The conference had been reduced to an exchange of dark history. From the events being exposed, one could tell that both sides had made thorough preparations. Some of them were even bringing up others wetting their bed back when they were three years old, and they were using any tactics they could to gain the upper hand.
The two officials responsible for recording the contents of the conference were trying their best to repress their laughter; their faces were completely flushed red. They had undertaken similar roles for many conferences in the past, but they had never encountered such a situation. Their handwriting was already becoming a little unsteady, and they didn't know whether they should even be recording the things that were being said.
Even Michael wore a peculiar expression upon seeing this. However, his exemplary self-control ensured that he didn't laugh out loud, and he continued to listen in silence.
So even adults can be so cheeky. That Uncle Alex and Auntie Irina sure are impressive to be able to teach all of them a lesson, though. I wonder what they look like. Maybe I'll get to meet them in the future? If only I could be as powerful as them in the future. Amy supported her chin with her little hands and looked on with a curious expression.
As for Yabemiya and Sally, they had already lowered their heads to hide their mirth. They had never seen a bunch of 9th-tier powerful beings exposing each other's dark history; it was hilarious to watch.
As expected, this conference is not progressing in a normal manner. Come to think of it, Mag Alex and Irina sure were cheeky back in the day. Sounds like they've been wreaking havoc all the way from the dragon island to the Demon Islands, and that's probably only the tip of the iceberg. Mag was quite glad that he no longer bore any semblance to Mag Alex. Otherwise, if someone were to recognize him, he would be in a lot of trouble.
The roast continued for over half an hour, and it slowly turned into what seemed more like a nostalgic gathering between friends before everyone fell into a peculiar silence.
They looked at the people sitting across from them, and all of them had mixed emotions in their hearts. Who would have thought that their enemies would know so much about them?
"Do you guys not have a conscience? How could you bring up such a painful event?" Tauros looked at the three dragons with an agonized expression. To this very day, he was still having nightmares about being chased by a stampeding herd of porcupine battle boars.
"Those two were responsible for all of this. Thankfully, that arrogant guy is already dead, and that demonic woman has been locked up." Fox gritted his teeth; it was quite clear that he still hadn't forgotten about his humiliating streaking ordeal.
"I think it's quite a pity. The world was so boring, and we finally got two interesting people, only for the world to wipe them away. How unfair." In contrast, Dracula heaved a forlorn sigh.
"Hmm?" Everyone turned to look at Dracula in unison.
"Dracula, do you want to eat grass again?" Gustav was quite perplexed.
"Hell no! Us vampires will never eat vegetables!" Dracula was very adamant.
Dracula had a wistful look in his eyes as he then mused, "It really is a pity, though. I heard that Alex was surrounded and killed in a sneak attack, and there were demons among his killers. As a demon myself, I feel ashamed that my brethren took part in something like this. If you can't fight someone fair and square like a gentleman, then don't fight them at all. In my eyes, Alex was a fine gentleman."
"He was a man of justice, and one of the most powerful of his time. I admit that Alex was the most exceptional human I've ever seen." Jinx nodded in agreement with Dracula's words.
Fox said coldly, "Someone like him was destined to die a painful death. He deserved it for hunting down dragons in a pursuit of glory."
"I don't see anything wrong with what he did. He only killed the scum that brought shame upon our dragon race; they deserved to die anyway." Havid pursed his lips in a disdainful
manner.
"Even so, their judgment should have been delivered by us dragons. A puny human like him had no right to deliver judgment on us mighty dragons." Fox turned to Havid with gritted teeth.
"They chose to fight Alex, and he killed them fair and square; what else is there to be said? As a dragon, you must have enough pride to be graceful even in defeat. You look like a petty snake right now, Fox. Where is your pride as a dragon? Do you not know why the dragon island never considered hunting him down despite all of the dragons he killed?" Havid immediately fired back with a disdainful look.
"Havid! Do you want to declare war on us Frost Dragons?" Fox glowered at Havid with rage simmering in his eyes.
"Heh, don't flatter yourself. You have no right to challenge us Fire Dragons on behalf of the Frost Dragons. Even if a battle were to eventuate, we Fire Dragons have nothing to fear!" Havid was not backing down in the slightest.
The atmosphere quickly became tense once again, and it was as if a battle would break out at any moment.
The three demons looked on with dumbstruck expressions. They hadn't even instigated anything yet, but the dragons were about to have a civil war!
Those two legendary figures that stirred up the entire continent a few years ago really were a taboo topic. Whenever their names were mentioned, conflicting opinions would always arise, and conflict was almost inevitable.
Right at that moment, a voice broke the heavy silence. "Um... Excuse me, can we bring in the dishes now?"
Everyone turned to look at the kitchen's entrance in unison.
Fox's expression immediately darkened, but he forced himself not to flare up with rage.
All of the other dragons and demons were also quite displeased to have their conference interrupted. That human was the father of Krassu's disciple, but he was still just a human chef without any power.
"Some of the ingredients had been prepared quite a while ago, and the flavor won't be as good if there's any further delay." Mag stood at the entrance to the kitchen with an apologetic expression. It wasn't that he wanted to interrupt the conference; the fact of the matter was the dishes like the tofu pudding and roujiamo would lose their texture after a while, thereby severely hampering the culinary experience.
"The conference is going nowhere anyway, so let's have some food first. I hope you can all understand that you're attending a conference between demons and dragons. If you have any internal issues, go and iron them out when you get back." Michael took a glance at everyone before turning to Mag, and nodding as he said, "Bring in the dishes, Mr. Mag."
"Yes." Mag nodded before entering the kitchen, and he was followed by Yabemiya and Sally.
"As a vampire, I would never eat food cooked by a human, and I would never eat vegetables. Fresh blood is my sole pursuit." Dracula leaned back in his seat with a determined expression.
"Hello, this is the savory tofu pudding."
A clear crisp voice sounded as a bowl of savory tofu pudding was gently placed in front of him.
