Chapter 228: Rising

"Operation… Typhon? Ha… Haha… Ahahaha!"

"M…Mayor?"

A few hours after the supply team left Typhon's Island, Brenson, who opted to come back with them to the city since he was getting the creeps from the cenleons, personally went to the Mayor to tell what Rhys told him. Brenson was already a little weirded out with the situation, and now that the mayor-turned-presidential candidate was just laughing at him hard, to the point that the large desk in front of him was shaking — it would seem he was fooled.

"I… I knew it!" Brenson immediately stood up from his chair, "I'll inform the military right away to subdue Rhys Wilder!"

"Stop."

Before Brenson could actually leave, however, the Mayor's assistant, Dan, blocked his way to the door. Dan then smiled at Brenson before gesturing to him to remain seated.
