His eyes snapped toward me, anger flashing across his face.
"You did something."
"That's quite an accusation."
"You interfered with it somehow."
What a dumbass.
He just dug his own grave. Now it was time to put my acting skills to work.
I widened my eyes and looked offended.
"So you're saying I managed to destroy an artifact that you claim was made by the Immortal King? The most knowledgeable being in this world?"
Aeden's expression stiffened.
I didn't give him a chance to answer.
"And somehow, I managed to do it with several Overlord Ranks standing right here?"
I gestured toward the others in the room, making sure to focus on the High Priest from earlier and Erazel's group.
A few people shifted uncomfortably, while others looked downright offended. No matter what world you were in, gaining enough power and authority was bound to give you some sense of pride.
