"Well... thank you! Nirvana has been destroyed. I can rest."
"It wasn't difficult. Chen Fan did most of it. We didn't help much," Erza said honestly.
"Whatever it is, it's good that you're safe," Makarov said.
"One more thing." Makarov jumped up. "Today we're having a party! A welcome party for Wendy and Carla!"
"Oh...!" Everyone was excited.
"More excited!" Makarov yelled.
"Oh... so excited!" They started singing and dancing. Erza smiled, postponing her intention to report to Makarov about the New Magic Council targeting Chen Fan. 'I'll do it later,' she thought, then joined the party.
"It's a fun place, isn't it, Carla?" Wendy said.
"I don't think so."
Chen Fan saw Mystogan on the second floor and raised his glass. Mystogan nodded, then disappeared.
As the party reached its peak, a group of people entered.
"Who are they...!" They were shocked.
"Don't move. We are from the New Magic Council," Lahar said.
The Fairy Tail members looked at Makarov. If Makarov ordered an attack, they would do it. Makarov looked at them. "New Magic Council, why are you here? I don't think I've offended you this time!" Makarov, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, had a presence.
"We are here to arrest a criminal."
"A criminal? There are none here," Makarov said.
"According to an informant, Chen Fan, 'God Hand', bribed Magic Council members to control the Council. He deceived the public and resisted arrest," Lahar read.
"Resisted arrest?" They looked at Chen Fan.
"That's not resisting! That's self-defense! Self-defense!" Chen Fan said.
"That's resisting!"
"Self-defense!"
The two of them argued. "Alright, I don't want to argue. I'll go with you. You guys continue the party!" Chen Fan said to the guild members, then followed Lahar.
Two people came to handcuff him. Chen Fan didn't resist, but the handcuffs touched him and fell off. "You!" Lahar pointed at Chen Fan.
"Don't blame me. You still dare to point at me? Not afraid your finger will break? I'm the worst criminal. I have a lot of lice, they don't itch."
"Chen Fan...!" They stared at him.
"It's okay, everyone..." Chen Fan was moved.
But a group of people cheered, "Yes! Finally arrested! He should be in prison!"
"Yes! I can't drink peacefully when he's around!"
"Yes! He's annoying. He meddles in everything!"
"Serves him right! Finally going to jail!"
"What's happening?" Wendy was confused. The Magic Council was like the Supreme Court. Who wouldn't be proud to be summoned?
"Haha, it's nothing. If it were anyone else, we'd be worried. But Chen Fan, don't worry. If there's anyone to worry about, it's the Magic Council. Don't mess with this guy," Macao said.
"Yeah!" Wakaba nodded.
"But, it's the Magic Council. What if..."
"There's no 'what if'. If they don't release him, we'll destroy the Magic Council again," Mira suddenly said with a smile. Everyone was shocked, feeling the murderous intent from that smile.
Chen Fan looked at his ungrateful friends, then followed Lahar with a regretful expression. Lahar patted his shoulder.
"President, what do we do? The New Magic Council is targeting Chen Fan," Erza said.
Makarov thought. "Don't worry. Chen Fan will handle it. When has he ever lost? What Mira said is right. If the New Magic Council doesn't know the situation, I don't mind causing trouble for them."
