Chapter 1584: Come Here!
The people standing outside the shop watched with their mouths wide open as Amy made the two orcs fly with a single smack, then healed them with a ray of light, then made them fly again, and the cycle continued.
The horrifying cries for help echoed along the street, making one pity them.
After all, these two big orcs were so unbelievably weak in front of this cute little girl that they actually flew with a single smack. It might even seem like it was all an act.
Only the people from Mamy Restaurant knew that these two orcs were really very pitiful.
It was apparent that Amy was trying to practice her healing magic. Such detestable and durable test subjects were hard to find.
Every hit was a solid one. It was not to the extent of killing them, but they would at least be in so much pain they could not move.
The effects of combining life magic and nature magic were apparent. Their injuries could be cured in a very short span of time, and Amy could whack them with another blow with peace of mind.
“N-no…”
“I… s-surr-rend-der…”
The two orcs dragged their wails out. At that moment, they were in complete despair. How is this a kid? She’s a devil!
Although she was holding a magic caster’s staff, she was using the staff like a bat, and her strength was horrifyingly huge!
“Isn’t this the little boss of Mamy Restaurant? She is the disciple of both the Lord of Ice and the Lord of Fire. These two fellows actually dared to trifle with her?” some onlookers exclaimed as they recognized Amy.
“So this is the disciple of the two legendary great magic casters.” Everyone started to pity the two orcs.
When the two orcs heard that, they died a little inside.
How did they just end up in her hands? This was the child that you should never trifle with in Chaos City!
“Well, do you accept your defeat now?” Mag asked the two orcs with a smile as they flew once again,
“Yes! Yes!” The two orcs nodded vigorously. They could not be bothered about the excruciating pain that they felt in their bodies right now, for they feared the ray of healing magic even more.
“So quickly? Master said that one should have a backbone. You cannot admit defeat so readily after being hit.” Amy looked at the two orcs disdainfully while hugging her magic caster’s staff. Then, she suggested, “Why don’t we go for another round?”
“No, no, no… No more!” The two orcs waved their hands in fear as they endured the excruciating pain and clambered up.
What a joke. Even though they would be healed, the pain they felt every time they got hit was real. No matter how hard your bones were, they would not be able to stand all the beatings.
“Stop! What are you doing?!” Just then, a horse-drawn carriage with the Marquis Family flag pulled over in front of the shop. A young man with a stern face alighted and walked over. He took one look at the two sorry-looking orcs, and then at Mag as he squinted a little.
“Young Master! These people wanted to barge into the shop and even walloped us up. Please be the judge for us.” The two orcs looked at Jonah as though he was their saving grace. All the grievance that they’d swallowed surged up and poured out as tears.
The seven to eight orcs who came with the horse-drawn carriage surrounded Mag and the others upon hearing that, giving them a death stare while getting ready to receive orders.
Jonah looked at Mag, and emotionlessly said, “You’re Boss Mag of Mamy Restaurant, right? I hope you can give me an explanation as to why you injured the Marquis Family’s guards for no reason. Why did you barge into our family’s property?”
“For no reason?” Mag scoffed. He turned to the side to reveal Rena, who was standing behind him, and coldly said, “Then let me ask you this first. Why then did your two guards beat up my business partner, Miss Rena, two days ago? This property is under her name, and we have proof sealed with the city lord’s castle’s stamp. How then did it become your family’s property?”
“The Marquis Family is vying with this lady here for a property?”
“Both sides said that the shop belonged to them. So whom exactly does this shop belong to?”
“Boss Mag said that Miss Rena has the property deed. In that case, the shop must be hers. Hasn’t this always been the rule of Chaos City?”
The bystanders started discussing the matter among themselves softly. They didn’t know that there was such a conflict hidden behind that seemingly random tussle.
“I was the one who hit them. If you can’t accept it, you can give it a try too.” Amy placed her magic caster’s staff in front of her, and hugged it at her chest. She looked at Jonah in disdain, and said, “Come here!”
Jonah glanced at Amy, and raised a brow. However, he quickly suppressed his anger. He knew very clearly who this little girl was. If he were to enrage those two old men, the entire Marquis Family would be in trouble.
He turned to look back at Mag. This was not his first time seeing Mag. He had seen him at the Chamber of Commerce’s year-end celebration, but this was indeed the first time he had such a direct interaction with him.
He still had not received detailed information as to why the property was with that Miss Rena, and the Department of Property Rights only told him that it was approved by the city lord. The property was transferred under Rena’s name in the form of a gift, and the Gray Temple might have something to do with this.
However, all information about Bennett had been sealed off in the Gray Temple, so there was not much information he could get. What he could feel was that this time, Bennett’s crimes weren’t the usual kind, and it seemed like he would not get a second chance.
He had always been very prudent, especially in this kind of situation where he was unable to get a clear grasp of the situation. That was why he specially made the trip over in the morning to look for his father, and suggested that they drop this shop in case they get embroiled in an unknown conflict.
But Bowen did not accept his suggestion, and did not seem worried about Miss Rena, who appeared to have no power or backing. He thought that as long as they had the confirmation letter from the Department of Property Rights, they would be able to take over the shop rightfully.
According to market rates, this shop’s value had already exceeded 25,000,000 copper coins.
Furthermore, if they could set up a hot pot restaurant according to Bennett’s plan, it might even reap higher returns for the Marquis Family.
He wanted to drop by and have a look today, but didn’t expect to run into Mag and the others, who came over to cause trouble.
Moreover, they clearly came prepared. All it took was a three-year-old to put both sides on the same level of playing field.
“In that case, I will represent the Marquises to apologize to Miss Rena for our servants’ rudeness and the injuries that they have caused.” Jonah looked at Rena and bowed deeply.
“I…” Rena looked at Mag nervously.
“It’s alright. We’ve already hit the back, and that’s way better than an apology,” Mag replied in Rena’s stead with a smile.
Jonah froze, and looked at Mag seriously. He had met his match.
Mag looked at Jonah seemingly with a smile. The people from the four major families were indeed not useless fools. However, Jonah was still too inexperienced to play with Mag.
