A merchant's network was vast, to say the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's about time someone took action,\" said a plump merchant dressed in lavish clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around him shared the same sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, we've needed heroes like him for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what a Magus should be like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one of the taverns located in the Outer City, the patrons debated in a very lively manner. They leaned over tables, ale mugs in hand, discussing the actions of the Black Vengeance with great enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Burning the whole place to the ground?\" A man grumbled as he slammed his mug on the round wooden table. \"Isn't that going a little too far?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man, a middle-aged dwarf, stroked his beard and replied with complicated emotions, \"Indeed. His actions make him no different than the evil-doers that he killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right!\" A drunken man from the side commented, \"I even heard there were a few casualties inside the building—hiccup—as a result of the building burning—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was viciously interrupted by one of the barmaid who was overhearing their conversation from the other side of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut your mouth!\" She retorted, \"He freed those slaves! Did you see how many of them there were? How dare you fault him for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another woman chimed in, \"That's right! Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drunken man who had made the previous comment shrunk back, \"But it's a fact that some people died in there…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" The barmaid harrumphed. \"The people who go to such places and engage in such indecent actions aren't your model citizens either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven't you heard? There's a rumor going around that the Rollins couple allowed their patrons to kill the courtesans blatantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the Black Vengeance did was the right thing! If it were me, I would have dealt with all those perverted bastards. Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes such as this were playing out all throughout the Outer City. Adam's actions had won these people's support and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, within the walls of the Inner City, it was a different story altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, the reactions were mixed. Wealthy nobles and powerful Magi discussed the events of last night with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such actions cannot be condoned,\" said an elderly Magus who was having a meal with some friends in an opulent restaurant. \"They undermine the rule of law that the Empire has set down. More often than not, they can lead to chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, within the same restaurant, a group of young Magi, hailing from affluent families, could be seen whispering amongst each other with reluctant approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must admit, it was disgusting what they did to those poor women,\" said a young woman, \"the fact that the Rollins couple were able to continue with such illegal activities for so long is very concerning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another young Magus couldn't help but nod in acknowledgment. \"Perhaps this will prompt the enforcement authorities to act more decisively from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can only hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in Acryon was filled with mixed emotions. Streets and alleys that previously used to be quiet were now filled with lively conversations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, in the red-light district, people would walk up to the burned-out remains of the Velvet Dreams and talk about how viciously the Rollins couple had been hung and burned to their deaths here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everything would turn out to be futile in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every nook and cranny of the city, the Black Vengeance's actions from last night were the topic of the hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some admired him, calling him a true hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others admonished him, calling him a dangerous outlaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night's event had thoroughly touched the city to its core. Everyone in the city, even the most ignorant, now knew of the Magus called Black Vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the man in question was leisurely strolling through the cobblestone streets of the city harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike every other day, however, today Adam was wearing loose white robes instead of his usual attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For obvious reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breeze from the ocean brushed past him, making his raven hair gently flutter. The youth breathed in the salty air with a faint smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the wine gourd hanging from his waist, uncorked it, and took a large swig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa! It tastes surprisingly good today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he saw a small group of Sentinels approaching him from the front. Their expressions were solemn and their hands were on the hilts of their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam remained calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this group of red-caped Magi was only a few meters away from him, he suddenly stepped to the side and politely made way for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sentinels only glanced at him for a moment before walking away, seemingly in search of the Magus who had turned the entire city upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam glanced at these Magi's departing back, his lips curling up into a mocking smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned back around and was about to head toward his destination, he found that a figure was already standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth wasn't surprised, however. He had already sensed this person in his Sphere of Resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson stood before the youth, his face twisting in frustration, but his eyes shining with respect and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to you?\" Adam taunted the man. \"Did you not sleep well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson gritted his teeth, seemingly about to pounce on the youth and deliver a beating any moment now. But in the end, he sighed and then turned around, walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me. Some people would like to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-05-29T04:44:34.705Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","597c6e4d8161b3dbd2f980d21f3bf059dfc53ccf9d8ae6fa5117489a6f429e7e","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-372","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-370",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
