Chapter 459 - Stand-off
Chapter 459 – Stand-off
His mana eyes could only perceive a few mana cores that were at the Lique stage. Other than that everyone was at the Prismar stage.
Because of that, it was obvious that the majority of big clans had brought their highest authorities to the grand meeting.
If Jason was not wrong, every big clans' patriarch should be there, in addition to some important guests.
Shane was strong but unfortunately not powerful enough to be on par with the big clans that had more than 50 years to absorb mana while he had to escape from a few clans' pursuit.
Furthermore, they weren't deemed as important enough to attend the grand meeting.
As such, they were considered anomalies, and it was only because of the special stance they had in a few big clans that Jason's masters had been allowed to attend the meeting.
However, Jason shouldn't have thought too much about the reasoning of his masters attending the grand meeting because he entered the hall at which the grand meeting was held completely unprepared.
He had only changed into a set of formal clothes and couldn't even comb through his short hair that had only regrown a little bit.
Nevertheless, his appearance was still superior to the majority of guests, and there should only be a few that looked better than him.
This would be mainly because they wore better clothes or had a better hairstyle, but Jason couldn't care less.
His already good appearance had further improved after the primal Celestia bloodline awakening, and there was no need to hide his looks.
Yet, instead of attracting the attention of the others through his looks, Jason received the most attention due to the fact that he entered the grand meeting with two individuals from the Ariyor race.
Fasro had requested to postpone the meeting for a few minutes and the reason was none other than Jason!
As such, everyone stared at him. His golden-silverish eyes and the tattoo above his right eye highlighted his appearance further, making him interesting.
Other than his appearance, most clans and sect patriarchs and matriarchs focused on investigating his combat prowess.
"More than 20 liquefied drops of mana and he should be less than 20 years old, not bad I guess!"
There was only one comment, and it was loud to be heard by everyone.
Except for this comment, nobody dared to say anything and it was only when Shane pointed at the chair next to him that Jason had also stopped investigating everyone's exact combat prowess.
At the same time, he had wanted to figure out who the Blood sect patriarch was.
He had to investigate his arch enemy's strongest force after all!
Jason took the seat next to Shane and the Shiabi clan patriarch, who smiled lightly before he averted his attention back to the grand meeting.
There were only a few gazes that stayed on him after his mana core rank had been evaluated.
However, those that looked at him were more interested in other things than his mana core rank!
Only one gaze bothered Jason extremely.
It was that of a middle-aged man with brown hair, a mana core with three solidified prismarine crystals, and transmuted mana that looked similar to that he had seen during the big-three school tournament!
'A psychokinesis affinity?' He mumbled inwardly before he stared straight into the middle-aged man's silver eyes that seemed to try figuring out every single detail about his entire existence.
At that moment, goosebumps covered his body and Jason instantly knew what the person sitting on the other side of the huge table was doing!
'He is scanning my mana core's size and fluctuations!'
Jason was able to notice this pretty easily because the mana fluctuations around one's eyes were, under normal circumstances, balanced and similar to the rest of the body.
However, mana eyes were naturally attracting mana, accumulating more mana around the eyes than the remaining body.
Adding the fact that the person opposite him was evidently utilizing more of his mana to circulate it through his eyes told Jason that a person similar to himself was sitting in front of him!
The said person was as astonished as Jason had been, because Nathan Silver, who was the leader of the [Heaven's Eyes] sect had never seen anyone with eyes like Jason had.
'They should be at an even higher grade as my superior grade mana eyes are!' Until now, there had only been three people with greater mana eyes than he had and Nathan couldn't believe that he encountered the fourth person!
A trace of the guild could be seen in his silver eyes, but this dispersed quickly as he told himself that everything had been a necessary deed.
Jason noticed that something with the silver-eyed person was different from others as his mana eyes seemed to have undergone an adverse metamorphosis.
At least that was what Jason was able to tell when he saw the tiny mana veins within the middle-aged man's mana eyes that were thicker than others.
This might as well have been an attempt to strengthen his mana eyes, but Jason was relatively sure that something must have gone wrong.
However, before he and Nathan could continue staring at each other, Jason saw something out of the corner of his eyes that attracted him.
The grand meeting might have already started but Jason was sure that nobody would bother about his existence, let alone ask him about his opinion.
That didn't mean he would refrain from voicing out his opinion if the other big clans were trying to do something foolish.
Yet, this shouldn't happen because there was a reason for the big clans to survive the mana outbreak and other incidents!
"I'll only claim the Ifrytor at and below the Late-Lique stage!!" He mumbled towards himself which was heard by both Shane and the Shiabi clan patriarch.
This caused both of them to look at him and Shane could only shake his head thinking that his disciple was unreasonable.
The Shiabi clan patriarch recalled Jason's behavior after the Ifrytor had tricked them, and it was only obvious that Jason wanted to take revenge!
However, it looks like he was overestimating himself!
Nevertheless, instead of saying something, the Shiabi clan patriarch remained silent.
He decided to pay attention to the grand meeting and what Jason would do once the topic about the coming war's distribution of clans and whom they were supposed to fight, would begin.
This was probably one of the most important topics the grand meeting would cover because it was highly likely that the big clans that were supposed to fight against the common foreign races and Drake clan were to receive the most casualties than others.
Meanwhile, the big clans that would fight against other suppressed big clans wouldn't have such an issue because their casualties should be much lower in comparison.
The suppressed big clans were already weakened and their morale was also low! As such it was likely that every big clan wanted to fight against them.
Jason was aware of this and it was obvious that the discussion was the first hurdle for Argos' alliance to overcome!
There were also other topics one had to solve, but almost all of them were about the big battle that would happen soon!
It was not difficult to listen to everyone intently and Jason was trying to find the best solution to the biggest problems they had to face right now!
These problems were the Burane race and the plummeted morale originating from their mysterious existence!
