I Asked You To Temporarily Take Charge Of The Guild, And You Turned Into A Goblin Empire?

Erza's pupils narrowed.

Then he wrinkled tightly.

"That guy is still so unsociable."

Mirajane smiled softly when she heard this: "Who says it's not the case?"

"However, even Laxus was called back. The president is probably going to announce something big this time."

As she said that, she looked around and said aloud: "Basically, except for that uncle and Miston Gang, basically everyone who can come is here."

"Where's Lu Chen? Why didn't you see him?" Erza asked curiously.

"That guy was nowhere to be seen when he came to the guild. I'm not sure. He must have something of his own to do." Mirajane responded.

Erza nodded slightly, then turned her gaze in Laxus' direction.

Said: "I don't know why, Laxus' return always gives me a bad feeling..."

As if noticing Erza's gaze, Laxus glanced sideways in Erza's direction.

He snorted disdainfully and turned his head away.

Inadvertently, his eyes scanned the entire scene and he sighed.

"What a boring bunch."

"The old man doesn't know what he is going to do, start such a big battle."

Laxus is very depressed now.

After all, anyone would be unhappy if they were forcibly called back in the middle of a mission, right?

Of course, the most unpleasant thing was hearing the chatter around him as soon as he arrived.

It was almost unnecessary to think about what these ants were talking about.

It's nothing more than what he has done recently, and he deserves to be Makarov's grandson.

Laxus almost vomited.

However, it is ridiculous to think about it. A bunch of ant-like guys can only sit in this dilapidated tavern all day long and talk about the qualifications of the strong.

The commotion at the scene did not last long.

Soon, there was movement in the tightly closed curtain.

Under everyone's eager gaze.

The curtain slowly rose.

The next moment, Makarov and Lu Chen appeared on the stage.

The scene that was extremely noisy just now suddenly became quiet.

Especially the corner of the guild.

Laxus stared at Lu Chen on the stage, his brows instantly furrowed.

But before he could react, a voice interrupted him.

"Yo! Lu Chen! You are here," Natsu from the crowd shouted.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, let's show off!"

As he spoke, Natsu didn't even notice the bag swaying on his head, and was ready to rush towards the stage as soon as his feet hit the ground.

"You idiot!!" Erza grabbed Natsu's scarf and pulled him directly to the floor.

"Now is not the time for a challenge, idiot!" Erza was so angry that she punched Natsu in the head again.

Boom...

The dull sound made Gray's hair stand on end.

Looking at Natsu who fell to the ground faintly with a look of horror on his face.

It wasn't until he saw that Erza didn't intend to anger him that he breathed a sigh of relief.

He laughed softly and said, "You are such a bad boy."

"Uh... uh..." Natsu rolled his eyes and shouted incoherently.

On the stage, Lu Chen turned aside Natsu below and shook his head helplessly.

Then his expression turned serious.

"Okay, be quiet!"

As Lu Chen finished speaking, the entire guild became agitated again.

Makarov nodded secretly as he watched this scene.

This also proves in disguise that Lu Chen's prestige in the guild is probably not weaker than his own.

only……

Makarov's eyes were fixed on the corner of the guild.

The Laxus who crossed his arms and tilted his head in disdain.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, except for that guy...

Shaking his head, with no intention of paying attention, Makarov scanned the entire audience, and then slowly spoke.

"Everyone."

"This time I called everyone here mainly because I wanted to announce a decision."

Makarov's calm voice echoed in this small hall.

"Before that, please allow me to say thank you."

As he spoke, Makarov bent slightly toward the guild members.

"Thank you all for your cooperation and trust over the years! I really... thank you all very much!"

Wow——————! ! !

Makarov's move immediately caused an uproar among everyone in the guild.

Looking at the little old man bowing on the stage, everyone present was stunned.

Even the figure in the corner of the guild was stunned on the spot.

The trembling pupils clearly reflected Makarov's actions on the stage.

After a while, Erza was the first to react.

"What are you doing! President!!!"

Erza's exclamation instantly woke up all Fairy Tail members present.

"Yes, yes, old man, what are you doing?"

"Hey...why are you saying thank you all of a sudden? This...we are completely unprepared for this."

"Yes, yes, old man, and when it comes to thanking you, no matter how you say it, it should be us, the unlucky guys, who want to thank you, right?"

"Hey...President, what are you talking about...what are you talking about!!"

Countless discussions and loud noises arose.

The bustling sound made the entire hall feel like a vegetable market.

But Makarov turned a deaf ear.

He slowly stood up straight.

Taking a deep breath: "Everyone, I have been in this guild for more than eighty years, and I have been the president for more than forty years."

"It's been such a long time..."

Listening to Makarov's emotional voice, Mirajane seemed to understand something. She raised her hands in disbelief and covered her mouth.

"Could it be that……"

"I'm tired after so many years, so I think I should start thinking about retirement." On the stage, Makarov's words completely confirmed Mirajane's guess.

retire!

Makarov...the longest-serving president of Fairy Tail since its founding...plans to retire!

A moment! The entire guild fell silent.

Makarov's expression was relaxed.

Mirajane's expression was one of shock.

Erza's expression was one of disbelief.

The expressions of everyone in the guild were stiff.

Only in the corner of the guild, the man who had been leaning alone on the wooden post stood up straight in an instant.

His expression... was unprecedentedly exciting!

"Old man...is retiring?!" Laxus looked excited.

The eyes are shining with a strange light...
