Chapter 592 Someone Who Don’t Kick People When They Are Down

The moment Ethan entered the Conference Room, countless eyes shot onto his person.

But the young man seemed unaffected, even walking with confidence as if he was already used to this kind of treatment.

Those who were seeing Ethan for the first time couldn’t help but observe him carefully. At first, they thought that he was just an ordinary teenager who would suddenly get cold feet after being stared at by hundreds of people.

Contrary to their expectations, Ethan’s steps were firm, and there were no signs of anxiety in his actions.

This impressed some of the representatives from the four kingdoms of the Shire Continent.

“Sit here, Ethan,” Professor Rinehart said as he pointed at the seat beside him.

Ethan nodded and took his place between Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret.

They were seated at the center of the Conference Room, with everyone surrounding them from all sides.

The King of Men, Beastkin, and Dwarves looked at him with solemn expressions on their faces.

The Queen of Elves and the Queen of Fairies, on the other hand, looked at the young man with a smile.

They were the leaders of each race, and they had traveled thousands of miles just to see him.

Everyone came for one purpose, and one purpose only.

To discuss the information that Ethan received from the Fomorians and the threat they posed to their Domains.

“I know that some of you came here for reasons that are known only to you,” Professor Rinehart said. “So, before we start the conference, Ethan is willing to answer any question that is unrelated to the Fomorians. However, the questions must be important and of relevance. Raise your hand if you want your voices to be heard.”

Ethan knew that there would be inquiries that he wouldn’t be able to escape from.

Putting this into consideration, he asked Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret to allow others to question him before the matter of the Fomorians was discussed.

He also understood that his proposal might not change the minds of those who hated him.Get latest novel chapters on novelbjn(.)c/om

But it was also a good way to let the rest of the people gathered here learn the truth and later disseminate the facts among the masses. That way, they wouldn’t be led by the nose by those who planned to control any and all information related to him.

Just as he expected, dozens of hands rose up, and one of them was Zack Kerr's, making King Austen, as well as Professor Rinehart, frown.

But since the one who would have the power to choose whose question he wanted to answer was Ethan, they didn’t make any move and simply waited for the question and answer session to unfold.

“Zack Kerr, you may ask your question,” Ethan said calmly.

His first choice made Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret glance at him, caught off guard by Ethan’s boldness.

Neither of them knew that Ethan knew who Langston’s father was, but after seeing how calm he was, they realized that he might have a plan in mind.

The Dwarf King remained silent, while King Austen sighed and glanced in Zack Kerr’s direction.

“Get out,” King Austen ordered. “Or I will demote your rank once more.”

Back then, the King of Eastshire didn’t dare to directly antagonize the Nobles of his Kingdom. Zack Kerr and his faction had held considerable power, and if he dealt with them without a plan, the chances of a backlash were high.

But things were different now.

The moral high ground had shifted to his side, and he had the support of the populace of the Kingdom.

Not only that, but the Magistratus, which had always taken a neutral stance in the affairs of the Kingdom, had actively dealt a blow to Zack Kerr’s faction, with some of their men being sent to prison.

Because of this, the power that their faction had built up over the years crumbled. King Austen naturally took advantage of this vulnerability and went in for the kill.

Not only did he demote Zack Kerr of his rank, he also confiscated his lands and other properties.

The King did the same thing to the Nobles belonging to his faction, and thanks to this, they no longer posed a serious threat to his rule.

In fact, in order to save what remained of their honor and dignity, the Nobles he punished pledged their full support to the King, forcing others to do the same.

Lord Edmond handled the aftermath, and he made sure that none of these Nobles would be able to defy the Royal Family again.

Jeers, booing, and laughter, reverberated in the Conference Room, making Zack Kerr turn pale.

He thought that he would be able to put Ethan in his place by accusing him right in front of everyone, but the young man reversed the accusation to him, making him the laughing stock of everyone in the conference room.

Left with no choice, he left with a beet-red face out of shame and embarrassment.

Ethan knew that there were other people like Zack Kerr inside the room, so he made him an example of what might happen if people were to attack him.

Perhaps, knowing that the same thing might happen to them, the people who wanted to accuse him no longer asked him any questions.

Those who did didn’t tackle the topic about him acquiring the Epic Legacy from Queen Celestia.

Once the question and answer portion was over, he finally brought up the real topic of the discussion, which were the plans of the Fomorians.

“More than a month ago, the Fomorians managed to step foot on the Shire Continent,” Ethan stated, which made everyone inside the room turn silent. “They were the scouts who were sent here for two reasons.

“The first reason was to see if the Firbolgs and their descendants were thriving in the Shire Continent.”

Ethan paused for a bit before saying the second reason.

“The second reason, which is their main purpose for coming to the Shire Continent, is to find one of the ancient treasures that was passed to the Firbolgs by the Tuatha De Danann.

“It was none other than Lia Fail, or better known as the Stone of Destiny. The Fomorians are looking for it so that they can elect a King, the one who will lead their forces and allow them to rise to the surface world once again.”
