Chapter 22

C22 – This Is My Welcome Party

Choo Qin’s abrupt declaration left everyone bewildered.

Though the reason behind Zhen Qiuqiu’s miraculous recovery was unknown, they were in the Rain Listening Pavilion, a haven for the elite. Surely, he wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble in such a place?

But in the next instant, the sudden appearance of a wall of fire and the gradual increase in temperature took the nobles by surprise.

“He’s a mage!”

“Guards! Guards! We’re in the Rain Listening Pavilion!”

Chaos erupted throughout the hall, with everyone’s eyes wide in shock.

It wasn’t so much that Choo Qin was a mage that surprised them—aside from a select few at the top, most had never even seen him before.

What truly astonished them was the audacity of someone making a move in Long Song City.

This was utterly unexpected.

After all, Long Song City might not be large, but it was still a county seat! Setting aside the Mage Guild, the Earl Mansion alone boasted nearly a hundred mages!

Moreover, the use of such wide-ranging spells was strictly forbidden within the city, especially against nobility. Had Choo Qin lost his mind?

“Hmph! The prince has quite the nerve! I wondered where your confidence came from. Turns out, you’re just a minor mage.”

Jiaang Guangran let out a cold snort.

The shadows cast by Choo Qin during their youth in the Imperial City suddenly resurfaced.

But alas.

Choo Qin’s gaze remained untouched, without a hint of fear.

“Oh?”

“You’re sure you want to teach me how to be human?”

“Today is my welcome party! Don’t think I’m oblivious to the schemes of you nobles!”

“Trying to intimidate me? Preach about the laws of noble interests? Haha, forget my royal status for a moment; even your father would have to greet me with respect!”

“However, today I don’t wish to leverage my title over you. In fact, let me be clear: I’m here to rob you blind!”

A smirk played on Choo Qin’s lips. He had been somewhat cautious before arriving in Long Song City, uncertain of his own strength.

But after his exchange with Van Wan at the Mage Guild, he realized that as a Sorcerer, he was among the elite combatants in Long Song City!

Having been here for some time, he hadn’t encountered anyone who could match him. The Rain Listening Pavilion didn’t seem all that formidable either.

Choo Qin knew one thing for certain.

As a top combatant,

it was time for action, not words!
