The Almighty Dragon General

Then, James produced another bottle of Chaos Absinthe and slowly sipped it.
Quintinus exploded once more, “That ruthless bastard! He’s clearly mocking us!” He turned his gaze toward Yefrenes.
“If you guys won't do it, PH take care of this bastard myself..." Yefrenes caught his arm just as Quintinus strode past her to pounce on James.
“Can you just calm down?” Yefrenes bellowed.
“It’s not like we hold any grudges against each other.
Why do we have to make things hard for an innocent young man from the Haleth Realm?" Quintinus, Amos, and Quintus were all flabbergasted by Yefrenes’ reaction.
When she turned to face James again, Yefrenes had a look of approval in her eyes.
“As expected of the Chosen One who has the Nine Caeloros Gods’ recognition, you have quite the personality.
“We can be at ease knowing that the Haleth Realm is under your governance.” There were three underlying messages in those words.

Firstly, Yefrenes praised James while displaying her generosity as a Caeloros God.
Secondly, she implied it was not just because of Frona that James had received the Chosen One’s title.
All nine Caeloros Gods approved of it.
Therefore, James should be grateful to all of them, not just to Frona.
Lastly, she clarified their stance.
Yefrenes and the other two Caeloros Gods supported James in becoming the lord of the Haleth Realm.
They did not come to stop him from taking that position.
Yefrenes managed to convey so much by saying so little.
James finally realized why she was the second most influential among the Nine Caeloros Gods, after Frona.
Yefrenes definitely had what it takes to challenge Frona for the Caeloros Supreme’s position.
James’ eyes narrowed.
“Well then, can I know why the three Caeloros Gods have come to the Haleth Realm?” Before Yefrenes could respond, Amos stepped forward and called aloud, “Enough with the chatter! “Hand over Frona and the Caeloros Supreme Scepter! Then, you can do whatever you want with the Haleth Realm.” “That’s right!” Quintinus hissed.
“We have no interest in getting involved with the Haleth Realm’s affairs.
Just hand over Frona and the scepter.
Then, we’ll leave!” Yefrenes was staring daggers at those two.
She could not help but wish she could choke Quintinus and Amos to death.
