The cramped living room of Adrian's house was buzzing with. Mara, Eli, Charles, Jeffery, Karl, Serena, Von, Nyra, and Damien. Every single one of his Vassals were all present in the small room, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They had spent the first few minutes bombarding him with questions. Karl, in particular, was relentless. "Come on, Adrian! The Silver League is brutal! I'm stuck fighting these four-armed insect guys who are faster than lightning. What's it like up in Diamond? Do they really have arenas in deep space? Do you get your own locker room?"
Adrian answered what he could, sharing tales of the missions, cultivation rooms and the sheer scale of the higher leagues.
He saw the hunger in their eyes, not just for glory, but for the strength to protect their people. They were all interested in how he had gotten so strong so quickly as well.
