"Satisfied?"
Upon hearing his wife's question, the old merman's joyful expression abruptly vanished, and he snorted coldly:
"What's this compared to the humiliation humans have brought upon the ten noble families of our kind? This is hardly revenge! At most, it's just collecting a bit of interest!"
"Oliver..."
Seeing her husband, who became increasingly unable to let go of past grudges as he aged, the crowned mermaid couldn't help but remind him:
"The current Clearing Bureau is not what it used to be... If it were the old Clearing Bureau, a little tantrum might not matter, as they were too busy dealing with other foreign deities wanting to descend upon the world, and wouldn't easily start a war with us.
But since that Food God became a director, the Clearing Bureau has become exponentially more aggressive. Recently, anyone daring to reach out to the mortal world suffered greatly, and the Overlords of the Dead Realm even lost their lives. You'd better not..."
"Hmph!"
