"What!"
The entire square erupted.
Many fishmen suddenly took a step back and stared at Suye in terror.
A few fishmen were so frightened that their bodies went limp. Their eyes rolled back, and they actually fainted, exposing their pale, plump bellies.
Shark froze for a moment, a strange glint flashing through his eyes.
Suye glanced at Hamorro. Mentioning Thales in Whale Kingdom indeed carried tremendous weight.
Thales had once visited Whale Kingdom and had advanced to the Legendary realm there.
Thales had a famous nickname in Whale Kingdom: the Sea Race Butcher.
He had killed countless members of the sea races back then. It was said that while he was still in the Holy Domain, a large fishman tribe had hunted him down. After advancing to the Legendary realm, he had returned alone and slaughtered not only that hundred-thousand-strong fishman tribe, but also every tribe connected to it. Even the sea demons that had been enemies of that fishman tribe had failed to escape his murderous hand.

Hamorro had brought this up in the hope that Shark would spare Suye for Thales's sake.
Everyone looked at Shark.

"Does it count if he praised me?" Suye recalled Thales's assessment of him in the Magic Council.
The entire square erupted in waves of cries.
The most astonished were not the fishmen, but the human mages and
