Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys, Taking Control

The atmosphere was a little quiet!

Leader Tang's expression did not change much.

He had probably anticipated that their side would take the initiative to cause trouble, so he had come prepared. That was only natural.

Earl Raeven observed the people across from him with his pair of narrow emerald eyes. The index fingers of his hands resting on the table lightly touched and rubbed against each other.

It was a small habitual movement he made whenever he was thinking.

"Since the Kingdom's citizens began relocating to the Abelion Hills, everything has proceeded relatively smoothly so far. No major disturbances have occurred."

"It is inevitable that Leader Tang deserves credit for this."

Earl Raeven thought to himself, though a trace of dissatisfaction and gravity remained in his eyes. "But Leader Tang has only appeared now."

"This cannot be explained away by being too busy or having no time. He may already have ambitions beyond being an adventurer—ambitions to compete for the nation's power."

Heh heh~

No matter how foolish the other nobles were, they could vaguely sense this much.

After all, creatures like nobles possessed an instinctively sharp sense of smell. They could detect any outsider who might touch upon their power and Glory.

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

Tang Zheng did not respond to or refute Earl Urovana's words. "A massive number of the Kingdom's people are continuously relocating to the Abelion Hills. There are too many matters that need to be managed and handled."

"Although the Demi-Humans can assist, humans are naturally wary of Demi-Humans. Many matters still need to be handled by us humans ourselves."

Tang Zheng paused here, his gaze lightly sweeping over the six great nobles present. "With so many relocated citizens, someone still needs to be able to make decisions."

In an instant!
