As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"Don't be so provocative just because you're jealous of my Cassandra family. It's ridiculous to stand up and humiliate yourself without even a male companion. Or do you just want to use your looks to get back into the Cassandra family?"

Under Marvin's overwhelming momentum, the young mages who were originally eager to try also retreated.

They were far inferior to the chief wizard representing the Purple Demon School in terms of strength or reputation, and they did not have the courage to challenge him.

Few of the bigwigs in the Magicians' Society dare to take the initiative, let alone these young people?

Lyanna's face darkened, her breath suddenly rose, and she became disordered for a moment.

But in the end she let out a breath and suppressed her anger in her heart.

She is the legitimate heir of the Cassandra family. Marvin knows this very well, so he deliberately provokes her.

More than ten years have passed, and she has long been accustomed to forbearance.

Now is not the time to reveal your strength.

When the moment comes, she will always have the opportunity to settle everything.

So, it’s not the time yet—

"That's really strange. You're the chief mage of the Purple Demon School, yet you insult a lady younger than you. Aren't you ashamed?"

The one-sided atmosphere was broken in an instant.

The purple magicians frowned and looked over, and the people from the other side also raised their heads curiously.

And Lyanna couldn't help but widen her eyes after seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Roy...?"

"Senior, why did you leave without saying a word?"

Roy came to Lyanna's side and naturally reached out to hold the slender arm, protecting her in front of her.

For a time, discussions arose everywhere, with people speculating about the relationship between the two.

Especially for the inexperienced magicians, they had only heard of the name Roy but were not familiar with him.

The black-haired boy glanced at the Chief Purple Demon indifferently.

Marvin Cassandra, a minor boss in Lyanna's storyline in the original novel, insulted Lyanna at a social dinner, causing her to suffer a severe loss.

He was very happy at that time, but in the later part of the game, Lyanna caught him and used all kinds of tricks to ruin his reputation.

The reason why Lyanna was frustrated and turned to drinking to drown her sorrows must have been due to this guy.

However, Roy didn't have the patience and didn't mind letting all this happen sooner.

Ma Wenxian inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness, as if everything was seen through, and felt a little uneasy.

But Marvin quickly forced a sneer and said sarcastically, "I've heard of you, Roy Ironblad. But this is a feud between us magicians. It seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Besides, she's just a dirty black magician..."

"Dark magician, what's wrong with you?" Roy interrupted his nonsense and ridiculed him.

"A dark magician is merely a mortal who seeks transcendence, a recognized presence within the Magisterium. Besides, even if there have been countless corrupted dark magicians throughout history, what does that have to do with Lyanna?"

"You keep talking about noble and filthy things, and you keep harping on this point. Doesn't that mean you don't take the Magicians' Society seriously?"

Marvin's face changed slightly when he was accused, but he didn't want to be caught by the magicians present and used as evidence to denounce him.

"Wait, I don't mean to disrespect the society..."

"So you're deliberately changing the subject?"

Looking at Marvin's increasingly ugly expression, Roy smiled at the girl beside him and asked, "What were we talking about at the beginning?"

Lyanna also understood and smiled back, "The Purple Demon School's collusion with the cultists."

Chapter 93: One mouth cannot speak more than ten mouths

Marvin's face turned stern again, and he refused to admit it. "I said, the cultists' affairs have nothing to do with us."

Roy asked pointedly, "If it's really unrelated, why do you refuse the Magicians' Association's investigation?"

"Would the remaining six sects deliberately frame you? You clearly have something to hide, and are trying to find excuses to delay, right?"

As a representative invited by Malfoy, Roy witnessed the entire negotiation between the bigwigs.

But the people outside did not know the result of the negotiation for long.

Now that Roy had revealed the truth in public, the young magicians immediately began to whisper among themselves and looked at Marvin with unfriendly eyes.

Of course, strictly speaking, Dia is not refusing, she is just temporarily uncooperative, but who would pay attention to this little word game?

After hearing what Roy said, Mal was momentarily thrown into disarray.

Father directly rejected the society's investigation?

Did the negotiations turn out worse than expected?

Thinking of this, Marven gritted his teeth and said firmly, "What's wrong with refusing?"

"We, the Purple Demon Society, would like to clear our names. The so-called investigation is nothing but slander without any evidence!"

This is exactly what Roy wanted.

"How do you know I don't have evidence?"

"...There's no point in bluffing!"

"There's no point in being blindly confident, right? Besides, I'm not bluffing." Roy smiled faintly and said playfully, "[Ghost Hand] Rocks, the priests of the [School of Necromancy], and all the cultists and purple mages who were arrested back then. With so many of them here, it won't be difficult to get to the bottom of your dirty tricks."

"Nonsense!" Marvin shouted coldly. His face was no longer arrogant, but tense. "Even if a few of them occasionally fall and betray, that's their fault. They can't represent the Purple Demon School!"

After shouting, Marvin forced a smile again.

After all, given the status of [Ghost Hand] Rocks, he did not have much evidence of the Purple Demon School's crimes. It was said that the mage of the [Undead School] was even killed on the spot.

This guy is just being mysterious—

"You don't think we can find direct evidence of the Purple Demon School's guilt, right?"

When the young man finished speaking, the chief purple magician couldn't help but widen his eyes and showed a moment of astonishment.

But what really caught him off guard was the next sentence.

"Indeed, if we could find direct evidence of your guilt, there would be no need to investigate. The society would just deal with you directly."

