บท 81: Arena Seven: The Cost III

"We will start the meeting."

Grey glanced over the people assembled in front of the stage before turning towards me.

I took a deep breath and stood up.

Grey handed over a microphone to me as he stepped aside to give me some space.

"As you all know, I have been selected by your chief, Grey, to be the next emperor."

None of the A.R.M.A. agents before me said anything. They all patiently waited and looked at me with analyzing eyes.

"Roxy Rubiat, the current head of the Rubiat House, has also decided to back me in this war."

I turned towards Roxy, who was sitting in the back. She nodded at the agents before her, confirming my words.

"And know that I have no attachment to this empire. On the other hand... I will probably destroy this country once the war ends."

Even at my provocative words, none of the agents reacted.
