Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

That makes sense, though. With a wife who has entered the 'non-human realm' and holds the 'King' level of magic, there's really no need for her to know so much.

Therefore, it was only after losing Leila, his 'wheelchair,' that Jude discovered how chaotic the business district of the 'Fiore' Kingdom was.

"And now, the second seat of the 'Ten Wizards', Senior Hyberion, the third seat, Professor Ulfheim, the fourth seat, Senior Warlord Sinken, the fifth seat, Senior Makarov, and I, who am the seventh seat, are all members of the 'Fairy Tail' guild."

"In other words, our Fairy Tail guild alone accounts for half of the strongest fighting force on the continent of Ishgard."

"In addition, our Fairy Tail guild's current S-class mages, such as Gildarts Clive, Laxus Dreira, Mirajane Strauss, Erza, and Mystogan, are all strong enough to rival the Ten Wizard Saints."

After introducing the powerful members of the guild, Igor smiled slightly at Jude and said truthfully, "To put it simply, as long as Heartfilia allies with our Fairy Tail guild, you can ignore all interpersonal relationships on the continent of Ishgar and do business however you want without any force daring to harm you."

"..."

After hearing what Ig said, Jude was completely stunned.

What does it mean for a mage guild to have five members who hold the title of "Ten Wizard Saints" and five members who possess strength comparable to the "Ten Wizard Saints"?!

What exactly is this private armed force, possessing high-end combat power capable of overwhelming a kingdom or even a continent, planning to do? It's hard to guess.

In particular, this private armed force has begun to make contact with him, who is the richest man in the Kingdom of Fiore and even the continent of Ishgar.

Once this private armed force possesses both top-tier individual combat capabilities and overwhelming financial resources, what will its next move be?

Oh my, this is really hard to guess!

"suck."

"call."

After thinking for a while, Jude looked at Igor seriously and said, "There's no problem with forming an alliance with the Fairy Tail guild!"

"very good."

When Ig heard the first part of Jud's words, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug and knowing look, as if everything was in his plan.

Then, Igor heard Jude continue, "But before the Fairy Tail guild prepares to launch a war against the continent of Ishgar, please inform me that I must take care of everyone in the Heartfilia family's group."

"Do not worry."

"We'll definitely let you know before our Fairy Tail guild launches a war against the continent of Ishgar... what a load of rubbish."

Igor's eye twitched. What was Jude thinking?

They're really good people from the Fairy Tail guild.

Chapter 153 Jiude: A noble? Fairy Tail and I could certainly take their place! (Part 1)

"this……"

"Ugh……"

"Fine, interpret it however you want."

After much deliberation, Igor finally let out a long sigh. It would be too troublesome for him to explain.

In any case, everything Ig is doing right now is indeed aimed at accumulating combat power to fight against the entire continent.

Although the continent that Ig intends to fight against is actually the western continent of 'Arakidasia'.

"I understand."

Jiude's eyes gleamed, and a surge of heat seemed to be rolling through his chest. He had already become the number one business in the 'Ishgar' continent.

If they want to go further now, or if they want to protect the Hatfilia family's assets from the various noble families of the Fiore Kingdom, the only way is to expand the family business into other industries.

Why is the Kingdom of Fiore forever controlled by those nobles? Why can't the Hatfilia family take their place?

Jiude fell into thought.

Sometimes, that's just how people are. Once they figure things out, their ambition just won't come out of control.

"Your Majesty Igor, when shall we begin the plan?"

Jude asked Igor with a frenzied expression.

"First, we need to link the Fairy Tail guild's flag with all of the Heartfilia family's businesses."

After thinking for a moment, Igor handed the other party a flag he had prepared in advance, bearing the Fairy Tail guild logo.

"I understand."

Jude smiled; he immediately understood what Ig meant.

And so it is.

In just half a month.

All businesses under the Heartfilia family, in addition to the original star flag representing the Heartfilia family, also have a second flag symbolizing the Fairy Tail guild.

Meanwhile, throughout the Kingdom of Fiore and even the entire continent of Ishgar, a message was circulating: the world's richest man, Jude Heartfilia, representing the entire Heartfilia family, had officially formed an alliance with the Fairy Tail guild.

Half a month after the Heartfilia family allied with the Fairy Tail guild, all of the Heartfilia family's businesses, including the mining company, railway company, and construction company, which had been forced to shut down due to the attack by the Dark Mage, resumed full operation.

The Gereneru family.

According to legend, they are as old as the Fiore family that rules the Fiore Kingdom. In the more than 400-year history of the Fiore Kingdom, they have intermarried with the Fiore royal family no less than ten times, making them a truly powerful noble family.

Moreover, the family has countless noble titles, ranging from the highest-ranking princes to barons, and they practically control one-eighth of the territory of the 'Fiore' Kingdom.

At the same time, this family was also one of the families that Jude originally intended to marry Lucy into through a political alliance. The eldest son of this family, Savaru Jerenilu, has now inherited the title of Duke and acquired a large territory.

At this moment, the esteemed duke was kneeling beside a middle-aged man with two small tufts of mustache, weeping incessantly:

"Father, please, please let me marry Miss Lucy."

Yes, this middle-aged man is Savaru's biological father, and also one of the most powerful nobles in the Kingdom of Fiore, Valentin Jerenilu, who holds the title of 'Prince'.

"Father, I love Lucy, I only love Lucy."

Savaru had to admit that he had fallen completely in love with Lucy, the only daughter of the Heartfilia family, the moment he saw her as a child, and he vowed to marry her.

"Don't worry, my dear son."

