[Adam C. POV]

The journey to Magnolia was swift, the familiar landscape a comforting balm to my senses. Yoruichi and Urahara followed closely behind me, their eyes taking in the bustling town with keen interest.

Upon our approach, the towering face of Fairy Tail's guild building greeted us. Its emblem, a representation of the family I'd been missing, evoked a wave of emotion. It was a symbol of resilience, unity, and, most importantly, home.

My steps quickened as the building's entrance neared, the comforting hum of familiar voices echoing from within. My heart swelled with anticipation.

I knew most of my family wasn't here, a part of me knew that, because I couldn't feel them, and because Mavis had used Fairy Sphere, but still, I was happy.

Without hesitation, I pushed open the guild's ornate doors, ready to be embraced by the warmth of my family, their loud behavior. But instead, the scene that met my eyes was far from the heartwarming reunion I'd expected.

In the center of the guild, a tall, somewhat fat man, with a scar running diagonally across his left cheek, held Macao by the throat, his feet barely touching the ground. The guild members, though visibly tense and angry, kept their distance, a sense of fear and hesitation palpable in the air.

"Where's the money, Macao?" the man sneered, his voice dripping with malevolence. "You've delayed long enough. Pay up now, or say goodbye to your precious guild building."

Macao, face reddening from the lack of air, managed to gasp out, "We need... more time."

The intruder's laughter was cold, void of any mirth. "Time's up."

My blood boiled.

This man dared threaten my family in our home?! No outsider had ever come into the guild and manhandled one of our own, and those that had dared… wish they hadn't.

"Hey!" I bellowed, channeling just enough power to make my presence known without causing harm to the guild members. "Put him down, or die."

The tall man turned to me, a smirk forming on his lips as he assessed the new player in this game. "And who might you be?"

Before I could kill the man, Yoruichi stepped forward, the air around her crackling with barely restrained energy, she was excited. "Does it matter? You're clearly in the wrong place, causing trouble."

He scoffed, his grip on Macao tightening. "Stay out of this, woman."

My patience snapped. "Last warning. Put. Him. Down."

The man's smirk widened as he threw Macao to the side, the guild master crumpling to the floor, gasping for breath. "Come on then," he taunted, gesturing for me to approach.

Urahara chuckled. "Well, this ought to be a fast event."

Snorting at Urahara's comment, I moved forward with a burst of speed, closing the distance between us, landing a swift punch on the man's jaw, sending him flying out of the guild through the ceiling.

"You didn't kill him," Yoruichi commented, her voice laced with disappointment.

I turned to face her, my chest heaving with anger. "Believe me, I wanted to. That being said, the legal repercussions to the Guild would've been way too much trouble for that piece of crap."

She chuckled. "Fair enough."

Macao, still on the ground, looked at me, his eyes going wide as a shaky smile spread across his face. "You… you're alive!"

A murmur went through the guild, a mixture of astonishment and relief.

"Adam?" a voice called out hesitantly from the back, soon followed by another and another. "Is that really you?"

The whispers grew louder, becoming a chorus of excitement and disbelief. Guild members began to converge, rushing towards me, their faces painted with joy and shock. Many couldn't believe their eyes, tears forming as they reached out, almost as if they needed to physically touch me to confirm my presence.

Macao pulled himself up with the assistance of Wakaba, visibly still catching his breath, he came forward and enveloped me in a tight hug, one I eagerly returned.

"It's good to have you back," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion as tears dropped down his face.

The guild hall, which a few moments ago had been filled with tension and apprehension, was now bustling with laughter, tears, and a multitude of emotions.

Urahara and Yoruichi watched the scene with smiles, leaning against a pillar. Yoruichi gave a wink in my direction, while Urahara simply tilted his hat, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

Among the crowd, a small kid, Macao's kid, Romeo rushed towards me, his big eyes filled with wonder. "Adam!" He cried out, flying straight into my arms. "I knew you guys would come back!"

"Where are the others?" Wakaba asked, his eyes scanning the room.

Right, for all they knew, everyone had disappeared during the last Trials.

"They aren't here," I replied, my voice heavy. That was a matter I needed to attend to, rescuing everyone from Mavis' spell.

Macao's face fell, his grip on my shoulder tightening. "What?! But... you came back! What happened to them?!"

"Don't worry, I will bring them back," I replied, before turning to the rest of the guild. "In the meantime, would you guys care to explain why you allowed such weaklings to bully our family?"

Macao turned white, his grip loosening as he stepped back, his eyes filled with shame. "We... I thought that it would be best to avoid violence until the others came back..."

I took a step forward, smiling at him in a dark way. "Let me rephrase that question. Why was that bug here?"

Macao gulped. "He... he lend us some money to continue our operations."

I blinked. "But... why? I had more than enough money in my account to keep the guild floating for a while, and that's me alone, and that's with my account alone, imagine if you had tapped into everyone else's accounts."

Macao gulped again, sweat beading on his forehead. "Now that you mention it, it's funny really… because we used the money in your Guild Accounts, all of it."

HE DID WHAT?!

I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO RETIRE 20 TIMES OVER THERE!

I will kill him.

"You did what?!" I asked, a vein popping in my head. "And how?! I had millions saved up!"

"I will raise Romeo in your stead, don't worry Macao," Wakaba said with a grin, patting the kid on the shoulder.

"I used the money to try and rescue you guys!" Macao said, taking a few steps back. "We hired the best of the best, but... nothing worked, I swear!"

I clenched my fists, before letting out a sigh. At least he had used the money for something good. "You're lucky I have another account with the Royal Bank."

Macao sighed in relief.

"Now, before we celebrate, I need a detailed report of what has happened since my disappearance."
