"With Aelra's temper, I doubt he'll accept that."
The Prince of Doomsday let out a cold laugh. "If he doesn't agree, do you think I will?"
The attendees almost forgot—this prince was not to be trifled with either.
Now that he had a grudge against Aelra, it wouldn't be easy to settle things peacefully.
"What exactly is Aelra up to? Skipping even a crucial meeting like this—could it be that the energy planet he found is something extraordinary, and he's afraid the Prince of Doomsday will try to seize it?"
Some aliens couldn't help but speculate, their greed surfacing.
If the energy planet was truly remarkable, they couldn't just sit idly by.
The thought that Aelra might have stumbled upon a massive fortune only fueled their desire.
Since he was absent, they decided to proceed without him.
Offending Aelra might still leave room for negotiation, but offending the Prince of Doomsday?
