Every glance, every movement, every word from Uchiha Hikaru was filled with provocation, contempt, and mocking ridicule. That innate, lofty pressure of disdain made Hody Jones, who was watching from the shadows, feel humiliation like never before.
That lowly human was actually provoking him! That human, no better than an ant, actually dared to mock him!
Crack! Crack! Hody Jones's clenched fists turned even paler. That human was still making wild claims in the square, wantonly trampling on the Fish-Men's dignity and laughing at every Fish-Man watching the square at this very moment.
"Hey, hey!" King Neptune called out softly to Hikaru. "This wasn't the plan, was it? What are you doing? Are you trying to deepen the Fish-Men's hatred for humans?"
Hikaru merely shot King Neptune a cold glare, then flung out his arm and shoved aside the lord of Ryugu Palace. Although Hikaru was only as large as one of Neptune's arms, his strength was astonishing. With that shove, he sent the king's entire body flying dozens of meters away. The Ryugu Palace guards were shocked and hurriedly surrounded Hikaru's honor guard, while others protected King Neptune.
The Fish-Men nearby were horrified, unable to understand what was happening. Why had the envoy, who was supposed to discuss an alliance agreement with the humans, suddenly become so arrogant and unrestrained?
Watching the restless Fish-Men around him, Hikaru sneered. "Do you think the Celestial Dragons care whether you live or die? You're far too naive. The Celestial Dragons don't care whether you're suffering in misery or living in happiness! In this world, only matters that benefit the Celestial Dragons are worth doing. Other than boosting their image, what benefit would moving you onto land bring them?"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire square erupted.
"Shut up!" King Neptune
