Quinn sneered, “That’s none of my concern. I demand you to be in business today. As a Blacksail Wizard Market enforcer, I, Quinn, order you to open this store! How could you be so selfish? Right now, everyone should unite to overcome this crisis together. Does the Gray Tower only think of yourselves? No wonder your organization is getting worse and worse.”
A bystander seconded, “Yeah, how selfish of you! You’re a bunch of exquisite egoists.”
"Exactly. I’m speechless.”
"It’s not like we are asking for the goods as charity.”
Some people from other forces also echoed their sentiments. These were all actors found by Quinn.
Winnie retorted, “Quinn, was it? You claim that our Gray Tower is selfish, right? Then, why don’t you tell us why Whale Song suddenly closed today?
Could you have moved all the supplies back to Whale Song Island last night? The last time I visited Whale Song Island, you tried to court me with an arrogant attitude, but I rejected you. Are you still holding a grudge over that incident? Fortunately, I didn’t agree to date you.”
Winnie revealed a cold smile as she stood in front of the nervous owner of the shop.
She was one of the most outstanding apprentices in the younger generation of the Gray Tower, other than the freak Levi.
She grew up in the Gray Tower and felt a sense of belonging. She would never allow anyone to insult her organization like this.
She also knew Quinn. He was an outstanding apprentice of Whale Song Island.
Quinn was stunned as he cursed her internally.
His face turned beet red, and he did not know how to retort.
Mustering his resolve, Quinn instigated the crowd, saying, “Everyone, charge in. During this crisis, it is our right to buy goods. Don’t worry. On behalf of the Blacksail Wizard Market law enforcement team, I declare that charging into this store will not violate the order of the market.”
"Who dares do so?” Winnie took out her wand and was ready to attack at any moment. The other apprentices of the Gray Tower were also worked up. Even a female apprentice like Winnie dared to confront the enforcers. They naturally had to make their stand and uphold the reputation of the Gray Tower.
Levi watched the proceedings calmly to the side.
In his opinion, these apprentice wizards were like a group of children in an ivory tower fighting for the honor of their class. Although childish and naive, their dedication to the Gray Tower was commendable.
"How quaint of them,” thought Levi, revealing a playful smile.
The apprentice wizards from both sides began to fight.
They unleashed all sorts of cantrips that Levi deemed non-lethal. He felt he was watching a group fight between high school classes.
The Gray Tower’s side lacked numbers. Soon, Winnie and the other apprentices were repeatedly pushed back, and some were injured.
However, the apprentices of Whale Song Island didn’t dare to kill them.
After pushing the Gray Tower’s apprentices aside, they rushed into the White Tower Store and began raiding it.
Levi silently observed everyone from a corner. He noted down who was involved in the raid and what they took. For these people to dare to lay their hands on the Gray Tower’s property in broad daylight, Levi knew that someone was backing them.
He sneered internally. He wanted to see who was behind this.
The apprentices of the Gray Tower watched helplessly as the raiders rushed into the shop and ransacked the place. Despair loomed over them. Some of the apprentices even cried. Winnie’s eyes were red. She was injured in the battle just now. Her wounds were excruciating, and her face was pale.
An apprentice wizard said, “Winnie, calm down. They have the advantage in numbers. We should go back and tell the official wizards in the tower about this.”
Winnie replied, “We need these supplies to survive the sea beast tide. Sigh, we found out about the tide too late. Otherwise, we would have moved the supplies in the shop away long ago.”
"It’s okay, Winnie. I’ve already secretly stashed away the important things in my storage bag,” whispered the shop owner.
Soon, the White Tower Store was emptied. Even all the sea beast meat had been taken.
Levi wondered why the raiders took the sea beast meat. After the sea beast tide, there would undoubtedly be no shortage of sea beast meat.
Quinn looked at Winnie with a mocking expression.
"I hope the Gray Tower will survive the sea beast tide this time. Miss Winnie, we’ll meet again after the calamity.”
After saying this, Quinn snorted coldly and swaggered away.
Winnie’s expression was ugly. Alas, she could only helplessly watch them leave. A strange thought flashed through her mind.
"If only Junior Brother Levi had come with me. I want him to crush Quinn’s head with his hands.”
Amidst the crowd, Levi’s figure had long disappeared.
In the dark alley, Levi flicked his snake tongue and tracked the auras of the raiders.
A Whale Song Island apprentice was leaning against the wall, happily counting the spoils he had just obtained.
Suddenly, something pierced through the wall.
A crimson tentacle suddenly appeared and pierced through the apprentice’s robe. Before the apprentice could react, the tentacle had already grabbed his heart. He soon became a dried corpse and was devoured by a swarm of Saint Scorpions.
On the other side of the wall, the crimson tentacle slowly retracted into Levi’s palm.
A silent, one-sided massacre had occurred in the Blacksail Wizard Market..
