Holy shit... with this Charle's prediction comes true... Makarov is definitely a gonner. Heck... for a moment I expected him to shout at Laxus to take care of them.

If Makarov dies... it would be the best opportunity for Iwan to make his move... and with Makarov dead... no one will know Gajeel was a double-agent when Iwan calls him forward.
