Chapter 1512: Go, Little Fire Lotus!
“Let’s go, the people from the Gray Temple will be here soon to clean up.” Mag held Amy’s little hand as he turned to walk out of the cellar.
“But he…” Gina, who was holding Rena, turned her head back to look at Bennett. There was fear in her eyes. If this fellow was let off just like that, would something similar happen again?
“Don’t worry, the lifetime membership in Bastie Prison is already open for him. He can only stay in the dark cell for the rest of his life and await his death.” Mag paused in his tracks, and looked at Rena with a smile as he said, “Rena, don’t worry, he won’t appear again.”
Rena looked at Mag’s warm smile and felt the uneasiness disappear. She nodded, and said, “Mm-hmm.”
“That’s so easy. I only whacked him once, and all the bad guys are settled.” Amy felt a little unsatisfied. She looked back, and even cutely told Bennett, “Hey, Uncle, you got to buck up a little, okay? Bring more people along, otherwise you don’t look impressive at all. That’s really disappointing.”
Bennett looked up at Amy furiously. Is she kidding?
“Let’s go.” Mag brought the others out of the cellar, and climbed out from the abandoned well at the corner of the yard.
“Stand right there! You are already surrounded. All of you! Hands up and go to the corner of the wall!”
The moment Mag and the gang came out from the dried-up well, they heard someone shout at them, and a group of Gray Temple inspectors surrounded them. The knights drew their swords, and the magic casters pointed their wands at them as they got ready to attack.
The leader was a tall and slim middle-aged man. He looked at Rena for a while before he solemnly said, “I am Captain Blaze from Gray Temple Inspection troop. All of you are involved in a kidnapping and assault case. Please cooperate with our investigation!”
Mag looked at Blaze through slightly squinted eyes. He thought the people waiting outside would be here to arrest Bennett and the others, but it seemed the communication within the Gray Temple was not very effective. This so-called captain was probably not under Borg. Smiling, Mag said, “Sir, I wonder what made you think that we’re involved in kidnapping and assault? Whom did we kidnap? Whom did we assault? Did someone report the case?”
“You…” Blaze was stumped for words. He looked at Mag for a while, not knowing what to say.
He was also shocked by Bennett, that dumb teammate. He lured the inspectors away so that Bennett could escape, but that stupid guy actually targeted the restaurant employee, and even kidnapped her.
That was fine since she was just an employee. He was already ready to wipe his *ss for him, but he didn’t expect this matter to alarm the intelligence department. The person who was supposed to handle this matter never came back after he was called out, so he brought men and rushed over.
He could already feel the strong magic waves from the cellar before he even reached the place. After that, he saw Mag and the gang come out.
He could already guess what happened down there. While he was shocked that this restaurant owner could find such powerful aides, he also spontaneously decided to frame Mag. Otherwise, if Bennett was arrested, he would definitely buckle under their interrogation and rat on him.
Blaze regained his composure quickly, and seriously said, “We’ve received a report that the owner of the teahouse “Ben” had gone missing, and before that, an employee from their shop heard you threatening him. The owner and employees of Mamy Restaurant, I am giving all of you a strict warning. All of you better stand properly against the wall and not resist the arrest. If you dare to go against the law, we will take the necessary actions!
“You, bring a team of people down to take a look.” Blaze waved his hand, and a small team of five went down to the cellar.
“It’s not like this. He was the one who kidnapped me, and Boss and the rest came to my rescue. It’s not like what you said,” Rena explained anxiously. She felt so aggrieved that tears started welling up in her eyes. Wasn’t the Gray Temple supposed to be the guardian angel of Chaos City? How could they malign people like that?
“Ma’am, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used in court as evidence. If you’re suspected of defamation, that would be an added sentence!” Blaze glared coldly at Rena.
“Don’t worry. If we want to leave, they won’t be able to stop us.” Elizabeth stood in front of Rena and looked equally coldly at Blaze. Her icy cold aura made Blaze retract his gaze subconsciously. It was the 8th-tier ice magic waves that she used previously.
Not long later, the inspectors from the Gray Temple crawled out with the pale Bennett and five other ice sculptures from the cellar.
“Save… Save me… I was kidnapped by them… they killed my subordinates, and even wanted to kill me…” Bennett’s face was pale. He lifted a finger limply and pointed at Mag with clenched teeth as he said, “He… He is the mastermind.”
The corner of Blaze’s lips rose. He waved his hand as he said, “Arrest all of them!”
“Father, are these people baddies as well? I remember that they are the ones who maintain the law and order,” Amy whispered to Mag with doubt and also a little excitement.
“Maybe.” Mag scoffed. Since they were already charged, adding a few crimes on top of the existing ones didn’t matter. This captain was obviously on Bennett’s side. If that’s the case, there’s no need to hold on to any hopes for them.
Even though they had over 30 people on their side, with this Captain Blaze being an 8th-tier knight and having several 7th-tier magic casters, Mag was not very worried about the situation. Judging from how it looked, they could still easily win even if they were to really get into a fight.
As for how this should be settled, that would be up to Rolan and Borg.
“Then do we just beat them to death, or do we go according to the protocol?” Amy asked.
“We are law-abiding citizens, after all. Let’s go according to the protocol,” Mag replied with a smile.
“Mm-hmm.” Amy nodded. She took a step forward, pointed at them with her wand, and said, “I am the little boss of Mamy Restaurant, the disciple of the Lord of Ice and Lord of Fire, a student from Chaos School. Let me now warn all of you to give up resisting and surrender. Otherwise, I’ll punish you in the name of the moon.”
“Although I don’t know why the moon wants to punish you, I’ll agree in the name of the moon,” Babla added.
“Young lass, it’s not a good thing to be overly confident. Even the Lord of Ice and Lord of Fire have to abide by the laws and rules of Chaos City and kneel before the Gray Temple. All of you are going to pay a heavy price for going against the Gray Temple in enforcing the law!” Blaze laughed coldly. It would be great if they decided to resist because things would tend to go out of hand when violence was involved, and it would not be anything strange if there were a few deaths as a result.
“You should say that in front of my masters. Really,” Amy suggested sincerely. “Go, Little Fire Lotus!”
Amy flung out more than 10 glass bottles containing two-colored little fire lotuses from her magic caster’s staff space, aiming straight at Blaze.
