Based on his previous income standards, if he could squeeze all the mages present dry, it would be at least three million emotional value points as a baseline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five million emotional value points was not an impossible feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Lin Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a very serious matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the somewhat unserious Lin Cheng, a trace of anger quietly surfaced in Xiang's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that most of the core mages from the top Class Mage guilds were gathered here, and all the Ten Wizard Saints were present, except for the two strongest and the two who had already died or been expelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were some ordinary, unimportant matter, it would be one thing, but they were currently screening for spies; Lin Cheng's uncooperative attitude was truly unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xiang spoke to Lin Cheng with an unprecedentedly serious tone: \"If Mr. Lin Cheng is truly worried, or lacks confidence in his own appearance, you can come with me to another room for an inspection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not make any comments on Mr. Lin Cheng's appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xiang made an inviting gesture toward Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while making the inviting gesture, Xiang was also communicating through a specific secret code of the Blue Pegasus Class Mage Guild, relaying his suspicions to his guild master and the team leader, Ichiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had completely failed to find any relevant information on Lin Cheng in the official database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although this gathering of the allied forces looked grand, because it was a private summons by Makarov, irrelevant people simply did not know about this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Xiang highly suspected that Lin Cheng might be a person with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wasn't a member of the Akatsuki organization, he likely had significant ties to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Men~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This gentleman, if it is inconvenient, why not come with us to a secluded spot to remove your mask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ichiya also walked over with a serious expression at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the core of the core in Blue Pegasus, Ichiya's strength and status were similar to the status of Jura, the tail-end of the Ten Wizard Saints, within Lamia Scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, after the Gemini celestial spirit copied Ichiya's magic, it even cleanly and efficiently took down Jura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, although Ichiya was the comedic relief in the original work and almost never had a highlight moment, having never fought seriously from beginning to end, Ichiya's strength was definitely very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely possessed the power of the tail-end of the Ten Wizard Saints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, the successive remarks from Ichiya and Xiang also made the other mages around them vaguely sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Wolfheim and Warrod Sequen, two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, also furrowed their brows slightly, placing more attention on Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they would strike with shock the moment Lin Cheng showed anything suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Lin Cheng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the atmosphere became somewhat heavy, Wendy looked at Lin Cheng with concern not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wendy did not know what exactly had happened, this did not prevent her from sensing that Lin Cheng's situation was unfavorable; as a Dragon Slayer, Wendy's five senses were very keen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, all Dragon Slayers had very keen five senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendy could clearly feel that because of Lin Cheng, there was much more gunpowder in the air, as if it were on the verge of exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just a moment before the gunpowder was about to be ignited, Lin Cheng's laughter reached everyone's ears, slightly easing the tension and the smell of gunpowder in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, forget it, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's really no helping you guys; to know someone's identity, one doesn't necessarily have to see their face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng looked at the several gazes around him that were almost becoming tangible, smiled lightly, and said to Xiang and Ichiya: \"Mr. Xiang and Mr. Ichiya, as long as I can prove my identity through other means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That should be no problem, so there's no need for me to take off the mask on my face, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, since I look so plain, I rely entirely on the little bit of mystery provided by this mask to gain the favor of young ladies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Lin Cheng reached into his bosom, as if preparing to pull out something to prove his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Cheng's confident expression once again reduced the gunpowder in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lin Cheng was overly relaxed and confident, it even caused Xiang to have some self-doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Did I think too much?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Mr. Lin Cheng really doesn't look like a bad person.