"The way they are, they have no capabilities to stop a high-level Spiritual Saint capable of fighting large numbers of opponents." He said as the people there interpreted this as him exposing his current level of power, in a sense, threatening them without saying the proper words.

Luckily, the royal family was determined to side with Minos and leave those Vogel powers to their own luck.
