Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2797 1534: The Turbulent Banquet (Part 2)

Observing that Leo Ray remained utterly fearless despite being confronted by two half-step Tier 7 entities, both the Half-Titan Ruler Hollis II and the Stone Giant Chieftain Lila exhibited faint expressions of displeasure.

Although their arrival was recent, every action taken by Leo Ray had been under their watchful observation from the moment he entered the Shadow Market.

From the beginning, the Human Emperor had acted with relentless force. It was only when engaging Rax and later Payton that he displayed his true capabilities, preventing them from gaining any upper hand and instead forcing them into unfavorable trade-offs.

Yet now, standing before the immense, unchecked power of the Half-Titans and Stone Giants, the Human Emperor still chose to stand his ground, a defiance that completely defied their expectations.

"I must admit, the Human Emperor is far more unpredictable than we anticipated. Could it be that he truly possesses hidden trump cards sufficient to challenge six supreme powerhouses?"

A flicker of intrigue crossed Lila’s stunning eyes as she scanned Leo Ray with intense curiosity.

One must realize that if Loris and Sina were in his position, merely facing a single peak Tier 6 expert would reveal the crushing disparity between third-class factions and second-tier organizations.

It is no exaggeration to suggest that if they were not perpetually checking one another, either the Stone Giants or the Half-Titans could easily crush any third-class power in their entirety.

However, because the territories held by third-class factions are desolate and devoid of high-grade magic ore or significant natural treasures, they simply had no interest in occupying them.

For the Human Clan to enter the Outer Region and dare to stand before two second-tier powers with such bold, arrogant declarations is nothing short of a massive joke.

"Or, perhaps, this Human Emperor has已經 exhausted his options and is merely putting on a brave display to mask his vulnerability."

As this thought crossed her mind, Lila’s gaze hardened, her eyes narrowing as she glared at Leo Ray with fierce intent.

Regardless, the Human Emperor had shown none of the subservience expected of an inferior, and naturally, the superiors in the Stone Giant and Half-Titan camps were determined to make him pay for such insolence.

Beside Lila, Hollis II mirrored this aggressive stance; his clouded, aged eyes were filled with malice as he kept his focus locked on Leo Ray, clearly prepared to intervene physically at a moment's notice.

Witnessing the tense standoff between Leo Ray and the leaders of these two second-tier factions, Administrator I felt cold perspiration drenching his back.

He was keenly aware that if any tragedy befell Leo Ray’s party at this location, he would face grave consequences, especially with four other administrators monitoring the situation closely.

"Haha, honorable guests, please, let us maintain our composure. This is, after all, the Banquet Hall, and space is quite constrained. Should you unleash your full cultivation power here, I fear for the safety of my humble Shadow Market."

After a brief moment of deliberation, Administrator I hurried forward, offering a diplomatic smile as he spoke: "The regions outside the city limits are another matter entirely; they are vast and barren, perfect for such displays."

Upon hearing this, both factions frowned slightly, as the implication was obvious: move the conflict elsewhere; do not carry it out within these walls.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we exercise perfect control over our capabilities."

Hollis II gave a curt nod to the administrator before casting a cold glance at Leo Ray, adding, "Besides, dealing with such pathetic, insignificant existences will hardly cause a stir."

"Precisely. Does Your Excellency truly doubt the extent of our power?"

Lila replied with a refined smile, appearing completely unmoved.

"Hehe, my dear Chieftain, that is not it at all."

As the two refused to back down, more sweat beaded on Administrator I’s brow, knowing his career would be finished if Leo Ray were struck down here.

With no other avenue, Administrator I had a sudden surge of inspiration and changed the subject: "By the way, since you both graciously invited the Human Majesty and his entourage here, there must be matters of importance to discuss—why not start with that?"

"Indeed, you didn't go through the effort of arranging such elaborate invitations just for the sake of showing off, did you?"

Seeing an opening, Loris stepped forward, adding his voice to the sentiment.

"Just say what you intend to say. Why waste time with these haughty airs?"

Sina furrowed her brows and spoke with blunt urgency.

Following their lead, other powerful figures began to chime in, slowly gathering closer together.

One must understand that it wasn’t only Administrator I suffering from nerves; the champions of the three alliances were equally anxious, as their opponents were terrifying, and most felt uncertain about what secret power Leo Ray might still have hidden up his sleeve.

While Leo Ray’s bravery had certainly won their respect, many among them harbored secret suspicions that the Emperor might simply be bluffing.

"I originally intended to address that later, but since the matter has been raised, I suppose there is no harm in changing the schedule."

Lila exchanged a meaningful look with Hollis II before sweeping her gaze over Leo Ray, Loris, and Sina, arching her brows slightly: "Honored guests, surely you are already aware of our purpose, are you not?"

"Could it be that our union to eradicate the Witch Demon has left you feeling uneasy?"
