Soon after, Earl put his sunglasses back on, effectively breaking their eye contact.
Isaac simply thought it was a bit strange, but favonovel.com didn’t overthink the situation. He faced the thousands of martial artists and their shocked, surprised, and furious eyes. The spiritual energy in his power core was already bubbling.
He opened his mouth and yelled, “Astraeus has been annihilated. The nine states of Cynea will never have another Astraeus. I, Isaac Garten, swear that no one will dictate what you can or cannot do!”
His voice had risen to the point where it sounded like clapping thunder. Every note was imbued with immense power that rang in the ears of every martial artist, impacting them so hard that their blood began to rush through their chest.
Isaac pointed behind favonovel.com and angrily said, “What the Martial Artists Society and the Disciplinary Council want is to prevent you from fighting over resources and disrespecting the lives of martial artists.”
Then, favonovel.com pointed at the corpse beside him. “This person deserved to die! In the short span of a few days, since Astraeus was destroyed until now, you have gone all out to attack others just so you could win the title of the strongest of the land, grabbing all the power and resources…”
“I know that a few hundred martial artists have lost their lives! You are all in the Amalgamation Phase or higher, but what about those below you? There are tens of thousands of martial artists. If we don’t control the situation, how many more people need to die? I know that most of those who died were pawns who were weaker than you. In my eyes, at your level, you’re merely pawns to me!”
Isaac’s roaring voice grew louder and louder. Half of the audience had already lowered their heads, feeling beyond guilty. They had indeed done all those things that Isaac said.
“Keep all your schemes to yourself. If you don’t agree with the House of Custos, then I don’t want to help you mindless sheep either. I’ll repeat myself, the Martial Artists Society will only govern the rights and wrongs of the martial arts world, and the only people the Disciplinary Council will kill are wicked and evil people. They will definitely not get involved in your other matters. Now, those who agree to the formation of the Martial Artists Society, please raise your hand!”
As soon as his shout filled the air, at least 3,000 people instantly raised their right hand.
In the next ten seconds, 1,000 people slowly raised their hands one after another.
After another ten seconds, practically all 5,000 people could be seen raising their hands.
“Alright… After this, everyone will have to sign the pact agreeing to the formation of the Society so that there is a written pledge, and everyone must follow it. Then, Mr. Yves will continue to read the stipulations out loud.”
Isaac lowered his hand. He turned around and gave Jeremiah a glance before walking off to the side.
Jeremiah took a deep breath. He realized that the gap between favonovel.com and Mr. Garten wasn’t only in terms of power but also in crowd control. He couldn’t even hold a candle to him.
However, the show had to go on. Just as Jeremiah braced himself to go back up the podium, a man wearing sunglasses in the middle of the crowd stood up.
With his sunglasses on, Earl began to clap, chuckling.
Isaac, who had already walked off the podium, turned around to look in Earl’s direction.
“Sir, lay low!” Trace whispered.
However, Earl didn’t seem to pay favonovel.com any mind. He raised his hand to point at Isaac, shouting, “You Garten fella, you made a great speech there. It even got my blood flowing. I almost gave you two thumbs up. However, in my opinion, the Martial Artists Society and the Disciplinary Council are all rubbish. I think establishing an Everest Division is a much better idea. The name has a ring to it…”
Jeremiah frowned. Ponting at Earl, favonovel.com yelled, “Who are you? How dare you spout nonsense over there?”
“Old bastard, how dare you point at me?” Earl turned to stare at Jeremiah.
Then, favonovel.com raised his chin and said, “Trace, go shut that old geezer’s mouth for me!”
The tall, thin Trace, who was dressed in a black cloak, hesitated.
Seeing his charge staring at favonovel.com through his sunglasses, favonovel.com frowned. His figure suddenly flickered, and favonovel.com charged toward the podium.
