Chapter 276

【As soon as he stepped out, he could see Black Natsu and Gildarts sitting in the cafe outside the palace.】

【"Yo! Master, are you out? What did they say?"】

【Gildarts put down the coffee cup in his hand and greeted Makarov with a smile.】

【The next moment! The outrageously thick compensation bill, no, or rather, the compensation document.】

【Shot out directly from Makarov's direction and smashed straight onto Gildarts' face.】

【In Black Natsu's eyes, Gildarts, who was just enjoying coffee with him, disappeared from his sight in an instant.】

【The next moment, a violent roar came from the side.】

【The coffee in Black Natsu's hand stopped in mid-air.】

【With a stunned gaze, he looked at Gildarts, who had been smashed by a book and embedded into the wall of the cafe.】

【His eyelids twitched slightly.】

【Then, he buried his head and continued drinking his coffee as if it had nothing to do with him.】

【At a time like this, you could guess with your butt why Makarov was so furious.】

【Therefore, as one of the main culprits, it's better for him to keep a low profile.】

【It's best to act as if he doesn't exist.】

【"Wow! Master, are you mistaken?? I'm still a wounded person, a wounded person!!!"】

【Gildarts pried himself off the wall and then complained angrily to Makarov.】

【"Wounded person?!!"】

【"I'm the one who's a wounded person now!! A high-blood-pressure wounded person!! You bastard, look at what you've done?"】

【Makarov, whose face was flushed red, pointed angrily at the compensation document stuck to Gildarts' forehead.】

【"Eh? What is this?"】

【Gildarts took off the document and opened it suspiciously to look.】

【"Regarding the specific matters of compensation for Haidonan Island (Monster Paradise)?"】

【Seeing this, Gildarts' eyes widened suddenly.】

【He raised his head incredibly and looked at Makarov.】

【"No way? Is this all??"】

【Makarov puffed up his cheeks, nodded, and said nothing.】

【"Hiss!!" Gildarts gasped.】

【"Is there this much??"】

【"If you find it troublesome, just look at the final total compensation amount."】

【Listening to Makarov's words, Gildarts hurriedly flipped to the last page.】

【One look!!!】

【Gildarts rolled his eyes directly.】

【He felt dizzy all over.】

【It wasn't this serious when he fought Black Natsu earlier.】

【".. 4…466 million??"】

【Pfft...】

【In his seat, Black Natsu sprayed out a mouthful of coffee and looked at Gildarts incredibly.】

【"How much??"】

【Gildarts was also a bit afraid that he had misread it, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.】

【The price was still that price.】

【But Gildarts was already numb.】

【"No, did we blow up a gold mine or something??"】

【"It is said that there really was a mine on that island."】

【Makarov sighed helplessly.】

【"But it wasn't gold, it was a magic crystal mine, although there wasn't much, it was indeed valuable, and now it's all been blown away by you two."】

【"Just think about how to pay it."】

【"I still have to write an incident report and a letter of apology to the Council later."】

【"Damn it, we were already talking about compensation with the Fiore royal family, and as a result, they also came to scold me, sigh..."】

【Makarov set his gaze on Gildarts.】

【"What do you say? How much can you pay?"】

【"Me?"】

【Gildarts pointed at himself, then shook his head like a rattle.】

【"I live in a thatched hut, and you're asking me how much I can pay??"】

【"About 1 million J..."】

【"1 million J???"】

【Makarov widened his eyes and stared fixedly at Gildarts.】

【"Are you kidding me? You, the strongest mage of Fairy Tail, can only come up with 1 million J?"】

【Gildarts heard this and felt a bit helpless: "Master, you should know! Every time I made money, didn't I treat you to the red-light district..."】

【"Cough, cough!!"】

【Before Gildarts could finish his words, Makarov immediately covered them up with a cough.】

【"We'll talk about your business later."】

【Makarov said and turned to look at Black Natsu.】

【Before he could speak, Black Natsu spread his hands.】

【"Don't look at me, I don't have any money either, you know, that villa isn't cheap, I only have 10 million J at most now..."】

【Makarov felt his heart starting to hurt a little.】

【Just at this moment, the cafe clerk cautiously handed a note to Makarov.】

【"What?" Makarov was full of confusion.】

【"That... this is the repair bill for the wall damage, please sign it..."】

【The clerk also seemed to see that Makarov was currently in a fit of rage.】

【He cautiously pointed to the wall that Gildarts had just smashed.】

【Makarov's eyes widened again.】

【His gaze looked at the wall that had just been smashed by Gildarts, and his eyes rolled back suddenly.】

【He fell straight down...】
