Chapter 632
I go over the notes with Bri and Rodrigo one more time, updating them on the new progress of the doubles I just sent out to expand the kingdom further west of the 8 Great Regions and south of the Dark Continent.
Once transmissions of large amounts of hunters arriving in the empty entrance hall begin to reach Rodrigo's tablet, orders are sent out for E and D class workers in the Apex base. They are to greet the parties from each region that arrive and escort them to the elevator.
Five to ten at a time, Regional Directors, B and A class hunters are all escorted down to the 18th floor of the facility, the A-Class training rooms.
It's the only room large enough and secure enough to hold this kind of meeting.
As the sun slowly rises, everyone that was invited arrives, and I decide to make my way toward the elevator with Bri and Rodrigo behind me, with Raven watching from an invisible point of view.
I take a deep breath in and out, and wait for the elevator to open with a ding on the 18th floor.
The chatter and small talk in the room go completely silent as I walk out onto the dense mana-shielded floor to see over 200 hunters waiting for me to speak.
All three of our footsteps echo through the silent room as we walk forward.
The crowds of powerful hunters are split into 8 separate groupings. Each region sticks together, and the sizes vary a lot. The Apex, Veridian, and Vice Region groupings are far larger than the others, who have less than 10 in each of them. Smallest of all, the Talton Region's only two people who showed up are Marcie and their leader I met once before when delivering goods.
