Yet what had to be said still had to be said, and Tesoro felt he had to pull out his backing to make the other party back down in the face of difficulties.
"Lord Figarland, the Celestial Dragon behind me holds quite a high status... If you insist on doing this, then please have Lord Figarland communicate with that adult."
It was as if Tesoro was saying that the Celestial Dragon affiliated with him was fierce and powerful, and he even had a subordinate take out an exquisite Den Den Mushi.
He had no choice; he could only let the Celestial Dragon behind him step forward to deter the reckless Lynn and make him back down.
"Interesting, starting a video call directly. Fine, don'Golden Divine Punishment say I didn'Golden Divine Punishment give you a chance."
Watching Tesoro's actions, Lynn could not help but smile and said composedly.
Thus, under the eyes of the terrified surrounding spectators, Tesoro gritted his teeth and dialed directly, praying in his heart that the Celestial Dragon would definitely answer.
Sure enough, very quickly, the opposite end answered the Den Den Mushi, and a Celestial Dragon without a hood, with his background in a luxury room, appeared on the screen.
This was an older Celestial Dragon with a spiky hairstyle. His face already looked to be in middle or old age, and he had a rather majestic appearance.
Lynn felt that he seemed to have seen this fellow somewhere before, but what was certain was that this person was one of the Roswald Family's group.
At this moment, the perspective on the opposite side only saw Tesoro.
"Saint Charloss!"
"State a reason for calling me."
Saint Charloss was somewhat displeased. He did not like Tesoro contacting him proactively; after all, there were many interests tangled between the two of them, and it was not as simple as just an affiliated country.
"Saint Charloss, it's like this. A young Celestial Dragon came to Gran Tesoro and said he wants to become his affiliated country... This?"
Tesoro reported truthfully, and the word "young" was used just at the right time.
It could be considered conveying a hidden meaning to Saint Charloss.
"Snatching my affiliated country? Which Celestial Dragon is so bold?"
Saint Charloss's expression suddenly changed, and he said with great displeasure and arrogance. Gran Tesoro was his cash cow, after all.
His influence was vast; even other high-ranking Celestial Dragons would not be this ignorant of the rules to snatch it away, let whose descendant was it?
"Let him come up and speak with me."
Saint Charloss roared angrily.
A wave of joy bloomed in Tesoro's heart as he secretly glanced at Lynn, thinking to himself that let's see what you do now.
He then turned the lens of the Den Den Mushi toward Lynn.
Saint Charloss had been puffing out his cheeks and glaring at first, wanting to scold him a bit, but the moment he saw Lynn standing there with a cold expression,
all his expressions instantly froze, and his wide-open mouth immediately became unable to utter a word.
Watching Saint Charloss's facial expressions on the screen, Tesoro and the others immediately had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Saint Charloss? I remember now, it's you."
Lynn had been pondering what kind of character this Celestial Dragon was just now and hadn'Golden Divine Punishment even listened to his earlier arrogance.
Wasn'Golden Divine Punishment Saint Charloss the Celestial Dragon who destroyed Sabo's small boat? He was already middle-aged back then, no wonder he looked a bit old now.
Moreover, this fellow seemed to have been present when the score was being settled with Roswald in the Holy Land. Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment have much of an impression, as there had been quite a lot of Celestial Dragons at the time.
"It's... it's Lord Figarland... Hello..."
He changed. Saint Charloss changed his face, instantly turning humble, with his tone carrying a trace of ingratiation.
Damn it, why did this baneful star go to Gran Tesoro?! He was going to be in big trouble!
The Gorosei of the Highest Authority had long since notified the entire Holy Land. Right now, Lynn was one of the most noble Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, and he was also a ferocious fellow who would beat Roswald's son half to death on a whim without even daring to let out a fart!
How could Saint Charloss dare to provoke Lynn, let alone the fact that Lynn possessed the power to seize affiliated countries? He was the only Celestial Dragon in the entire Holy Land who possessed this special power!
"Do you have an objection? If you do, I can go back to the Holy Land and we can have a good chat."
Lynn held this type of Celestial Dragon in utter disdain. What big influence? Wasn'Golden Divine Punishment it just having many affiliated countries, many strong nations, and the status of an upper Celestial Dragon? In essence, they were still trash.
"No, no objection! Being fancied by Lord Figarland is the glory of the entertainment city! Right, I still have matters, I still have matters, Lord Figarland, please make yourself at home!"
Saint Charloss was truly panicked. What would happen if Lynn went back and beat him half to death?
No one could help him, and the Gorosei wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment stand on his side either. Thus, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the Den Den Mushi with a humble expression.
He didn'Golden Divine Punishment dare to provoke Lynn, and in his heart, he cursed Tesoro countless times. What young Celestial Dragon! Couldn'Golden Divine Punishment you just directly tell me his name is Figarland Lynn?!
Until the image disappeared, the surrounding kneeling commoners, nobles, and pirates all watched with gaping mouths, incomparably shocked in their hearts as they blankly stared at Lynn.
Th-this what kind of situation was this?! Wasn'Golden Divine Punishment he very powerful? Why couldn'Golden Divine Punishment he even speak coherently upon seeing the Celestial Dragon before him?
In an instant, everyone lowered their heads, feeling even greater fear in their hearts. This wasn'Golden Divine Punishment an ordinary Celestial Dragon; this was a very powerful Celestial Dragon among the Celestial Dragons!
As for Tesoro holding the Den Den Mushi, his entire body froze, and monstrous waves churned in his heart, leaving him incomparably shocked.
Saint Charloss, who was always boundless in his arrogance and determined life and death with a single word—an upper Celestial Dragon in the Holy Land—actually became like a mouse seeing a cat upon seeing Lynn, full of fear and panic... Figarland, Figarland, could he be one of the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons? Yet he was clearly still so young!
Tanaka and other subordinates behind him trembled all over. Following Tesoro, they naturally knew just how insufferable Saint Charloss was, with other Celestial Dragons centering themselves around Saint Charloss. Yet now, this young Celestial Dragon before them was even more formidable.
Stunned. Everyone was dumbfounded.
"It seems your backing isn'Golden Divine Punishment enough either. How about contacting the Gorosei and seeing if he wants to preside over justice?"
Lynn felt a sense of boredom. Saint Charloss had conceded defeat far too quickly. If he had gritted his teeth and acted tough with him a bit longer, wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment he have had another excuse to shake them down for their Heavenly Tribute?
Hmph, how boring.
Tesoro had also reacted by now, sighing in his heart as he finally understood that the Figarland before him was simply not someone he could afford to provoke.
Therefore, under everyone's gaze, Tesoro knelt on the ground, feeling somewhat bitter at having kicked an iron plate. As for whether to still contact that Highest Authority known as the Gorosei, how could he possibly still dare?
"Greetings to Lord Figarland!"
Tesoro had no choice but to admit defeat, kneeling on the ground to express his submission, thinking that perhaps Lynn would become an even more awesome backing for him.
After all, he was an existence that even Saint Charloss feared with panic.
