Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 606 What About Another Favor?

In fact, most descendants of renowned families were just ordinary people in terms of capabilities. Their strong suits were their resources and connections, which made their starting point much higher than average. If some of them happened to be gifted, they could easily distinguish themselves. Their upper and lower bounds were both very high.

The influence of their parents and grandparents gave them a good edge. Of course, there were descendants who squandered all the resources of their family, but not many, because they always had more chances to try out different things than ordinary people did.

Until they wasted all their family fortune, they could always find a new path to riches.

In this world, the nobles had even more chances to fail.

It had been ten years since Martin took over the Guild of Warriors at twenty-five.

Nobody thought highly of the Guild of Warriors back then, but at this moment, half of its members were loyal to him. It meant that his supporters were really powerful.

Whenever he did something wrong, there were always people who took care of everything for him.

There were few things that Martin was scared of in such an environment, except a couple of forces that could crush his family. But his family had sworn loyalty to one of those forces; it was the royal family’s hound now.

Whoever wanted to hit his family had to consider the royal family’s feelings on the matter.

Martin, on the other hand, wanted to go a step further. He wanted to join the royal family for real, and Stephanie was a great target. She was the dignified future queen. As long as he could cling to her thigh, he would be a member of the royal family too.

His family would make further progress. Even if his title wasn’t improved, his influence would still be significantly increased.

At this moment, he stood before the First Princess like a hero.

Although his face was teeming with fury and he looked at Roland with icy eyes, he was actually grinning happily in his heart.

He thanked this devil Mage for giving him such a great opportunity to show himself.

He also thanked Grantham, his trusted subordinate, for giving him such a piece of important intelligence.

The First Princess must be looking at me in admiration behind me.

That was what he thought.

But actually... Stephanie was laughing delightedly behind him.

Her eyes were full of mockery, and she looked at him as if he were a clown.

Having spent a lot of time with Andonara and Roland, she knew them quite well.

In her eyes, the combination of Andonara and Roland was almost invincible.

In particular, after Roland grew up and set up a floating city, they would be fearless of anything in the entire main plane.

Roland had great potential.

On many occasions, potential didn’t mean promise, because there were too many uncertainties in this world, and many geniuses with great potential had died before they grew up.

But Roland wouldn’t.

The Golden Sons were undying. They would never die young

Also, Stephanie had witnessed what Roland did recently. He was a man who had boundaries but was also flexible.

That was why Andonara was so devoted to him.

Could such a man be a devil?

Stop playing. There was no telling who tricked Martin into believing in such intelligence.

It seemed that someone really wanted him dead.

Stephanie’s eyes evinced even more curiosity and mockery.

Martin was still feeling good about himself, but the onlooking nobles noticed that the First Princess’s eyes weren’t right.

They realized something, and many people began to grimace.

Seeing that the people around him were smiling, Martin got happier too.

He would’ve sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t right if it were another occasion.

But at his moment, his eyes had been blinded by his inflating ego, and he thought that those people were smiling to encourage him.

Therefore, he waved his hand magnificently and said, “Someone, take this lying devil Mage away and lock him up.”

Roland raised his eyebrows.

A few guards who were responsible for the safety of the party gathered around.

Roland looked around but didn’t see Grantham. He was wondering how he should proceed, when someone stood forth.

“Young Martin, I can’t pretend that I didn’t hear that.”

A middle-aged noble, who was wearing a magic robe, stepped out and nodded at Roland with a smile. He then looked at Martin with a grave if not criticizing expression. “Since when have you had the power to punish someone from the Association of Mages?”

Martin looked at the noble Mage in surprise. “Hogan, what’s the meaning of this? Did you not hear my explanation? He is a wicked Mage. Very wicked. Does the Association of Mages intend to cover for him?”

“Do you have any evidence for your claim?” Hogan waved his hand and declared angrily, “Then I’ll accuse you of incest, Young Martin!” “That’s venomous slander!” Young Martin trembled in fury. “Why? You think whatever you say is true but my word isn’t?” Hogan opened his hands and scoffed. “I’m as renowned as you, aren’t I? Besides, since when do the Warriors get to deal with the affairs within the Association of Mages?”

