Capítulo 849: The Outgroup's Proposal [Pt 1]

Neron returned my smile with a nod, stepping forward to approach both the defeated Kuzon and the shivering Dragon King. Based on the short exchange between our parties, it was clear who had the upper hand.

"Tch… whatever. I suppose I'll hear you out." Kuzon gritted his teeth as he returned to his throne.

He put on his emperor's robe, doing whatever he could to regain his dignity. I wondered if he was so lacking in self-awareness to understand that it was already too late.

"Thank you, Emperor Kuzon. I will be representing the Outgroup in this discussion. I apologize for just barging into your palace, but such measures had to be taken so we could speak with you."

"W-well, you could have at least…"
