Chapter 50: Backfired

Athena calmly surveyed the faces of the people in the large reception space, listening to her speak.

Noting their overflowing curiosity, she vowed to totally quench their thirst with the truth.

Athena noticed some people typing voraciously on their phones, probably to check out the old news.

Murmurs of agreement broke out in the crowd.

Athena smiled and continued her tale to the chagrin of Zack, who already regretted crossing her, who wished the ground would open up and swallow him immediately.
