Four people were negotiating when suddenly chaos erupted outside.
Their identities were distinct, and even for negotiations, it was impossible to come alone. This time, they had brought a significant number of followers and guards, although they were essentially of little use.
The four were negotiating inside the palace, while all others were stationed outside.
Under normal circumstances, without special reason, these people would do nothing.
Now that a disturbance had arisen, the four felt somewhat uneasy. But before they could emerge, a fierce aura descended from the sky, cutting open the roof of the palace they were in.
Nearly at the same time, the four counteracted the slashing attack.
Afterward, the faces of all four darkened as they sensed that the strength of this force was not something they could easily resolve. Faced alone, they were no match, and the result could only be suppression by the opponent.
