Azeroth Monster Manual

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Aier asked again, but this time he lacked the aggressive demeanor from before, his tone instead unusually gentle.

Several family heads and nobles exchanged glances, their eyes filled with suspicion and distrust.

"Tap, tap…"

"Tap, tap…"

The crisp sound of a finger tapping the table resonated rhythmically in the empty hall.

Each time Aier tapped the table, Dalkan, slumped in his seat, would twitch. This facade of the Drathir family had already completely collapsed.

Kainel discreetly poured Aier a cup of black tea and silently retreated behind him.

"Forget it, I'll give you some free information. If you still feel indifferent after this, then I can only say I'm sorry…"

The sunlight outside the window illuminated Aier's exquisitely handsome profile. The youth, cheek resting on his hand, yawned lazily and said seemingly casually.

"If this proposal passes, it's good for you, good for me, good for everyone. If you all think my suggestion is inappropriate, or that I'm not qualified to point fingers here, then so be it, but…"

Aier waited for a long time, but did not get the result he wanted.

'These old bastards are indeed evergreens in the Silvermoon high society; none of them are easy to deal with.'

He sighed helplessly, originally thinking he could see some decent resistance, but unexpectedly, these councilors and family heads were all as cunning as foxes, unwilling to show their faces.

Tired of arguing with these old foxes, Aier decided to cut the Gordian knot and end it all.

His lazy eyes instantly turned sharp as the youth scanned the crowd in the hall.

"I'll restate it one more time. If you all agree to the previous proposal and immediately stop all industries related to Blood Thistle and any under-the-table dealings, then I can let bygones be bygones and only punish the ringleaders. But if you…"

"Excuse me, Councilor Aier, it seems your position only grants you the right to observe, not to speak."

The head of the Sunwing family slowly stood up and said righteously.

Seeing that someone had finally spoken out against him, the youth was not only not angry, but suddenly became excited.

Just as he was worrying about not finding a pillow when drowsy, someone had kindly delivered one.

"Very good, someone is finally willing to be the first to eat the crab. As for you, Head of the Sunwing family, to commend your bravery and loyalty, I will offer my sincerest blessings."

The head of the Sunwing family looked at the youth in front of him who was bowing elegantly to him, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He suddenly regretted that he might have made an irreversible mistake.

He saw the youth take a pair of pure white gloves from Kainel and throw them in front of the head of the Sunwing family.

"I am neither a member of these dirty parasites, nor am I obligated to clean up the mess for some damn big shots and noble groups…

I have already given you the best choice, but some self-righteous fools think they can muddle through again. Since I don't have the right to speak, then perhaps these white gloves do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. The originally noisy hall became so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

The head of the Sunwing family's face turned red, and veins popped out on his forehead. He wanted to explode several times, but he forcibly endured it when he saw the pure white gloves in front of him.

Aier's words were impolite, even to the point of tearing face with all the nobles present. If these words were spread throughout Quel'Thalas, it would definitely cause earth-shattering turmoil, and the Saronar family would inevitably be ostracized and suppressed by many nobles.

The head of the Sunwing family looked helplessly at the Sun King, but Anasterian only stared blankly while drinking the black tea in his cup, as if he saw nothing and heard nothing.

"According to Quel'Thalas's noble traditions, if one party proposes a duel, then the other party has the right to refuse, but must fulfill one request of the challenger.

Of course, this kind of duel can only be held once in a lifetime, and the requests can only be some that conform to the status of a noble. Speaker Belovar, am I right?"

Aier leisurely rubbed his fingers and said to Belovar, who was not far away.

"According to Article 468 of Quel'Thalas's Noble Law, that is indeed the case, but Councilor Aier Saronar, I must remind you that the winner's request cannot be too harsh.

For example, you cannot demand to obtain more than one-third of the other party's property, you cannot demand the other party to commit suicide, you cannot have insulting actions, etc., etc… These requests are dishonorable and are not protected by Quel'Thalas law."

Belovar seriously flipped through Quel'Thalas's Noble Law, which he didn't know where he had found, but his eyes didn't know where to look.

Looking at the Speaker who recited so skillfully, the head of the Sunwing family could understand even with his ass that the arrogant and despotic youth had already calculated this step, and he was the nail that stood out and would inevitably become the target of Aier's power display.

At this time, he was riding a tiger and found it difficult to dismount. If he accepted the duel, it would be like lighting a lamp in the toilet, courting death.

He was also present at the battle between the youth and Antonidas, and the terrifying forbidden spell that blotted out the sky and covered the earth like a natural disaster left a deep impression on him. Even the powerful Antonidas was easily defeated by the youth.

Even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to accept the youth's challenge to a duel. If he was not careful, he would end up here.

After he died, the youth could pat his butt and casually say, "Sorry, I didn't control my strength," and even the Sun King wouldn't say much.

Those ambitious collateral descendants in the family couldn't wait for him to die now, so how could they avenge him?

Wouldn't he die in vain?

Furthermore, let's talk about refusing. The damn Noble Law requires the party refusing the duel to fulfill one condition of the other party.

The other party directly proposed to give one-third of the Sunwing family's property to him for free.

If that were the case, wouldn't he be nailed to the pillar of shame? When he became the sinner of the Sunwing family, then he shouldn't even think about sitting in the position of family head.

The resources obtained by his children and descendants would also become extremely scarce. Perhaps after he lost power, he would be personally sent to the Saronar family by those collateral jackals to appease the youth's anger…

"Hey, hey, are you in a daze?"

The youth looked at the head of the Sunwing family, who was standing there in a daze, with some curiosity.

"This guy actually dares to be in a daze at such an important moment. It seems that he is prepared. Am I too flamboyant? Could this guy be an expert? No, I have to be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!"

Just as Aier was distracted, the head of the Sunwing family, who was immersed in the dark future and unable to extricate himself, finally came back to his senses.

Looking at Aier in front of him with sharp eyes (overly imaginative), the head of the Sunwing family couldn't help but shudder.

Therefore, the attitude of the head of the Sunwing family, who had the demeanor of a great general, suddenly took a 180° turn.

"Master Aier, you're joking. Wouldn't a duel between a legendary figure like you and a small person like me damage your reputation?

I agree with your proposal ten thousand times. I have to say that Quel'Thalas needs righteous people like you. Our Sunwing family disdains to associate with historical sinners like the Drathir family! We resolutely draw a clear line with these parasites and bloodsuckers! Bah!"

Aier: …

Anasterian: …

Belovar: …

Everyone: …

Dalkan touched the sticky phlegm on his face with a dazed expression. You two were chatting so well, why did you suddenly give me a magical attack?

Aier looked at the head of the Sunwing family in front of him, who was wringing his hands and smiling obsequiously, completely opposite to what he had been just now, and didn't know what to say. He had underestimated the ugly faces of these politicians.

"You really are a multi-talented person."

Supporting his forehead with one hand, the youth sighed helplessly. It seemed that his plan to eradicate the roots had completely failed.

Head of the Sunwing Family: You have a good eye for people.

Everyone: …
