.

The problem was that he didn't have a simple relationship with this young Great Mage.

He was someone that could become the disciple of an Archmage whenever he wanted.

There was not enough time to curry favor with that person, so how could he afford to do anything that would arouse dislike?

Thus, when Allen said this, Hogg clenched his teeth. If it seemed that the situation wasn't good, then Hogg would straightforwardly request for Jouyi to let him stay in Thousand Sails City for the long term. In any case, as long as he was able to form a decent relationship with this young Great Mage, he wouldn't have to worry about his future.

Not to mention the fact that that the three Archmages would remember his help, even this Great Mage would bring him boundless benefits. After all, that young Great Mage's knowledge of magic could only be described as terrifying. If he could get his help, Hogg might be able to become successful in Thousand Sails City and reach the Archmage realm.

”Merlin…” With this in mind, Hogg opened his mouth, wanting to take advantage of Allen Watson having yet to leave to straightforwardly announce his decision to remain behind and completely shut down the Watson Family's intentions.

But he hadn't expected Lin Yun to slowly stand up.

”High Mage Allen Watson, didn't Raven tell you that I'm not one to suffer a loss?”

”What?” Allen was stumped. He then remembered that when Raven came back, he did tell him that this young Great Mage was very petty. When Raven chose to leave, that young Great Mage still didn't agree to let him go before Raven received a Flame Imprint in return.

At the time, that young Great Mage seemed unwilling to take any sort of loss.

'Then what does that mean now? Could it be that because I used a Spirit Impact on William, he wants to also return one to me?'

The thought was so amusing that Allen couldn't stop himself from chuckling.

This young Great mage was very interesting.

'He wants to deal with a High Mage as a Great Mage? The ignorant know no fear. A mere Great Mage challenging a High Mage in vain! How cute.'

Allen truly felt that the other side would have already died ten times over if not for Hogg's presence. He wouldn't have had the chance to say such ridiculous things then.

Allen shook his head, and with a mocking expression, he said, ”Great Mage Merlin, no one likes to take a loss, it only depends on your strength.”

”Is that so?” Lin Yun smiled as he glanced at Allen.

Right, just a glance!

But with that glance, fierce mana fluctuations rose up. It was like a storm had filled the reception room. It was the same Spirit Impact, but its momentum was far superior to Allen's. No, this already couldn't be described as a Spirit Impact, this was simply a Spirit Storm.

The Watson Family's six Great Mages' let out some blood-curdling screeches as blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Although Faleau and William were outside of the range of the Spirit Storm, they also showed frightened expressions.
