Chapter 593: Simultaneous event
At this point, everyone in the Rising Six had their eyes directed towards the ongoing auction for the automobiles. The only one that wasn’t was Reena, who looked at Michael and noticed that he seemed to be concentrating on something.
"Michael?" she asked, nudging him.
Michael opened his eyes and looked at the auction stage. "Sorry, I was just resting for a little bit. What happened?"
He realized that the players on the stage were discussing amongst each other with hushed tones. This was highly irregular, as most players during a game would simply keep to themselves for the entire duration. If there were some interaction, it would only be limited to some small talk.
This seemed different. Alaric, Aerith, Bobby, and all the other leaders of the Major Factions were gathered in a circle, talking amongst themselves, seemingly discussing something important.
It wasn’t long after that did they all nod at each other, as if unanimously agreeing with whatever they just decided on.
Alaric then approached Barnaby and whispered in his ears.
Barnaby looked surprised upon hearing this, but quickly turned professional and nodded.
Then, all the Major Factions players walked back up to the backstage to return to their VIP suites.
Seeing this brought on a lot of confusion from the crowd.
Barnaby quickly announced to the entire auction room to clear up the air about what was happening.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that the Major Factions have decided for the games to be a simultaneous event."
