The dashing middle-aged man got even more confused and asked, "Do you really own a kingdom?"
Shadow nodded and said, "If you don't mind, I can bring you there after you swear allegiance to me.
Hearing this, the dashing middle-aged man started to hesitate. He just couldn't decide, on one hand, if he agreed to Shadow"s proposal, he would gain the backing of a kingdom that has direct access to the lower realm. It's just that this whole thing is simply unbelievable.
Shadow patiently waited for his decision. He looked at the frowning, dashing middle-aged man in silence.
After a couple of minutes, the dashing middle-aged man suddenly replied, "Okay, I agree only if you kill the Gethiod family head and his son."
Shadow let out a chuckle and said, "Okay, only after you swear allegiance to me; if you do not, it seems that the deal should be done forcefully."
Hearing this, the dashing middle-aged man got nervous and swallowed his saliva, knowing that he would definitely lose to him and that no one in the lower realm of the Gorgian family might defeat him.
After hesitating for a couple of seconds, the dashing middle-aged man finally decided, and a determined look appeared. He then started speaking: "Okay, the Gorgian Family will submit to your excellency, but there is a tradition that every noble in Cringe City would swear loyalty to the royal family every time that they acquired their noble title."
Hearing his explanation, Shadow nodded and spoke, "Then have your family's younger generation swear loyalty to me; with this, I can ensure the loyalty of the Gorgian family."
Listening to this, Rex started to have a shiver down his spine. With this method, the Gorgian family would not escape from Shadow's grasp.
Knowing this, he started to hesitate after all this concerned the future of the Gorgian family, knowing that if the Gethiod family started to become aggressive, the Gorgian family would definitely lose.
After deeply pondering for a couple of minutes, he still could not decide, so he decided to tell Shadow what he was planning in mind: "I could not decide this on my own, so I will have to call for a family meeting to hear what the other elders think of this."
Shadow nodded and told Rex that he would be hiding in a spot, listening to their discussion.
Rex then called for his secretary and had him gather the elders of the Gorgian family to the meeting hall.
The secretary nodded and started to gather the elders for the meeting. It only took a couple of minutes to gather all the elders in the meeting hall.
One of the white-bearded elders asks a similarly old man next to him, "Old Wu, what do you think is the reason why that brat Rex called us here?
The old man who was called Old Wu shook his head and perplexedly answered, "I don't know; maybe the Gethiod family started to get itchy and finally decided to attack."
One of the old men with a scar on his face started to laugh in disdain. "They can try if they have the guts. After all, the fight between the supremacy in the higher realm is now getting more heated, so they need to lay low for a while."
The rest of the old men started nodding, showing that they agreed with what the scarred old man said.
Suddenly the door was opened, and Rex came in. He then looked at the elders.
The old men started to stand up and bow to Rex, and they greeted him "head."
Rex then nodded at them and sat in the frontmost seat. He then started to get solemn.
Seeing this, the old men know that the meeting today was very important, looking at how solemn Rex is.
After Rex sat down, he started looking at the old men. After a minute of silence, he started speaking: "I have called you here because there is a kingdom that wants our Gorgian family to submit to it."
What he said was like a bomb that exploded into the old men's minds. All of them blanked out. It took a couple of seconds to wake up in their stupor. They then started discussing Some of them were hesitating to agree, while most of them vehemently disagreed with the notion.
Seeing this, Rex was not surprised after all. Even though he was not that willing to switch sides, the situation in Cringe Kingdom in the higher realm was very chaotic and was affecting Cringe City.
Rex then waved his hand to silence the discussion. He then started to tell his view: "You all know that the situation in Cringe Kingdom is very chaotic and is greatly affecting us in the lower realm. The great nobles are getting more rampant these days."
The old men nodded. Of course, they all felt and knew the condition of Cringe City.
Rex then continued, "This kingdom managed to own four worlds because they could travel freely to the higher and lower realms."
One of the old men abruptly stood up and shouted, "Impossible."
The rest of the old men started nodding; they all felt it was really impossible to have a kingdom that could freely travel back and forth to the higher realm and the lower realm.
Suddenly a voice came out of a void: "Oh, you don't believe it, then what about I show you then?"
Then Shadow came out. He was casually smiling, but the aura he released made the old men breathless, and ashen, the only person who still had the ability to stand firm was Rex and the scarred old man.
The sensation of being crushed by a mountain is what the two are currently experiencing; the pressure is immense.
Shadow then started introducing himself: "I am King Shadow, the ruler of Eligan Kingdom. Just like Rex told you, I own four worlds already, and one of them is a 2nd grade world."
He then continued, "I think you already know what I want."
