บท 484: Private Talk

Astaroth indulged in the clapping for a few moments, before raising a hand, motioning to simmer down. The clapping came to a slow stop, the representatives all sitting back down in their seats and murmuring to each other.

Meanwhile, Phoenix gave a discreet punch to Astaroth's arm, giving him a death glare.

She sent him a private message, so no one could hear her complain.

'Was that truly necessary? I just told them moments ago you wouldn't install a reign of terror, and you barge in here, trying to crush everyone with that stupid strength of yours.'

Astaroth chuckled in silence, before responding to her through the messaging function as well.

'It was mainly to make sure all the hard-headed fools understood who was boss. The rest of this meeting will be more civilized.'

Phoenix still looked at him disapprovingly, as the chatter finally died down. Now came the time to talk to everyone.
