The meeting started for good and it didn't take long before more Awakened left the meeting hall. Even some of those who Michael didn't notice earlier, decided to leave. They realized that Michael was not a suitable Lord for them. They wanted to become Michael's subordinate to procure Soultraits and Soul Techniques from him, to grow stronger by utilizing Michael's influence.
There was nothing wrong with that approach. It was the way of a mercenary- To work and fight in exchange for wealth, connections and influence. It was a temporary aspect, not permanent. However, that was not what Michael wanted. Michael wanted subordinates who stayed with him until death separated them.
Michael made it clear that if he started to invest his Soultraits and SoulStar Fragments into his subordinates, they would have to stay with him permanently. That was one of the conditions he wouldn't change no matter what happened.
