"...Why do you do this! Give me my sister back!"

A young boy's shout came from across the crowd. Although it was mixed in with the noisy conversations of other people, it was still clear and bright.

"Mr. MacLean, don't you go and take a look?" Tarino looked very interested.

"Do you think this is an occupational disease?" Maka said with a smile, "Okay, you might as well go and see the excitement."

When Maka and Tarino came to the door of the side hall at hand, there were already many people around. Although Maka had grown a lot in the past two years, he was still much shorter than an adult wizard.

No matter how he stood on tiptoes, all he could see was a pile of wizard hats and the back of his head.

Maka thought for a while, threw a thick magic book on the ground, then stepped on it and floated.

As the saying goes, standing high and seeing far away, without the obstruction of those people, the scene in the corner immediately becomes clear...

Tarino hesitantly stared at the magic book at Maka's feet, wondering what kind of magic prop it was. You know, there are many things that can fly, but to carry people flying, the technical content is quite high.

It's so high.

If not, flying broomsticks wouldn't be so expensive.

In fact, in addition to Tarino, there are many wizards behind who are looking at Maka's feet!

Of course, Maka had no time to pay attention to those guys. At this moment, he was watching the incident happening in the corner with great interest.

"... I didn't expect that you are small but very courageous... There is no sister here! If you come here again and get entangled, be careful that you will disappear from this world tonight!"

A thin wizard with a gloomy face stood at the door of the side hall, his eyes as cold and fierce as a vulture, and his gaze even made the crowd around him feel a chill.

But the young man was stubborn and refused to give in. Although he couldn't be seen from Maka's perspective, his performance exuded a fearless aura.

"I saw you kidnap my sister with my own eyes!" the boy shouted loudly, "Give my sister back to me! You inhumane bastards!"

"Humph, are you talking to me about humanity in the black market?" The wizard sneered and gestured to another tall and strong wizard standing next to him, "Teach him what it means to be inhumane."

The big wizard didn't even use a wand, so he reached out and grabbed the young man's collar, and picked him up easily.

No matter how hard the boy struggled, he couldn't even make the other person's arm swing.

At this moment, not only did there not be any sympathy from the crowd, but some wizards even let out a few sneers, as if they were mocking the young man for overestimating his abilities.

For a time, the dark side of the magical world was clearly revealed.

Maka was floating behind the crowd, calmly watching everything happening in front of him. But at this moment, he frowned, and then smiled helplessly.

He smiled for no other reason than because the young man's wizard hat suddenly fell off during the struggle, and immediately, a long tangled hair flowed out, causing a burst of chuckles from the people around him.

"...Interesting." Maka couldn't help but chuckle, "How long has it been since I saw this kind of scene?"

After having some ideas in his mind, he did not act rashly. Instead, he reached for his pocket again and threw another book at Tarino's feet.

"Tread on," Maka said, and then immediately ordered, "Tread firmly, that book is still useful, don't let me step on it."

"What?"

Tarino was trying to squeeze forward with his feet up! When he saw Maka throwing another magic book on the ground, he was stunned for a moment subconsciously.

"Step on!" Maka urged, "Come up and help me see who those people are."

Tarino's skills were pretty good - at least he had a strong sense of balance. He only shook slightly when he stepped on the book. Maka waved her wand and picked him up.

"Oh! Is this a magic spell?" Tarino looked at the strange-looking wand in Maka's hand and said in surprise.

"Stop thinking about it. If you want to learn, I'll teach you later." Maka raised her head and gestured to the two wizards at the door of the side hall, "Do you know the origins of those two?"

"Oh, that girl is really... ahem, I mean, she is a member of the large-scale mercenary team 'Yeqi Wings'... The thin one is Kanter, one of the squad leaders, and the strong one... is called

What's going on?" Tarino paused as he spoke, "Uh...that big guy doesn't like to talk, and I can't even remember his name."

"'Wings of the Yeqi'?" Maka said, "Do you usually do this kind of business?"

They were chatting condescendingly, but the situation in the corner became chaotic because the boy...oh no, the girl's hat fell off.

It was easy to see that the surrounding crowd was creating an uncontrollable commotion.

Maka only took one look and immediately discovered that the girl was probably a Veela hybrid like Fleur and Gabrielle. Moreover, compared to Fleur and the others, this girl's Veela blood was purer.

