Chapter 796: Independent World (1/2)

Lin Yun was looking around, and while referencing the layout of the Storm Fort, he quickly discovered many flaws of the Flame Demon Fort. In fact, some of those flaws could be exploited by others, and could even be fatal.

Lin Yun was lost in thought when an unpleasant hoarse voice echoed.

”Oh? Isn't that Mafa Merlin of the Merlin Family? What, you have also come to the Storm Fort? Does the Merlin Family have no one else?”

Lin Yun slightly frowned and turned around to see a sneering, pale-skinned man in his thirties.

Lin Yun ignored this man wearing a luxurious robe and went back to observing the Storm Fort.

This immediately angered Kans Charlotte.

'Wretched guy, I actually encountered him here! I really didn't think he would have run to the Raging Flame Plane. An abandoned member of the Merlin Family dared to offend our Charlotte Family. I even took the initiative to speak to that damned guy, yet he refuses to acknowledge me!'

Kans had a cold expression. He had been travelling before, and when he returned to the Charlotte Family, he heard that the Merlin Family had someone called Mafa Merlin that dared to set himself against the Charlotte Family. They suffered a loss, and some Charlottes seemed to have been killed by Mafa Merlin.

Kans wasn't very clear about the details, though. He only remembered this person and saw a portrait of him before no longer caring. It was only a High Mage, after all. He could easily get rid of that kind of trash if they ever met.

Would the Merlin Family still start a war with the Charlotte Family if there was no evidence? The Merlin Family had shown signs of emergence in the past years, but the Charlotte Family wasn't easily bullied.

As one of the important nurtured members of the Charlotte Family, Kans simply looked down upon Merlins, let alone a High Mage that was only forced to return to his Family because of his wealth.

And now, with such a person ignoring him, Kans simply couldn't endure. 'Does he think he can ignore me, Kans Charlotte, just because he advanced to the Archmage realm?'

”Mafa Merlin, could it be that you feel that you can be proud because you advanced to the Archmage realm? I'm talking to you! Hmpf... I originally thought of letting you apologize to the Charlotte Family in front of everyone, but it looks like teaching you a lesson is necessary.”

Kans raised his head, arrogance visible on his pale face as he acted as if he was giving Lin Yun a chance.

Not far away, Weiss and Zeuss had already noticed the disturbance and were smiling at Kans Charlotte's misfortune.

”That kid seems to be from the Charlotte Family…”

”Yes, the Charlotte Family has truly declined… Could it be that they aren't even taught something as basic as distinguishing between those they can offend and those they can't?”

”This guy is actually quite talented. He is in his thirties and is already a 5th Rank Archmage. He could be considered an outstanding person in the Charlotte Family... Unfortunately, his brain isn't very good.”

”Apparently, Sir Mafa previously had some conflict with the Charlotte Family. I don't know the details, but it seems clear from Kans Charlotte's appearance that it shouldn't be anything big. Is that guy trying to escalate the conflict?”

Weiss and Zeuss had mocking expressions as they watched the play with a smile. In any case, the Charlotte Family wasn't close to them. Upsetting Mafa Merlin unhappy for this guy's sake wasn't worth it.

Kans Charlotte stood with a few people and looked at Lin Yun with a strange smile.

'He is just a dispensable outsider of the Merlin Family. How could he dare to offend our Charlotte Family? With so many people here today, if he dares to contradict me, I'll use that as an excuse. The Merlin Family definitely wouldn't offend us because of him, so they'd make him apologize to our Charlotte Family.

'It's best to make it blow up into a big matter so that I can use the Merlin Family causing chaos as an excuse. I heard the Merlin Family recently got some good harvests. Not only did they manage to control a few forts, but they even obtained some of the resources of the Horn of Fertility. Truly wretched! The Merlin Family's forces in the Raging Flame Plane are so weak, yet they were allocated the richest part of the Horn of Fertility.'

Kans raised his head, waiting for Lin Yun to apologize in fright. He'd take advantage of that fear to take a big bite and carve himself a part of the cake.

But Lin Yun didn't even look at him as he kept observing the Storm Fort, and the few people next to him also ignored Kans Charlotte.

Disdain could be seen flickering on Xiuban's face. He glanced at the Kans Charlotte's thin body and pale complexion before looking at Carnage and estimating that he didn't need to use any power to kill that thin guy.

'Boring…'

Kans Charlotte ruthlessly glared at Lin Yun, and his expression became more and more unsightly.

'How could this guy dare to treat me like this? He actually dares to ignore me? To ignore the Charlotte Family?'

No one on Lin Yun's side paid attention to him for a while, and during that time, Lin Yun had more or less observed the fort's entire layout.

Lin Yun seemed to remember that there was someone else beside him just as Kans was about to say something.