“You!” Martin was so furious that he intended to bite someone.

Hogan had been warm and brotherly to him only a couple of days earlier. Why had he suddenly changed his attitude? Was it because he was involved with this wicked Mage?

The more he thought about it, the more he believed that it was true. He was the chairman of the Guild of Warriors anyway, and Hogan was a mere director in the Association of Mages. He saw no reason why he should be scared of this man, especially when he had proof of the culprit’s evils.

So, he declared toughly, “Hogan, get out of my way, or I’ll capture you too.” “Very good, very good.” Hogan trembled in fury. “I’m standing right here. Let’s see if any of them dares to capture me.”

“Don’t underestimate my courage.”

Martin sensed that Stephanie had been staring at his back, so he felt that he should be more assertive.

He believed that the First Princess would love an unyielding man.

He would not back off.

With a heart full of courage, Martin waved his hand and roared, “Then capture Hogan too!” “Then you should capture me too.” “And me.”

“Count me in.”

“I don’t think Mr. Roland is a bad person either.”

A dozen nobles who were willing to go to prison with Hogan showed up, and all of them wore Mage attire.

The whole party was filled with humming noises.

The onlookers who were not involved tried not to blink, fearing that they might miss any spectacular part of the show.

At this moment, Martin looked extremely awful.

If Hogan were the only opposition, he could keep the man in custody for a few days before setting him free. Then, the whole thing could be forgotten if he offered some monetary compensation.

However, a dozen oppositions would mean something entirely different.

Those people represented different forces large and small.

If they joined their forces, even the Martin family had to give in. After all, enough ants could bite an elephant to death.

Besides, one of the oppositions was from the royal family!

Wait!

Martin finally realized something wrong. How on earth was the royal family involved in this?

Shocked, he turned around and looked at Stephanie.

Then, a chill shot from his spine straight to the top of his head. He felt that his hair was standing on end with fear.

He saw nothing but mockery in the First Princess’s eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot.

He looked around. At this moment, he finally realized that the nobles were laughing at him, not Roland.

Eventually, he fixed his eyes on Roland.

He reexamined the painting in his trembling hand and compared it with Roland, who was still calm. Then, he closed his eyes and said, “It can’t be wrong. This is exactly him.”

“There are a lot of people who look very similar.” Roland didn’t hesitate to stab him in the heart. “Grantham!”

Martin seemed to have realized something.

“I’m sorry. It appears that I was mistaken.”

It was the grand nobles’ motto to stoop when necessary. There was always a chance to get back at people as long as they were still alive.

So, Martin apologized promptly. “Why should there be law if an apology is enough?”

Hogan remarked coldly.

It was a saying that came from the Golden Sons. For some reason, it sounded quite cool.

Therefore, many young nobles had been using it as their catchphrase.

“Then what do I need to do for you to forgive me, Hogan?”

Hogan shook his head. “I’ll report the matter to the Council of Elders. Not only did you threaten and frame Roland, but you also insulted me and many other Mages. So, just wait and talk to our leadership.” Martin clenched his fists but didn’t say anything

Very soon, the party was over.

The host was too down to continue the festivities.

However, the nobles that came were quite happy.

They had enjoyed a rare drama, and if it kept escalating, it would be more or less in their favor too.

So, these people were so happy that they were almost excited.

Roland escorted the First Princess back to her manor, and then he went to a desolate place in the north of the city.

Grantham was already waiting for him with several Warriors.

Seeing Roland, he stepped forward and asked the Warriors to carry a heavy chest to him.

In front of Roland, Grantham opened the chest with great strength.

There was a green light that was flashing slowly from inside the chest as if it were breathing

“The Meteorite Minerals!” Looking at the bright green crystals inside the chest, Roland smiled in satisfaction and absorbed them into the system Backpack.

Grantham was quite impressed, as Roland’s portable space seemed to be astonishingly huge.

To call the man a genius would be an understatement.

“I didn’t know that you were so fully prepared.” Roland looked at Grantham in admiration. “You even went undercover by yourself.”

“That’s nothing. After this incident, everybody in the Guild of Warriors will think less of Martin.” Grantham smiled. “However, it takes time to really oust him, so I’d like to ask you another favor.”
