Chapter 572

Quite a number of citizens had already started running—they knew exactly what kind of lunatics those from Fairy Tail were.

If a fight broke out, even their own guild could be destroyed, let alone the town of Magnolia.

The whole town might very well be wiped out, and that realization made even more people start to panic.

And at that very moment, Hiaberian had already arrived at the gates of Fairy Tail.

Makarov and the mages of Fairy Tail had long since come to that gate to wait.

Within the town of Magnolia, there were still a few old-timers who were fairly familiar with Fairy Tail.

Very soon, when the Fapingyi Society entered the town of Magnolia, word had already been sent to them.

Compared with the other guilds, Fairy Tail would absolutely never fear the Fapingyi Society.

"Master Makarov, it has been a long time."

The moment Hiaberian saw Makarov, he bowed and offered a greeting.

A trace of apology showed on his face, and seeing that, Makarov was immediately baffled.

He had expected a fierce battle, but had not imagined it would turn out like this.

Such a polite Hiaberian—he really had seen it only rarely; probably only back when Hiaberian had just entered the Fapingyi Society and become a member of the Ten Holy Wizards.

"You damned Fapingyi Society—what do you lot think you're coming to the town of Magnolia for?"

"Get out of here right now, or this great lord will burn you all to death!"

Natsu Dragneel was as hot-tempered as ever, the blazing flames in both hands beginning to burn ever more fiercely.

But before he could charge out, Erza punched him squarely on the head, and he passed out cold.

"Master Makarov's children are as full of vigor as ever."

Hiaberian was not angered by Natsu's rudeness—or rather, normally speaking, he would have been.

He would probably have already lost his temper, and not only that, he very likely would have arrested Natsu on the spot.

But today, he had not come to offend Makarov and Fairy Tail any further.

"Hiaberian, just say it straight."

"Coming to the town of Magnolia, you surely aren't here just to have a look around, are you?"

Makarov's brow furrowed slightly, the expression on his face hardly changing.

Unable to make head or tail of it, he still hoped above all that Hiaberian would give him an answer.

"I wish to invite Master Makarov to return to the Ten Holy Wizards, to return to the Fapingyi Society."

Hiaberian bent at the waist, his expression sincere as he looked at Makarov.

And those words immediately left everyone present dumbfounded, unable to help but hesitate.

The Fapingyi Society was hardly an organization that spoke so softly.

Although it was Makarov who had taken the initiative to leave the Ten Holy Wizards, in truth it was Hiaberian and the others who had forced him out.

But now, at this very moment, Hiaberian would actually come in person to seek reconciliation?

Had the Fapingyi Society taken the wrong medicine?

That was what everyone could not help thinking to themselves.

Across the continent of Ishgar, it was not only the Fapingyi Society that disliked and took a dim view of their Fairy Tail.

And the reverse was just as true—Fairy Tail likewise looked upon the Fapingyi Society with equal disdain.
