Racer, who had been woken up, had a sullen and scared expression on his face and he thought that the richest man on the continent was even worse than the leader of his guild.
Cobra also didn't say anything since he also felt the same as Racer.
However, when they thought that this guy dared to bomb his own villa to kill both of them, they felt that there was nothing that he dared not to do, but what was scariest was that he wasn't a criminal nor he was an evil magician, but he was the richest man who was being seen as a saint in the eyes of public.
Cobra and Racer knew that once they dared to do something that betrayed him, then without hesitation, the curse on their bodies would start. They weren't sure what kind of curse it was, but they didn't dare to try it.
Bourne brought both Cobra and Racer to his headquarters first before he asked them about Oracion Seis. He had a feeling that the members of Oracion Seis were nearby and once Cobra and Racer gave them a signal, they would start to move.
When Cobra and Racer entered Bourne's headquarters, they were shocked when they saw one person there.
"Angel!?" 2x
Sorano, Ur, Ultear, and Meredy had already been waiting for Bourne and quickly came to him when they saw him had come back.
"Did you get hurt?" Ultear asked.
"No." Bourne shook his head and said, "They're too weak to do so."
".........."
Cobra and Racer, who heard Bourne's words, twitched their lips, but they didn't say anything since they were too weak after all.
Racer was being frozen directly, but Cobra's poison was useless on Bourne.
"It's been a while, Racer, Cobra," Sorano said with a smile. Somehow, she felt a bit nostalgic when she saw both Racer and Cobra.
"....You're not killed?" Racer asked in confusion.
"Of course not, I have been living with him after all," Sorano said with a smile and hugged Bourne's arm happily.
"........."
Racer and Cobra twitched their lips and sighed. Looking at the man who defeated them, they knew what kind of relationship that both Sorano and Bourne had.
Bourne patted Sorano's head then looked at Cobra and Racer before asking, "Is your boss nearby?"
Cobra raised his eyebrow and asked, "You're going to attack our boss directly?"
"Yeah."
Bourne nodded.
Cobra snorted and said, "He isn't an opponent that you can defeat!"
Cobra's words caused the people in this hall to frown, since they knew very well about Bourne's power.
"Why not?" Bourne asked. He didn't seem offended by Cobra's words since it was normal for him to be underestimated since it was very rare for him to release his magic power.
Usually a magician would see whether someone strong or not based on the quantity of magic power on someone. If someone had a huge magic power then without doubt that person was very strong.
However, Bourne didn't have a fluctation of magic power since he often hid it so it was normal for Cobra to underestimate him.
Then Bourne released his magic and caused the temperature to slightly drop, but at the same time, it gave the people in this hall a very comfortable feeling at the first time, however, the more they felt this magic power, the more they realized how tiny they were.
In their minds, they felt that they were just a single drop of water in the ocean which caused them to feel scared at how small they were.
However, for Ur, Ultear, Meredy, Juvia, Ikaruga, and Sorano, they felt that they were being wrapped by gentle arms, protecting them, caressing them gently which somehow made them blush.
In the past few years, Bourne had always tried to connect himself to the ocean in this world which caused his magic power to increase tremendously. It wasn't perfect, but once he had perfected it, he could control the ocean itself in the future and he wouldn't die no matter what since the damage which he received would be transferred to the ocean.
However, in the progress of his training, Bourne had reached a bottleneck and thought to fight someone very strong so he could grow even stronger.
Then Bourne suppressed his magic power again and made the hall quiet in a single moment. He had this light smile on his face and stared at Cobra.
"So who do you think is stronger? Your previous boss or your new boss?"
"........"
Cold sweat dripped from Cobra's entire body and he felt that his sweat couldn't be controlled, kept dripping, and he might die from dehydration if this continued, but Bourne's hand reached him and made him able to return back.
"........"
Cobra was very scared at this moment, the feeling of being killed slowly by losing the water on his body slowly wasn't fun experience at all.
"I have heard the name of your boss is "Brain". I am sure that it is also an alias, but I don't care his real name, and what you need to do is to bring me to him so I can defeat him and let you know that you have chose the right, boss."
Cobra felt that his shoulder was patted which made him nod. He took a deep breath and said, "He's close, but you should bring someone just in case, boss." He looked at Bourne and said, "Brain isn't someone that you should understimated."
"I will go with you, Bourne," Ur said. She had seen how Gajeel, Totomaru, and Sol were defeated and she didn't feel that it was alright for him to bring either Vidaldus or Fukuro with him since she was quite worried about his safety even though she knew how powerful he was since in her eyes, he had always been her dearest person.
Bourne nodded and said, "Alright." He looked at Sorano and said, "Sorano, I know that you're tired, but I hope that you can come with me so you can help me invite both Midnight and Hoteye to work under me."
"Leave it to me," Sorano said with a smile.
"I will go with you too, Bourne-sama!" Juvia said.
"Me too!" Ikaruga also didn't want to lose.
"Then I will wait at home." Ultear smiled and kissed Bourne's forehead. "This is for good luck." She wanted to kiss his lips, but somehow, it was too embrassing to do it right in front of the public.
Bourne wondered why it felt like he had raised a "bad flag" or something when he received this kiss.
"What's wrong?" Ultear asked in confusion when she saw him caressing his forehead.
"No." Bourne shook his head and said, "I just feel disappointed that you don't kiss my lips, though."
Ultear blushed and hit this guy's chest. "Wh - When you return then we can do more...."
Bourne didn't hesitate anymore and quickly said to everyone, "Alright! Let's go! Let's defeat this dark guild so the continent will be in peace!"
"........."
"What's your answer?" Bourne quickly said when he saw everyone had turned quiet.
"Oh... Ohh...."
Somehow they had mixed feelings about this battle.
