As a Magic Lord, Andrew was particularly sensitive to the happenings around him, a significant trait of his profession.
After breaking through to Tier Four, this sensitivity had improved considerably.
Noticing the subtly unusual atmosphere and hearing the veiled admonition from the high-ranking member of the Commerce Association,
Andrew thought for a moment and roughly guessed what was going on.
After some contemplation, Andrew did not get angry and first answered the other party's question calmly, saying, "Yes, I am quite eager to visit the Royal Court. As for staying in Warm Fire City and doing my duty..." Andrew paused and smiled, "Thank you for your suggestion, but as the lord of Wildfire Territory, I don't think my duties are tied to Warm Fire City, do you?"
When he said this, Andrew's expression was calm, his tone polite, yet his words carried a hint of sharpness.
As Andrew finished speaking, many high-ranking members of the Commerce Association present turned pale!
