Bourne's mood was very bad at this moment. He sat down on his seat abruptly and then took out a cigarette from the pocket of his suit, but then he didn't find a lighter and when he was about to use his magic...

"Bourne-sama..." Ikaruga prepared Bourne a lighter.

"Thank you," Bourne said and lit up his cigarette before inhaling the smoke into his lungs. He felt slightly better, but he wanted to go home as soon as possible at this moment to calm his mind, but he then realized something and looked at Ikaruga, Juvia, and Sorano who were looking at him worriedly.

"Sorry to scare you before, but I can't control my emotions before." Bourne felt a bit guilty, trying to scare them.

However, in the eyes of three women, they felt that they were looking at a wounded lion.

Bourne's body was full of scars, not on his body, but on his heart.

"Bourne, you alright?" Sorano held Bourne's hand and couldn't bear this expression on his.

"Bourne-sama!" Ikaruga quickly hugged Bourne.

Juvia also didn't lose and hugged Bourne's waist.

"..."

Bourne blinked his eyes, before chuckled at the reaction of the three of them.

When they saw him chuckle, they weren't sure, but they felt that their hearts were healed.

"I am alright, you don't need to worry."

Bourne sighed and felt that the existence of three women in front of him might have changed in his heart at this moment.

"Bourne-sama, what you have said before is true?" Juvia asked.

Bourne looked at the three of them and asked, "Do you want to hear my past?"

Ikaruga, Sorano, and Juvia nodded without hesitation.

Bourne looked at the expression of three women and said, "Once I have told you about this then there's no way that I will let you go and you'll be beside me until your death."

"....."

However, Bourne didn't expect that the three of them would blush when he said those words.

"Is that a marriage proposal?" Ikaruga asked with a blush.

Sorano and Juvia looked at Bourne in excitement.

"...."

'But...'

Bourne felt that wasn't a bad idea.

At the headquarters of the Magic Council, ten councils gathered together, talking about what had happened during the meeting of guildmasters.

Among the ten people, there were two familiar people and those people were both Simon and Jellal.

After Simon and Jellal had escaped from the Tower of Heaven, both of them went to the Magic Council and quickly became members of councils.

"Well, Lullaby has been defeated, we don't need to worry too much about it," Yuri said.

"Yeah, but the problem is that we need to say that the Fairy Tail has become an enemy of Mr. Walter," Belno said.

"What are we waiting for? Isn't it a good chance for us to disband Fairy Tail right away? With Mr. Walter as our support then what are we worried about?" Michello said.

Everyone knew that the richest man on the continent wasn't only powerful in terms of economics, but his strength was also very powerful since he was the one who had defeated Lullaby.

In the past few years, Bourne had a lot of achievements and the most eye-catching amount of Zerf's Cult that had been destroyed by him.

A lot of people wanted to make him into a council member of the Magic Council, but Bourne rejected it, saying that he was too busy with his business and he was afraid to neglect his duty as a member of Magic Council.

However, in truth, Bourne was just too lazy since he could control the Magic Council without even joining the organization. It could be said that he was the boss of Magic Council behind the scenes since the majority of councils were being controlled by him.

"How can Fairy Tail become Mr. Walter's enemy?" Simon asked in shock.

Even Jellal frowned.

Both of them knew Bourne's power and knew that once Fairy Tail became an enemy of Bourne then the fate of that guild was only destruction!

Both of them felt worried about Erza, but when they heard the next report, they sighed in relief.

"It's not the Fairy Tail, but Gray Fullbuster, the member of Fairy Tail," Yajima said to correct everyone.

"What's the difference? Fairy Tail is destroying our order! We need to punish them no matter what!" Michello said in full vigor since he hated Fairy Tail.

"I agree."

Leiji pushed the frame of his sunglasses and said, "Especially this Gray Fullbuster is also the enemy of Mr. Walter, what are we waiting for? Just put him in jail."

In the eyes of the Magic Council, Gray Fullbuster was only a small magician and they didn't care too much about him.

Simon and Gray also didn't say anything in this matter. They didn't care about Fairy Tail since what they were cared about was Erza Scarlet.

"What is Mr. Walter's wish?" Crawford suddenly asked while looking at Yajima since he knew the relationship between Yajima and Bourne was quite good.

"Just let it go," Yajima said.

"...."

"Is that all?" Crawford raised his eyebrow.

Everyone was also quite surprised.

Yajima nodded and said, "I have talked with him after that incident and he has said of letting them go." When the matter of the fight between Bourne and Fairy Tail entered his ears he quickly pleaded and came to Bourne asking him to forgive his old friend, Makarov. If Makarov could give up Gray at that time, then it didn't really matter, but Makarov was so hard headed and he couldn't persuade Makarov.

However, Yajima also understood Makarov's persistence.

If Makarov gave up then Fairy Tail wasn't a Fairy Tail.

However, Yajima knew if Bourne wanted to destroy Fairy Tail, Bourne could do it anytime by taking out the license to operate a Legal Guild, stopping all the quests to Fairy Tail, or even sending the Evil Magicians to destroy Fairy Tail secretly.

There were a lot of ways, but Bourne only said to let them go which caused Yajima to sigh in relief since Yajima knew that Bourne's power had reached the level of God Serena, the strongest magician on Ten Saint Wizards.

"But why? Shouldn't Mr. Walter be going to support us in disbanding Fairy Tail?" Michello asked with a frown.

"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Walter has a close relationship with one of the girls in Fairy Tail," Simon said after he sometimes visited Bourne's house to say thank you to him.

Jellal didn't say much since he knew the girl who was close with Bourne wasn't Erza.

"OH..."

The male members of the councils nodded and thought that the Fairy Tail was being saved by a woman which made them lament Fairy Tail's luck.

"Is that so?" Crawford nodded and said, "Then we don't need to make this matter troublesome."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

"However, we need to punish Fairy Tail somehow." Crawford tapped his fat chin and said, "That guild has caused a lot of trouble last time. They have destroyed a town and sooner or later, they might destroy two or three towns or even the whole kingdom if we let them do as they please."

"....."

They twitched their lips at the same time.

"Isn't it easy just to disband them?" Michello quickly said.

"The power of Dark Magicians keeps growing, especially as the Balam Alliance keeps increasing its members. Once we have erased the qualifications of Fairy Tail as the Legal Guild then it is going to hurt us," Simon said.

Their expressions turned ugly, but they also agreed with Simon's point.

"That's true, we shouldn't be moved by our emotions in this matter." Org looked at everyone and said, "It won't be too late to move on Fairy Tail once we have destroyed the Balam Alliance after all."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

"But we can't show a weakness." Crawford smiled and said, "We need to show our muscle to the continent and punish at least one person, right?"

There was no hesitation and they agreed that they should punish Fairy Tail without hesitation.
