Gu Mengmeng was not a person who placed a lot of importance on authority, but she was also no fool.
Oakley was clearly overstepping his boundaries today.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and didn't go up the stage.
Meanwhile, everyone below was already kneeling down respectfully and waiting for Gu Mengmeng's next command.
Lea whispered in a low voice, "The hunt is a major event, and cannot be delayed. Other matters, we can talk about it later."
Gu Mengmeng hesitated but eventually nodded. She had Elvis carry her onto the stage, after which she turned to face the crowd. "Warriors, congratulations on passing the trials of the harsh winter, and emerging an even better version of yourself. Now, it is time for you to display your prowess and capabilities before the Beast Deity. The first hunt marking the end of winter starts now!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Earthshaking howls sounded out from below the stage right after Gu Mengmeng's announcement.
