The mayor shook and probably would've fallen to his knees if he hadn't already been sitting.
Even his concubines were quicker to deal with the shock! They already scuttled a safe distance away and pretended to be a part of the furniture.
"Master Ru, what is going on?!"
"A beast wave is about to hit this town. I need you to organize the evacuation of its people."
Finally, the mayor stood up and showed something besides fear and confusion.
"An evacuation? From my city?! Master Ru, I thought you were in this town to protect it! White Water city always paid its tithe to the Purple Dragon Sect in goods and slaves, and now you are telling me to just abandon it?!"
I let the disdain I felt for the mayor at the moment to show on my face.
Most of my focus, even now, was on my forming Proto-Core. I didn't have the time or attention to spare on a usual social dance.
