The vast magic-powered airship lurched violently when Hades lost focus, causing the controls to stall for a moment.
The disturbance shattered the deathly silence in the hall, jolting everyone from their daze.
After exchanging glances, disbelief filled many of their faces.
Everyone present was part of Grimoire Heart's core ranks.
They were also true elites among the dark guilds.
Each of them possessed strength no weaker than that of an S-Class wizard.
Aside from Hades, the president of Grimoire Heart, the second-ranked member was Vice President Bluenote, who wielded Gravity Magic.
As for Ultear, who had suddenly claimed that she had wagered herself away, she ranked third within Grimoire Heart.
She was also the leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.
The Lost Magic she possessed, Arc of Time, was one of Grimoire Heart's greatest trump cards.
Yet now, she had come up with such a clumsy excuse, claiming that she, the mighty third seat of Grimoire Heart, had lost herself in a wager.
Did that mean that if any of the other members went after her, they would meet the same fate?
What was more, in their eyes, Ultear, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, had been personally raised by President Hades.
The trust he placed in her far exceeded that which he had in the other members.
And now, she had suddenly brought back such news.
It was enough to make anyone lose their composure.
Countless chaotic thoughts flashed through their minds. They were extremely curious about what had happened to Ultear.
However, in this situation, the final decision still rested with Hades, their president.
"You insolent Ultear! This is outright rebellion! How dare she speak to me like that? Does she truly think I would not destroy her?"
Hades's expression darkened as he roared in fury.
