Supremacy Games

After Felix opened up his eyes, he noticed that the helicopter was just about to land in a military airbase.

The base was packed with soldiers running back and forth, and army jets of all shapes and designs, parked at the side.

"Get down and head straight for the private jet." George, who was riding in the front seat, ordered Felix and the rest while unfastening his seatbelt.

Everyone heeded his orders and got out of the helicopter. Felix looked around and noticed that the private jet was already in its position for liftoff, waiting just for them.

The 2nd helicopter soon landed as well, letting the 2nd group disembark.

Seeing Olivia, who was wiping her sweaty forehead with her sleeves, Felix couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed to him that even in the other helicopter she was nervous the whole time.

Soon, he shook his head lightly at her belief in superstition and started walking towards the private jet.

No one was having their suitcases with them as they were going to be sent here by a cargo helicopter in the next couple of minutes.

Thus, everyone embarked on the jet and straightway sat down.

As always, Felix chose the window seat. Since Olivia was probably still mad at him, he chose a single seat at the way back of the private jet.

He didn't want that pest Adam to sit anywhere near him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking." Hearing the abrupt announcement, everyone dropped whatever they were doing and paid attention to the captain's polite words, "Welcome on board. We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for take-off. Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. I hope that you enjoy your flight as it is going to be a long one."

Seeing that the announcement was over, Felix closed his eyes and dove back into his consciousness.

He knew that the flight was going to last ten hours, giving him all the time he needed to continue his conversation with the Jörmungandr.

...

"Hm? You guys are playing Royalty?" Felix raised his eyebrows in surprise at the sight of the Jörmungandr and Asna, concentrating on a chess-like board, that had only 15 pieces remaining.

The rest was lying on both sides of the board.

Ignoring his existence, Asna lifted a goblin-like green piece and placed it next to a dwarf-like piece. "I use the goblin's greed innate trait for a chance to steal the dwarf's artifact creation innate ability."

Immediately after saying so, Asna threw a hexagon-faced dice on the board and watched it roll while holding her breaths in hope.
