Chapter 347
The four of them watched Councilor Samuel call up his younger counterpart, Councilor Jolene.
She was obviously confused as to why Samuel wanted to call for a last-minute full assembly, but her insistence that she was going to come to talk to him in person caused him to break out in a cold sweat, fearfully looking up at Matt and Liz.
It was so dramatic that Matt had to wonder what he had been told to be so fearful of them. Or was it just the natural fear of someone who had grown up not knowing of cultivators?
Councilor Jolene walked in and stopped upon seeing the interlopers to Councilor Samuel’s office. Cato and Isabella were invisible, of course, but Matt and Liz looked quite imposing on their own.
Her back stiffened and she opened her mouth to call for security, but Matt gently pulled her into the room and closed the door with his Concept.
Samuel thankfully started speaking the moment the door closed, though with how much of a rush he was in, Matt wasn’t sure it was entirely coherent to someone who didn’t already understand.
Liz raised a hand mid-ramble and Samuel’s mouth clicked shut hard enough to crack a tooth. The man trembled at the upraised hand like it was the guillotine that when he descended would spell the end of his life.
A thought from Matt healed the tooth before the pain could even register for the older man. He and Liz shared a look at the obvious fear the man felt, but they were on a countdown.
Liz looked to Councilor Jolene and spoke in her local language thanks to their [AI] translating for them.
