Chapter 426: The Interceptor
On the airship, Kira, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Happy and Xia Lulu sat together, everyone's eyes fixed on a pile of banknotes placed in the middle.
“Brothers and sisters, this problem is very serious now!”
Bang!
Kira slapped the banknotes with his big hand and touched them. His eyes were extremely gentle, as if what was in his palm was not a banknote full of bacteria, but his own hair.
"As you can see, this is the reward for this commission, a total of 30 million J. If divided equally among eight people, each person will receive 3.75 million J."
“Ohhhh!!!”
After hearing Kira's words, everyone immediately joined in the shouting. Their eyes turned into money symbols and the sound of their hearts beating could be heard clearly.
Kira stood up quickly, waved his long arms, and shouted loudly: "But! Now someone wants to get his hands on our wallets. Tell me, can we tolerate this? ... No! No!! No!!!"
"Commission fees are our livelihood! As Fairy Tail mages, we may fail in our commissions, but we must never give up the money we earn!! ... That's right! That's right!! That's right!!!"
"Think about it, if we divide it into nine or ten parts, we will get 420,000 to 750,000 J less! Can you accept that? ... No! No!! No!!!"
"very good!"
Kira clasped his hands together, then turned to Disper and Kurnuki who were sitting on the other side and said, "Did you hear that, both of you? We all have the same opinion."
Everyone looked at Kira, who was directing and acting on the airship and even playing multiple roles, with their faces speechless.
Xia Lulu squinted her eyes and warned the little girl with twin ponytails beside her: "Wendy, remember, you must ."
"Uh... hehe..." Wendy laughed awkwardly, glanced secretly in Kira's direction, and when she found that he didn't notice her, she nodded vigorously.
When Kira heard this, he immediately became unhappy and fell backwards, lying on the airship: "Really? Who am I doing all this for?"
"Isn't it for your own good?!"
"Nonsense! I'm doing this for my friends, for my family, for Fairy Tail, for Magnolia, for the prosperity of the Kingdom of Fiore and the stability of Ishgar!!"
Disper clapped his hands. "You're amazing! You can actually say these words that most people stop saying after the age of ten. This is more than just talent..."
Finally, it was Erza who spoke up first: "Kira, after all, we were able to complete the commission thanks to their help. I don't think it's too much to give them a share ."
After she said this, the others also voted in favor, which moved Disper so much that he prostrated himself: "Angels! You are simply angels!! You are the most beautiful, the purest, the sweetest, the most considerate, the most handsome... angels!!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Don't you just say compliments like that?"
Disper sneered at Kira: "This is a compliment from the bottom of my heart, I have no other intentions!"
Just when Kira was about to retort, a magical power that no one had ever felt before suddenly appeared in front of the airship. The magical power was so powerful that it rushed straight into the sky, with a deterrent power that was no weaker than that of a dragon!
“Who is it?!”
As soon as they felt the magic power, Kira immediately stood up, and Erza and the others also immediately entered combat mode, and at the same time, they sounded the alarm in their hearts. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and if they encountered a scammer, they would have nowhere to complain.
Erza put on her armor and looked directly at the source of the magic power with a serious expression: "It feels like they are looking for trouble..."
"But we shouldn't have any enemies in Kiltina, right?" Lucy and others were puzzled.
Others didn't know, but Kira's heart was clear as a mirror. This familiar magic was the same as the bearded boy's. In this case, there was no need to say more about the identity of the person who blocked the way - another Diabolos!
Before Kira could signal to others, a powerful magic suddenly rushed up from the ground and headed straight for the magic airship that everyone was on!
"Oh no! Get out of the way!!"
"How dare you! Are you declaring war?"
The sudden attack made several people change their expressions at the same time. This magic was extraordinary. Even if they had made considerable breakthroughs in this year, they would still suffer if they were not careful.
Fortunately, Kira's reaction speed was not to be underestimated. When he noticed the sudden increase in magic power, he increased the speed of the magic airship under him to the extreme and escaped from the attack range before the magic arrived.
There was a roaring sound. This was the sound of Kira controlling the magic airship to land. As a wizard from Fairy Tail, how could he not seek justice after being ambushed?
Kira was the first to get off the airship, followed closely by Disper, Kurnuki, Erza and others. Everyone looked towards the source of the magic, and saw two figures slowly walking out of the smoke and dust.
The one walking in front was a tall, burly, and rugged uncle, with lush and wild hair standing up in piles, eyebrows flying backwards, eyes ferocious with a bit of greed, a big beard, jagged teeth, bare upper body, wrist guards made of gold and diamonds on both arms, and a plush cloak made of scales of some creature behind him. It is worth mentioning that the uncle's face, front and arms are covered with ugly scars.
"This person is wearing a cloak... could he also be a strong man?" Kira was a little confused for a moment.
Following the uncle came out a red-haired kid who looked younger than Wendy. He didn't look strong, but Kira felt that just based on his red hair, this kid had an extraordinary future.
"Hmm... this boy is similar to me, and has the potential to be a great swordsman..." Before Kira could speak, Disper made his comment first.
“Is this true?”
Disper looked at the boy carefully again and said, "Of course it's true! I see myself ten years ago in him. I just don't know what this kid's talent in swordsmanship is like..."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "It's decided! He is the candidate for my apprentice! Kurnuki, from now on, I will only have you as my apprentice."
Kurnuki nodded: "Don't worry! I will find one as soon as possible."
Although in Kira's opinion, Disper's way of choosing disciples was a bit too casual, but no matter what, the agreement between these two guys to "accept disciples and duel with swords" was finally the first step, which was cause for celebration.
While they were discussing the matter of recruiting disciples, the other side was also looking at Kira and the others. To be more precise, it was the rough and ugly uncle who was staring at Kurnuki.
How to describe that look... It was like Juvia seeing Gray's naked body, full of greed, madness and possessiveness. If someone didn't know, they might think that this old man had taken a fancy to Kurnuki, a young and handsome guy.
"I could smell the scent of dragon from a long distance away, and I thought it was an illusion because I wanted to eat dragon meat recently. Now it seems that's not the case. I'm so lucky!"
These words, which were full of perversion, made everyone feel nauseous.
"Who is this guy? He looks so scary."
Lucy was obviously frightened by the other party's lustful eyes and the way he stretched out his tongue and almost licked her nose. She shuddered all over, stepped back, and hid behind Natsu skillfully.
"Judging from what he said, he should be heading towards Kurnuki, so..."
"It's obvious that this uncle must be from Diabolos."
"He is a dragon hunter wizard, and his strength is not simple."
Kurnuki nodded. He knew that the wizard who came this time was not as strong as the bearded man he met before, but a wizard who was able to rival himself.
Kira took two steps forward and skillfully blocked everyone behind him: "If I guess correctly, he is the president of Diabolos, Jorg Lessen!"
