Chapter 69: The Meeting of Leaders
13/04, Middle Continent, Qrystial.
Kling. Clangs.
The sound of the clinking of the glass and the low boisterous of the party livened up the atmosphere of the tower which seemed more crowded than usual.
Today, the second day of my return to Qrystial. The news of my return was quickly spread among the Qrystial higher-ups. And quickly, a meeting of the leaders was held.
"Young master, everything is ready" said uncle Edward, turning my attention for a moment.
"Ah, sure" I said calmly.
"Young Master! Are you okay!?" Celtuk Barto.
The corner of my mouth twitched, "Haa?" Ask sharp.
Plaque!
A blow hit Barto's head hard, "Young master, just ignore him." Said Louisse coldly.
"Fu fu .however, Barto's point is, because this is your first meeting with the other leaders, so maybe he thinks that you're nervous." Said Uncle Edward mediating.
I turned my gaze back out the window of the carriage, "Hmm. I guess." Briefly said.
"So, basically Barto's speech is wrong, so there's no need to think about it, young master." Said uncle Edward later.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the train became quite silent. But before long, we arrived at the meeting place, the Qrystial Court.
It was already quite crowded with the members of each of the existing organizations, most of them were adventurers, I guess.
The door opened, I put my foot in. Different from the atmosphere outside which is quite crowded, the atmosphere inside the tower is still so quiet that only an old man who has occupied the seats provided.
"I'm sorry?" Asked a man with his full tuxedo standing behind the door.
I turned my gaze to the man, "Mm? Ah, right too. You don't know me, do you?" I said as I gestured to Louisse behind me.
Louisse nodded in agreement, after a while, the man's face seemed surprised for a moment before finally returning to calm when he changed to look at me.
"ah! Mm-sorry! I didn't recognize the previous leader" he said, showing his respect.
"We'll see each other often" I said before leaving.
I walked up to him, home to seven leaders from each of the organizations rooted in Qrystial, with three Organizations leading the main government.
Srak ...
I pulled out one of the chairs, while another who had been sitting before looked at me curiously.
I could only smile in response to the curious gaze from him.
"Who is he?" The whisper of one of the men who appeared to be standing behind one of the leaders.
"Either. I guess we didn't ask for student representatives from the academy, did we?" Ask one later.
"Ehem!"
The two people immediately fell silent as their master gestured for silence.
Susana became quite crowded as a few people then entered the meeting room.
Some attention immediately led to me, while the rest seemed to ignore my presence.
"Young master, they .." Louisse whispered to me.
The meeting room has been filled enough, some chairs have also met the owner, only two seats are left on the right and left, "It's okay" I said.
The door opened again, two familiar men in my memory appeared to emerge from it. They, were the leaders of the other two organizations, Black Snake and the Golden Cup.
Simultaneously the entire leader stood up and saluted the two, except for 'me'.
A strange look was immediately thrown at me, again.
Well, maybe they thought that I was looking to die by not paying respect to the two, but anyway ... what reason do I give them such respect?
"Hmm? Are you the messenger of the Ghost Monarchy?" Long black-haired man, Ethan.
I turned my gaze to her for a moment, "no." My words were simple while shaking calmly.
He frowned for a moment, "Huh? So then? You're who?"
Meanwhile, Ranfold seemed to slightly turn his gaze to Louisse who was standing behind me. For a moment, he mumbled softly, "so" he said, smiling cunningly.
"Ehem! Alright ... Since everything is present, then there is no reason to postpone it again, this meeting" he said, glancing at me from the two corners of the sharp-looking old eye.
In the meantime, I just nodded my approval of it.
"Tu-wait! Lord Ranfold, what about the leader of the Ghost Monarchy!? Wouldn't it be unethical if we just missed it?" Said one of the people present at the meeting.
Once again, the old fox glanced at me for a moment, "So, how long do you intend to hide it?"
"Hnn? I'm not hiding it." I'm indifferent.
"Sighs. Turns out it's you, I don't think I have it anymore, doubt." His words sighed.
"Well .. so only I'm aware of it, huh? Well, then, it's gonna be hard. Young Leader, can you point it out, the existence of the Ghost Monarchy."
Hearing that remark, it couldn't prevent me from developing a smile, "of course, not-pleasantly." My speech.
"Creator of Death" I whispered.
Swuush up!
A black shadow immediately rose from behind my back with a howl. The atmosphere became very quiet, not a single sound appeared.
"I think that's enough, right? Elder Ranfold?" I said while pulling back my skills.
Allegations of surprise and fear immediately sprinkled on their faces, "Damn it! How do you know that old man!?" Ethan grumbled at the old man before him, Ranfold.
"Well, it's your fault for being insensitive!" Tukas Mr. Ranfold was replied by a grumbling expression from Mr. Ethan. While the rest, can only watch with an unfriendly facial expression.
I cleared my throat, giving an aba to the other two leaders that the meeting was about to begin.
Soon the atmosphere became quite calm - no, actually it was so quiet that it was close to awkward I guess.
I took a deep breath, "alright, let me say, Welcome to the Qrystial Court. Seven distinguished leaders. Then, let me introduce myself once more. I, the person you call Akara, the Ghost Monarchy Leader, am pleased to meet you all."
