Book 6: Chapter 422: BPA (2)
“Hello, I am one of the eight vice chairmen of BPA, I go by Wenwald.” Vice Chairman Wenwald pushed the grieving Brea behind her, slightly annoyed by the little girl, but not having the heart to say so.
For a vice chairmen to come here personally, it was obvious how seriously they took Dyon. The title of defeating, and even embarrassing, a True God wasn’t to be taken lightly. No matter how skeptical they were of his comet grade status, there was indisputable proof of his combat prowess.
Considering how weak those of the soul path were in combat, taking on someone who broke the mold as firmly as Dyon needed to be taken seriously.
The good news for them was that Beast Masters took the most direct way in dealing with this weakness. Vice Chairman Wenwald was very much confident in her partners being capable of dealing with Dyon.
Mia and Bella held each other’s hands nervously, hiding behind Dyon’s large frame. At the same time, Amy was conflicted, uncertain of whether she should leave or not. She didn’t even notice the astronomical sum brewing in her tips.
Seeing that Dyon didn’t respond, Wenwald could only press forward. “I know that this is inconvenient for you, but the quicker we sort this out, the better. A big fuss has already been made, so it’s too late to take a step back. Please understand.”
The surrounding young geniuses blinked, unable to understand what they were seeing. A mighty comet grade expert was practically…. Groveling?
It couldn’t be helped. The senses of those on the soul path were too sharp, especially at Wenwald’s level. Maybe the Vice Chairman had come here with fiercer intentions, but meeting Dyon personally completely changed her tune.
Grandmaster Brea wanted to protest, but after seeing the glare the Wenwald sent to her, she could only bury her head in shame.
Truth be told, Dyon was intrigued by how things were unfolding. He didn’t know that the relationship between humans and beasts was so… precarious. He probably should have taken the events with the celestial beasts as a clue, though, now that he thought about it.
Dyon’s home universe had too energy poor to raise any high-level beasts, so it was no wonder he wasn’t used to having to deal with balancing that relationship. The only “beasts” he had known were his master and little brother, not to mention his mother-in-law, which made him see everything with rose colored glasses. He didn’t even see them as beasts, he saw them as family.
It was to the point where he didn’t even remember half the time that his second wife was half beast. He simply didn’t care.
Dyon suddenly laughed. “Isn’t this a bit too funny, don’t you think? You all handout the Grandmaster title a bit too cheaply.”
Brea’s large eyes shot up. Seeing the tears streaking down her face and her reddened pupils, Dyon felt kind of bad. But, he was also quite annoyed.
“Are you not all aware that my wife is a beast?”
To Dyon who knew the truth, Ri was only half beast. But, currently, to the world, she was a full fledged kitsune.
Brea and Wenwald were stunned as though a door had just opened up for them. That was right… His wife really is a beast…
At that moment, Brea’s face reddened with embarrassment. Had she been too quick to judge? She forgot something so simple…
Even Mia and Bella looked at Dyon in a new light. After all, they had only met Clara, but she was human. That meant that Dyon had other wives they had yet to meet.
Suddenly, the sound of someone clearing their throat cut through the slowly mending atmosphere. At that moment, everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to the white robed young man.
“We understand the point you’re making, but some individuals classify different beasts in different ways. For example, you might see transcendent and the supreme beast your wife is as equal to humans due to the fact they have access to the human path that earth and heaven grade beasts do not. If that’s true, you might have no qualms about treating lower grade beasts as frivolous possessions. That’s what we’re here to stop.
“Also…” The young man’s snake-like eyes flashed. “… It isn’t as though we’re aware of how well you do or don’t treat your wife… Your temper had been well documented. Someone so willing to fight such a powerful opponent for the sake of another woman while your own wife is next to you… Should I describe Alexandria Snow as a little too submissive to you? Almost eyebrow raisingly?…
“Now you’ve shown up in a very public way with two more beautiful women… Simply put, from the outside looking in, it doesn’t seem as though you take your wife very seriously. I myself would be quite embarrassed to be your wife.”
The temperature of the room seemed to plummet. The words seemed to have a vague, dark and twisted logic to them, yet they were spoken to calmly and without malice that the dissonance made those listening feel more than just uncomfortable…
No matter how uncomfortable they felt, no one dared to question this young man’s words because they recognized exactly who he was.
Even without the white robes, his presence seemed to resonate with the air around him. His body almost flickered into and out of existence for those with weak Perception.
His hair was long, resting neatly at his lower back and shimmering despite being a dense black. His brows seemed to be shaped by swords and his eyes were just as piercing as a blade. Anyone who saw him would have to admit that there were very few who could match his handsome exterior, and even less who could match his power.
This young man was a prince of one of the Five Blade families, clans that could only be found in the third ranked Spirit Quadrant. Diasho Ken.
