Chapter 241

The one who came was none other than Fire Fist Ace, who hadn't appeared in quite some time.

With Ace's arrival, the fairies, who had finally quieted down, fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into even louder cheers.

"Ace!"

"Ace is here!"

"I've missed you to death!"

……

"Long time no see, everyone!"

After pulling Natsu up, Ace revealed a very polite smile.

"Ace, wasn't anyone stopping you when you came in?"

After the commotion, some people also came to their senses and looked at Ace with some concern.

Ever since Ace was taken away by the Fapingyi Society, they hadn't seen him.

Although they had heard that Ace had caused a huge commotion at the Fapingyi Society and then left, they still couldn't quite set their minds at ease.

"No, they only questioned me briefly before letting me in," Ace said with a smile.

Although he had caused a huge commotion, in truth the Fapingyi Society didn't dare do anything to Ace.

After all, by every reasonable measure it was the Pingyi Society's side that had spoken provocatively, and with the terrifying force of the Bai Huzi Pirates behind Ace, naturally they didn't dare say anything.

At present, the Akatsuki organization, the Monu Sect, and the World Government were already enough to give them a headache; provoking the Bai Huzi Pirates on top of that was clearly not a wise move.

"Actually, this time I came to see how you've all been doing. From what I know, some time ago you seemed to have suffered an attack from the World Government — is that true?"

The moment the words fell, the smiles on everyone's faces present visibly froze.

"What's wrong?"

"Did something happen?"

Ace looked at the unnatural expressions on everyone's faces and immediately asked with a look of curiosity, as if he knew absolutely nothing about the matter.

"Did I ask something I shouldn't have?"

As he spoke, Makarov walked out from the crowd.

"It's not that I can say so, but first time meeting you — hello, Mr. Ace."

"I am the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov."
