"...If you guys sleep forever."
Just as the guy did that, everyone went into a state of panic and put their guards up, ready to attack or defend while some tried to run away.
One person screamed on top of his lungs while running towards the exit:
"HOLY SHIT! ATTACK! ENE—"
BURST!
The council member's head burst open and he died on the spot.
The place where he just died, the red-haired guy appeared and said with a smile at his splattered organ,
"Did I say you could leave?"
Previously, his smile seemed bright to everyone, but now he appeared like a psychopath.
"Ruben, stop it."
The light blue-haired guy who was silent all this while, said looking at the red-haired guy.
He then looked at the council members and said calmly, "there may have been some inconveniences, my apologies. Please settle down and ignore my colleague's mistake."
"Also, Ruben come back here."
After saying so, the light blue-haired guy snapped his fingers and the entire hall was restored back to normal, along with all blood and everything being gone. The hall didn't look grotesque anymore.
This small gesture made all the people in the room slightly calm down. But just as they had a momentary peace, they realized that the two people who got killed weren't there anymore and were about to panic again when…
"Let me introduce ourselves." The light-blue haired guy said. "I am Noman and he's Ruben."
Noman introduced himself and Ruben who came back and was now standing beside him.
Noman then continued, "this meeting is being held because of us. And we are here on orders from the Royal Clan."
'Royal Clan?' Everyone thought to themselves. Which royal clan? There were thousands of them present.
But their confusion was gone and their hair stood on their ends when Noman looked at them with his soul piercing gaze and said,
"...The Vampire Royal Clan."
Everyone felt a chill down their spines and trembled in fear as they heard what Noman just said.
The entire Upper House turned silent and everyone had a grim look on their race.
'Shit. Just what the hell is wrong today?' Myers couldn't help but curse and think.
Looking at their faces and the silence in the room, Ruben smiled and nudged his elbow at Noman's side. "You sure know how to control the crowd."
Noman had no reaction to it and he ignored Ruben.
He looked at the crowd and continued, "so as you know, you were appointed to properly govern and look after the Neutral Continent, but you guys ended up causing more troubles than solving the problems here."
Noman's eyes then became more serious and he said, "our two madams were given unnecessary problems and now you guys even ensured to bother His Highness. This is completely unacceptable."
'Why do I feel so threatened right now?' Myers was feeling extra scared for some reason. He knew that he had done everything according to the rules and he shouldn't really be punished for it. But then, what was causing him to be terrified?
Ruben patted Noman's shoulder and said seriously, "you don't need to fight. I alone am enough. Plus, I am feeling hungry while looking at these people here."
Noman was a Seraphim and didn't like wars. Being together for thousands of years, Ruben knew his friend disliked fighting and conflicts and thus he said that.
Hearing that, Noman shook his head and said calmly, "His Highness would've been harmed by these guys. I am angry."
Ruben flashed a big smile as he heard that. It seems he'll see his friend in action today!
At this moment, a courageous council member stood up and said, "wait right there."
Noman and Ruben looked at him and so did everyone else.
Was this guy alright in his head? They all thought. Can't he look at who he was speaking against and ordering? Was he a fool?
The council member ignored everyone's gazes and said, "according to the rules, you can't just come and do as you please. The CNC was formed by the eight Supreme Ranks and not just by one. To do any reform or to do any change here, you'll need to get permission from the other Supreme Ranks."
"Not only that, you also aren't allowed to do anything to us as we are monitored by one main race. As you know, the eight main races take turns to look over the Neutral Continent and currently, it's not the turn of the Vampires but of the Humans."
"You must take permission from the ones in-charge here and you simply cannot do as you please, even if you have orders from that clan."
Noman and Ruben looked at the guy as if he was an idiot. But other than these two, the other council members felt hope and they all cheered for this guy internally. What a smart person he was!
Truly worthy of being a council member!
"Indeed. You can't just do as you please. Not only would you need permission from the ones in-charge, you also need to get approval from the Supreme Ranks of other races to perform any reforms you want here. We've been selected after an arduous process and our race didn't just send us here for show." Another council member said.
"He's right. You should…"
One by one, many people got up and protested. They all hoped to chase away these two people and let them know of their place.
So what if they were from the Vampire Royal Clan? So what if there were rumours that this clan was the strongest in the world?
When dealing with bureaucracy, you need to go through the entire system to make even a small change.
It was thanks to this, these people felt their lives being saved and their previous panic vanished. They all felt slightly confident in themselves and were happy that someone found a solution to their problems.
Listening to everyone so enthusiastically speak, Ruben couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahahaha! You guys think we need permission? Hahahahaha!"
"What's so funny?" One council couldn't help but say hatefully.
"Hahaha! Nothing. Call your friends from your race and tell them this situation. Also, tell the ones in-charge of this situation and ask them to come here. We'll wait till you finish informing them." Ruben said and laughed again.
The council members didn't know what Ruben was upto, but now that they had a chance to escape this situation, they tried their best to do so.
They called their Emperor Rank friends from their races and asked them to inform their Supreme Ranks that there was something up here and that the Vampires sent people to cause trouble.
Also, they needed help and asked for help as well.
"You! You will be finished once the people in-charge arrive." A council member threatened.
"Oh really?" Ruben asked with a slight smile.
"Yes."
Ruben laughed again and said, "then…"
Fuusssshhhhh
BURST!
"Huh?" Ruben was dumbfounded as he saw the guy who he was about to attack get killed by having his body burst apart.
He looked to his side and saw Noman standing beside him and holding a lance and cleaning the blood stains on it.
Noticing Ruben's gaze, Noman simply said in a calm manner,
"I said I was angry."
