Hearing the voice of that Spiritual Demigod, Minos frowned and looked in that man's direction strangely. 'Did the leader of that organization happen to come to me?'
Minos had various information regarding the Blood Triangle Pirates, as he had researched much about this group over the years. Consequently, he knew that the leader of this organization was not a particularly powerful Spiritual Demigod, someone in the early part of the 10th stage.
There weren't many other cultivators of this stage in this group either, so with the appearance of one of only two of them in his city, he found the situation strange.
'Why would someone so strong come to me just to offer me a job? Did his group get angry because I made them wait? But I have no obligation to help them, and they can do a lot without me.' Minos thought before appearing not far from those people.
"To what do I owe the honor of a Spiritual Demigod's visit?" He asked, full of doubt. "That can't just be because of the work I was offered before..."
Meanwhile, the high-level Spiritual Saints in this city watched toward the local sky, fearful of what might happen.
Everyone knew Minos identified the Blood Triangle Pirates as an enemy organization. As such, with someone so strong of that organization there in Dry City, they couldn't help but fear the worst.
'What will happen?'
'I don't think this person is here for good things!'
'Damn it! We have to do something about it!'
Several men and women at levels 78 and 79 thought about this situation, trying to find alternatives to resolve what that man might try against this place.
The Spiritual Demigod looked at Minos and narrowed his eyes, seeing the fellow who dared to refuse His Highness Calvert's offers. This level 77 fellow had also delayed for more than 11 years to decide whether to help his organization find that map in the northern region.
This was too much!
He was a glorious Spiritual Demigod, and Calvert would soon be one too!
But even so, a mere Spiritual Saint had managed to annoy the two of them and still cause His Majesty's fury!
"Minos Stuart, you have guts!" That man shouted, causing everyone in Dry City to bring their hands to their ears as they felt tremendous pressure on them.
The buildings and streets began to crack, showing this entire city the power of a Demigod.
"Accept to join His Highness Calvert's faction and the work offered by my men, or suffer the consequences!"
Minos clenched his fists after pulling them away from his ears, straining to withstand the pressure of that man's voice. Meanwhile, the veins on his neck and forehead appeared, and his face turned red.
"Is that a threat? Are Prince Calvert and the Blood Triangle Pirates setting themselves against me?" He asked in a tone that showed no fear, although he suffered from the pressure caused by the enemy's voice.
"Oh? What if it is? What are you going to do?" That man laughed while his subordinates were delighted to see this man putting Minos in his rightful place.
For high-ranking people like them, there was nothing worse than a person trying to be more than they were, to achieve more than they should.
Watching their leader oppress such a bumpkin was a sight worthy of their attention, so they stood there watching it all with smiles.
Minos then said. "Are you going to choose this path for something so small? What happens if I choose to join Cardinal Forrest Howell's faction because of this?"
"Oh? So you're saying you'll do that because of me? That would be a shame. That would irritate His Highness Calvert." That man laughed, snapping the fingers of his hands in a way that indicated he would have to 'talk' a bit with this person. "If you choose this path, I will suffer punishment, so I must make it worthwhile."
"Decide your fate and don't regret it later. I definitely won't regret it." Minos put up a fighting stance, indicating to that man that he would not accept this oppression quietly and still.
The Spiritual Sages around that Demigod laughed as they listened to Minos, seeing his pathetic reaction.
'Does that idiot think he can fight a Demigod?'
'He's out of his mind. He thinks we're going to kill him, and he's showing all his bravery to the people of his city... Little does he know that we are only here to humiliate him in front of his citizens.'
'Haha, how pathetic... So this is the Stuart Emperor? It seems to me that he got to his position by luck. He's not going to get any bigger than that.'
Those people talked among themselves, sending their thoughts into their companions' minds as they laughed at Minos.
The Demigod there was also smiling, noting that Minos had a lot of courage for someone at the 8th stage. Because of this, he could not deny his surprise.
But breaking someone's trust like that would be even more pleasant than acting against someone subservient!
Once he destroyed Minos' trust, it would be a matter of time before this person started working for him and Prince Calvert!
"Hehe, do you think I will regret anything? Nonsense, you are only a Spiritual Saint! Become a Demigod and come to me and make me repent, if you are able, of course. Until then, shut up and obey!" He said arrogantly.
pαndα`noν?1--сoМ "I won't have to wait that long," Minos commented, activating his techniques, already with his Soul Avatar activated.
Those people coming from the Evergreen Empire saw that and continued to stand still, giving this bumpkin room to use everything he had.
Once Minos showed his best and was totally crushed by their leader, their work there would be practically finished!
After today, no one would respect Minos in the Black Plain Empire!
That would lead to more problems arising in such a state, eventually leading to him having to accept his inferior position and take orders from the Evergreen family.
That was their plan!
No one stopped Minos as he did his best, quickly raising his level to 79 with the help of some elders in the surrounding area who were there to lend their cultivation bases to him.
Then he soon had a black hole spinning before him, something capable of swallowing even level 83 Spiritual Saints without difficulty.
That was impressive, but it didn't scare those people who were faster and stronger than that.
But then, Minos made a shocking move, surprising even that Spiritual Demigod!
In the blink of an eye, Minos manipulated the space and made his black hole go through it until it reached above where those invaders were.
In that instant, they all stood under the event horizon of that region of space!
"Deal with it!" Minos shouted, filled with rage.
