The Author's POV

Chapter 610

"That actually hurt…"

Monica strolled into a small hallway softly muttering to herself.

Her feet eventually stopped moving. She lowered her head to examine her shaking hand before carefully clenching it.

"Didn't they tell him to go easy?"

His attack, or 'display of strength was a lot stronger than Monica had anticipated.

Everything was scripted.

At least, Ren's attack was supposed to be.

Monica knew from the very beginning that Ren was going to show off a little in order to silence the people. It had to be done so that the reputation of the Union and the Central government wouldn't plummet.

It was something that was discussed beforehand.

Ren had kept a far too low profile during the previous few years, which had led to his name losing favor with the general public. The incidents that occurred at the conference were still fresh in many people's minds, so they didn't quickly forget his name, but his lack of notable accomplishments or notoriety after that caused him to lose a lot of his previously obtained fame.

In a sense, his actions were necessary. They had to be done in order to quickly establish himself as a big name in the human domain.

"I'm sure everyone will remember his name now…"

Monica grimaced while she shook her hand.

"Fuck that hurts."

She murmured under her breath.

Ren's growth left even her speechless.

Despite the fact that she had a strong sense of competition, she had no desire to compete with Ren. No point in competing in a losing battle.

Without a doubt, he would overtake her sooner or later.

"Haaa...life is so unfair."

The thought made her shake her head.

"I kind of miss those days where Donna and I would beat him and Kevin senseless to help them progress. In just a few years he's already this strong It makes me feel old, and I'm only in my mid-thirties..."

Age was a sensitive topic for women, and Monica was no exception. She detested knowing that she was getting older.

"Well, at least I'm not as bad as Donna."

Mention her age to her, and you'd find yourself stuck on a wall before you know it.

Tucking her chin under her hand, Monica thought to herself.

'Thinking about Kevin, he sure has improved quite a lot too.;

Although not as much as Ren, still an impressive level of growth.

He was about rank now.

Compared to Ren, it didn't sound all that spectacular, but it had to be remembered that "S" rankers typically never placed in the top 100. They were typically between 200 and 300.

Top 100 was solely intended for people who attained a S+ rank.

This alone demonstrated the numerous contributions he had made throughout the years. Additionally, despite the fact that he was still not quite there in terms of actual rank, his strength was also judged to be in the S+> range. That alone went to show how amazing of a talent he was.

"Sigh, I truly feel helpless when I think about the two of them."

Hanging her head low, Monica resumed her steps before she eventually stopped in front of a large wooden door.

[Vice-President of the Union]

Seeing the metal engravings on the door, Monica grasped the handle and opened the door. She then leisurely entered the office.

Clank—!

A spacious office, roughly the size of a tennis court, welcomed her. A person was seated at a sizable wooden desk near the room's end. He was conversing with someone at the time.

It took Monica one glance to identify who the individual was.

"Looks like you're already here, Ren."

Smiling, Monica closed the door behind her.

"Sure."

I lazily waved at her before I turned my attention back to Waylan.
