In this oppressive atmosphere, a burly man with a face full of flesh spat on the ground and said viciously, "I don't believe that no one can deal with him! This Merlin is just relying on the name of the Arcane Academy to bully others. The families behind us are all powerful enough to shake the land with just a stomp of their feet. Are they afraid of a young boy like him?"
His shouting seemed to ignite the anger in everyone's hearts, and the others joined in and started shouting at the same time.
"That's right. We've been working hard in this arcane city for so many years and have a solid foundation. How can we be controlled by him like this!" A thin man with a sinister light flashing in his eyes echoed while rubbing his hands together.
"I'm going to go back to my father and ask him to talk to the royal family. We can't just let this matter go!" A young man in gorgeous clothes stamped his feet in anxiety, veins bulging on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Everyone was talking at once, getting more and more excited, and they were all determined to use the power of their families and the backers behind them, as if they had already seen Merlin begging for mercy in disgrace under their joint suppression. They had no idea that a bigger storm was quietly waiting for them ahead.
After Merlin's tall and absolutely intimidating figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Alex's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. He waved his hand, and the members of the Arcane Academy Student Union and the students and teachers of the Judgment Academy, who had been ready for a long time, rushed towards the Upper City and Midtown of the Arcane City like a black torrent.
They were dressed in uniform. The black robes of the student union members were embroidered with exquisite arcane runes, which flickered with a mysterious glow in the sun. The teachers and students of the Judgment Academy were dressed in black robes, solemn and majestic, and intimidating. The crowd arrived at the destination in a mighty manner. Electrolux raised his hand again to signal, and the team immediately dispersed in an orderly manner and began to carry out the seizure mission.
A student union member strode up to a magnificent building. The exterior of the building was inlaid with gorgeous gems. It was obviously the property of a noble.
He pulled out a roll of bright yellow seal from his bosom. The seal was printed with the unique magic mark of the Arcane Academy. It emitted a faint glow under the sunlight, as if declaring the authority of the Arcane Academy.
The two students from the Judgment Academy beside him stepped forward quickly and stood on both sides, with their staffs flashing with magical light to prevent anyone from stopping them.
The student union member firmly placed one end of the seal on the door knocker, and then stretched it along the door frame with neat and precise movements to ensure that the seal was tight.
At the same time, another teacher from the Judgment Academy shouted loudly: "According to the instructions of the Arcane Academy, this building is now sealed for illegally occupying land and failing to pay fines!" The voice was like a loud bell, echoing throughout the entire street.
In Midtown, things were just as lively. In front of each shop, people from the Arcane Academy were busy and orderly. There was a small shop that sold rare magic items. The owner was a big businessman who was usually quite arrogant because of his wealth.
Seeing someone coming to seal the store, he rushed out of the store, his face flushed, veins popping out of his neck, and roared, "Do you know who's behind me? If you dare to touch my store, you'll be in big trouble!"
A member of the student union stepped forward, looked him straight in the face without fear, and responded coldly: "No matter who is behind you, if you have any questions, go find President Merlin. This store must be closed today!" After saying that, his companion next to him quickly put the seal on it without any pause.
Their actions were swift and decisive, and no property of the nobles, aristocratic families or big businessmen was left out.
Even the stone house used as a gatekeeper in front of a noble's mansion was ruthlessly sealed off just because it occupied an inch of the Arcane Academy's land. Even the nest of a valuable hound raised in the yard was not spared and was sealed tightly.
Such a large-scale seizure operation instantly plunged the entire Upper Town and Midtown into chaos.
Amidst the chaos, many fugitives from the six empires and the federation who were hiding in the dark were alarmed. These people thought they were hiding very well, but at this moment they were frightened by the scene. They thought the enemy was coming for them, so they hurriedly packed their bags and prepared to flee.
On the streets, people stopped to watch, whispering to each other, and were full of curiosity.
"What's going on? Why did so many people suddenly appear and put up seals everywhere?" an old lady asked with a puzzled look on her face, pulling her granddaughter beside her.
"Grandma, I don't know either. It seems to be related to the Arcane Academy." The little girl answered, blinking her big eyes.
The crowd was talking one after another, but no one dared to get too close. They could only watch from afar as the people from the Arcane Academy majestically moved through the streets and alleys, carrying out this seizure operation that shocked the entire city.
Electrolux just felt comfortable all over. He had never felt so refreshed in his life. Looking back to the past, even when the Alves family was at its peak, they had to be cautious in their actions and never engaged in warfare so recklessly.
Those guys who had played tricks behind his back and caused his family to decline step by step, now faced with such a scene, they were all silent and dared not even fart.
The joy in Alex's heart was about to overflow, and he was so excited that even his breathing became rapid. The feeling of being proud made him once again certain that following Merlin wholeheartedly was definitely the best choice in his life.
As long as we hold on to the towering tree of Merlin and the power granted by the Arcane Academy, the future will be full of infinite possibilities, and the days of being forced to swallow our anger in the past will be gone forever.
At the same time, the nobles, aristocratic families and big businessmen who had just gathered in the secret room to discuss how to join forces to deal with Merlin were struck by lightning.
Upon hearing that all their properties in the Arcane City, from the luxurious mansions to the shops that made a fortune, and even the residences where they usually rested and enjoyed themselves, had been sealed up tightly, this shocking news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting them hard in the heart like a heavy hammer.
There were several old men who had lived a life of luxury and had never suffered such a blow. Their faces turned pale as paper, their legs went limp, and they fainted, as if they were simply unable to accept the cruel result of the collapse of their family business.
The rest of the people hurriedly sent messages for help to the forces behind them, their words full of anxiety and fear, hoping that they could come forward as soon as possible to resolve this catastrophic disaster, and preferably teach Merlin a severe and unforgettable lesson to relieve their hatred.
