A mirror was handed to them from the side.

John reached out and took it.

The person reflected in the mirror was a handsome young man.

“This is...me.” John touched his face.

"Frank, you..."

He was very happy and turned to speak to Frank, but then he saw several strangers.

John's expression changed drastically. While controlling the Blood Vine to attack the group, he also controlled the Blood Vine to propel himself backward—away from them.

'puff'

The blood vine pierced through a person's body, but the person still had a smile on their face, as if they had not been attacked at all.

The others used powerful magic to sever his blood vines.

They are all very powerful mages.

Before today, John had heard a little about these people.

The Skull Guild's defeat today proves that these people are definitely not someone he can defeat!

John was quick-witted. He knew magic, but he wasn't a registered mage; he was a businessman—for decades, he had been accustomed to handling problems with a businessman's logic.

John smiled, even somewhat ingratiatingly, and said, "It's truly amazing that the powerful members of Fairy Tail have the strength to defeat an entire dark guild at such a young age."

Several people looked at him.

“However,” John said, “youth and strength are only temporary. People grow old and become weak, and time will take everything away. When your hair turns gray, your strength and magic will gradually fade away, and you will surely feel lost then.”

"What do you want to say?" Yefrit stepped forward and asked.

This person can influence the overall situation!

John immediately deduced this and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

“Yeflit,” Yefrit replied.

“Mr. Yevlitter, I think you don’t quite understand what great things I’m doing,” John said.

“No, I understand,” Yefrit said. “You’re just fooling yourself.”

“A lie? Haha.” John laughed, pointing to his face. “Do you see that, Mr. Yefried? I’m eighty years old, but this is the result of the blood of immortality I’ve been given. I look only twenty!”

"The experiment was a success!"

“Mr. Yevlith, and all of you,” John said, spreading his hands excitedly, “don’t you want eternal life?”

"Great mage, your strength, magic, and energy are all maintained at their peak!"

"And you, beautiful mage, you can stay young forever, always looking eighteen years old. Isn't that every girl's dream!"

John's voice was full of seduction.

However, the group remained unmoved.

Natsu said, "That kind of thing doesn't matter."

Gray said, "I don't need immortality if all my friends and family are dead and I'm the only one left alive."

Laxus scoffed, "Boring."

“You are all too young, so you don’t know how to cherish your time.” John shook his head, looked at Yefried, and said, “Mr. Yefried, I believe you will understand. You are very much like me.”

“Stop being disgusting,” Yefrit said immediately. “Don’t say things like that again, or I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait to see the show before I kill you.”

"Watching a good show?" John was taken aback.

“That’s about it.” Yefrit took out a pocket watch and checked the time.

"What do you mean, almost done?" John was taken aback.

“Old man, dying like this is too good for you,” Yefrit said.

"three"

"two"

"One"

'poof'

John coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, his face filled with disbelief.

the other side.

Frank and the others, who were fleeing, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Then, an overwhelming fear gripped their hearts, and they all collapsed—without any time to think or the ability to resist.

Wilchitor emptied the vault.

This was only a small portion of John's assets, but it still made Wilshire marvel at how worthwhile the adventure had been.

"Hmm? A spotted dove?"

Wilshire saw the person in the distance, and his face turned grim—that damned woman is still alive!

Outside the manor, in the courtyard of a private house.

Because of the fighting that took place here, the civilians living here had long since fled to their friends' homes.

Lucy and the others stayed here.

There is also water and food.

Although doing so is very unethical.

But everyone was quite tired and thirsty.

Of course, they are not robbers, and they will compensate as much as they are owed afterward, and they will not let innocent people suffer losses.

Lucy and the others are resting here.

“Miss Lucy, Miss Juvia.” Dove smiled shyly.

This is the second time.

It's the same scene again.

Last time, she lay in the cabin, covered in wounds and bandages, with a mage's cloak belonging to Yefrit covering her.

Then Lucy and Juvia found her.

This time, she leaned against the wall, her whole body still wrapped in bandages, and she was still covered with Yefrit's mage cloak.

Even more coincidentally, it was Lucy and Juvia who found her.

"Miss Ikaruga, are you alright?"

"I asked worriedly."

They had already discussed this last time—since Yefrit saved this person, it meant that there was a basic level of trust between them.

"It's okay, I won't die, hiss—" The dove managed a weak smile, but it aggravated its wound and gasped in pain.

"You should get some rest," Lucy quickly said.

"Yes, get some rest, Pied Dove. You'll soon have a peaceful rest forever." Suddenly, a strange man's voice rang out.

The turtledove's expression changed drastically; it tried to move, but was completely unable to.

"Who goes there?!" Juvia reacted quickly, turning around and unleashing a spell outside.

"The current cuts through!"

"Ah, what dangerous magic." Wilhelm dodged the attack and walked into the courtyard.

"Miss Lucy, Miss Juvia, watch out!" Ikebane warned, "This man is Wilhelm, the guild master of the Skull Guild! He's a ruthless killer!"

“I really didn’t expect you to still be alive, Dove,” Wilchtor laughed. “But this time, you won’t be able to escape.”

'Crackling'

Lightning crackled in Wilhelm's hands.

underground.

"not good!"

Yefried shouted suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Yefrit.

"Natsu, Gray, break through the passage! We have to get back immediately!" Yefrit said urgently.

"it is good!"

Natsu unleashed flames, and Gray also released magic.

"Bingqianquan!"

'boom'

A huge icicle pierced through several floors of the ceiling.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu blasted through several more ceilings.

"Thunder Dragon's Crushing Fist!"

The earth was shaking.

'poof'

Wilshire had just taken a step when his expression suddenly changed drastically. He tried to retreat to the side, but it was too late!

"Ah wu——"

Suddenly, a huge head opened an even bigger mouth and bit off Wilhelm's head from behind!

'puff'

The headless corpse fell, its body still twitching.

"what--"

The children screamed.
