Harial nodded. “You’re right. Although this matter is indeed true, it’s still confidential for the time being so please don’t share it with anyone else. Soon, Wyvern Peak will no longer exist!”

Harial and Archer’s revelations piqued the interest of the crowd.

Noverton International Group’s president asked, “What’s going on? Is Mr. Chase preparing to take out the legate?”

Asher sneered and said, “Not just the legate. Mr. Chase is going to take out the whole of Wyvern Peak! As long as it stands, Wyvern Peak is a huge threat to us.”

“What’s the situation? We’re all ears!”

“That’s right, Mr. Asher. Please tell us the situation.”

The crowd inquired with keen interest.

A few beautiful women swayed and leaned against Harial and Asher. They even raised their glasses to get the two men to drink. These women were commissioned by the company presidents, of course.

After taking a sip, Asher said, “Think about it. The war in the outlands has already subsided. Since there’s no war, why are they still funneling our money to keep Wyvern Peak running?

“Novemton’s Mr. Chase has already suggested to the monarch to dissolve Wyvern Peak and to stop providing material or financial resources to them. Since there’s no more war, why continue wasting money on Wyvern Peak?”

The crowd gasped in surprise upon hearing Asher’s words. The war in the outlands had already subsided indeed, and according to his story, Novemton’s Mr. Chase wanted to get rid of Wyvern Peak

The speaker and chief secretary of Imperial City’s Internal Affairs, Chase, had always been in a conflict with Wyvern Peak. He had suggested dissolving Wyvern Peak on multiple occasions and giving War Legate Draco just a title without any real power.

In reality, this was easier said than done. However, it did not mean that it was impossible.

Chase proposed to negotiate peace with the outlands. In his mind, he wanted to take full control of the country’s initiative and not be affected by Wyvern Peak

And it looked like he had begun to take action.

“Mr. Archer, if Mr. Chase were to try to take out Wyvern Peak, would the legate allow him to do that?” someone asked.

“Heh–heh!” Archer chuckled. “Who do you think Draco is? His title was given by none other than Internal Affairs. Now that the war has subsided, Internal Affairs has no need for him. So, why would we keep him?”

Harial said, “He’s right. Once Novemton has voted to take out War Legate Draco and dissolve Wyvern Peak, he’ll be nothing. How will he cause any change when he’s nothing?

“Just let him be as arrogant as he wants in Swallowston for now. When the voting is made public, the legate will be nothing!

“Hahaha!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Harial’s remark triggered everyone else’s laughter. They raised their glasses.

“Come. Mr. Archer, Mr. Harial, we’ll need both of you to help us in the future. When Wyvern Peak is dissolved, you two will rule over Swallowston.”

“Yes. It’d be best if Wyvern Peak was dissolved. When that happens, you’ll be free to do as you please in Swallowston”

“Hahaha! Come! Let’s toast to Mr. Archer and Mr. Harial

The crowd raised their glasses in an attempt to cozy up to these two people so they would have a place in the city in the future. Archer and Harial raised their glasses and clinked glasses with these people in response.

However, just as they were about to down their drinks, a loud bang went off as the private room’s door was kicked open. Soon after, the long–legged Mya, dressed in all black, led a team of over twenty people into the room.

Everyone in the private room was instantly surrounded What followed was the sound of clapping. In the next moment, Adrian walled slowly into the room.
