CHAPTER 537: RETURN [2]

"Sorry for the delay. It took quite a bit for us to figure out the logistics of the situation. We're done now so if you would then-"

The Head Elder of the Astrid family entered the room where all the cadets were held. As she spoke, her eyes scanned the room before pausing at a familiar figure and her words stopped. "You're here?"

She blinked to make sure she wasn't seeing wrong.

Following the events of the match, she had been trying to look for him. His absence was quite noticeable, especially considering how powerful he was.

If there was one person she was most worried about in the elimination games, it'd be him.

Who would've thought that even without him they'd still lose?

"The Empires are filled with monsters.'

The Kasha was lagging behind. If they were to catch up to them, then they'd need more time, and most importantly resources.

The exchange had opened the eyes of everyone present.

A small smirk pulled at the Head Elder's features as she looked at Julien.

'Was this what you were trying to achieve by not coming to the exchange?'

Had he participated and won, some of the other House Heads might not have been as persuaded. However, by choosing not to compete and allowing the others to take part, they effectively opened the House Heads' eyes, revealing the gap between those from the Kasha and those from the Empires.

This made the negotiations extremely easy.

Looking at Julien once more, Rosanna had to keep her smile in check.

"To think he'd think so far...' The more she looked at him, the more impressed she became. Such a pity he wasn't from the Eastern Kasha.

As she lamented her situation, she glanced at the others, a faint smile gracing her lips, before reaching out her hand toward the door.
