Zero!

Silence and awkwardness took over the room as Fyu escorted Ryu out of the room.

Well, it was only natural considering that the most powerful person, in politics and strength, in the room got mad.

However, it seems that the silence was getting really awkward as one of the strangers, a man who seems to be in his late 30s, turned his head to look at Lionel and spoke.

"Now, now, Lionel. Aren't you being too harsh on Ryu?" That man said, and his voice resounded out in this place.

This made the other people in this room turn their heads towards the man.

After all, he basically broke the silence when the mood was really sour and heated.

Even Desire and Jarina didn't know what to do in this situation, and yet, a man...suddenly talked all chummy with Lionel.

It was unbelievable.

"C-captain..." One of the strangers to Desire spoke as he tried to stop the middle-aged man.
