Joseph stared intently into those pupils.
It's like they're watching...
A dragon that scorns life!
A chill ran down my spine for no apparent reason.
He quickly lowered his head.
At this moment, he finally managed to speak, albeit tremblingly.
"I...I'm so sorry..."
Joseph's voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet of the place, it resonated exceptionally well.
Everyone in Fairy Tail was stunned!
They looked at each other, bewildered, and even began to doubt their own hearing.
[Was this... really what Joseph said?]
[That Jose, who was just moments ago so arrogant, saying he'd completely annihilate Fairy Tail?]
Joseph continued speaking.
"Please...please...let me go...it's all because of a misunderstanding."
"If it weren't for Heartfilia, I would never have dared to offend Fairy Tail."
[A strong survival instinct compelled Joseph to utter these words, disregarding his pride.]
[He even forced himself to kneel down on the ground with great difficulty.]
His head was bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"The Phantom Lord is now a mere shell of its former self; shouldn't everything end here?"
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will never have any improper thoughts about Fairy Tail again."
"From this day forward, Fiore is number one, and that title belongs to you all!"
Joseph recounted the story with great emotion and passion.
"I...I'm a cripple now. I've lost my arm...I can't even keep the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints. This price...isn't it enough?"
He trembled, repeatedly begging for mercy.
At this moment, Honez finally spoke.
"Joseph, to be honest, you really have the potential to be a powerful and ruthless leader."
"To achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing; to survive, they will even kneel before the enemy."
"I...I've just realized the chasm-like gap between us," Joseph replied, his voice trembling.
"Actually, what you just said was correct," Henna said.
"If it was just an attack on Fairy Tail, then this price is indeed enough."
Joseph, with his head bowed, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
【Success! 】
[Honatsu seems to really be willing to let me go; his tactic of feigning weakness has worked!]
It seems that this Black Natsu, though seemingly ruthless, is...
[But in reality, he was still influenced by that old man Makarov.]
Is it filled with loving-kindness?
A fleeting, mocking smile played at the corners of his lips, but it vanished almost instantly.
Joseph composed himself, then his expression turned pained again.
Tears streamed down her face at that moment.
He raised his head, albeit tremblingly.
[While lifting it, he was muttering to himself.]
"Thank you... thank you... as expected, Fairy Tail truly deserves to be number one for Fiore."
"This magnanimity alone puts countless people to shame..."
Joseph's words froze on his lips.
He looked up, staring incredulously at Black Natsu, who had raised his arm and was pointing his palm at his head.
[His eyes narrowed instantly!]
"What...what are you going to do? Didn't we already agree on this?"
Joseph was horrified!
[Honatsu looked at Happy with a puzzled expression: "Did I say I was going to let him go?"]
[Harpy shook his head: "When did this happen? I've never heard of it."]
Joseph panicked and tried to stand up abruptly.
However, his injuries no longer allow him to make such strenuous movements.
The intense pain made his face even paler.
But still, she anxiously asked, "Didn't you just agree with what I said?"
"Does Fairy Tail, a name that should be respected, really go back on its word?"
Even Hyunaz shook his head.
"Don't try to provoke me like that."
"Also, what I just said only meant I agree; it doesn't mean I'm going to let you go."
Crimson light began to gather in Black Natsu's palm.
Extreme heat instantly spread out.
Henna's words then spread.
"Indeed, as punishment, this is enough, but as I said, someone like you is flexible and will do anything to survive."
"To put it another way, you're capable of anything for revenge. People without principles are often the most terrifying."

Henaz smiled: "So! I won't give you any chance for revenge, Jose!"
"If it really exists..."
"Then you'd better hope that God will resurrect you!"
"No, you probably won't see God again."
[Buzz...]
A crimson light began to emanate from the red dot in Black Natsu's palm.
[Until it completely blocked Joseph's view.]
"No...no..."
【"No!!!"】
[Boom boom boom ——————!!!]
That was a terrifying explosion that could shake the heavens!
The seawater churned once more.
However, this time it didn't last long, and things quickly returned to calm.
The explosion has dissipated.
The architectural fragments that had just carried Joseph before Hennaz had completely vanished.
Even nearby, there isn't a single piece of debris larger than a meter.
[Drifting with the ocean currents, it gradually floats into the distance.]
Hyunaz silently exhaled.
"It's finally over."
Harpy nodded in agreement: "We've been working non-stop for a whole day and night, haven't we?"
[Henazu laughed: "Who cares? The result is good, isn't it?"]
"Love!" Happy replied with a smile, then flew towards the shore with Black Natsu.
On the shore, the fairies had long since fallen silent.
Until Henna's return.
