Chapter 527: Fairy Tail’s Exclusive Vehicle
Before Makarov could have a full-blown heart attack, Lahar gave a small signal to the subordinate on his right.
The man promptly stepped forward, placed a small paper packet on the counter, and stepped back.
Seeing the confused looks from everyone, Lahar explained, "This is from the New Magic Council. A reward of five million jewel for apprehending the fugitive Erigor."
"Woooow~" Lisanna gasped softly in awe. But after thinking about the strength of her sister and brother-in-law, it didn’t seem that surprising.
Makarov finally exhaled in relief. "Ah... so it was a good deed after all. That’s more like it, that’s more like it."
He carefully opened the paper packet. Inside were five neat bundles of 10,000-jewel notes, each bundle stacked with exactly a hundred bills.
Mira took charge of counting the money while Rhodes calmly stepped forward to sign the receipt.
Once the transaction was complete and properly recorded, Lahar finally got to the main reason for his visit: the mysterious disappearance of Magnolia.
Makarov found the idea of explaining the entire situation from start to finish incredibly tedious, so he passed the responsibility directly onto Rhodes with a grin and a slap on the back.
Left with no choice, Rhodes gave a quick and summarized explanation of the Anima Plan, how Edolas had attempted to absorb Magnolia into their own world, their eventual return, and the fates of the former king and his high-ranking ministers.
When Lahar heard that the dangerous individuals from Edolas had merely been imprisoned by the new king, he frowned slightly, feeling it was a bit too lenient, but he didn’t voice the thought aloud.
After all, Fairy Tail had saved the entire city of Magnolia, while the Council hadn’t even known what was going on. Speaking out of turn now would only put him in an awkward position, or worse, get him kicked out of town.
