<h4>Chapter 390: Commandeering</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Shiraishi <strong>Editor: </strong>TheAlliance


    “Let me rephrase this! The ck Tower ismandeering your Three Great Mercenary Groups!” Sn red coldly at the trio.


    “Commandeering? With just you?”


    The irascible Dean sneered as he looked at Sn, some faint sparks flickering over his body. With the power of a 3rd Rank Sword Saint, Dean wasn’t putting Sn in his eyes.


    Sn was still a High Mage when Dean had be a Sword Saint.


    But, at that time.


    A voice suddenly echoed.


    “Okay, stop there. Your three mercenary groups seemed to have forgotten that the ck Tower isn’t discussing with you, we are taking you over! Do you not know what that means...?”


    Everyone felt a huge power descending when that voice suddenly appeared.


    That power was unfathomable. Delson and Rolf, those rarely seen experts, didn’t have any thought of resisting that power. The Line Canyon seemed to have been silenced, the trio’s faces turning ashen.


    They instantly understood. Sn wasn’t alone, he had a more powerful existence behind him.


    Speaking of which, that person who appeared... He was an old man in his sixties, seemingly no different from an ordinary old man. But he was emitting a frightening aura.


    “Representative Weiss...” Delson felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this man was one of the seven Representatives of the ck Tower Council.


    Perhaps Sn couldn’t represent the ck Tower earlier, but Representative Weiss could! The Council of Seven was almost the highest authority in the ck Tower.


    “Representative Weiss, howe you are here?” Delson squeezed out a smile, his voice shivering, not from excitement, but from fear. “Our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group obeys the ck Tower’smand.”


    Although they were both Archmages, he was only a 3rd Rank Archmage. He had no confidence when facing Weiss. He believed that as long as Weiss was willing, he would immediately end up dead.


    Moreover, as a member of the Council of Seven, Weiss only needed to say one word to cause endless trouble for his mercenary group.


    “Representative Weiss, we also wish to obey the ck Tower’smand...”


    Rolf and Dean nced at each other and before helplessly looking at the other side. Since the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group had already admitted defeat, there was no meaning in standing against the ck Tower.


    “I don’t have time to waste on this. Sn, the three mercenary groups will follow your arrangements.” After saying this, the old man’s silhouette disappeared.


    The appearance of a Representative made the three wishful mercenary groups feel hopeless. They might be able to ignore Sn Monchi, but they couldn’t ignore Representative Weiss.


    Although the Vice Leaders and the Leader had some reputation in Ond, and countless people wanted to befriend them, they understood that they weren’t on the same level as Weiss.


    They gradually felt that the irresistible reward they had been thinking about was bing more and more illusory.


    The three mercenary groups, under Sn Monchi’s guidance, rushed to the ck Tower’s camp. The Line Canyon was indeed full of danger. The deeper they went, the more magic beasts they encountered.


    In a bit over half a day, they encountered over a dozen waves of magic beasts. Fortunately, the three mercenary groups had plenty of people and didn’t suffer many losses.


    In the temporary meeting room of the three mercenary groups, Delson, Dean, and Rolf were gathered, quarreling over loot. This kind of scene would have never happened before. Before, the three mercenary groups needed to cooperate tightly in order to guarantee their safety.


    With the ck Tower appearing and forciblymandeering them, they were no longer able toplete themission of the Odin Kingdom, so they couldn’t rely on that extremelyvish reward...


    Although they still cooperated, they weren’t as close as before.


    Lin Yun was sitting in a corner, not cutting into the conversation, frowning thoughtfully instead. The appearance of the ck Tower was beyond his expectations.


    For a Representative toe, it could be seen how much value the ck Tower orded to this ce.


    Well, Lin Yun wasn’tpletely shocked by the appearance of the ck Tower.


    In those years, the Gaugass Battlemages had been part of the ck Tower for over a millennium. During that millennium, they swept through all of Ond’s forces and even the peak Cloud Tower had no choice but to lower their heads in front of the ck Tower. If not for that huge disaster three centuries ago, the Gaugass Battlemages would still be fighting alongside the ck Tower. It wouldn’t be surprising if some clues about the Gaugass King were left behind.


    But this definitely wasn’t good news for Lin Yun. The situation of the Tn Mountain Range wasplicated enough. His five-man team and the three mercenary groups had been benefiting from each other, but now, there was also the ck Tower.


