The boss there had a buzz cut with pink hair and swirls of white dotted about.
"Since nobody is saying it, how about we all just raise our hands or keep our hands down… So, all participating in the war, raise your hands," The Challac head said, and reluctantly, everybody raised their hands.
Hooo… I thought some of them were going to be sitting out, and if they actually do participate, shit is going to go down.
To be honest, I can't tell why Amlas is such a low-ranked city when these guys are all clearly A-rank…
Or, maybe they just aren't adventurers at all and only use their power for the expansion and good of their family.
That would make the most sense, but I can't be too safe… so I'll take all of them into account.
"Okay, well, I kind of expected that," The Challac head spoke up again before snapping his fingers and sinking into the stone chair.
The room then went silent… before the man right next to me spoke up, awakening everybody as his pressure seemed to devour everybody else in the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSome of the assistants even wobbled a bit before returning to their position.
"We should stop doing this silly meeting. It brings no good for anybody here… it only brings hate, and I'm sure all of us are aware that we're pretty much enemies now, and even though we do have some allies… we can't be too sure," The man said.
"Isn't that what makes it fun?" A man with spiky yellow hair and a coat of white feathers says with the two of his assistants wearing dark yellow masks to cover their faces.
He was the head of the Humblcrest family.
The room once again went silent.
"Then, how about we just restore our relationships. This meeting was meant to be some sort of alliance in the first place… So let's just work together," The Wony head said, and everybody in the room, of course, disagreed with him.
"Bullshit. You think I can work together with this asshole?" The Lunascar head said as he glanced over at the Bonebloom head right next to me.
Suddenly, an argument erupted between these six leaders and didn't seem to end since some wanted to create an alliance while others stuck to their stupid pride.
They're like children…
"EVERYBODY SHUT UP! WE'RE CREATING AN ALLIANCE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! SET AWAY YOUR FUCKING PRIDE FOR ONE MINUTE AND THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES! I KNOW YOU ALL ARE ASSHOLES, BUT CAN'T YOU THINK OF THE STATUS OF YOUR FAMILY!? ISN'T THAT THE MAIN REASON AS TO WHY YOU'RE THE HEADS OF THE FAMILY!" One of the assistants suddenly shouted, and my heart raced with excitement.
The room went silent again as all of the leaders looked at Wony, who didn't show even a slight sign of now backing down.
The eyes of each leader glowed eerily in the dim light of the room, making a shiver get shot down my spine and travel throughout my entire body.
My senses and nervous system felt like they were going haywire as bloodlust rose from five beings… while one stood up with indescribable power.
It was completely on par with the head right before me when he tested me before.
"If you dare to harm my kin… I will make sure your family members die a slow and painful death," He said as his fiery red hair burst into literal red flames.
Those… aren't the eyes of a human… a dragon? A monster? Some type of fire monster? There's no way he's a human.
Being the strongest of the six individually, I guess he had some authority over them as even these prideful and strong men backed down onto their seats and grumbled with anger.
"Now… We'll create an alliance whether you like it or not… but I know you guys are going to try and kill me for this embarrassment, but I don't have to worry… I have many candidates that are much more talented than me and will easily fill my shoes in no time. So, the body of the spider still moves without its head,"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeems there was actually some sensible person here… while these other five are just assholes running their families.
I have no clue how they managed to grow them when they act like this… no, I can see how. It's probably just through fear or some shit like that.
"Let's have all of the assistants leave for now since we need absolute privacy. Ghost hair, I know you can do that," The Wony family head turned to the Challac head, and as he rolled his eyes, us assistants left.
We all spread throughout the large spatial palace, and as Orme walked beside me, I could tell his face was pale from underneath the mask.
As soon as we took a sharp turn, Orme removed his mask and dropped to his knees while huffing in as much air as possible.
He almost looked like he was about to die the way his face had turned a ghostly pale where you could see each and every individual vein.
"Hey… Been a while," A voice suddenly called out to the two of us from down the hallway, and Orme quickly stumbled over his mask before just barely managing to attach it to his face.
"I have no clue who you are," I responded before stepping out of the way as I was covering Orme from the sight of these two kids.
They were clearly from the Challac family due to their ghostly face and pale white hair.
"And so do I… I wasn't talking to you bitch so move out of the way," One of the boys with his hair tied up in a knot said… but he couldn't push me out of the way.
This bitch hasn't killed a single monster… he's still going off of his base stats.
"Joker, it's fine. No need to start any conflict right now," Orme said, and I rolled my eyes underneath my mask before walking past him, only to bump into his shoulder purposefully.
Let's see how he reacts…
