The Author's POV

Chapter 669

"Pfttt…"

I spat the water that was in my mouth, and I felt multiple eyes pause in my general direction.

I looked at Octavious without paying any attention to the attention that was being directed toward me and set the glass back on the table. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't hearing wrongly.

"What did you just say?"

"You've heard me already. I won't repeat myself."

"No, no, it's because I heard what you said that I'm asking this."

What in the world was going on?

I was completely taken aback by the unexpected disclosure, despite the fact that I had already had a hunch that this might happen.

The clues were there, I just didn't want to believe them.

How on earth did Kevin manage to sway the opinion of such a stubborn individual to side with him?

"Kevin Voss…Kevin Voss… isn't he that little handsome fellow that I see in the billboards all the time?"

Ivana turned her attention to Octavious; the interest in her eyes was clear to see.

Octavious merely spared her a glance before answering.

"I can vouch for his capabilities. He will make a great leader if you choose to elect him as one."

"Where is he at the moment?"

Ivana looked around the room, pausing briefly to take in each of the individuals who were present in the room.

"He's not here."

Maximus, Gilbert's father and the current second-ranked hero, spoke up.

His head was bowed and his arms were crossed as he sat to the right of Octavious. Raising his head slowly, he looked at Octavious and mumbled.

"His rank is not within the top fifty and so he is unqualified to be here."

"Not even in the top fifty?"

The expression on Ivana's face and the manner in which she carried herself completely shifted, and her eyes started to lose focus.

"If he isn't even in the top fifty, what qualifies him to be the alliance leader? If someone wants to be my leader, they have to be at least stronger than me. Since he's not here, it means that there is no need for us to discuss this any further. I'm not interested."

Ivana relaxed her shoulders and closed her eyes as she reclined further back in her chair.

Her expression utterly displaying the absence of any interest in the topic that had been discussed earlier.

"One doesn't have to be the strongest to be the leader."
