Chapter 311


    The warehouse courtyard was in utter chaos. The sound of crisp smacking intermingled with the


    screams and wails of the crowd echoed incessantly. Godfred and Grima chased after them like one


    might chase down chickens, delivering more than twenty ps each, not one less. Their victims''


    faces swelled with bruises, and amidst pitiful cries, they scrambled and tumbled, trying to dodge,


    until they finally managed to burst through the iron gates of the warehouse. But Godfred pursued


    them down the low hillside, adding a p or two for good measure,pletely beating the fight out


    of them. With curses andints, they supported each other and fled.


    Godfred and Grima were both Master Mages, and it was a tad unseemly for them to thrash a group


    of Novice Mage Protégés. But... it felt so satisfying!


    Back in the Azure Mountain, it was the Cobalt Strike Protégés who bullied them. Never had they


    imagined giving the Cobalt Strike Protégés a taste of their own medicine. This was truly a day to


    remember, and well worth it!


    Before long, the Cobalt Strike was abuzz.


    Semar, Roald, and two other Golden Protégés had set up a challenge in the 5th Arena, waiting for


    vin to show up. Hundreds of Protégés were hurrying to the 5th Arena, eager to witness vin''s


    current strength. But vin couldn''t care less about their provocations. He not only refused the


    challenge but also sent Galos and others, who came to issue the challenge on behalf of the Golden


    Protégés, packing with bruised faces. Galos was a favored disciple of the Grand Elder, and no one


    expected vin to treat him like that.


    A joint challenge issued by four Golden Protégés was unprecedented, and to refuse it outright? Was


    vin as wild as ever, or did he simply consider himself above the likes of Roald and his peers?


    The entire Organization was stirred, and even those who were initially disinterested began to take


    notice.


    Word reached the Elders.


    "Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!"


    "Does he think he''s a celebrity of the Nortnds now?"


    "No respect for the rules! What a disgrace!"


    "Assaulting fellow Protégés? He must be sternly punished!"


    "Does bing a Golden Protégé give him the right to act above thew? Every generation of


    Golden Protégés has been humble. What makes him think he can be so brazen? Seize him! Make


    him kneel in penance!"


    One of the Elders immediately ordered vin''s capture. vin had just returned to the Organization


    and started trouble. If this continued, it would be intolerable. vin needed to be taught a lesson!


    Before long, a group of middle-aged Protégés really did arrive at the warehouse, their attitudes


    arrogant as they nced at vin, who was tidying up. With a coldugh, they pushed open the


    door. "vin, in the name of the Elder, you are to be taken to the Cliff of Reflection!"


    "Hmph, what can you do as a Nortnds Shadowlord''s Messenger? Once back in Cobalt Strike,


    you''re a Protégé of the Organization and will be punished for breaking the rules just like anyone


    else!”


    Today, they got to experience what it was like to seize a Golden Protégé!


    vin wiped his hands with a towel. "Which Elder gave the order? Haven''t you learned the


    Organization''s rules?"


    "Enough talk,e with us!"


    "Go back and study the rules of the Organization and learn some manners." vin whispered to


    Godfred, "What do you think? Can we take them?"


    "Merely high-ranking Advanced Mages, of course, we can take them!"


    vin raised his voice. "Trespassing is punishable by pping!"

    "What?" The middle-aged Protégés frowned.


    "Godfred, ten ps each!"


    "What, dare you say that again?"


    "We were sent by the Elders, don''t escte the situation! Come with us!"


    "You''d better keep a low profile. Don''t make the Elders unhappy, or a joint resolution might strip you


    of your Golden Protégé reputation."


    Their anger was mixed with indignation. In terms of seniority, they were older than vin''s, and


    here he was, authorizing punishment with such arrogance.


    "No need to trouble yourselves. Godfred, strike! If ten isn''t enough, make it twenty!"


    "Shall I start then??" Godfred cracked his neck, rolled his shoulders, and approached them with a


    chuckle, reveling in the thrill of serving Lord vin in such an entertaining way.


    The middle-aged Protégés'' expressions shifted. This was not good. He seemed serious!


    Grima appeared by the iron gate, her golden spear slowly closing the door as her rosy lips curled


    into a smirk.


    "vin! Think of the consequences!" The middle-aged Protégés'' faces began to contort with worry.


    "Line up, one by one." Godfred''s body surged with an aura of power, blowing debris around him.


    The presence of a Master Mage dominated the courtyard. ck mists billowed from his body like


    serpents writhing, intertwining and growingrger, finally coalescing into a massive beastly shadow.


    "This is..." The middle-aged Protégés watched in astonishment as the shadow grewrger and


    more imposing.
