Chapter 2416 - Speak Less (1) (2/2)

In such a big city… You didn't have a single person capable of laying a silencing array? Even one of the star grade would do, it didn't have to be of the immortal grades.

What this essentially told Dyon was that these people called themselves array alchemists, yet they didn't have the faintest understanding of how the two concepts were meant to play off and build off one another.

Dyon preferred to call himself an alchemist, this much was true. But the reality was that his knowledge and skill in formation theory was no less robust and profound. He just didn't enjoy its use as much. He only used it as a means toward concocting the best pills imaginable.

It was obvious that Venerable Piers was trying to figure out just what happened here.

When he saw the hook-nosed woman being carried by two of the five bronzed armored guards, his first instinct was to unleash his rage onto her. It seemed obvious that she was the culprit, especially since he had heard her screech earlier. It was actually because of that screech that he was put in a precarious position to begin with. If it wasn't for that, Dyon's actions wouldn't have so easily influenced him.

However, when his gaze landed on Dyon's amused expression, a baleful aura billowed from his body.

A mortal dared laugh at him?

His peeling and singed skin trembled, revealing tender and bleeding skin beneath. His black face was quickly turning red for a reason other than his emotions. However, Dyon actually spoke before he had a chance to unleash his rage.

”If you'd like someone to blame, you can blame your receptionist.”

The young woman gawked. ”… N-no Venerable P --.”

”I came here to take your certification exam, yet after standing here for so long, she actually ignored me. Don't tell me you're unaware of the consequences for such a thing.”

The young receptionist was stunned once again. How could one person be so shameless? He had bȧrėly stopped at her desk for more than a second before his palm slammed downward. How was this considered 'standing here for so long'?

But, when she heard the latter half of his words, a deep shudder ran through her frail body. Maybe the most shocking thing was that it ran through Venerable Piers' body as well…
