What are you smiling for? Rob me like that again and you better never leave your ratty compound again or Ill find you and show you the Thousand Tortures, Ogras snarled.

Brutes, Calrin only muttered, but he still shrunk down a bit.

I will need my Nexus Coins back before the wave starts. You have three days, Zac only said.

30%. I can return 30% before the wave, any more than that and Ill be forced to sell at a discount, which will hurt both you and me.

Zac only stared at him for a while before sighing.

50%. Not a penny less.

The Sky Gnome hemmed and hawed, but Zac was adamant about that level, and finally the little merchant could only acquiesce.

Zac once again closed his eyes after some more small talk, wanting to acquaint himself better with his new and improved Seed. He was eager to find out whether his guidance system from [Axe Mastery] would be able to adapt to the new aspect of his insights, but now was not the time to start swinging his axe around. He could see the pathways, but others could not, so it would look like he had gone insane and started to attack everything around him.

The sound door of the doors opening to the venue woke Zac up from his meditation, and after a bit he saw Sap Trang and Ibtep hurry back toward them.

Ah its good you feel better, Mr. Trang said as he looked relieved.

Better? Zac said with some confusion.

Ah yes, I told you not to drink that much. Passing out with your attributes, embarrassing, Ogras said with a shake of his head.

It seemed the two were putting up a play, but for who Zac had no idea, still he could only play along and hesitantly nod.

Was there any useful information? Zac asked Mr. Trang.

Not much, most of it came from us, to be honest. They have released an updated version of the computer program you showed me the other day. It more clearly shows the Incursion zones. They also provided a decent amount of detail about each and every Incursion, and even provided dockets, the fisherman answered, showing a pretty thick stack of papers.

They also brought up new information from Ibtep. However, though they didnt mention you at all. They only said that an ally of the government had provided the info. They never gave Port Atwood any credit, he said with a frown.

Thats okay, i didnt share it to gain anything from it. I simply wanted people to be aware of the situation, so they could start preparing themselves, Zac said with a wave of his hand.

You should be a bit more caring in the future. That information was valuable, and it would have helped boost our reputation. While it might not seem important, but the image the commoners hold of us might become essential in the future. If we come to conflict with the World Government, what then? Whose side would the people take? The government who, at least from the looks of it, tirelessly is fighting against the invaders? Or us, the unknown force? Ogras said.

Ok, ok. Ill be more selfish the next time. Was there anything else? Did they talk about the teleporters or anything like that? Zac asked.

No, but it seems they have some big plan, they alluded to it multiple times during the presentation. I think theyll tell us more in the last part.

Zac nodded as he looked at the three aliens in the party.

Ill go to the last meeting, you stay with these three, Mr. Trang. There are a few Ishiate who will come with us back, please arrange things with them. They are actually cultivators originally from one of the two towns we found and might be a great help in bringing them into our fold.

Soon the break was over, and people once again streamed into the venue. This time it was only the humans, and Zac saw the Ishiate being shown to a side-area by some attendants.

He went to his original position and nodded to Nigel who sat beside a snoring Billy. He looked over at the Marshals, but the trio was pointedly ignoring him this time. He wasnt sure whether to be relieved or peeved but simply shrugged it off. Ogras lesson was still fresh in his mind, but he knew he still didnt possess the means to act and talk in a manner that gave away no information. So he was happy being left alone.

Thomas Fisher walked up to the stage with his group, and the murmurs in the venue died down.

Welcome back to the last segment of todays activities, and perhaps the most important one. Those here today are a significant portion of the worlds elite, with over twenty of the rankers present in this room, Thomas said, creating some surprised murmurs.

Humans are beset on all fronts by enemies. And let me be honest. They are stronger than us, they are more used to Cosmic Energy, and they are more brutal. In less than half a year only twenty percent of humanity is still alive, and it honestly looks bleak. But we are not without hope.

A large reason why the invaders can run rampant is that there havent been concentrated and organized efforts in rebuffing them. The local forces have fought valiantly, but they have stood alone against a vastly superior force. Too many brave men and women have already died in this ignoble way.

The solution is simple. We need to unite and fight as one entity. Alone we might be weak, but together we will stand strong. And we have found a way to make this happen.
