Chapter 241 If It’s Too Much

Naturally, the few notable elders who quietly arrived in Eragos all shared the same photo on their social media accounts–a picture of some humble, home–cooked meals.

These images quickly gained attention, and before long, they became the center of conversation among the upper crust of Eragos, spreading like wildfire overnight.

The next day, when Charmaine entered the classroom, her classmates were already buzzing about it.

“I never expected the Elders to be so humble. They’ve been here for days, and only last night did the news leak,” one of them remarked.

“My dad told me that tons of people tried to get a meal with the Elders, but none of them succeeded. Even the city’s secretary … he only managed a cup of tea before they left.”

“But how did those Elders take those photos? They were all eating the same dishes, but the plates and table settings were different.”

“I bet they ordered from the same place and ate at home.”
