章 551: Starting the Party with a Fight

*F*ck!* Oli's mind started racing before he could realize it. *Netra, I can't have you giving me away again… Why else would you choose my table? Please just… Why my table? Why not confront me in private?!*

In response to Oli's verbal jab, Netra kept her cool and nodded.

"In some ways, you're right. It's easier for me to gather essence and build up my core. In other ways, things are far harder for me.

"Do understand the pressure and meaning behind God Toseko coming to visit your city just to claim you as his personal subordinate? Do you understand what it feels like to tell a god no while you're only an elder?" 

Kako's eyes were swelling up, pushing back his eyelids. He was too shocked to say anything. 

Oli slowly inhaled and exhaled before nodding.

"I see… You're right. There are different difficulties and challenges that you have to face. I'm sorry for overstepping my bounds, Netra."

"I accept your apology."
