Chapter 514

Hades: "Is it here? The story of Black Natsu!"

Brain: "I'm quite curious, in this Phantom Lord incident, what exactly is Black Natsu going to do?"

"Will he respect Makarov's will and swallow his pride, or..."

Ultear: "Does that even need thinking? That guy isn't the type to take a loss lying down!"

Jellal: "However, if that happens, it's undeniable that it will very likely provoke the Council to intervene, and by then, I reckon it won't be a good result for either side."

Ultear: "That's true, factors from all sides should be considered. I remember that Fairy Tail during that period couldn't afford a single mistake."

"Otherwise, they would very likely face the risk of dissolution."

Sting: "I'm a bit different from you guys, what I'm more concerned about... is the Master of Phantom Lord!"

"Speaking of which, the screen has already broadcasted up to here, how come we haven't seen that Jose come out to speak?"

Sting's words made everyone pause in surprise.

That's right, it seems that since the screen started playing until now, we haven't seen Jose come out to speak.

This guy... could he be dead?

But that's not right either; under the influence of this screen, even those who have died should have their souls able to revive and participate in the discussion.

Ichiya: "Men~, is there anyone who can tag Jose?"

"Let him come and participate in the discussion. After all, in the current screen, Jose can be considered a major character, right?"

At this moment, in a certain blacksmith shop on this continent.

Jose wiped the sweat from his forehead with a sinister expression.

Although he was very unhappy inside, he ultimately sighed.

He opened the world channel.

The screen full of tags made the corner of his eye twitch continuously.

Jose: "I say, do you guys have some kind of problem?"

"Can't you just let a person have some peace?"

Happy: "Jose has appeared!"

970 Lucy: "Looks like he's still around. I remember he should have been arrested back then."

Lahar: "He was released from prison long ago, but this guy seems to have lost his magic. I don't know where he's making a living now."

Levy: "Really? Even his magic is gone?"

"What exactly did the Master do back then?"

Makarov: "Huh? I just released Fairy Law, and the screen just showed it too. Can you blame me for that?"

Mavis: "Actually, strictly speaking, Fairy Law has a chance of causing the target to lose their magic."

"When the holy light penetrates too deeply into the target's body, it will judge their magic power, magic source, and so on, causing them to lose their magic."

Jose: "You bunch of bastards, have you said enough?"

"Did you call me out just to mock me?"

Seemingly poked in a sore spot, Jose's tone was somewhat angry.

Makarov: "Well, calm down, calm down. It's been so many years, you should be a bit more mature by now, right?"

Jose: "Makarov!!!"

Jose gritted his teeth, but apart from hurling angry curses, he had no other way.

After all, he couldn't do anything now.

Thinking of this, he vented by fiercely hammering the iron tool in his hand.

After breathing heavily for a few moments, he spoke in a low voice.

"I say, what do you intend to ask by dragging me out?"

Sting: "Haha, actually it's nothing, just wanted to interview you, how do you feel right now?"

Jose's eyes widened!

Let him speak?

Speak about what?

Speak about how he racked his brains but was still abused?

Speak about his experience of being incredibly arrogant and finally being beaten by Makarov until he almost knelt?

Jose: "Kid, you really dare to say that!"

Sting: "What's there not to dare? Irene didn't say anything earlier."

Irene: "??? Kid, you are truly courting death!"

Sting: "Sorry, sorry, it just slipped out. Anyway, the point is to participate in the discussion. After all, you're not the only victim."

Everyone: "..."

Rogue: "You'd better stop talking, Sting."

Lector: "Although I really want to agree with Sting, but... Rogue is right this time. You'd better stop talking. I'm afraid that a bunch of people who are already unhappy will rush to our Sabertooth and take it out on us, and then we'll be finished..."

【Just as everyone was chatting heatedly, the black-bordered screen finished loading.】

【Soon, a new scene appeared.】

【"Master, do you really think that if we adopt this indifferent attitude, the other side will stop?"】

【The beginning of the scene is Black Natsu questioning Makarov.】

【Makarov, watched by Black Natsu and the others, had slightly flushed cheeks.】

【His expression was somewhat helpless.】

【"Yeah, yeah, those guys definitely won't let it go. We can't just passively wait for them to invade us, right?"】

【The hot-tempered Mirajane also couldn't help it.】

【After she and the others learned the news that the guild had been attacked, they immediately rushed back from Galuna Island without stopping.】

【The moment they saw with their own eyes the guild pierced by several giant iron pillars.】

【The anger in everyone's hearts was burning like fire.】

【Mirajane even threatened to go straight to Phantom Lord's guild, to pay them back in kind, an eye for an eye and blood for blood.】

【But, before she could take action, she was stopped by Makarov.】

【"I know you are all very unhappy and angry right now, but... let this matter end here."】

【Makarov's words left Mirajane completely unable to understand.】

【Black Natsu and Erza understood Makarov's good intentions, but to be honest, Black Natsu did not agree with this approach.】

【The other side has clearly targeted you, and you still attempt to use silence to exchange for that pitifully small chance of them stopping.】

【Is such a thing... possible?】

【Facing Black Natsu's questioning, Makarov let out a drunken hiccup.】

【Then he looked at Black Natsu earnestly: "This matter is not as simple as you imagine. Our guild is already in imminent danger."】

【"The Council... sigh... forget it. Anyway, this matter ends here, no one is allowed to mention it again."】

【Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Makarov took a deep breath and turned to leave the spot.】

【Bang!】

【Gray punched the stone pillar beside him in anger.】
