"I object!"
Seeing that the Captain and the First Mate had made such an autocratic decision without his consent,
Second Mate Matthew Bartley immediately raised both hands to openly object.
"Objection overruled!"
Abel promptly and indifferently rejected it.
"Moreover, only I, the Wizard Doctor, and the Raven First Mate will be involved in this operation. The rest of you should stay at the stronghold and be ready to take over the 'Blood Demon Hand'."
With just one sentence, Abel had cut off any further explanation Matthew Bartley might have wanted to give.
There's no need for you to be involved. Just be an ornament, what are you objecting to?
"The meeting will now enter the second phase, participants, stay behind."
"Those not involved, return to your posts and stand guard," Abel instructed, a cold threat lurking in his tone.
Building an adventure group without strong power and prestige would hardly win over the masses.
