Merit (II)
The lively atmosphere instantly became silent, replaced by whispers echoing like flies.
Klaus made a controversial statement. Elizabeth was an S-Class awakener as well as the leader of a large guild. A person of her caliber had unquestionable credibility. There's no way she's telling lies.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth. "You son of a bitch."
The woman took the stage with bulging eyes. She even rudely took the microphone from the Mayor's hand.
As she came face to face with Klaus, she took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure, but her chest contained the overwhelming anger.
