Chapter 200 The Conclusion
The meeting went on for three straight hours. Everyone was tense and was giving their own suggestions and opinions on the matter. Although eliminating Shin was the idea that was supported the most, there were a few other ideas that caught everyone's attention.
Some wanted Shin as a pet because they thought that all he had was strength which they could outclass easily.
Others thought that they could use Shin as a puppet to destroy other kingdoms that get in their way - of course, these were something that deeply rooted down to their personal lives. It had nothing to do with others' welfare.
The unknown head probably realized their plans and decided to halt any further discussions after a long three hours.
"That's enough." - just these words were more than enough to render everyone silent.
The entire hall was engulfed with silence all of a sudden. It was no surprise since this would happen quite often, every year.
But yes, the head seemed somewhat interested in this matter as well. Although his identity was completely unknown, the respect for him was great so everyone quieted down to hear his wordings.
"I have decided."
He didn't ask for anyone else's opinion anymore. After hearing all their thoughts, he decided upon something which was supposedly going to be the decision or the end result of the meeting. No one would even dare to question him anyway.
"We will leave the wolf alone."
"Sir?", although no one questioned, they seemed surprised by the decision.
'Leaving such a dangerous beast alone?'
'What is sir even thinking?'
"My foresight tells me that he is going to be someone that will save humanity, in fact, the entire world in the near future."
The moment he said this, everyone stopped thinking. Their previous thoughts changed completely.
*gulp*
'No way, did he really use foresight for such a matter?'
So, here's the thing, even if the Head's identity was basically unknown, some of his powers were out in the open. Yes, they knew a few things about him which included some of his skills or powers, and ut of them, the skill 'Foresight' was special.
It was a skill that he stumbled upon by chance - as the story goes and everyone believes. He is free to use that but why was everyone shocked to hear him saying that?
It was simple, the skill foresight had limited use because of the vast future that it could show. To be precise, it posed a huge threat to the user - the user's lifespan will be reduced.
Also, he could use the skill foresight only twice a year - this has nothing to do with the number of meetings a year.
That was why everyone was shocked because he used the skill that could essentially tell about the future on a mere beast based on rumors.
"Sir, please, don't use that skill on such trivial matters.", said one of the many men.
"I support his plea. It was a waste to use on such a trivial matter, Sir."
"Trivial?"
"You mean to say, saving the world is a trivial matter?", he asked.
Everyone shut their mouths yet again and concealed their thoughts. His words were just too dominant.
"If the world can be saved because of this small beast then I'm more than ready to support him."
"It was just a doubt because 'His' resurrection and the arrival of the news of such a beast coincided, but now I'm sure that the Supreme Celestials have selected this individual to bestow their powers."
"What!?"
"The Supreme Celestials?"
All of them were baffled by this deduction. The same was with the Five Greats including the Head. He was surprised too while saying this.
"I see, but now that we know this, what do we do Sir?"
"Do we support him, or do we just stay out of his way.", Sky asked.
"I think, we should let him be."
"According to my foresight, he will soon establish a nation of his own and after attaining a human form, he will surely come to us."
*gulp*
'Attaining a human form?'
'This-'
'It's as if he is walking the same path as the previous Wolf God from the tales...'
'But attaining a human form, I wonder, if he really can do that.', some of them started to think deeply on this matter as soon as the Head mentioned the attainment of a human form.
"Make sure to treat him well because no matter what, he mustn't be angered."
And that was the last thing the Head said right after which the meeting was adjourned.
About 23 members agreed with what the Head said while the remaining 6 excluding the Head, disagreed with him for some reason.
It's not that they were opposing him, but they thought that the Head was relying too much on the skill foresight after all Foresight cannot show the exact truth or footage of the future. It has only a 30% proficiency of showing the exact future so some of them failed to accept that they would have to bow or treat a wild beast like he was someone higher than them.
Everyone left one by one with their own thoughts and worries. Some were kings of some nations while others were renowned fighters so they had their own concerns too.
Regardless, the one who was concerned the most was none other than Sky.
'I wonder if this really is alright...'
'Leaving him would be the right thing to do right?'
'Although I did think rationally, I have my own worries as well, after all, my kingdom is just next to Loria.'
While thinking that, Sky left the hall and was probably one of the last to leave. Now, only the Great Five remained inside.
"Sigh looks like all of them left.", the Head sighed.
"Yeah, but I must say, you are good at acting.", the Ice Queen said while laughing gently.
"Please, don't humor me. You are way better than me."
"The same applies to all of you.", this was remarked to the three others as well.
"We thank you for praising us, Sir.", all four of them bowed down as if they were respecting him.
"Will you stop teasing me? Sigh, let's drop the act and get to the main point."
"Yes.", the four of them replied in unison and took their seats.
"What do you think about this being whose name even we can't say?", his eyes turned red and started to glow.