    Archmage Sn, Representative Weiss, and the ck Tower’s mage legion... This was a frightening line-up suddenly appearing! They directly pressured the three mercenary groups, and it might not be that easy if he wanted to explore the vestige of the Gaugass King on his own.


    ‘Had I known earlier that this would happen, I would have left for the Tn Mountain Range earlier. Although it would be risky, I wouldn’t have to worry about others making my ns go awry.’


    But, just as Lin Yun thought about this, he heard a noise outside his tent...


    “Sir Sn, you, you... You can’t go in.”


    “Fuck off!”


    A cold voice echoed as the mercenary guarding the meeting room was thrown off his feet, before heavily crashing into the meeting room.


    Sn walked in with firm steps. He gloomily looked around before finally seeing Lin Yun. ‘Sure enough, it’s him!’


    He didn’t participate when they met those several hundred magic beasts. Instead, he stood in the distance, waiting, when suddenly, a familiar silhouette shing in his field of view. He suddenly recalled why that silhouette felt familiar. It was actually Mafa Merlin from Thousand Sails City!


    He had heard that Mafa Merlin hade to Ond and spent 37,000,000 golds in an auction. At the time, he had just returned from the Pale ne and had a huge pile of issues waiting for him that he couldn’t get away from. He then followed Weiss to the Tn Mountain Range and was surprised to learn that Mafa Merlin was also here!


    He knew of Mafa Merlin’s actions in Thousand Sails City. The Monchi Family had to struggle on the verge of destruction. Sn had been taken back to the ck Tower by his teacher when he was very young. For forty years, Sn rarely had any contact with the Monchi Family. There was nothing he could do about it. When he returned to Thousand Sails City for the first time in a whilest year, he didn’t head for the Monchi Family, but rather, for Mafa Merlin’s home.


    He had seen many ancient materials and lots of information in the ck Tower, and he found clues to a ne that was likely located in Mafa Merlin’s residence. There might be a nar Path leading to another ne there.


    What did apletely new ne represent? He knew that better than anyone. To any mage, that was a golden paradise, with countless precious magic materials. Any time a new ne appeared, countless forces would fight over it.


    Thus, Sn didn’t hesitate and immediately got on the move. Not long after Locke Merlin’s shipwreck, the Monchi Family followed his hint and started fighting over that residence.


    In Sn’s eyes, with the power of the Monchi Family in Thousand Sails City, there would be no difficulties, and everything would go smoothly.


    But, it was far from that. Not only did everything go wrong for them, but Mafa Merlin’s Gilded Rose quickly rose up. In a short year, the Monchi Family could no longer be considered the Merlin Family’s rival. Even so, Sn wasn’t worried. He had be an Archmage in the Pale ne. He was originally nning on dealing with all his matters before going to Thousand Sails City to kill Mafa Merlin and take away his Gilded Rose and house...


    But that Mafa Merlin had run out of luck. He followed the Three Great Mercenary Groups to the depths of the Tn Mountain Range and was spotted.


    Thus, everything became a lot simpler.


    “Sn Monchi, what are you trying to do? Our three mercenary groups are discussing some important matters, what are you rushing in here for? Did you really think that because of Representative Weiss, your ck Tower can interfere in the matters of our mercenary groups? This is definitely out of the question! Now get lost!”


    Vice Leader Dean of the Temple Knights had an irascible character and just happened to have been embroiled in an argument. After suffering so many hardships to enter the Tn Mountain Range, they were taken over by the ck Tower. He had been restraining his anger, but he had lost in the loot distribution just now and had been angrily quarrelling with Delson. Sn Monchi was definitely entering at a bad time.


    Normally, with the pressure put by Weiss, Dean might have still endured.


    “Sn Monchi, you are too excessive...” Delson’s expression was cold, and anger could be felt in his tone. They were the top three mercenary groups of Ond. Even if they were pressured by Weiss and had to lower their heads to Weiss, they still wouldn’t put any importance on someone like Sn Monchi.


    On the way, whether it was Delson or Dean, or even Rolf, they all looked at Sn in an unpleasant way.


    ‘We are afraid of the ck Tower, of Representative Weiss, but who do you think you are, Sn? You only just became and Archmage and you think you can interrupt a meeting of the Three Great Mercenary Groups?’
