Still, no one spoke.
A hush like the dead winter? Or was it still distrust? Li Ming also remained silent, and the entire Iron Throne Hall plunged into stillness.
The Azure Dragon's move to directly breach the Iron Throne's restrictions truly shocked many, making Blackbeard's heart race.
The Azure Dragon appeared calm and unaffected, yet they were the first in all these years to act beyond the rules of the Iron Throne.
The intimidation prepared for this Divine Craftsman hadn't been unleashed, and instead, it was he who startled them.
He murmured softly: "The overarching plan has already reached its conclusion. As for the smaller plans, we typically don't notify each other unless it becomes absolutely necessary."
"Is that so…" Li Ming sounded enlightened, yet his tone soon shifted to a distant coldness as he said, "Or perhaps, even now, you all still don't trust me?"
His voice echoed within the Iron Throne Hall.
