518 Idea (1/2)

When he first saw him, Mark hadn't cared about Weiss, thinking that he was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.

But...

That nobody suddenly burst with the power of a high-ranked Archmage.

At this time, he clearly knew that it wouldn't be a wise decision to remain here. This powerful Archmage was completely furious at Mark.

Although his legs felt like jelly and his forehead was soaked in cold sweat, he still struggled to move towards the door.

When he almost reached the entrance of the reception room, he turned to look at Lin Yun. ”Mafa Merlin, the troops defending the Horn of Fertility have been reduced by two-thirds for half a month. You should think carefully about this proposal… This is an extremely rare opportunity for your Merlin Family. Oh, right, you only have three days to think this over…”

He then turned to Weiss and sternly said, ”And as for you! Just wait… Our Watson Family will definitely make you pay the price!”

After finishing his words, Mark hastily turned around, trying to leave this place as fast as possible. But at this moment, a sneer echoed from behind, ”Sure, I'll be waiting in the Black Tower for your Watson Family. Don't forget, I'm Weiss of the Black Tower. You should tell your Patriarch Karl, I think he'll know about me…”

”The Black Tower's Weiss is it? Hah, our Watson Family will definitely make you…” Mark stopped, subconsciously wanting to turn back, but his expression froze and he started stammering. ”Wait… Wei… Wei… Weiss?”

Mark had always stayed in the Watson Family's Ancestral Land and had never appeared in Okland, but that didn't mean that he had no knowledge. He had heard of the famous people. At this time, he remembered who Weiss was...

He was a member of the Black Tower's Council of Seven, a Representative of one of the top two mage forces of the Andlusa Kingdom. He was standing near the peak of the Black Tower and had the power of a high-ranked Archmage. There were few people that could compare to Weiss in Okland. Even Patriarch Karl, who Mark had to look up to, had to show enough respect to this Representative and wouldn't dare offend him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

No matter how arrogant Mark was, he knew that he had done something extremely stupid...

Moreover, his actions just now had likely caused troubles for the Watson Family.

'What should I do… What can I do?'

Mark was very anxious at this time. He stood there in a daze and didn't dare to act arrogant. He didn't even need to turn to know that the Representative of the Black Tower had a very unsightly expression.

”Sir Weiss, I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry, I truly didn't…” Mark summoned his courage and started apologizing to Weiss, keeping his head lowered. He simply didn't dare to look him straight in the eyes.

But before he could finish his apology, Weiss raised his hand and interrupted him.

”Shut up!”

”Sir Weiss, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please accept my apology…”

Hearing Weiss' angry tone, Mark was terrified. He realized that he might have caused a disaster. This was no joke. Although he had only spoken a few sentences, each of them had been fierce and rude. He had even called Weiss an old man! This was simply provoking the dignity of a high-ranked Archmage. Even if Weiss decided to kill him on the spot, the Watson Family would likely just turn a blind eye to it. They wouldn't dare to pursue this matter.

He only had himself to blame… It would be a totally pointless death.

The only thing he could do now was to keep apologizing in hopes that Weiss would be magnanimous and wouldn't lower himself to argue with him.

”Apology?” Weiss sneered as he muttered that word before falling silent. But on the other side of the room, Mark was unable to breathe.

Weiss was truly angry this time. Despite being an esteemed Representative of the Black Tower, he was cursed as an old man, and more importantly, that young Watson kept threatening him by using his family name, not putting Weiss in his eyes.

But, Mark Watson's ignorance also made him feel a bit ridiculous.

”Do you think that a few words are enough of an apology when you made such a serious mistake? There is simply no meaning in that…” Weiss coldly smiled as he stared at Mark.

”I… I…”

Mark's anxiety reached a whole new level. He almost started to cry as he stammered a few words in response, not daring to say anything.

Offending this Representative was no different from courting death.
