The chairman, although he had turned into a tentacle monster, was still one of the top figures in the world.
Amberser was adept at coaxing others to work for him, epitomizing the type that wouldn't part with a single feather, and if he had to pay, he would drive a hard bargain.
The chairman, on the other hand, was much more generous than Amberser, suppressing the Thrashtoads with formidable strength and then promising them a heap of benefits.
By employing both rewards and intimidation, he turned this group of giant frogs, more intelligent than humans, into his minions.
Because the Thrashtoads were sufficiently intelligent, they chose to compromise in the face of an irresistible force.
Although these Thrashtoads were only verbally compliant, not yet devout followers, at least the chairman got what he wanted—a very small amount of the Power of Faith.
