Baron scoffed, shaking his head.
"Well, I still pass. I've heard enough, and I have no interest in discussing this any further."
He turned away from the table, seemingly ready to leave.
Illumnar watched him without moving. His golden eyes followed Baron's retreating figure, his expression remaining as composed as ever.
"Then you should understand something, Director Baron."
Baron paused.
Illumnar's halo shimmered faintly above his head.
"If you choose to leave this place without accepting our Lord's authority, then you will be making yourself out to be an enemy of my Lord."
The room fell silent.
There was no anger in Illumnar's voice, nor did he sound particularly eager to fight. He simply delivered the statement as though he were informing Baron of an unavoidable consequence.
Baron slowly turned his head, his crimson eye settling on the young dragon.
"Heh. Is that supposed to scare me?"
Illumnar didn't answer immediately.
