198 The salary is in place, the gods are wasted

Rouge, Albany!

In the reception area, Dean McKenzie asked a South Barbarian staffer responsible for liaising with the Alliance, "Is that guy still not ready to meet me?"

"Sir, the response we received from the Alliance is that they need a few more days since they have things to handle on their end!"

Upon hearing the same old reply, Dean McKenzie couldn't help but smirk, "Seems like your boss doesn't hold much sway here!"

Initially, he assumed that they would give Bear Barry some face owing to his Barbarian supremacy.

But once he arrived, he found that they didn't think much of the 'Barbarian Supreme Bear.'

Of course, it could be because Bear Barry did not come himself, if he were there in person, the situation might have been different.

As for Dean McKenzie?

They probably feel that considering his status and their position, if he insists on meeting right away, it might make them seem inferior, hence he should be sidelined for now.
