Chapter 249

[Watching Makarov's departing back, his eyes were full of unwillingness.]

["Damn it... why doesn't the old man care about anything?"]

["Actually, the Guild Master is just as unwilling as everyone else, but..."] [Lisanna lowered her head.]

["We have already become a thorn in the side of the Magic Council. At this critical juncture, if we start a war between guilds..."]

["But, didn't they strike first?"] [Lucy asked, puzzled.]

["Even so, we should report it to the Magic Council and wait for them to mediate. That is the normal procedure," Lisanna said.]

["In short, our guild absolutely cannot fight back. Once we fight back, it will be defined as participating in an internal struggle between guilds."]

["Damn it! What kind of logic is that?"] [Mirajane roared in frustration.]

["Alright, stop arguing."] [Black Natsu interrupted the crowd's argument.]

[Looking directly at the people in front of him, he said: "Go back and rest. You must be tired after all these days."]

[As the words fell, Black Natsu turned around and walked out of the guild.]

["Hey, Natsu... even you..."]

[Gray looked at Black Natsu's back and spoke.]

["Gray, stop talking."] [Erza shook her head gently.]

["Since the Guild Master has decided this way, there's nothing we can do."]

[...]

[At the same time, at the headquarters of Phantom Lord.]

[Under the gloomy tones, countless people were gathered, laughing wildly and wantonly.]

["Hahaha, I heard, Gajeel!"]

["You actually went to attack Fairy Tail. You're really something! I bet those guys were scared out of their wits, right?"]

["They really deserved it, hahahaha!!!"]

[A member came to a corner of the guild and spoke to the figure who was eating cutlery.]

[But, he was met with a thick iron rod that slammed directly into his chin.]

[Boom!!]

[The Phantom Lord member was sent flying dozens of meters away.]

[The sudden roar made the noisy guild instantly quiet down.]

[Gajeel slowly withdrew his arm.]

[A look of disdain appeared on his face, which was covered in steel studs.]

["Didn't I say? Don't disturb me when I'm eating?"]

[Gajeel's fierce eyes swept across the room, and suddenly, the entire guild was silent.]

[Gajeel smiled: "So what if it's Fairy Tail? It's just a guild that has risen in recent years. Before that, we were always the strongest!"]

[Clap clap clap...]

[Just then, applause came from the second floor.]

["You did a good job this time, Mr. Gajeel."]

[A man wearing a magic robe and a magic hat walked out slowly.]

[His sinister eyes looked at Gajeel below, and his face, painted with smoky makeup, was full of smiles.]

["Guild Master? You're here too."]

[Gajeel glanced at Jose on the second floor and spoke indifferently.]

["After all, it's the day you returned, so of course I would be here," Jose said.]

["However, although the seeds of fire have been planted this time, I don't think those guys will move for this level, so we need to add more fuel to the fire."]

["Give them a big gift?"] [Gajeel seemed a bit excited.]

[Jose on the second floor nodded gently.]

[Seeming to remember something, Jose continued: "However... there is one person on the other side who is worth noting."]

["That guy who uses Fire Dragon Slayer Magic?"] [Gajeel looked up at Jose.]

["Yes, it is said that he is very strong and has returned to Fairy Tail today. This person is not simple."]

[Gajeel seemed a bit unhappy: "Even the Guild Master is wary of that guy?"]

["That's not it, just letting you pay attention," Jose replied.]

[Gajeel raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.]

["Let me ask you, how is my strength?"]

[Jose gave the answer without hesitation: "In the Phantom Lord guild, you are the strongest, Mr. Gajeel."]

["Hehe..." Gajeel clenched his fists tightly!]

[He laughed wantonly.]

["Gee-hee~ Then... I'll be the one to finish off that guy named Natsu!"]

[...]

[At the same time, on the other side.]

[A figure also walked slowly out of the train station.]

[His gaze looked into the distance.]

[Vaguely, he could already see the tallest and most luxurious building in the town.]

["Is this the place? Phantom Lord!"]

[Black Natsu murmured softly, then did not hesitate, put his hands in his pockets, and stepped out of the station.]

[His figure disappeared into the crowd...]

["Hahaha!! Those cowards at Fairy Tail, even like this, they can still endure it."]

["Who says they can't? If not for our Guild Master Jose's foresight, this level wouldn't be enough!"]

["So, did Guild Master Jose and Lord Gajeel go to add more fuel to the fire?"]

["As for Guild Master Jose, he is elusive and I don't know where he went, but what is certain is that Lord Gajeel has already set off just now."]

["I guess tomorrow's news will definitely be interesting, right?"]

["Of course, just thinking about the newspapers carrying the screams of the fairies makes one uncontrollably excited!"]

[Black Natsu had just arrived at the main entrance of the Phantom Lord headquarters guild when he keenly heard the wanton laughter coming from inside.]

["Add more fuel to the fire? Could it be... are the guys from Phantom Lord going to attack our guild again?"]

[Happy, who was following along, spoke in disbelief.]

["Could it be... are they not afraid of the sanctions of the Magic Council?"]

[To this, Black Natsu shook his head indifferently: "Aren't we the same for coming here today, not intending to care about any Magic Council?"]

["Although, we came in our personal capacity."]

["That's true," Happy nodded in realization.]

["However, listening to those guys inside, Jose and that guy named Gajeel have already left here. It's possible they want to go to Magnolia to attack our guild members."]

["So, should we chase them? With my speed and your sense of smell, they won't get far," Happy asked.]

[Black Natsu shook his head: "No need, they will come back by themselves in a while."]

["At least, Gajeel will. I know that guy."]

["Just a rebellious teenager, needs to be taught a good lesson."]

["As for Jose..."] [Black Natsu didn't speak again, but that posture already spoke for itself.]

[Happy, who was familiar with Black Natsu, knew clearly.]

[This time, Black Natsu was truly angry, and the consequences would be very serious!]

[With that, Black Natsu stepped forward and pushed open the closed door.]

[Creak!!!]

[The wooden door made a harsh sound.]

[It also attracted the Phantom Lord members who were feasting in the guild.]

[Pairs of eyes looked toward the main entrance.]

[The figure of the one man and one cat.]
