Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

Since the other party made the first move, it is reasonable and justifiable for Fairy Tail guild master to protect the safety of the client in self-defense!

Ron nodded, then quickly stood up, grabbed Wes, and ran towards the door.

"Then we'll be heading out now, President!"

As Vess was being dragged along, he kept looking back at Makarov, who was still standing there, filled with worry.

As Makarov turned his back to the gate, facing all the gang members rushing towards him, his brows furrowed, his lips drooping, and several veins bulging on his forehead.

"You boys, did you ask me before you tried to harm my employer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Makarov's magic surged, and the wooden planks beneath his feet instantly emitted bursts of dazzling blue light, forming a magic circle that covered the entire room.

The ripples created by the magic made Weiss gasp, and he followed Ron in fleeing without looking back.

The radiant magic circle completely stunned everyone present.

Eugene's eyes widened. It wasn't until the wave of magic swept over him that he realized why he felt so familiar with this white-haired old man.

I saw him in a magic magazine when I was little; he was the guild master of Fairy Tail!

Eugene broke out in a cold sweat and quickly hid under the table, trembling with fear.

The bald boss and his men, being inexperienced and unaware of the situation, only saw the originally short, white-haired old man's body gradually grow larger under the glow of the light.

As the enormous shadow gradually enveloped everyone in their room, the bald man realized he had messed with someone he shouldn't have.

Boom!

Ron managed to pull Wes away from the law firm and they finally reached a wide street. Before they could even catch their breath, a loud noise came from behind them.

Even the street beneath their feet felt a faint tremor, and the surrounding residents stopped in their tracks, watching in alarm.

The sound of wood being smashed continued to emanate from the law firm, sending dust flying everywhere and raising a cloud of mist from the ground.

Ron felt a surge of hope and muttered to himself:

"The commotion caused by the chairman is really outrageous. Choosing to escape was the right choice."

Dealing with a few thugs was enough to get the Ten Wizard Saints involved; I guess you could say I used a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Viss, who was standing to the side, was also shocked. His jaw dropped and he couldn't close it for a long time.

He hadn't expected Makarov to be a mage of this caliber.

Vess, maintaining a shocked expression, slowly turned his head and asked Ron:

"Commander...didn't you say before that you would personally negotiate with the lawyers and resolve these debt issues?"

What are those performances in your videos?

Ron straightened his tie, waved his hand dismissively, and showed no regard for his previous promise.

"How could it possibly be solved? Since there is an external force, we must rely on that force to solve it."

Such a commotion should have alerted the Magic Council, so this case is no longer our concern.

Upon hearing this shameless remark, Weiss couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Although Young Master Ron doesn't have the elegant and dignified demeanor of the former captain, he is the most reliable!

Ron ignored Weiss's worship and, with a thought, summoned the system.

[Current performance level: 86%]

Ron was overjoyed. In less than a day, his performance had already reached 86%!

It seems that my consecutive actions have already convinced the system that I have successfully demonstrated the character's personality traits.

It seems that as long as he maintains this style of behavior and reaches 100%, it's only a matter of time before he permanently obtains an A-level learning talent.

Just then, the continuous commotion in the Angel Contract Law Firm finally stopped, and the sound of things being smashed ceased.

squeak~

The half-damaged wooden door slowly opened, revealing Makarov, who had returned to his diminutive size.

Makarov, with Eugene, whose eyes had rolled back and who was foaming at the mouth, in one hand and dragging the unconscious, blood-stained bald leader in the other, walked out of the dust storm.

Makarov dusted himself off and looked up to see Ron waving at him with a big smile.

He sighed, his expression almost laughing in exasperation at the kid.

"Kid, you're really clever. You knew I'd make a big fuss, so you slipped out first."

Ron, ever the familiar type, stepped forward, leaned on Makarov's shoulder, and began pressing down hard with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, Guild Master! As the guild master of the Mage Guild, I naturally dare not question your strength."

We'll wait for the Magic Council to handle these fabricated debts and the ensuing injuries.

Ron didn't expect that despite using all his strength in his thumb, Makarov's shoulder muscles didn't move at all; instead, it was his own thumb that started to ache.

"Hmph, I underestimated the shamelessness of you, kid."

Your second commission doesn't seem like a good job to me.

How about I recommend another magic guild to you?

Makarov was genuinely scared. This first commission was a trap he set for me right in front of everyone. He was afraid to accept the second commission, fearing that this kid would cause trouble again.

Ron loosened his thumb, and seeing that it had no effect, he immediately stepped in front of Makarov and smiled:

"President, are you sure you don't want to take the second commission? This is a long-term commission with high profits, you know?"

Maybe it can solve your financial crisis?

Upon hearing that the profits were substantial, Makarov's ears twitched involuntarily.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking:

"Tell me what the request is, and I'll consider whether to accept it."

