75: Angry Charlie

Just as Linlin was about to leave, she turned around and bumped into a waiter carrying dishes. Instantly, the food spilled all over the floor, and the plates shattered, the noise startling the two people inside the room.

"It's you, Linlin, what are you doing here?" Charlie opened the door, and seeing Linlin, a look of surprise appeared on his face as he said with a smile.

"Ahaha, I came here to play, hehehe! Oh, why are you here? I thought you were dead?" Linlin said guiltily.

"God didn't let me die; He let me come back to eliminate Wei He. Linlin, I received news that Wei He will be arriving here soon. Join me in slaying the bandit leader!" Charlie's eyes revealed a ruthless glint, scaring Linlin into a daze.

"Alright, General Charlie, I'll take my male companion back first, then I'll come back here to meet up with you!" Linlin said with a slight tremor in her voice, then returned to her private room.

"This Linlin really hasn't changed at all!" Charlie shook his head slightly, then turned and went back into his private room.

As soon as Charlie closed the door, Linlin peeked out. Seeing that they had both gone in, she quickly ran downstairs.

As Linlin reached the entrance, she bumped into someone. Just as she was about to curse, she looked closely and saw that it was Wei He.

"Wei He, you're really here! You arrived so quickly!" Linlin said with a panicked expression.

"Ah, how did you know I was coming? Did Rune tell you?" Wei He said happily, seeing Linlin's adorable appearance.

"No, come with me, it's Charlie! He's also in this restaurant, and he's specifically looking for you. Run away quickly!" Linlin said, pulling Wei He as they walked.

"Too late, Linlin, I didn't expect you to betray the Magic Empire and consort with this bandit leader. I originally thought you were just promiscuous, which isn't a big deal, but colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, that's a capital offense!" Just as Linlin pulled Wei He out of the main door, Charlie had already appeared in the lobby at some unknown point, speaking sternly to Linlin.

"That's not true! Wei He is now the lord of the Magic Empire, an official appointed by His Majesty himself, not a bandit leader anymore! How could I be colluding with the enemy and betraying the country? Hmph!" Linlin said proudly, having long heard from Xie Yanwen that Wei He had been recruited to be an official in the capital.

"No matter what, today is Wei He's death day! Give me your life!" As soon as Charlie finished speaking, a fiery Magic Array condensed in front of him.

"Alas, I'm already a lord now. According to official ranks, my level is even higher than yours was initially. Aren't you defying a superior?" Wei He said calmly, pointing at Charlie. At the same time, he had already commanded Huang Yichen, Xie Yanwen, and the Bozi Youning through the system to rush to the Kuaihuolin Restaurant.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today, not only losing my official position but also being unable to return to the Magic Empire forever! Don't you deserve to die!" As Charlie spoke, a pillar of fire shot out from the fiery Magic Array, striking towards Wei He.

Seeing Charlie launch his attack, Linlin immediately activated her Magic Shield, blocking in front of Wei He. At the same time, a white Magic Array condensed in front of her, from which white beams of light shot out, colliding with the pillar of fire. Instantly, the shockwave from the energy collision blew open the main door of the Kuaihuolin Restaurant.

Both Charlie and Linlin were pushed back several steps by the shockwave. Linlin happened to fall into Wei He's arms, and Wei He's little face instantly turned red, while Linlin didn't mind it at all. After standing up, she was still concerned about Wei He.

"No one revoked your official position, and besides, you're alive now, why can't you go back!" Wei He couldn't understand Charlie's logic, and said sullenly with a flushed face.

"You wouldn't understand. And you, you've actually upgraded to the Intermediate Magician level. In such a short time, that's truly incredible!" Charlie said, pointing at Linlin. After all, when Charlie left Riquan City, Linlin was only a Beginner Magician. It hadn't been long, and she was already an Intermediate Magician.

"This is all thanks to Wei He. Otherwise, you should ask him for help too, and maybe you can become a High-level Magician!" Linlin's cheerful voice made Wei He excited again.

"I'd rather die than let him help me. Even if you've reached the Intermediate Magician level, you're still no match for me!" Charlie's Magic Array glowed red, and waves of fireballs shot out from it.

"Run!" After saying this, Linlin pushed Wei He away, raising her Magic Array and firing lasers to counter-attack. In an instant, the entire street was ablaze, and the fire quickly engulfed the entire Kuaihuolin Restaurant.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Linlin was already an Intermediate Magician. Even if she wasn't Charlie's match, Charlie couldn't harm her in a short time. So, she immediately fled towards Lin Mansion.

"Catch him!" As Charlie's voice fell, a group of soldiers in dark armor emerged from both sides of the street, chasing after Wei He. They were actually Demon Soldiers of the Demon Race, while Linlin and Charlie were still engaged in a magic duel.

Wei He ran, dodging the Demon Soldiers' pursuit and slashes. His meager abilities were no match for these Demon Soldiers; he could only frantically flee and evade.

Wei He had just turned the street corner and saw Neme buying snacks at a street stall. Without much thought, he ran and shouted, "Great General, help!"

Neme, hearing the sound, turned her head and saw it was Wei He. She instinctively thought he had caused trouble again and didn't want to bother with him, thinking he could just die there. However, seeing that it was Demon Soldiers chasing him, her beautiful eyes gradually widened until they were perfectly round.

"Have these demons already reached here?" Neme casually flicked out two wind blades, striking at the Demon Soldiers behind Wei He.

Wei He rolled to the ground, under a nearby stall. The two wind blades directly cut the Demon Soldiers in half. The remaining Demon Soldiers still wanted to continue their attack, but a white Magic Array condensed in front of Neme, from which a gust of strong wind blew out, carrying countless wind blades towards the Demon Soldiers.

It was too late for the Demon Soldiers to run. After the strong wind swept through and the calm returned, only fragments of Demon Soldier corpses remained on the street.

At this moment, Wei He also arrived behind Neme, panting, and said, "Thank you, Great General, for saving my life!"

"Hmph, who said I was saving you!" Neme looked at Wei He's disheveled appearance and chuckled triumphantly, "Isn't that Lord Leader? How can you not even deal with a few low-level Demon Soldiers? I didn't expect the mighty Lord Leader to be such a good-for-nothing!"

"Hahahahaha, Lord Leader's escape ability is still unmatched, hahahaha!" Carlos, who had appeared behind Wei He at some point, sneered mockingly.

"Hmph, with a great enemy before us, are you going to start infighting?" As soon as Wei He finished speaking, Huang Yichen arrived with Xie Yanwen and a group of Bozi Youning.

"You all quickly go to the Kuaihuolin Restaurant and help Linlin capture the Demon Race's Great General Charlie. Remember to take him alive!" Wei He deliberately emphasized his words when he mentioned "Demon Race Charlie."

"Understood, Commander!" After replying to Wei He, the group quickly rushed towards the street corner.

"What? What did you say? Demon Race Charlie? What does that mean?" Carlos asked with a shocked expression, his eyebrows twitching continuously.

Neme looked at Wei He with a questioning expression, hoping he would explain.
