Chapter 692 Being a Hero is a Busy job

'EVAN ERIS: THE GEE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE AFTER THE WAR REMNANT STRUCTURE'

'IRREGULAR HERO FACES OFF AGAINST WOLFEN ELITE SOLDIERS, SUBDUES THEM WITH JUST 1 CASUALTY.'

'GEE-WOLFEN WAR: SIX STATES DOWN IN ONE DAY!'

'NATIONAL LEADERS CRITICISE EMPEROR ISAAC ON MILITARY ACTIONS'

'INTERFERENCE WOULDN'T BE TOLERATED-SAYS EMPEROR ISAAC

'WOLFEN SHOULD FEED HER DEFEATED SOLDIERS-HERO EVAN.'

Eliza put down the bunch of newspapers in her hands after reading their headlines, before turning her gaze towards Evan who was on a call with a representative of a foreign radio station while dressing up.

A glance at the desk not too far from him showed about a dozen more newspapers which Evan had been going through and making calls since daybreak.

After the boy returned to the GEE capital last night, he and Emperor Isaac went off somewhere, not long before she began sensing multiple powerful presences appearing in the castle.

He had a meeting with not just the Emperor, but all the Seven Star Generals and many other top GEE officials.

They discussed things ranging from how they were going to manipulate the media in their favour, down to the next wolfen state they were targeting and a few strategies.

This meeting lasted for hours and Eliza stayed up waiting for Evan while reading a book, only to look up and realise it was morning already.

Due to their Existence Levels, they could go for weeks without food or sleep, but while this didn't diminish their physical stamina, it was pretty taxing mentally, hence why they still slept as regularly as a normal human.

However, Evan could not afford that luxury right now as the boy was exceedingly busy.

This War was bigger than anything he had ever planned before, so he needed to put his maximum effort into it.

It was also his Third 'Big performance' on the International Stage and he was going to have hundreds of millions paying attention to his every move, with a good percentage of them looking for a means to 'attack' him (not physically, of course).

Unlike Cheverton and Lacertilia which only affected specific portions of countries, this war was affecting not just Wolfen, but their allies as well.

Citizens were inevitably going to be displaced by the war, refugees would flood towards other countries bordering Wolfen, security had to be bumped up to prevent Terrok slavers from getting their hands on these refugees, and many more things.

Evan placed a lot of emphasis on the Terrok Slavers issue, remarking that he didn't want any kid who lost their home during the war to suddenly show up in the future as a 'Fake Hero' hell-bent on revenge.

Naturally, besides Eliza and Roselia, none of those who heard that remark understood what he truly meant.

Coming back to this morning, Evan and David's predictions of the reactions from across the world came to pass.

Alpha Continental National Leaders, some of whom were present in the meeting the day before, criticised Isaac publicly and gave long-winded speeches that could be summarised in a single line:

The GEE was 'Bullying' Wolfen and other Major World Powers should step in and Sanction Wolfen.

News of his participation in the Wolfen War had gotten out, starting as mere rumours coming from the citizens of Tomond who escaped before Beluar could lock down the state fully, and finally being confirmed when the news headlines came out.

See you later."

"Mhmm...bye."

Right after the door closed, Eliza remained on the bed, monitoring Evan's presence as it went further and further into the castle before abruptly disappearing.

'He must have teleported...'

Naturally, the GEE's Imperial Palace had some of Kasteblum's Teleport Waypoints and Evan was very happy for this as it made his movements easier.

The moment Eliza concluded that Evan had left Askal, she got up from her bed and quickly took a shower, before putting on some clothes and leaving their assigned room.

She wore a simple pair of blue jeans and a grey shirt, tying her blonde hair up in a bun and tossing a cap atop it.

Evan had once called this her 'Incognito Celebrity' mode when she had worn something similar before and remembering it made her chuckle a bit lightly.

After a few minutes, security checks and some minor delays, she left the Imperial Palace and headed out into the main capital city.

She checked her Guild Card multiple times, ignoring the shocked looks that appeared on the faces of people when they saw the giant 'S' printed on the back while checking her messages.

Eventually, she entered an inconspicuous coffee shop, glancing around for a bit before breaking out into a smile when she set her eyes upon one of the customers near a window seat.

It was a tall woman with braided long brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a long dark blue coat over a white blouse and a simple blue skirt.

When Eliza entered, she lowered the grimoire in her hands and removed her glasses before looking up at the teenager who ran up to her and hugged her.

"Aunty Fey!"

"Hello, Eliza."

The woman was quite calm in contrast with Eliza's chipper mood, but Eliza wasn't surprised as this was how this woman always was.

She was someone who caused Emperor Isaac to summon some of the GEE Sovereigns in service to the Imperial Family just so he could keep tabs on her.

Wielding the power to delete several countries off the map, she was the Former Chief Grand Magus of Kasteblum, 'Azure Witch' Felyela al'Rear.

Emperor Isaac didn't know what Felyela al'Rear was doing in his country, but he had to keep her under close watch as she was still a potential threat, even if the GEE was on amicable terms with Kasteblum.

The woman didn't mind anyway, as she was only present because her friend's granddaughter had requested her.

That friend was Marguerite Kaur, Eliza's grandmother.

As for what Eliza came to her for, it was pretty simple. The girl wanted to make a quick trip back to her home country but she didn't want any of her family members finding out.

Since Felyela had some business in Vathax as well, Eliza decided to tag along with the older woman.

Right after they met up, the two chatted for a bit and even had a light meal. After this, Felyela summoned her magic staff and constructed a five-ringed magic circle underneath their feet, much to the shock of everyone else nearby.

Before the other patrons of the coffee shop could even finish being surprised, Felyela finished her chant and the two ladies disappeared, leaving behind a few coins that plopped down on the table—the payment for their breakfast.