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang watched Lin Cheng, who was rummaging through his bosom to find something to prove his identity, and the previously heavy and serious expression on his face relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contact with Lin Cheng, Xiang also felt that Lin Cheng didn't look like a bad person, at most just a very strange one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such an expression, thought, and guilt from Xiang did not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in Xiang's somewhat stunned gaze, Lin Cheng slowly pulled a black trench coat with red clouds from his bosom and, just like that, leisurely put on the coat in front of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, let me solemnly introduce myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am an intern member of the Akatsuki organization, Lin Cheng. I look forward to your guidance in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After changing his clothes, Lin Cheng introduced himself to everyone present in a very gentlemanly manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching Lin Cheng, who had skillfully put on the Akatsuki uniform, the people present fell into a deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's gaze toward Lin Cheng was filled with disbelief; after all, the contrast between Lin Cheng and his previous self was too strong. Everyone had thought Lin Cheng was confidently proving his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, Lin Cheng was confidently proving his identity as a member of the Akatsuki organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've seen that outfit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back at the Tower of Heaven, the group of people around Jellal were wearing this kind of clothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza looked at Lin Cheng, who was wearing the Akatsuki uniform, her brows furrowed sharply, and she said: \"This person must be from the Akatsuki organization. I didn't expect the other side to react so quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They found our gathering place directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza's expression also became somewhat serious at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly, Erza's dress transformed into a ray of light, becoming her regular combat armor, the Heaven's Wheel Armor; Erza was already prepared for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, at the Tower of Heaven, what left a deep impression on Erza was not just Sosuke Aizen, but also the powerful strength brought by the members of the Akatsuki organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, what was displayed at that time was the confrontation between Sosuke Aizen and the person with the strange eyes from the Akatsuki organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, this guy is actually an enemy, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, watch me beat you up, you guy, watch this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Erza's words, the expression on Natsu's face quickly became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly ignited with raging flames all over his body, quickly rushing toward the direction where Lin Cheng was, shouting loudly: \"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Natsu, who could almost be said to possess the strength of an S-class Class Mage, erupted with full force, in just a short instant, he swept up rolling heat waves and rushed in front of Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist, wrapped in scorching flames, struck toward Lin Cheng's face without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit the face when fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're going to fight, just fight, why do you always aim for people's faces?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Natsu, who was aiming for his face, Lin Cheng said with some dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, he nonchalantly used his palm to catch Natsu's attacks one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of Natsu's punches looked very ordinary, but in reality, they were extremely powerful, each possessing the explosive and destructive power of a tank shell as they slammed toward Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that every one of Natsu's strikes and punches was caught by Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng was like that towering, immovable Mount Tai; no matter how hard Natsu tried, he couldn't shake him even a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also very normal, as Lin Cheng was currently sharing 55% of the attributes of two A-class puppets, especially since one of them was an A-class three-star puppet, the Sloth Bishop who had become a Primal Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Lin Cheng stood on the earth, his strength would be inexhaustible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was almost a replica of the Obelisk the Tormentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that even if Lin Cheng didn't use any power, just based on his base attributes, 99% of the people present couldn't beat him; even Wolfheim and Warrod Sequen, these two Heavenly King-level Ten Wizard Saints, were a bit shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was of the Dragon race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the skills, Lin Cheng also inherited 55% of its terrifying physical constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If every rank could be divided into +, normal, and -, then the Blue-Eyes White Dragon definitely belonged to the A+ rank puppet. As for Ace, Lin Cheng had previously thought he should be an ordinary A-class puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as an example, and Nagato Uzumaki who possessed the Six Paths Sage Sage Mode, Lin Cheng felt that although Ace was also an A-class puppet, he was probably at the A- level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the same three-star, the A+ level Six Paths Nagato could completely crush the A- level Ace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting, interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does he possess such strength even as just an intern member?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, a man with a drunken gaze, seeing Lin Cheng dealing with Natsu with ease, smiled slightly, then directly ran a series of steps and rushed toward Lin Cheng's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his hands were in a strange stance, seemingly unintentionally swinging toward Lin Cheng's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man with a drunken gaze was Bacchus, the core combat power of the powerful Class Mage guild Quatro Cerberus, an S-class Class Mage who integrated martial arts and magic to create a new school of Magic-Martial Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"．「Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1716,"2026-06-16T12:13:33.210Z","2026-06-16T12:23:18.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f2d30d82368c6e33585e785c4f8ddf0c7ed4bf14d8f6bc3441907de71995477a","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-64","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-62",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
