Chapter 269 Identities of the Top Two
While the host of the program had clearly been trying to insinuate that Avery's spot in this competition was undeserved since he had essentially forced Storren Corp. to accept him. Avery's assertion that he was currently the third in rankings put a decisive end to this line of questioning.
It would be difficult to try and say that he was unqualified when he was so close to the top. And in a roundabout way, it would end up insulting the other competitors currently ranked below him.
If he was not good enough, how could any of them be considered skilled enough.
Fortunately, the host was not too invested in this subject since he had only been trying to drum up a little controversy to increase interest. As was his job.
Of course, if there was a chance that it might blow back in his face, he was certainly not going to continue.
"Circumstances might have forced us together in this endeavor, but my relationship with Storren Corp. is plenty strong. In fact, I've found their work to be impressive enough that I've recently ordered a sizable carrier vessel from them." Avery said, changing the topic.
Seeing that there was another story here, the host latched onto it just as Avery wanted.
This was his chance to advertise that he looking for crew members to man his new ship.
He did not come right out and say it, but the host went ahead and asked the question for him.
"Yes, I've already assembled a strong core team, but I am still looking for new members. I have ordered quite the large craft after all." Avery responded lightheartedly.
There was no reason for him to make any sort of impassioned plea or give detailed information on how many people he was looking for or their qualifications.
Right now, he just wanted to get the idea in people's head. Time was on his side since it was still going to take a while for the carrier ship to be completed, and for him to gather enough funds to finish paying for it.
