Finn snorted lightly to express his impatience. "So, Vandel, what happened that requires a meeting?"
With a flick of his finger, he closed the lid of the lighter that had lit the flame, lowered his legs from the table, leaned forward, and stared at Vander.
Finn's questioning when they first met and his behavior just now were already extremely disrespectful.
Vander was already fuming, and this provocation escalated his temper. "Is this enough for the development of Zaun?"
He slammed the table with a gloomy face, and his voice became even more dull.
The conference hall fell into silence for a moment.
Pah pah pah…
A few claps broke the silence in the room.
The one clapping was Lanner, who had remained silent until then.
A forced smile appeared on her sallow face, as if it had taken all her strength.
"For the development of Zaun... I haven't heard this in years."
Across from Lanar, Mrs. Voss chuckled hoarsely. "I originally thought the Zaun leader known as the Black Hound had been frightened by the battle in the Upper City. I didn't expect you still remembered your old dreams."
Her tone and the content of her words sounded like a mockery at first, and Vander's face suddenly darkened.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm used to speaking like this and it's hard for me to change it for a while." Voss noticed Vander's expression and explained with a chuckle.
This woman has bad intentions...
The same thought occurred to everyone present.
However, Finn and Bonnie had teasing smiles on their faces, and seemed to be happy to see Vander being humiliated.
Rennie, Barritt and Longfellow all looked unhappy.
Even if they were dissatisfied with Vandel's leadership, they would not allow an outsider to interfere in their internal affairs.
"Aren't you children of Zaun?" Li Lin asked first without waiting for the angry Vander to explode.
Several alchemy barons were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned to Li Lin who was sitting next to Fandel.
"Hey, this iron lump isn't a robot, is it?" Finn twirled the lit lighter with his fingers. "Vander, is this the successor you're training?"
Then, his eyes were stern, and he changed the subject, "It seems that he still has a lot to learn, such as... not interrupting when adults are talking."
"Humph! Finn, you..."
Just as Fandel was about to speak angrily, he felt a hand gently pressing down on his shoulder.
He turned around in surprise, "Li Lin? What are you doing..."
"Let me tell you." Li Lin's mechanical voice came out from the mask.
Then, he slowly stood up and controlled "Infinity" to enter the [Overload Charging] state.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared on the power armor.
Seeing that something was not right, several alchemist barons were shocked and went on alert.
"What... do you still want to take action?" Finn stood up suddenly and took out an alchemical pistol from his arms.
But before either side could take any action, the door creaked again, and a thin man with a single devil-like eye walked straight in.
Outside the door behind him, Benso, who was cursing angrily, Sevika, who had a cold expression on her face, and Vandel's men were stopped by the strong men brought by the man.
"Hey, are you guys chatting?" The man laughed and greeted everyone present.
"Silco..."
