Chapter 606
Silvaria World Inst.i.tute, the Arena Tower’s top floor .
<hr>
This place has no roof and it’s exposed to the elements . With no discernible human living here, only a select few within this inst.i.tution knew about this place . The secrecy has a lot to do with how the Directors presiding over the Board would convene and discuss international affairs here .
Finally, today is one of those rare days where this place got some action .
The 12 directors on the Board installed projection equipment here so they can talk without traveling far from their domains . They discussed important matters like the birth of the Beast King, they also used this place whenever they wanted to contact someone else . For instance, Wu Yan was summoned here so all the directors could talk to him .
Very rarely, the 12 directors would appear in person for meetings . These types of meetings usually discussed critical matters that could affect the rest of the world of Silvaria . In a sense, the 12 directors who are all tier 9 can move the world with their immense authority, so they are also the ones who bore the weight of the fates of their citizens .
The confirmation of the Beast King’s existence gave them enough reason to appear physically .
These 12 elders appeared as agreed and they all started gathering near the center of this place .
“I a.s.sume everyone’s here already?”
A figure wearing a crown spoke up . His voice sounded warm and calm, pacifying anyone’s bad feeling with just a sentence from him . He’s the emperor of the Ailu empire .
“With everyone here, let’s begin…”
The empire gave a nod to the two other middle-aged men with crowns on their heads . The emperors of both the Baruba empire and Feya empire replied with a nod too .
“Old Man Lei, please take the stage…”
Lei w.a.n.g got up and he addressed everyone here with a respectful bow .
“I am sure everyone is already aware of the aim of this meeting?”
Lei w.a.n.g continued with a grave tone .
“Our speculations were true, the Beast King is real!”
<hr>
The other elders looked on with grim looks . Even the emperors are all furrowing their brows, they didn’t look at Lei w.a.n.g because they are too busy sorting their own thoughts .
Lei w.a.n.g looked around before he continued . He discussed the findings obtained by Sylph, Bing Ling, Bis.h.i.+, and Fei Fei . He told them everything about what happened to the elite expedition team .
He also disclosed his personal request where he asked Wu Yan to protect Fei Fei . It was in no one’s interest to hide anything at this point .
Ailu’s emperor and the other two n.o.ble families’ elders thanked Lei w.a.n.g with non-verbal glances .
If Lei w.a.n.g didn’t ask Wu Yan for help . They would have lost talented disciples, including very important family members .
The gravity of the Beast King’s appearance meant that they couldn’t thank Lei w.a.n.g profusely, they had more important agendas to address .
They all lowered their heads as they sighed in an anxious manner .
Lei w.a.n.g sighed for the nth time and he perked himself up .
“I am glad to report that the Beast King was gravely injured at the latest sighting . According to the squad leaders, it would take at least 18 months for the Beast king to recover . We have to make the best use of this window of opportunity!”
The others shared the same sentiment . One of the elders questioned him .
“Was this news verified at a later date?”
Lei w.a.n.g shook his head .
“We were unable to verify the authenticity of Fei Fei’s claim . But, she only told us what she heard from Yukari-sama . ”
When Yukari’s name got thrown out, they all froze up as fear crept onto their faces .
DemiG.o.d tier is something that’s close to them considering that they are only a tier away from it . But, inching closer to demiG.o.d tier, they are the ones who are most familiar with how hard it is to reach such a league . Even if all twelve of them banded up, they would still fall in battle against a demiG.o.d tier opponent, getting a tie or victory would simply be impossible .
According to eye-witness accounts, Yukari-sama curb-stomped the beast king and she almost killed him . Someone on that level is clearly out of their leagues .
The Ailu emperor lifted his head .
“If those were Yukari-sama’s words then the authenticity carried by this claim should be high enough for us to trust it…”
The Baruba emperor hesitated .
“It, however, leaves us in an awkward situation if Yukari-sama underestimated the extent of injury due to her boastfulness . It was the first time that esteemed master fought someone like the Beast King, right? I am sure the Beast King would have methods unknown to even a master like herself…”
“You do have a point there…”
The Feya emperor mused out loud .
