Earth's Greatest Magus
1524 Meet Up
Later that day, Yoro came looking for Emery and found him at a local restaurant. Looking at the sight of his chief sitting on a table full of empty plates, questions couldn't help but emerge from his mind.
"Chief…" His words trailed as his eyes took upon the striking sight before him. "You really can eat a lot, can't you?"
Hearing such a question from his subordinate, Emery could only beam an awkward smile as he stared at the red-haired girl sitting next to him. At this moment, she had just finished her tenth plate.
It was only when he saw Emery turn his head that Yoro realized that there was someone else. Looking at the unfamiliar beautiful woman next to his chief, he couldn't help but hesitate to deliver the message he wanted to tell to his chief.
Noticing his hesitation, Emery immediately said, "Don't worry about her. She is a member of our pack. Moreover, she's basically a family to me." Such words caused a smile to appear on Morgana's mouth which was a mess of the food she had eaten.
Yoro quickly nodded in understanding and then spoke in a low voice. "We already made contact. They are ready to meet up."
"Good!" Understood who Yoro was referring to. He got up from his seat and beckoned as he said, "Let's go."
There was a slight frown on Morgana's face. It was clear that she was reluctant to leave the table, or rather, the food. Unfortunately for her, Emery just could not wait any longer, so she was forced to follow suit and left the restaurant.
"Where are we going?"
The three of them made their way to the hideout they set up on the outskirts of the city. It was a basement on an inconspicuous abandoned farm. The moment they arrived, they were immediately welcomed by a series of loud screams from half a dozen men.
"Let us go, you bastard!!"
These six were bandits that Emery had caught during his last two Wolf Guild tasks, and among them there was one Magus who was called Frostmind.
"My sincere apologies, gentlemen," Emery said as he walked over to them. "I was occupied with some business and couldn't come earlier. Are you guys hungry?"
Not even waiting for their answer, Emery threw the fruit he just bought from the market onto the ground. In a matter of seconds, the fruits that were strewn and rolling on the ground were all gone; Frostmind the magus among them was not interested, the other five, however, were hungry enough that they finished them up quickly.
Frostmind shot Emery a threatening gaze as he said, "You can't keep us here forever! Tell me what you want from us!?"
"Calm down, will you?" said Emery calmly. Unfazed by his attitude, he heaved a sigh and said, "I told you already, right? I really have no bad intentions at all. In fact, I plan to let all of you off today."
It seemed that Emery's words came as a complete shock as all six of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Feeling no need to repeat his words, Emery told Yoro to open the cell that held the five saints and let them out. Even though they still had their magic constrained, they did not let go of such an opportunity and instantly charged at Yoro.
Unfortunately for them, just as they were about to muster their battle strength, all of them stumbled and crashed to the ground as they suddenly felt a sensation of numbness throughout their bodies.
Knowing instantly that this was not normal, Frostmind who was still in his cell shouted. "W–What did you do?!" His face changed as he recalled something. Looking at the leftovers scattered on the ground, he quickly said, "The fruit! you are poisoning them?!"
Once again, Emery spoke with a calm tone. "Don't worry. It's just a weakening poison, as a precaution only"
Now that the five were dealt off, Emery open Forstmind's cell himself, and with the other five bandits under his grasp, the magus did not dare to do anything.
"Lets go" Emery said.
When they emerged from their hideout, the towering half-blood Andrei was already waiting for them beside a wooden horse-drawn cart. Naturally, it was there to transport all the captives. After everyone had boarded, they quickly left the farm.
The trip didn't take long as they soon arrived at their destination. It was a small tavern that stood alone near a path south of Silvermane City. The place and surroundings were secluded and very quiet, with only a few people visiting.
As soon as Emery and his group stepped into the place, sensing the approaching trouble, all the guests flocked to their feet and made their way out of the tavern. Moments later, the place turned completely silent.
Unbothered, Emery casually sat down on a table together with his pack and his six captives.
"A drink for me and my friends here."
Emery tried to be a good host, however, it only further annoyed his captives. Before they were about to complain, all sensed the arrival of a powerful figure. Seconds later, the door was opened as a figure entered the tavern. It was someone the captives knew well; they all quickly nodded respectfully while saying, "Leader."
The so-called rebel/bandit leader was a middle-aged man with rugged facial features that exuded the aura of a peak Full Moon magus.
The man looked at his three captured subordinates, and after looking at Emery and his pack, he said, "What an interesting place to meet"
It was a well thought place. Since he was meeting a rebel leader, Emery knew he couldn't be too cautious. Even though the place was very remote, it was only a few tens of miles from Silvermane City. If they were to fight, there was a high chance that the warriors and guards of the Silvermane would come.
"I came by myself as requested." The man said, "Now release my men."
Fyer checked with his senses to confirm the statement, with a wave of Emery's hand, Yoro quickly removed their restraints one by one, and since their leader was in the room, neither of them dared to cause trouble. But then, Frostmind questioned Emery.
"What about the poison?"
As if he had expected the question, Emery casually said, "Don't worry. It will lose effect in another hour."
Realizing that their roles had been completed, the six men quickly exited the tavern, leaving Emery and his group with their leader.
"Thank you for releasing my man. Now tell me Evan, what is your objective?"
