My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 119
Chapter 119: Pride And The Mage Guild
“Young Master Watson, I can’t take my eyes off your handsome face! If you were a girl, I would have fallen in love with you. But, if you were a mature man, I think I would have become your most loyal servant…”
Allen gestured with his hands on his chest and was about to say more about Watson’s strengths.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of panic. He had completely forgotten what he was about to say. His expression became stiff as a wave of fatigue accompanied by drowsiness assaulted him. He wanted to close his eyes.
What had happened?
Allen panicked. He opened his mouth and asked, “What’s wrong with me? I suddenly feel so sleepy and sad.” He cried.
The people around looked at Allen as if he was an idiot. They thought that Allen wanted to collect rewards again; they decided to ignore him. Instead, they bowed to Watson and said, “Young Master Watson, thank you so much for your help. If it were not for you, we would be in danger, so—”
They wanted to thank Watson first and then express their loyalty. At the same time, they wanted Watson to help treat the injured men. They had suffered many casualties when they attacked the Demoness Bandit Gang because of the Primordial Demoness. Many of their guards were petrified, and many manor owners had lost their limbs.
Since Watson was so powerful, he should be able to remove the petrification spell.
However, they felt a fit of inexplicable anger in their hearts, and it affected their words. “So, Young Master Watson, you have such powerful strength. Why did you not act earlier?”
“That’s right; if you had acted earlier, we would not have ended like this. You intentionally let our men die and use this as an opportunity to suppress us and take over our manor, right? You b*stard!”
The moment the words came out of their mouths, a few bright manor owners covered their mouths. Their expressions were filled with anger mixed with panic. What had happened? Those were not the words they wanted to say. They had uttered such disrespectful words; would Watson kill them?
Watson watched all of them with a calm expression. “You don’t have to worry. This matter is related to Blackmoon Castle, so I will compensate for all of your losses.”
Those people had acted like that because of the emotional resonance that he had activated. If he wanted to make those people angry, then they would be furious. If he wanted to make them sad, no one would be able to laugh.
According to his test, the range of the emotional resonance was quite extensive—at least 100 meters. The only drawback was that when he made others fall into excited emotions, he would experience a similar effect.
Fortunately, he had lived two lifetimes, and his soul strength was stronger than an average person. So he forcefully suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart and decided to take off the mask on his face when he got home to see if there was a way to remove the side effects.
“Isn’t that what you should do… I mean, thank you, Young Master Watson.” One of the manor owners changed his words forcefully and bit his tongue; it caused his face to twist in pain.
“How can you compensate for human life? Are you going to use gold coins to buy the lives of our men? How interesting! A hundred gold coins for a person. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to believe your sincerity—”
Slap!
Before the other manor owner could finish his sentence, he raised his hand and slapped himself viciously. He sounded like he wanted to cry. “Young Master Watson, I did not mean what I said just now. I don’t know what’s wrong with me either.”
“It’s okay. I can understand your feelings.”
Watson blinked. He had a childish innocent look on his face when he canceled the emotional resonance spell discreetly.
The people around him immediately returned to their normal selves. The angry people were no longer mad, and Allen no longer cried. Instead, all of them looked at Watson with admiration.
They had spoken ill of Watson, but he had comforted them instead. What an angel!
They lived in a world where people respected those who were strong. Watson could have killed them and seized their properties. However, he did not do that. Instead, he was kind enough to eliminate all of the bandit groups. So what if they had to pay the price to bear witness to that historic feat?
“As long as you do your best to work for Blackmoon Castle, then I won’t mistreat you! Alright, if there’s nothing else, we shall head back. We’ll talk about the rest after we leave the Misty Forest.”
Phew.
After he confirmed that he was fine, Allen let out a long sigh and rubbed his cheeks. “Young Master Watson, what about the Demoness Bandit Gang?”
Watson turned his head and looked at the Demoness Bandit Gang leaders; they looked pitiful. Other than Envy, the other women stared at him with conflicted expressions on their faces.
“Bring them back with us. If anyone disobeys, then—” Watson wanted to ask him to kill them. He had snatched their masks; they would not let the matter rest. Furthermore, he did not think highly of them due to his experience with Lady Gluttony. Therefore, he was not willing to accept them into Blackmoon Castle even though they were silver-tier elites.
However, before he could finish speaking, the Demoness Bandit Gang leaders knelt in front of him. Envy was the first to do that.
“Young Master Watson, we’ll go with you.”
The women looked calm. First, it was because their lives were threatened. Then, it was because of what Watson had just done to them. Those were the two reasons they wanted to go with Watson.
The Demoness Bandit Gang had a complete description of the Great Sin Mask. Before it broke, the Great Sin Mask had the magical ability to affect the emotions of others. Watson had displayed that ability perfectly, and they wanted to know how he did that.
..
Monte town.
On the main road not far from the town entrance was the Mage Guild. It had a big sign, and it was exceptionally lively that day.
There were luxurious carriages with different signs parked at the entrance. Many guards stood outside those carriages, and it was quiet inside the Mage Guild. The young ladies at the counter did not even dare to breathe loudly while a high-profile meeting was held on the second floor.
The people in the meeting included the Mage Guild’s president, vice president of and four elders.
“Everyone, tell us! What do you think about Elder Folson’s death at the border?”
Audrey sat at the head of the table. Her long eyelashes drooped as they covered her beautiful black eyes that were as gorgeous as the starry sky. Her long hair almost reached her waist, but half of it was covered by the mage hat she wore.
Even though she asked the question, Audrey did not look at the six people across from her. Instead, she trimmed her light purple nails casually. She had just colored her nails, and there was a faint floral fragrance on them.
She had acted insolently, but those powerful mages did not dare to complain about it.
Lady Audrey was the Mage Guild’s president; she was a powerful gold-tier mage. However, they did not know that Audrey had another identity—she was Pride, the Demoness Bandit Gang’s leader
