Upon hearing Victor's self-introduction, the demi-humans were slightly stunned.
Although they look like humans, having lived in the forest for a long time, their habits are still like those of wild animals.
Information blockage, coupled with the fact that most of the subhumans are almost illiterate.
Even though Victor's live broadcast of that naval battle was once broadcast in various countries.
But this naturally does not include the demi-humans.
The demi-human slaves wouldn't see it, and the demi-humans living in the jungle would only focus their attention on hunting and the dangers of daily life.
Not to mention, how could the demi-humans of the kingdom possibly know the mages of the empire?
Some of the demi-humans who could understand Viktor's words were especially those demi-human slaves who had been rescued.
Their fur stood on end, their eyes were wide open in anger, and their sharp, gleaming teeth were exposed to the air.
Viktor's use of the word "master" made them imagine the various forms of oppression they had suffered.
Even though they had broken free from their constraints with the help of their kin, those painful memories still made the demi-humans feel absolutely oppressed.
Even demi-humans know pain. Once they taste freedom, they can no longer endure imprisonment.
They bared their sharp teeth, stretched their necks, and howled angrily at the gloomy sky amidst the torrential rain.
The melodious cries of wild beasts mingled with the torrential rain, making the air incredibly noisy.
The roars made Viktor frown slightly.
The surrounding downpour seemed to intensify because of his annoyance, with huge raindrops swirling wildly in the wind.
The chaotic raindrops almost completely obscured everyone's view.
It was as if a waterfall had fallen from the sky, shattering completely on the golden earth, exploding into a white spray.
Countless subhumans felt a chill on their ankles, sensing something was wrong.
They looked down and found that the water level in the auction house had risen considerably, even submerging their ankles.
As the water level rose, Viktor's cold voice echoed above everyone's heads:
"Say it again."
"I'll flood you all."
The roars abruptly ceased at that moment.
The visible rise in water level finally silenced the subhumans.
But the eyes hidden in the downpour remained as angry as before.
Tiger Boss also watched the scene before him, his tiger face calm.
It knew that Victor in front of it possessed the power to threaten all of them, the demi-humans.
Moreover, he didn't just talk the talk.
Although this place has been flooded, it will likely cause the nobles of this kingdom to perish along with it.
But Victor is not a member of the Kingdom.
Even if the tiger-man doesn't understand nations, it still knows what a faction is.
Victor and those kingdom people weren't even on the same side, so why would he care about their lives?
But Tiger Boss couldn't just ignore it.
Even if a great flood submerges everything, it can still escape.
But the remaining demi-human brethren will all perish under the flood.
It cannot gamble with Victor.
The arrogant human before it was undoubtedly the strongest mage it had ever seen.
Manipulate the weather to flood cities.
It can even transform itself into flowing water, rendering it powerless.
It is very likely that he is a mage of the same rank as that Grand Duke.
But looking at Victor in front of him, the tiger-man felt a surge of extreme excitement deep inside.
It can clearly feel the heart beating rapidly and the blood rushing through its body to its limbs and brain.
His breathing became heavy and labored, and the muscles in his body bulged slightly.
Even as a sense of powerlessness spread throughout its body, it was incredibly excited—an excitement that made it want to fight.
But the male tiger-man also knew that if a real fight broke out, it didn't know when it would be able to defeat Victor, and perhaps there was no chance of victory at all.
Once a battle begins, it must defeat its opponent in the shortest possible time.
But facing such a powerful mage, this is almost impossible.
If the time drags on and the kingdom's reinforcements arrive, regardless of whether it can defeat the mage before it, it will be difficult to lead the demi-humans to escape the royal city.
After careful consideration, the tiger-man suppressed his excitement.
It even clasped its hands in a gesture of slight respect towards Victor:
"You are not a citizen of the kingdom, and there is no enmity between us."
"We just want to rescue our compatriots and teach these shameless Kingdom people a lesson."
"Let's compromise. If you don't interfere in this matter, we will definitely repay you in the future."
The other noble lords were enraged upon hearing this.
But along with the anger, I also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Some people even plopped down in their seats, their bodies limp.
If Victor doesn't help, then even if all the lords present ganged up on him, they probably wouldn't be a match for this tiger-man.
Of those present, only a handful of earls could be considered powerful.
Most of them were viscounts, and some were wealthy people with no real power.
Those powerful earls and even marquises, whose status was already noble enough, had no need to attend this auction that aimed to enhance aristocratic camaraderie.
Moreover, this is, after all, within the royal city.
No one expected something like this to happen today.
Even King Augustus only brought one Tier 3 Hilda as his bodyguard.
Given the disparity in strength, they were simply no match for that tiger-man.
Not to mention the other demi-humans, who are equally powerful.
