441 Intimidation (1/2)

”In fact… There is some news that was sealed off by the Merlin Family. If it spread through Okland, it would trigger a storm. Last night, our Merlin Family clashed with the Charlotte Family in the Cold Wind Plane…” Ofran was no longer smiling as he mentioned this matter. Three hundred years ago, after the emergence of Santon Merlin, the young genius who crushed the Charlotte Family, the Charlotte Family's resources had been decimated and the entire Charlotte Family walked into a dead end. They remained very low-key in Okland, and besides Hanson Charlotte's matter, the Charlotte didn't do anything big in the past few years.

But Ofran was in disbelief when they conquered the Frost Leaf Plane. Even the Merlin Family wouldn't be able to conquer the Frost Leaf Plane so easily in such a short time.

Yet the Charlotte Family did it...

And not only did the Charlotte Family conquer the Frost Leaf Plane, but after doing so, they directly threatened the Merlin Family's Cold Wind Plane. A conflict had occurred on the previous night. Ofran wasn't able to sleep well after receiving that news.

After saying this, Ofran looked at Lin Yun and found out that the young mage's mood hadn't changed at all, which couldn't help but make Ofran feel disappointed. Such an outstanding youth had no sense of belonging towards the Merlin Family, it was such a pity. However, he could understand it when he thought about the events from three months ago. Those Elders were impatient to snatch Mafa Merlin's Gilded Rose, and even though they didn't end up getting it, a few of them still had to compensate with their lives. It was inevitable for Mafa Merlin to have some bad feelings about it.

Had Ofran been in his shoes, he would have felt the same.

After a faint sigh, Ofran said, ”I sent someone to tell the Charlotte Family to negotiate. The Charlotte Family's Patriarch, Wollings, should be here soon…”

”This matter might not be that simple…” Lin Yun smiled while remaining calm. He had already determined that this whole matter was linked to the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, but he didn't intend to reveal the secret of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, because that would just bring trouble to himself.

In any case, the Charlotte Family and the Thousand Souls Sacrifice had to be dealt with sooner or later.

Lin Yun recovered a lot of energy after meditating for more than half an hour. At that time, they finally heard news of the slow Patriarch Wollings. One of the guards rushed in with the Charlotte Family's patriarch.

”Ofran, sorry, I'm late…”

A terrifying mana fluctuation followed that voice, and although his words were apologetic, he didn't sound sorry at all. The door was roughly pushed open, and an old man walked in, seemingly in his sixties. After coming in, his eyes swept across the surroundings. He didn't even stop on Lin Yun before looking back at Ofran. He squinted and coldly said, ”I heard that you were looking for me, Ofran?”

”There is something I wish to discuss with Patriarch Wollings…”

Ofran's gaze turned cold. He knew from the moment Wollings entered that the negotiations didn't have much meaning. When they met before, Wollings would respectfully call him Patriarch Ofran, or Sir Ofran. Since when did he dare to call him directly by his name?

When Wollings became the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, he acted very sly and simply didn't dare to offend anyone. He would show him the utmost respect in every possible way.

It was a lot different from his current appearance.

Wollings had a very tough attitude right now.

”If there is anything you want to say, say it quick,” Wollings said with an icy expression. Impatience could be seen on his face as he sat opposite Ofran. ”Don't waste time, I still have something to do, just say it…”

Ofran's expression hardened even more. Anger was overflowing within his heart. 'That Wollings is too rampant, he doesn't even put the Merlin Family in his eyes. I've been patient enough, but he can't even tell what's proper. Does he really think that the Merlin Family is afraid of the Charlotte Family?'

”I'm in no hurry. Patriarch Wollings should speak first, you are a guest, after all…” But as he thought of the current situation of the Merlin Family, Ofran had no other choice but to rein in his anger. Thus, he just put on a fake smile as he talked.

”Haha, Ofran, you are too polite…”

Wollings shot a glance at Ofran with a smirk on his face, as if everything was normal. He put his withered hand into his pocket and fished out a sheet of yellow paper. He then carelessly threw it on the table in front of Ofran. ”Ofran, take a look at this. I came this time because I want to take back a piece of territory in the northern part of the kingdom. That place originally belonged to our Charlotte Family, so there should be no problem with taking it back, right?”

”No way! This is definitely out of question… Wollings, I'm telling you, your Charlotte Family shouldn't even entertain those thoughts!” After picking up the paper, Ofran's eyes widened. He didn't even think and directly refused. 'Hell, Wollings should wake up already, to dare make such a request…'
