Gray felt a headache coming on and quickly abandoned the still unconscious Natsu, getting up to stop him.

"Wait a minute, Erza, let's not even talk about whether Happy can take you to the next station before the train arrives at the battlefield."

Even if you arrive at the station ahead of time as you expect and find the magic four-wheeled vehicle, what then?

Those who unleash their magic at full speed will be unable to fight even if they catch up with the people of the Iron Forest.

What's the difference between that and going to your death?

"We can't just do nothing, can we?"

Erza was so anxious that she lost her composure.

Gray was speechless for a moment, unable to think of a better solution.

Fortunately, Yan spoke up at this moment.

"Why are you all in such a hurry? You don't think so many association presidents are just sitting around doing nothing, do you?"

Although my president is lazy, despicable, disgusting, and a bit annoying.

But I still acknowledge his abilities; I don't think he'd be taken down by such a minor character.

"Your assessment of your family's chairman is quite objective."

Harby sighed with emotion, now he was starting to be curious about the president who had been belittled to the point of being worthless.

Gray selectively ignored Yan's first two sentences and looked at Erza, agreeing:

"She's right. I don't think the old man will be dealt with so easily either."

So Erza, calm down. You need to trust the old man, and you need to trust us.

"Once the train arrives at the next station, you just focus on driving the magic vehicle. Leave those bastards from Iron Forest to me and that good-for-nothing."

Looking at Gray and Natsu, whom he was pointing at, Erza took a deep breath and gradually calmed down with the comfort of her companions.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively. It seems my cultivation is still inadequate."

After she apologized, the two people and the cat sat back down in their seats.

Yandu could see the mutual trust between the three of them.

She began to have a better understanding of the team, so she decided to change her plans and observe them more closely.

"Hmm, I suddenly feel that I should still pay attention to the safety of my chairman."

So, if you don't mind, let me join you from now on.

Erza and Gray's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

They had already witnessed Yan's detection abilities, and with his help, they could better stop the Iron Forest gang.

Erza immediately welcomed Yan.

"That's great, Miss Yan. With you joining us, I have even more confidence."

Erza and Hiko formed a team to chase after the Iron Forest group.

In the routine meeting room, the grueling meeting finally came to an end.

Bitz was groggily woken up by Lucy beside him. He rubbed his eyes and stretched comfortably.

"Huh—, Lucy, what time is it? Isn't it time for lunch?"

Looking at Bits, who was yawning and looking lazy, Lucy couldn't help but twitch her lips, even though she already knew the meeting was just a formality.

"Please, President, we are all newcomers participating for the first time."

Even if the meeting isn't important, you should at least pretend to be.

It wouldn't be good if the leaders of other guilds thought we didn't respect the established guild alliance.

"Okay, I understand. So what time is it now? Can we eat now?"

Bits's dismissive attitude infuriated Lucy.

"All you do is eat! With such an irresponsible guild leader like you, when will our guild ever grow strong?!"

"Hey, when you say that, look at Chairman Makarov. He's still not awake at this hour."

Following Bits' finger, Lucy looked at Makarov, who was leaning back in his chair, fast asleep with a bubble coming out of his nose, and her vision immediately went black.

Seeing her frustrated expression, Bitts laughed and immediately put his arm around her shoulder, leading her downstairs with the crowd.

"Alright, alright, eating is the most important thing. How can we have the strength to lead the guild to develop and grow if we don't fill our stomachs?"

Holding Beates' strong arms and smelling his rich masculine scent, Lucy, who had just been bristling, instantly calmed down. Her cheeks and neck flushed red as she let him do as he pleased, and he carried her back downstairs.

Just as the two were about to find a seat, the fat and greasy Bob appeared behind them without them noticing, and said in a strange voice:

"Really, Guild Master Bits, targeting guild members can really damage your reputation."

Looking back at the strangely shaped, overweight transvestite, Bitz took two steps back without changing his expression, but did not let go of her hand.

"When young people are mutually attracted, how can you call it taking action?"

Lucy blushed even more at what was said, and secretly nudged Beetz's waist with her elbow, while feeling a little strange inside.

This guy already has Sister Yan, but he still tries to take advantage of me. Just wait and see how I tell Sister Yan when I get back.

Watching the two's subtle actions, Bob cupped his face with an ambiguous and envious expression, and said coquettishly:

"Oh, come on, you're saying such nice things. President Bits must be very popular with girls."

As he spoke, Bob handed Bitz a business card and winked at him, saying:

"When you have time, you are welcome to visit our Azure Pegasus."

After saying that, Bob's fat body walked away.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after he had walked away.

This Chairman Bob has a good personality and is very friendly, but his appearance is really unbearable.

When the two found a place to sit down, there were already quite a few dishes on the table.

Bitts had inquired beforehand and learned that the food at the venue was unlimited during the meeting.

So he didn't hold back and started eating heartily.

Picking up a bone that was almost half his size and gnawing on it, Bittz began to recall the plot.

If he remembers correctly, this routine meeting appears to have been attacked.

