What Happened That Day

The Mary Geoise joint conference was still underway.

But with that person gone, every topic somehow seemed dull and meaningless.

Yes, the Four Great Families had already suffered a crushing defeat on the most critical issue. What was there to discuss over a few trivial matters?

To be honest, if not for the sake of appearances, they would have wanted to get up and go home as well.

"Have the servants carry the bodies out."

Lightly rubbing the space between his brows, Tier Anglaus spoke flatly.

Just as before, his narrow eyes remained half-closed, and he was still dressed in a crisp black suit.

But a closer look would reveal that the Anglaus Family's heir seemed to have aged more than ten years. His narrow eyes could no longer hide the defeat and exhaustion within them.

Yet he did not care, allowing that feeling to torment him little by little.

Tier Anglaus resolved to remember today's lesson and never make the same mistake again!

"Return to your seats. The meeting will continue."

Their dignity was already gone, but they could not simply abandon all pretense.

Picking up where Tier Anglaus had left off, the Figor Family's representative added a warning for the lower-ranking Celestial Dragon nobles below, who were still shaken to the core.

His meaning was obvious: I'm in a bad mood right now, so all of you had better behave yourselves!

"Yes."

Meekly answering in unison, the Celestial Dragon nobles, like a flock of quails, stepped over the bodies of those unlucky bastards and obediently returned to their places.

They could not afford to offend the Yatogami Family's killing star, and they could not afford to offend the Four Great Families either. Before commoners, they were masters; before the Four Great Families, they were mere grandsons.

Sigh, life