"However, although we haven't found any evidence of collusion with the Purple Demon School and the cultists, there is a lot of negative information about you, Marvin Cassandra."

Roy glanced at Marvin and pretended to sigh, "Ah, I was just invited to visit, but I didn't expect to witness such a wonderful scene. Marvin Cassandra has so many scandals behind his back..."

In fact, Rocks was still being interrogated, and Roy didn't know the specific situation.

In the original work, Lyanna dug up a lot of negative information about Marvin and ruined his reputation, but she did not explain what Marvin did specifically. However, Roy remembered one thing very clearly.

Marvin Cassandra secretly runs an auction.

Although Roy didn't understand what that meant at the time, now he thought that Marvin was the manager behind the underground auction.

As to whether he had colluded with the cultists, everyone present knew it.

In the final analysis, this banquet was a test between the Magicians' Society and the Purple Magic School.

Roy didn't need to prove that Marvin had any connection with the cultists. He just needed to keep talking nonsense and force him to waver. Then the people from the Magicians' Society would seize the opportunity and join in the condemnation of Marvin.

Those who fear the Purple Demon School need a leader, someone to take the lead, and this should be Lyanna's role.

If Lyanna can't do it, just make a cameo appearance yourself.

Roy's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly, "Mr. Marvin, it's not convenient for the society to thoroughly investigate your Purple Demon School, but investigating you alone should be no problem, right?"

"I, I've already said it, I want evidence!"

"Indeed! That's why we need to investigate even more, to prove your innocence! Why, the Purple Demon School has so many things to deal with, and now it's your turn, do you have as many things to deal with as well?"

Roy spread out one hand and said playfully, "Of course, you can also refuse the investigation. But that means that what Rocks and the Necromancer said is true."

Marvin opened his mouth, broke out in a cold sweat, and was speechless for a moment.

Just then, his fiancée couldn't help but speak up: "This is an internal matter between us magicians. It's not your place as a kingdom noble to butt in!"

A group of purple magicians started arguing with each other. Seeing that Marvin was behind, they wanted to scare Roy with their momentum, just like they did with Lyanna just now.

However, this time, people did not stand idly by.

After all, Roy is not a discriminated black magician, and he represents more than just the nobles of the kingdom.

Instead, he is a symbol of justice for the human race, who has repeatedly thwarted the evil cults' plots.

When it comes to backup, he is not afraid of Marvin.

"That's not right!"

"It was you purple mages who started the trouble, wasn't it?"

"Haha, besides, your Purple Demon School is colluding with the heretics. Isn't that something that everyone can punish?"

The nobles of the Lionheart Kingdom, the elves of the Emerald Council, and even the representatives of the Kingdom of Golden Sands and the Kingdom of the South Sea all came forward and stood on Roy's side.

Needless to say, the nobles of the Kingdom of Golden Sands were even more grateful for Roy's help in rescuing them during the Blue Trial. As for the Kingdom of the South Sea, the nobles present had all expressed their opinions, so it would be inappropriate for them to remain silent.

At this point, the other six major schools of thought were no longer silent.

They came to this banquet to find an excuse to denounce the Purple Demon School and put pressure on the latter.

Lyanna didn't help at that time because the other party was obsessed with dark magic, making it difficult for them to intervene. But Roy was different.

Even though Roy is a noble and an outsider, he is the symbol of the successive thwarting of evil cult conspiracies. When it comes to denouncing evil cults, no one is more symbolic than him except the Church of Holy Light!

Is there any better excuse than the chief of the Purple Demon School being suspected of colluding with cultists?

Now that external forces have come forward, when will they come forward?

For a moment, everyone attacked Marvin like hyenas smelling blood.

How can one mouth speak louder than ten mouths?

No matter how the purple magicians defended themselves or argued, how could they defeat the momentum of those who far outnumbered them?

"That's enough! Roy Ironblad, who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to question me?!"

Marvin suddenly roared, releasing a powerful and extraordinary aura, with countless ghosts surrounding him, and glared at Roy fiercely.

Everyone fell silent, and the magicians couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Not to mention how sensitive Roy's identity was, the fact that the Purple Demon Chief was so angry that he beat up the kingdom's nobles was enough to be the reason for the Magician Society to forcibly imprison Marvin.

And Roy sneered even more.

Of course, Marvin didn't resort to violence, he just lost his temper due to anger.

But there's always a pretext to accuse someone. For example, if a man suspected of being connected to the cult used violence against a noble who exposed his true identity, if magicians could seize on this fact, they could easily drag down the entire Purple Mage School!

But at this moment, a heavier breath flashed by, and Marvin stopped in his tracks.

Chapter 94 This is not the car to the college!

Representatives from various major schools, led by Dia, the head of the Purple Demon School, came over one after another.

Dia glanced at Marvin, who looked embarrassed, angry, and expressionless: "Back off."

"But, Father..."

"Get out!"

Dia emphasized his tone, as if there was no room for doubt.

Marvin had no choice but to shut up, lower his head, and retreat behind him.

But at this moment, the boy's voice sounded again.

"Wait, it's not over yet."

Roy glanced at Marvin, who looked murderous, and said matter-of-factly, "He still owes me an apology."

The young purple magician glared at him and seemed about to say something vulgar, but Dia raised her hand to stop him.

Dia looked down at him, and Gu Bo was not surprised: "The Academy will make the final decision on the investigation. Young man, don't go too far."

Roy couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not talking about that."
