Chapter 1177: Preparations.
Listening to the conversation he had with Azathoth, Ruby spoke:
"Darling, calm down."
"Oh, my dear, I am very calm."

It was already a miracle that they backed down, and if Victor were not who Victor was, they would not have asked permission. They would just do what was necessary and leave. This was the sin of the weak: you could only grit your teeth while the strong did whatever they wanted.
"Very well, we will continue with what we were planning."