He had forgotten the attackers' specific identities; they were simply a group of guys from a dark guild, and apparently, a demon even appeared at the end.

Thinking it over, Bitsga used his atmospheric perception range to see if any suspicious individuals were approaching.

He could sense something was wrong as soon as he started to spread it out.

Huh? How did Yan end up hanging out with Erza?

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 223 Erik Gor, Fairy Tail Team Intercepts!

Iron Forest, a dark guild that specializes in assassination missions.

Their guild's ace, Erigor, is known as the Grim Reaper and is a well-known assassin throughout the entire magic world.

Clearly, Eligoll was not content with being just a paid hitman; he harbored far greater and more unrealistic ambitions.

They were delusional enough to use the Magic Flute LLABY to curse and kill all the guild leaders attending the routine meeting in one go.

This idea, which most people would consider absurd, was met with unwavering confidence by Elrigor and the members of the Iron Forest.

As evening approached and the train drew closer to Croba City, the excitement of the Iron Forest group grew.

With long, messy, silver-white hair, shirtless, and carrying a large scythe on his shoulder, Eligor leaned half his body out of the window, looking at the city of Croba that was already close at hand, and sneered:

"It's going exceptionally smoothly. As long as we can reach Croba City and let those useless old men who occupy high positions hear the sound of LLABY's flute."

The legitimate guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore would instantly lose their leaders and fall apart.

"Then it will be time for us, the rats they once looked down upon, to shine."

Suppressing the joy of his dream coming true, Eligoll shrank back and ordered his underlings in the carriage:

"LLABY's whistle doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. Once you reach your destination, wait outside the city until my signal appears before you enter the city."

I will make Croba City the first dead zone where people can hear LABY's demonic voice.

The members of the Iron Forest cheered loudly with great enthusiasm.

If the plan succeeds, they will be able to instantly eliminate the leaders of a group of legitimate guilds.

They could also easily plunder the defenseless city of Croba and seize the entire city's wealth.

This is such a wonderful thing; it's worth far more than what they used to earn by painstakingly completing missions and commissions.

With everyone ready, Eligoll had his underling manually stop the train.

The crowd surged off the carriage, and Eligoro grabbed his magic flute, ready to carry out the plan.

Just then, a magical four-wheeled vehicle, trailing a cloud of dust, sped toward them from behind.

With a frown and displeasure on his face, he whipped his tail, leaving two long tire tracks on the ground, and stopped in front of them.

Gray, who had switched drivers with Erza halfway through the journey, was now deathly pale.

He was panting heavily, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his eyes. He quickly took off the magic supply device from his wrist, jumped out of the car, and looked warily at the group led by Eric.

"Thank goodness, we made it in time!"

At the same time, the car door was kicked open, and Natsu jumped out of the car, breathing in the fresh air outside.

"I'm alive, I'm alive again. I almost went to see Igniel."

Then, Happy, Erza, and Hiko got off the car from the left and right sides of the door respectively.

Shaking her head, which was still a little dizzy from being shaken, Erza grinned, revealing a chilling sneer, and said in a cold tone:

"Finally caught up with you, you bastards from the Iron Forest! You won't set foot in Croba City!"

Erza's words immediately caused a commotion among the people of the Iron Forest.

"Who are they? How do they know our plans?"

"Look at the crest on that red-haired woman in armor; they're from the official guild Fairy Tail!"

"Damn it, has our plan been discovered by a legitimate guild? What are we going to do?!" (Deleted) [Qi3 Private] Amidst the excited chatter and anxious discussion of his underlings, Eligoll's expression remained largely unchanged. He merely glanced at a few of the members responsible for searching for LLABBY before looking away.

Those incompetent people must have leaked information during the mission.

Useless things, I'll deal with you after the plan is complete.

After cursing the group in his mind, Eligoll let out a disdainful sneer.

"Hmph, hahaha, how laughable! A bunch of self-proclaimed righteous fools. So what if they've discovered our plan?"

Erigor stepped forward from the crowd, and with the help of wind magic, he flew into the air and looked down at everyone.

He took the large scythe off his shoulder, turned sideways, pointed mockingly at the city behind him, and said sarcastically:

"When I arrived in this city, my plan was already half complete."

"Now, all I have to do is play the magic flute and take care of all the guild leaders, including yours, and this plan will be a complete success."

As he spoke, he slowly swung his long scythe, aiming it at the four who had overestimated themselves and come to stop him, and said disdainfully: "Dad, you seven-sulfur instrument?"

"As for you... ha, let my men play with you slowly."

Having said that, Eligoll wasn't going to waste any more time here and turned to fly into the city.

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!"

Seeing that the other party was trying to escape, Erza immediately prepared to change her clothes and chase after them.

But the members of the Iron Forest wouldn't just stand by and watch, letting them disrupt Mr. Ericoer's plans.

In an instant, colorful magic enveloped the four of them.

Erza had no choice but to call Natsu, Gray, and Happy to dodge.
