Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 102: CHAPTER 102 – The Reactions.

"They are being arrogant just because they have 20+ S-rank raiders in their guild, they are thinking that they are above everyone just because of that-"

*Click*

"They should just donate whatever they got from the gate so that we can help the public better-"

*Click*

"They just don't want the betterment of the world, or they would've told us about what happened inside, then and there-"

*Click*

"Just because they become powerful, they think they can do whatever they want-"

*Click*

"They should compensate the world for the damage that had happened-"

*Click*

"They think they achieved something very big just because they cleared a gate, we can do the same-"

"Sigh..." Ann sighed as all she could find on the news was them being criticized.

"What are you sighing for, let them bark all they want, we have a press conference so it's better to think about that," Alice spoke from behind as she was browsing through her phone.

"Yes, I will do just that," Ann spoke as she got up from the sofa and walked towards her room.

"The breakfast's almost ready, for your information," Just then Alex's voice was heard, and be it Alice or Ann, both of them paused for a second.

They looked at each other and nodded.

They moved toward the dining table as breakfast was important and much more so when it was made by Alex, other things could wait.

For now, they were just happy that their house was still safe and they didn't need to worry about a roof over their heads, which was better than many people all over the world.

..............

When the shockwave had passed through the whole world, it crashed in itself as the planet is NOT flat.

Things were doing fine – no, things were doing rather good till then, but just as the world was celebrating their power boost it happened.

The whole world trembled as the shockwave crashed in itself, everyone on the planet felt that trembling, but how could they have seen what was coming for them?

Just after the trembling, the disasters started.

Disasters here don't mean artificial ones, they were natural disasters, ones that could not be stopped by humans.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, avalanches, and all other kinds of disasters, all of them came at once. Some raiders who had powers related to those disasters tried to control those disasters and they were successful as well, but there was so much only a few of them could do.

So, the disasters hit, the weak died, and even if the strong didn't get harmed, some of them still lost their homes.

The earthquake was quite powerful, so other than the buildings that were fortified or upgraded using some kind of strong metal, almost all of them were destroyed.

The buildings such as the association building, guild buildings, pricy and safe villas, fortified safe houses, and some other buildings like that were safe.

Alice, Ann, and Alex turned out to be among the lucky ones as their villa was fortified and was very costly.

The people all over the world were taking refuge in guild buildings, or any other large buildings they could find. The Crimson Lotus Guild also had many refugees inside their guild building, but it was not a problem as the building was quite big.

There were many problems all over the world, but there were solutions as well, so just when the disasters settled down, several organizations quickly jumped into action.

The earth element mages would do their best to help in building up houses, the stronger ones even made house after house with their power alone.

The water element mages would take care of the needs of water as the water supplied was not available after the disaster.

Everyone was trying to help even if it was just for profits or fame, but they were doing it nonetheless.

But as if the world hated seeing things getting better, less than two hours after the disasters, gates started breaking here and there.

They were not the high-ranking gates, but still, the gates were breaking.

The gates that were supposed to break in a week broke without a reason, making the people panic more.

Those gates were still being taken care of, but one more thing was noticed, the break time of every gate had shortened.

The A-rank gates that were supposed to break in a week or more were now showing cracks, which was a clear sign of the gate breaking.

The gates start cracking as the time of their break nears, no one knows why that happens, but it is what it is. On the other hand, when a gate is cleared, it loses its color and becomes translucent.

For example: If an F-rank gate that is white colored is cleared then the moment it is cleared it would turn translucent.

The gate Alex and the group had cleared was a special case as it was a unique type of permanent gate that was supposed to stay like that for who knows how long, so that is the reason why no one could tell whether it was cleared or not.

Many people were happy when the raiders from Crimson Lotus came out alive from the gates and the common populace was happy to get more S-rank raiders as the more strong raiders there are the better it is for them.

However, the improvement and achievement of Crimson Lotus were not taken nicely by their competitors or any other organization. They knew that the Crimson Lotus was now very strong, so strong that they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

But that didn't mean that they were invincible, so they were trying to use whatever they could to either get some profit from the Crimson Lotus or to get the Crimson Lotus down.

There were many guilds already forming alliances as they could feel that the peace in the world was not going to stay for long after the Crimson Lotus had gotten so strong that they could break the balance alone.

However, there were some guilds who wanted to be on the good side of Crimson Lotus as well, and there were some who wanted to form an alliance with them as well.

But none of them were going to make a move as they were going to wait for the press conference.

There were many kinds of reactions from people all around the world about the way Alice talked and also the fact that she refused to answer any questions.

Although people called them arrogant and whatever, they were all still waiting for the press conference that was going to be conducted today.

Until finally it was time for the press conference.

............

Inside the Crimson Lotus's main building, there was a large training hall that was used by the guild members to train themselves.

Today, however, there was a stage with three seats placed in the training hall, but that was not all as there were hundreds of comfortable chairs placed right in front of the stage, all of them facing toward the stage.

On the three chairs that were placed on the stage, Alex, Alice, and Frank could be seen sitting. Ann was there as well, but she was standing behind Alice as the secretary she was.

"Let them in," Alice commanded in a low voice.

The raiders standing at the entrance of the hall opened the door and as if waiting for that moment, a large crowd of people rushed into the training hall.
