"Everyone! Thank you so much for coming to hear me sing. Next up is my last song, 'Tomorrow,' for you all!"
"Do it!"
Just as Alice finished speaking, many people suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Eh?!"
"what is this?"
"Was it added on short notice for the sake of the show?"
……
Everyone in the audience was completely bewildered.
"Catch them!"
The bodyguard captain was the first to react and ordered his men to take action.
All the bodyguards rushed forward, but were all knocked down in just a few moves.
Alice panicked slightly: "Who...who are you people?!"
"Miss Alice, my boss likes you very much. Please come with us."
Alice realized at that moment that the other party was the one who claimed to be kidnapping her. She had initially thought it was a joke played by her haters, but it turned out to be true.
"Take her away!"
The two of them rushed toward Alice.
Swish!
A figure quickly appeared in front of Alice.
puff!
"Uhhhhh!"
"Wow ah ah!"
The two kidnappers were slashed and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Erza pointed her longsword at the other person and said, "I will not allow you to harm a single hair on Miss Alice's head."
"Erza!"
Alice was somewhat surprised.
"Miss Alice, don't leave my side."
Erza felt immense pressure upon seeing that the opposing team numbered over thirty. She had initially assumed there would be only three to five people, but the sheer number of over thirty was comparable to a small mage guild.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Taken Advantage Of
"A mage from the guild? So you've got a mage to help you. But do you really think just one mage can hold off so many of us?"
"She's not alone."
Lu Li walked over with his hands in his pockets.
"What difference does it make if there's one person or two? Besides, they're just two brats. We're only here to invite Miss Alice. If you don't want to die, get out of my way and don't get in my way, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Lu Li, there are too many of them. Why don't we take Miss Alice and retreat first?"
Erza whispered to Lu Li that their priority was to protect the safety of their client.
"No need, just protect Miss Alice, I'll handle these guys."
"No! There are too many of them. You can't act recklessly like this!"
She knew Lu Li was very strong, but Lu Li had only been learning magic for a week, and the opponents were numerous and their strength was unknown.
Lu Li smiled at Erza and said, "Don't worry, I value my life very much and won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle."
Lu Li and Erza's conversation was also overheard by the other party.
"Hahahaha! Kid, I admire your confidence, but aren't you a little too confident? We are not like you mages who live in a false peace. We are dark guild mages living in a cruel dark world, far beyond what you guys can compare to."
Lu Li scratched his ear: "Have you finished talking nonsense? If you have, let's get started."
"You brat! Kill him!"
Several people wielding magic swords rushed towards Lu Li.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I thought it was some interesting magic, but it turns out they're all just magic swordsmen."
Magic swordsmen can be considered the most common type of mage, using their own magic power to wield magic swords for attacks.
This kind of magic is actually quite practical, but he finds it boring and prefers some novel magic.
Erza could also be considered in this category, but Erza mainly fights by transforming magical armor and weapons.
With flames crackling around his fists and feet, Lu Li easily dodged the opponent's attack and then punched someone in the abdomen.
"Uhhhhhh!!"
The man let out a painful scream and was sent flying by Lu Li's punch, his body falling into the audience below and losing consciousness.
"what?!"
Lu Li's attack startled everyone.
Then Lu Li moved quickly, easily dodging the opponent's attacks with the help of his perception technique. He threw punches and kicks, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were sent flying by Lu Li.
"Wow! Lu Li is amazing!!"
Alice clapped excitedly as she saw Lu Li display his great power.
"Use magic missiles!"
The leader shouted upon seeing this.
Some mages from the dark guilds also realized what was happening and quickly raised their hands to cast magic missiles at Lu Li.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Lu Li deflected the magic bullet aimed at him as easily as hitting a volleyball.
"what?!"
"How can it be?!"
"He actually...knocked my magic missile away?!"
The remaining members of the Dark Guild were completely dumbfounded.
"It seems you've run out of new magic tricks, so let's finish this quickly."
Lu Li raised his right hand and calmly uttered, "Crimson Heavenly Net!"
call!
A burst of purple flame shot out from Lu Li's palm, forming a net that captured almost all the remaining members of the Dark Guild into the air.
Purple flames rose, setting all those who were bound ablaze.
“Ugh!”
"Waaaaaah!"...
Lu Li released the spell, and these people fell onto the stage like dumplings being dropped into a pot, all of them unconscious.
The kidnapper leader's expression changed drastically. He stepped back and then rushed into the crowd below, grabbing a young woman.
"Don't come any closer! Or I'll kill her!"
"Waaaaah! No!"
The young girl was so frightened that her legs went weak and her face was filled with terror.
"You hypocritical Light Guild certainly won't allow innocent people to die in front of you, right, Alice! This girl is your fan. If you don't want your fan to die because of you, you'd better surrender obediently."
"Help...help me!" the girl looked at Alice with pleading eyes.
Seeing this, Alice immediately stepped forward: "Okay! I'll switch with her! Just don't hurt her!"
"Miss Alice!"
The fans watching were also moved, never expecting that Miss Alice would risk her life for her fans.
Just as Alice was about to go over, Lu Li reached out and stopped her.
The kidnapper leader yelled at Lu Li, "Hey! You brat! Do you want her dead?!"
His voice trembled slightly, clearly showing his great fear of Lu Li.
Lu Li smiled and said, "My job is to protect my clients, so naturally I can't let my clients put themselves in danger. As for you!"
Crack!
Golden lightning appeared beneath Lu Li's feet.
call out!
Lu Li's figure flashed past, appearing in front of the kidnapper leader in an instant.
Then, his arm stretched out, his palm grew larger, and he grabbed the kidnapper leader's head, slamming it towards the ground.
boom! ! !
The ground shattered with a deafening roar.
"Cough!" The leader coughed up blood, his face contorted in pain.
A large crater appeared in the ground.
Lu Li got up and released his grip. The kidnapper leader had already fainted, his eyes rolled back.
"Okay, it's okay."
Lu Li said to the girl.
"thanks, thanks!"
The girl was moved to tears by her narrow escape and kept thanking Lu Li.
Blah blah blah!
The crowd around him applauded enthusiastically. This young man was amazing. They had just witnessed how Lu Li defeated those mages and protected Alice.
Alice rushed over, hugged Lu Li tightly, and kissed him hard on the cheek.
"Lu Li! You're so handsome!"
Lu Li was completely dumbfounded. He had lived for over twenty years, and this was the first time he had ever been kissed by a girl.
Did someone take advantage of me?
Chapter Twenty-Four: Laxus
Kingdom soldiers quickly arrived and took all the offenders away, leaving the rest to the Magic Council.
Whoever the mastermind is, the Magic Council will definitely be able to find out, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
The next morning, Lu Li and Erza prepared to return to Fairy Tail.
Alice watched Lu Li and Erza leave with a heavy heart.
After spending these past few days together, she has grown to like both Erza and Lu Li, especially Lu Li, who was incredibly cool when he dealt with those bad guys last night.
So, without thinking, he rushed over and kissed Lu Li.
It's a pity that Lu Li is still a little brother. If he were two years older, she would definitely make him her boyfriend.
Of course, things are fine now, I just need to wait two more years.
On the train back, Lu Li looked at the reward he had received and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
From day one to day two, the mission took four days to complete, and the total reward was 20 J.
Alice wanted to give more, after all, the difficulty of this mission was extremely high, and even giving 100 million J would not be excessive.
However, Lu Li refused. The price listed on the mission request is the price; that's Fairy Tail's rule, and they won't arbitrarily raise the price for the client.
Lu Li handed 10 J to Erza.
