The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662 After Battle Snacks

The crowd parted as the interview ended, leaving them a path to the apartments. The crowd was already beginning to disperse, as they had gotten the basics of their questions answered by someone in charge.

Normally, they would get political non answers, and then it would be a day-long protest until people gave up, but today someone had just told them what happened, and then gave them gossip to share.

Everyone who had kids, especially ones whose kids would be undergoing the ceremony in the next few years, was excited to find out what the big news after the ceremony would be, as well as speculate on what the new record for advancement to Awakened was, and whether they knew someone who might be able to suddenly increase in power.

The Elite had said that it was a potion, so that meant anyone might be able to use it. Not just children, but perhaps their cousin's spouse who had been stuck at Awakened since the Academy might suddenly begin to make progress and bring pride and wealth to the family.

Little did they know that the Elite program was about to become a significantly larger portion of the student body.

Once they were all in the lobby of the apartment, and the crowd was safely on the other side of a soundproof wall, the Overlords turned on Karl.

"Did nobody ever teach you how to deal with the reporters?" Drath demanded.

"Relax, General. None of what I told them was an actual secret. If they had two functional brain cells, the reporters watching us train in public would have noticed the advancements to Awakening happening in real time. In fact, they likely have it on film, and don't even realize it because they were more focused on the Cerro pack in the background playing with the smashing posts during lunch." Karl laughed.

"Did you have to tell them that there were spies in the city? That's confidential." Drath demanded, defaulting to his duties as First General.

"I'm fairly certain that they're all dead by now. Our friend Niall's comrades at the Inquisition should have taken care of that during the battle.

But the important part is that it kept the wealthy losers in the Capital instead of letting them scatter to all the small towns where they could mess up the economy or buy out a huge portion of the local small businesses.

I don't mean to be offensive, but the rest of the country is happier not knowing that they exist."

The Overlords all began to laugh quietly.

Joram, the blonde Overlord Rank Ranger, smiled at Karl. "You've got a point. None of the smaller villages are ready for what would happen if they suddenly got an influx of bankers and influence brokers building vacation estates in the hills where they hunt and clear timber.

The cultural conflict would be an absolute disaster."

Everyone piled into the elevator to head to Karl's apartment, where the staff had helpfully already sent an assortment of snacks and drinks.

The Overlords all headed for the shower at the same time, then paused and laughed. If it was just the guys, they didn't care, they had all trained together and used the same shower room in the gym. But as they approached, they realized that Tabitha was with them today.

"Overlord Tabitha, there is a shower in the ensuite if you would prefer. It's not as large as the one in the sauna and hot tub area, but well stocked." Karl offered.

Tabitha nodded, then changed directions to the master bedroom, while the others went to use the shower heads all along the walls of the hot tub room.

In his mind, Rae came to the same realization. They had just turned them on to get the air nice and humid before their bath. The showers even had a timer on them for that purpose. But she could use them for so much more. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