“I have put enough pressure on Judd and the ‘Hartphilia’ family.”

“If they want to preserve the 400-year-old foundation of the ‘Heartfilia’ family, then they will have to offer their daughter to our Jerenilu family.”

"Hehehe, not only will you be able to marry the fair-skinned and beautiful Lucy Heartfilia, but the wealth accumulated by the Heartfilia family over the past four hundred years will also fall entirely into the pockets of our Jerenilu family."

Valentine's smile was unusually lewd, his eyes filled with a greedy desire to possess the wealth accumulated by the 'Hartphilia' family over four hundred years.

"bump!"

Just as Valentine was feeling confident, the door to his office was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and a middle-aged man in a black robe stormed in angrily.

“Son, look! The people I arranged have arrived.”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Valentine decided to put on a show in front of his eldest son. He puffed out his chest and asked, "Respected Mr. Anthony, may I ask if the tasks I assigned you have been completed..."

"All done?"

"What a load of crap!"

"Before you sent me to cause trouble for the Heartfilia family, why didn't you tell me that they were connected to Fairy Tail?"

"Fortunately, I am a cautious person and I am used to doing my own research before doing things for my employers, otherwise I almost wouldn't have made it back."

The man in black, known as Anthony, was one of the dark mages hired by Valentine at great expense to cause trouble for the companies under the 'Heartphilia' family.

Moreover, he is the most powerful and famous mage among the dark guilds invited by Valentine, and is said to have combat power no less than that of the 'S-class' mages of the major light mage guilds.

In fact, this rumor is not an exaggeration at all. If you were to bring the 'MPF' displayed in the Fairy Tail guild hall and test Anthony's magic power there, you would be surprised to find that Anthony could score a high score of 1,200 points.

This score, while not as high as that of Laxus, Mystgon, Mirajane, and Erza, the four current S-class mages of the Fairy Tail guild.

But that's because the S-class mages in Fairy Tail are too strong, exceeding the S-class range of all the major mage guilds, and are all above the threshold of the Wizarding Ten.

In reality, the four S-class mages of the Phantom Lords guild, known as the Four Elements, are only slightly over a thousand in strength, except for the strongest one, the Wind Element.

However, this man, renowned for both his fame and strength, was so enraged by Valentine that he glared and puffed out his beard, his eyes filled with fear of the Fairy Tail guild.

"Uh."

Valentine looked puzzled and asked, "What is 'Fairy Tail'?"

"You don't even know what Fairy Tail is, yet you dare to hire me to do work?"

"I must be crazy to take on a job from you ignorant, stupid, and useless noblemen."

Anthony was about to explode. He pointed at Valentine's nose and roared, "I'm not doing this job! Let whoever wants to do it do it! I won't refund the deposit; that's your compensation to me."

After saying that, Anthony walked away without looking back.

"Mr. Anthony, please don't go!"

"If you can't reach an agreement on adding more money, you can tell me."

Valentine watched Anthony's departing figure, his eyes filled with confusion.

"This isn't about money; it's about survival."

"Money is gone, I can earn it back, but if I lose my life, where am I supposed to spend all that money you give me?"

Anthony was furious; there were some things he simply couldn't explain to people outside his circle.

Chapter 154 Fairy Tail has committed numerous crimes, so why is it still the guild of light mages? Because they can fight! (Part Two)

"No."

"I need to leave the Fiore Kingdom for a while to avoid being targeted by the Fairy Tail guild."

Anthony has made up his mind to leave the Kingdom of Fiore overnight for refuge.

"This……"

Valentine stared in disbelief at Anthony's escape; it was the first time he had ever seen a dark mage who disliked money.

"Son, it's alright."

"As a father, I have plenty of money and connections."

"We will surely find someone willing to help us deal with the 'Hartphilia' family."

As Valentine said this, he secretly memorized the name of the Mage Guild 'Fairy Tail', preparing to investigate it thoroughly.

In the time that follows.

Valentine used the telepathic communication magic crystal to contact several dark mage guilds.

Valentine even contacted the Oración Seis, one of the three major dark magic guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, which belonged to the Balam Alliance.

However, after Valentine spoke with these dark mage guilds, something happened that completely surprised him...

First, there's the first dark mage guild Valentine associated with, the Black Mantis, which belongs to the Oración Seis. The guild leader is a formidable figure no less powerful than Anthony.

"Hahaha."

"Let's deal with the 'Hartfilia' family, it's simple..."

After Valentine explained his 'purpose', the 'Black Mantis' guild leader immediately let out bursts of sharp laughter.

When the president of the Dark Mage Guild learned that Valentine had approached him to deal with the 'Heartfilia' family, the richest family on the continent, he was overjoyed. In his eyes, this was a lucrative opportunity.

"Hahaha."

"Then I'll leave it to you, sir. You'll be richly rewarded once it's done."

Valentine laughed loudly, gave the remote communication magic crystal a thumbs up repeatedly, and after promising a large sum of money, suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know the Mage Guild 'Fairy Tail'?"

"..."

The guild leader of the Dark Mage Guild 'Black Mantis', who had been laughing heartily, immediately stopped laughing after hearing the name of the 'Fairy Tail' guild.

"Why...why are you asking this?"

The leader of the 'Black Mantis', a middle-aged man with tattooed arms, asked Valentine a question.

"It's nothing, I just heard that there seems to be some kind of secret between the Heartfilia family and the Fairy Tail guild! Someone told me that they've formed an alliance."

After thinking it over, Valentine told the 'Black Mantis's' chairman what Anthony had told him.

"puff……"