Ron smiled confidently:

"Okay, I'll discuss this long-term arrangement with you in detail, but..."

Makarov raised his gray eyebrows.

"But what?"

Ron then turned his head and glanced at the Angel Contract Law Firm behind him, which was almost in ruins.

"President, you must introduce me to a new law firm, one that is trustworthy this time."

I don't want to get scammed again.

Chapter 7 Suspension of Business

As dusk fell, a bright light shone from a dilapidated tent on the edge of Magnolia town.

That was the stage where the Pure White Theatre Company was performing. The members backstage were in a state of panic and were extremely busy.

The two main actors scheduled to appear tonight have mysteriously disappeared, and the acting head of the troupe, Weiss, who is always in charge of everything backstage, is also nowhere to be seen. This is the first time they have encountered such a situation.

"Where did the acting team leader go? Are we just going to push two random team members onto the stage?"

A tall male member of the group couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead and ask in confusion.

"I see Vess, he's right there!"

Just then, a female member with heavy makeup noticed that Weiss lifted the tent flap and walked over.

However, Weiss frowned slightly, his usually straight back slumped, and his expression was dazed and full of fatigue.

The female member immediately stepped forward and asked Weiss:

"Weiss, the two lead actors have disappeared. What should we do now?"

Weiss reassured him in a calm tone:

"Never mind them for now, go and call all the group members over here."

Although the female members of the group looked puzzled upon hearing this, they still called everyone over as Weiss instructed.

Finally, all thirteen members from backstage gathered together.

Looking at the young members who were crowding around him, Weiss couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Finally, Weiss looked towards the gap in the curtain next to the stage.

"The rest of the team members are all here, team leader."

The group members stared wide-eyed at each other.

"Could it be that Commander White and the others have returned?"

"Weren't they on vacation? Why did they suddenly come back?"

Amidst the uncertain gazes of Xingsuo, the curtain behind the scenes was slowly opened by a small hand, and Ron stepped out, not the Commander White as they had expected.

Ron was so small that all the band members had to duck slightly to look at him when he walked in.

Ron walked leisurely to Weiss's side, then turned to face the group members, slightly raising his chin and looking directly at them.

Facing all the band members who were taller than him, Ron was not intimidated and confidently smiled.

“Strictly speaking, I am not the leader yet. Weiss is temporarily in charge. The reason for gathering all the members is that there is something to announce.”

Ron's nonchalant demeanor was nothing like that of a 10-year-old child facing a group of adults.

Ron calmly swept his gaze across the band members in front of him, sending chills down their spines. The members, who had been whispering amongst themselves, unconsciously fell silent.

"You all panicked so much when you heard the commander was coming back. Are you afraid that the bad things you did will be discovered?"

The moment those words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces became quite interesting.

Some people's faces were filled with fear, some showed expressions of regret, and some didn't dare to look Ron in the eye and lowered their heads guiltily.

The tall male member of the group took a step forward, his face full of anger.

"What bad news, we..."

"Don't try to argue, I have evidence this time."

Seeing that the male member was about to defend himself, Ron didn't give him a chance to finish speaking and leisurely took out a list from his pocket.

“Eugene has confessed. On this list he provided, all of you except Weiss were involved in Eugene’s fraud scheme.”

Upon seeing that it had been exposed, the male members' anger instantly subsided, leaving only a look of astonishment on their faces.

He swallowed hard and took a few steps back, looking rather embarrassed.

At that moment, the curtain on one side of the backstage was abruptly pulled open, and a whole team of law enforcement officers walked in, surrounding all the members of the group except for Weiss and Ron.

Ron, seeing the bewildered expressions on the group members' faces, explained loudly:

“You are now involved in fraud and forgery, so you had better come back with the law enforcement team.”

Several group members who attempted to escape were ruthlessly pinned to the ground by law enforcement officers.

"And one last thing..."

Before Ron could finish speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Wes.

Weiss instantly understood and revealed a resolute look in his eyes.

"As the acting troupe leader, I hereby officially announce that you have all been expelled from the Pure White Theatre Troupe!"

The law enforcement team handcuffed all the group members gathered backstage, and then took a few more people away from the two main actors who were unable to move in the study.

The backstage area instantly became empty, leaving only scattered performance props on the floor.

Weiss looked completely drained, slumped in his chair, utterly exhausted after experiencing such a rollercoaster of emotions.

"Director, they were clearly worried the performance wouldn't go ahead, could it be...?"

"Uncle Weiss, they're just worried about their wages."

Ron saw through them and calmly said:

"If Eugene doesn't pay them the final payment, they will react the same way."

Moreover, since they chose to participate, they should have expected this kind of consequence.

Viss listened to what Ron said, took a deep breath, and nodded.
