Chapter 335: Infiltration [3]

[Henolur, Elder council] 

A deathly silence enveloped the hall. 

"…what did you just say?" 

Gernis's solemn voice echoed across the hall. 

A terrifying pressure spread out from his small and aged body, completely enveloping the hall. 

Subjected to such pressure, Waylan merely frowned. 

Having been with Douglas for a long time, he was already used to the pressure.

"I'll say it again. Give me a chance, and I will help you end this war." 

"Pftt…"
