Lightning Is the Only Way

The Eternal Fire Sect kept denouncing Gravis in public, and Gravis only looked at them with a curious expression.

He found it quite funny that they were publicly insulting him while being in such a place.

If they were anywhere else, Gravis could understand it. After all, in their perception, Gravis wasn't very powerful since they couldn't perceive his Battle-Strength.

But here?

Why would they talk down to someone in such a place?

What if the person they were insulting lost control over themselves?

What then?

However, Gravis also noticed that not everyone was insulting him. There were also some people that kept themselves out of this clash. These people only looked on with interest, but they didn't reveal any of their thoughts with their expressions and gestures.

'They see that they don't have to involve themselves. They can simply stay on the sidelines while other people take risks for them.'

'Quite smart.'

"Why are you still here? Apologize or leave! We don't allow disrespectful people in our Sect!" one person shouted.

"Yeah, we aren't narrow-minded people, and we can accept apologies. Apologize or leave!"

More and more people echoed these sentences, but Gravis looked at the ones that were not shouting.

Some of these onlookers only frowned. Some of them looked at Gravis with evaluating expressions. Some of them even straight-up entered their home without saying anything. Others were only looking away as if all of this had nothing to do with them.

"I'm willing to pay 100 million God Stones if you can overlook what this person has done."

Gravis had just received a voice transmission from one of the onlookers.

Gravis looked over, and he saw a young man with white hair and intense eyes. He had been the one that had just made an offer to Gravis.

'Interesting,' Gravis thought. 'He's smart. He realized that I can't be a simple person, and he immediately offered me money to overlook his servant's actions.'

'He is probably one of the leading members of one of the factions. From what I can see, he probably ordered his person to join in on the tirade to appear compliant with public opinion, but he knows the risk of it. In essence, he offered me money so that his faction wouldn't receive any damage while some other factions would lose some members.'

"I can offer you a set of any level seven Law Comprehension Life Fruit if you ignore this member," another onlooker transmitted to Gravis.