This becomes even more obvious when you look at the eagerness of the people around you.

The person who was most affected by this bloodline talent was the sturdy wizard. He seemed to be stunned and didn't even notice when the hand holding the girl's collar was released.

The girl struggled again, and this time she finally broke free from the vise-like hand. Then she squeezed out of the crowd and ran out of the hall.

At the door of the hall, she even slipped inadvertently because she was running too hastily.

"Why are you still standing there!" Next to the strong man, the cold-faced male wizard patted him hard and whispered, "What a good guy, why don't you go after him!"

However, before that, Maka noticed that someone in the crowd had already quietly chased him out.

"I didn't expect that this black market is really interesting." Maka reached out and patted Tarino on the shoulder, but he almost lost his balance and fell off the magic book.

"That's a Veela hybrid, right?" Tarino looked at the gate and said with regret, "That's great... what a pity."

"It's no shame if you want me to watch." Maka smiled and said meaningfully, "Let's go! Let's go out too and continue to watch the fun."

"What else is there to see?" Tarino sighed, "or are you planning to buy the kid?"

When Maka heard this, she immediately shook her head.

"I don't even dare to ask for it," he said seriously, "I have a girl I like... Hey, I said... stand still."

After that, he grabbed Tarino's robe, waved his magic wand, and the two magic books carried two people and flew out the door quickly.

"I said... I said... you might as well just let me levitate!" Tarino stepped crookedly on the magic book, swaying from side to side and breaking into a cold sweat.

"That's so rude...be quiet and don't let anyone hear you..."

Maka said casually, leading him to quickly catch up with the big wizard.

Following the wizard, they turned left and right. Not long after, they saw the girl surrounded by two wizards wearing hoods and cloaks in the middle of an alley.

"Hello!"

This was the first time the big man made a sound. Although almost his whole body was wrapped in black cloth, the flesh of his body was impossible to ignore.

Because wizards are good at magic spells, they usually neglect physical exercise. Although various magic potions allow them to not worry too much even if they get sick, in general, they are still too thin.

Once you encounter such a strong man wizard, you will actually be at a disadvantage.

"Huh?" One of the wizards surrounding the girl turned back, then subconsciously took a step back, "What's wrong?"

"That girl, we, the Wings of Thestrals, want her." The big man muttered, "Get away!"

"Hey - we surrounded you first, why should we give it to you?" Another wizard yelled in a sharp voice, "What happened to the wings of the Thestral, don't worry about us!"

"Hmph!" The big man scratched his neck and growled, "Don't you want to get out? Then just stay!"

He didn't even see him using his wand. He just took a big step, grabbed the neck of the wizard closest to it, and pressed it hard against the brick wall next to him, making a muffled "bang" sound.

ring.

"Oh - cough cough -" The wizard was caught off guard by his sudden attack, and was obviously injured by the astonishing force.

"Chris, stop."

Just when another wizard with a sharp voice drew out his wand and was about to take action, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner behind him.

The man calmly walked up to the big man Chris and patted his strong arm.

Chris snorted coldly, let go of the wizard in his hand, and let him collapse in the corner, coughing violently.

"You two, you won't be able to take any advantage in the fight, and you will also offend our Wings of the Night Qilin. I asked you, are you doing more harm than good?"

Both Maka and Tarino could see clearly that the wizard was obviously the thin and cold wizard from before, "Kant", the captain of the Wings of Thestrals.

At this moment, the harshness on his face disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable kindness.

"So what?" The voice of the wizard opposite was still sharp and harsh. He seemed to have no intention of backing down. "Even if some idiots are afraid of your Thestral Wings, do you think everyone will be afraid of you?"

"Hey..." Kanter smiled and said, "You don't want to give in, it's just for the sake of gold Gallons, isn't it? Let me see, it's better to do this..."

"There are two of us here, and there are two of you over there. A Veela half-breed costs 5,000 gold galleons, plus an additional 2,000 for this age. Give us 3,500 gold galleons, and this little girl will be yours. How about it?" He asked.

He spread his hands and said, "We are just making some personal income this time, and you don't have to cause any more trouble. It's the best of both worlds, right?"

"..." The wizard thought about it for a moment and said reluctantly, "There are six of us and four of you! We have to talk!"
