The ninth floor has been paying attention. As for the people on the second floor, things are getting tenser.
Azief look at Gabe that tries to remove his hand and tries to run away for him to no avail. And even though he did not look around he could still sense people are leaving the tavern
To him, this is even better.
Azief on the other hand did not care whether people stay or go. After all, he wanted to draw out the people of this tavern.
In other words, he is like a Karen right now, wanting to see the manager and whining because the manager did not want to come out.
Only this Karen is the strongest person in the world and there is no force on Earth that could afford not to listen to him whine.
'Kneel' Azief said and there is a force pushing Gabe from above. When he spoke, it was like the entire world listen and obey.
The other people could not feel this but Gabe felt this.
