Chapter Summary
If you didn't have the ability to kill a War God-level expert today, do you know what the consequences would be? Even though Liu Ning's strength had increased and his backing was considerable, without an explanation, how could the Mage Guild accept the situation? If you couldn't produce one, there was nothing more to say, and even if Lin Lei pleaded for you, it wouldn't work.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. If you didn't have the ability to kill a War God-level expert today, do you know what the consequences would be? Don't think that humans won't do anything excessive to you. They are capable of anything. In this state, it could very well cost you your life. Have you thought about how your family would live if you died? We might be able to take care of you for a while, but if we neglect you, that would be an extreme choice. I can tell you clearly that the Mage Guild is capable of anything. As long as they can vent their anger, they don't care what others think. Even War God-level experts are no exception. They only care about their own face. So you must think carefully before you act. Never be so impulsive again. You were lucky this time, but that doesn't mean you'll always be so lucky."
Lin Lei wiped the sweat from his brow. He didn't know what to say about the situation. If Liu Ning were allowed to do this, the outcome would likely surprise everyone. But there was nothing more to say now; things had already come to this point, so all they could do was watch and see. What the final outcome would be was no longer their concern. The matter was practically resolved. Regardless of their own thoughts, everyone had done their part. If things had been resolved well, it would have been a good thing for everyone. But if not, Liu Ning wasn't in much danger. After all, he was now a super-high-level expert, even surpassing Zhao Wudi. Those in power wouldn't ignore that, and everyone understood this. This was Liu Ning's trump card; no one dared to do anything to him, as they couldn't bear the responsibility.
On the other hand, Liu Ning's current strength is indeed formidable. If we were to place him and the magician Yale on a scale, they would essentially be equal now. Although there are other factors involved, it's impossible to punish Liu Ning based on this situation alone. Moreover, Liu Ning is about to go to the ancient ruins. If he wants to gain some benefits from the ancient ruins, then the scales will likely tip in his favor. Magicians are indeed important, but that doesn't mean there aren't people more important than them in this society. If a magician does nothing and makes no contribution to human society, then not many people will hold him in high esteem. Liu Ning is different. Liu Ning has made far too many contributions to human society. If we were to list them all, it would be quite remarkable. Precisely because of this, when certain things happen, everyone reacts very well, and everyone understands this point. This is the most important thing.
"I know you mean well, and I'll think it over carefully in the future. But I just couldn't help myself in that situation. Do you know how important my wife is to me? I think of my wife in everything I do. Although I'm not old, I know what she's all about. You might be from a wealthy family, and with the Mage Guild, you might not understand this, but I understand it perfectly. Without her, I might still be a bachelor. I see things very clearly, so I have to take good care of her. What's the point of becoming a strongman if I can't protect her? I might as well be an ordinary citizen and live a more comfortable life. So I have no regrets about this. Once we get to the capital, if anyone tries to cause trouble, I'll face them head-on. I really don't believe they can do anything to me."
Liu Ning spoke with great bravado. While his current strength was formidable, he was still inferior to a high-level mage. Mr. Yale was indeed no match for Liu Ning, mainly because Mr. Yale's strength was insufficient to make the necessary contributions to human society. If Mr. Yale were strong enough, Liu Ning's earlier statement wouldn't be possible; everyone would attack him. For example, the president of the Mage's Guild, when ferocious beasts attacked the city, could easily wipe out the beasts with a single powerful spell. Don't think this is a joke; he could certainly do it. It's just that Mr. Yale couldn't do it now. If Mr. Yale could, this feud could be resolved. Therefore, Liu Ning needed to change his temper. When encountering someone he couldn't defeat, he should try to swallow his pride; there was nothing shameful about it.
Just as Liu Ning was speaking, Lin Lei received a message: the Mage Guild's order had arrived. Although the Mage Guild couldn't directly command Liu Ning, they knew the two were together, so they passed the message to Lin Lei. Lin Lei was to tell Liu Ning that he had to go to the Mage Guild in the capital. No matter what his situation was, he had to give them an explanation. Even though Liu Ning's strength had increased and his backing was considerable, without an explanation, how could the Mage Guild accept the situation? What would become of their reputation? This was the most important issue. Therefore, Liu Ning had to provide an explanation; otherwise, the outcome would be dire. The Mage Guild wasn't an ordinary organization. You killed a War God-level expert; it was perfectly normal for them to demand an explanation. If you couldn't produce one, there was nothing more to say, and even if Lin Lei pleaded for you, it wouldn't work.
