Just as President McCord asked, a crowd of people approached them. It was fairly visible that those dozens of people have strong physiques. It seed that they were a group of fighters from the United States gathered in this place. Among them were so faces he seed to recognize. The secret service troops imdiately obstructed them, but an old man who seed to be their leader stepped forward and greeted:
"Good evening, did I hear right that the esteed madam president is here?"
President McCord looked at this man in front of her, an ordinary old man she didn't know. But then she noticed the figure of five burly n with an average height of 2 ters standing behind this old man. At first glance, she felt that so of these five n were familiar.
"Yes, I'm President McCord."
"Madam President, pleased to et you. I'm Edy Grog, and these are my five sons, the Grog brothers."
.
Hearing the na Grog, Elizabeth imdiately recognized them. It wasn't only her who did, because countless other Aricans recognized these five siblings.
The five Grog brothers aged 25 to 32 were extrely well-known to be a family of very successful sportsn.
Gordie, the eldest of the five, played in Major League Baseball. anwhile, his four younger siblings, Dan, Chris, Rob, and Glen, played in the National Football League. Their family produced a total of 7 champion rings during their career. The Grog brothers always strived hard to be the best.
So people even said that having four children of the family successfully admitted to the professional NFL was more difficult than winning a lottery twice consecutively.
Now, it could be seen that the five brothers all made it through the plague, which was even greater luck. Because of this, Jas began to have the thought that there was a genetic secret to fight against the apocalypse's plague.
Jas was imdiately interested in checking their abilities through the bracelet he had on his wrist.

Five brothers with all of the five being spirit enhancers. A very special family indeed, these five siblings had the bodies of bodybuilders and like everyone else, they had also experienced nurous post-apocalypse challenges and obstacles. They were also part of the group of residents who took this floor of the Doomsday Pillar. In particular, Jas paid attention to the fourth child of the five siblings. Rob Grog seed to have the best spiritual talent among the family. And this was implied by his professional match record by reaching the Super Bowl champion three tis, being selected five tis into the Pro Bowl, being selected four tis into the First-Team All-Pro, and also being selected into the NFL All-Decade Team.
President McCord imdiately realized that this man nad Edy and his family needed special attention.
"Is there anything I can assist you with, Mr. Edy?" Elizabeth inquired.
"Madam President, my apologies, but... is it true that this Doomsday Pillar is off-limit for Arican civilians like us?"
"My apologies, Mr. Edy, I've just arrived at this place and haven't given any orders, but I'm sure that if there is a restriction prepared by the army here, of course, it's all for the common good."
Hearing the answer that President McCord gave him, this man seed to be dissatisfied.
"Madam President, the world has now changed. We're all in the sa, difficult situation. I ask that the United States governnt not cover-up information, as well as not monopolize this pillar."
"Please rest assured. We have never and will not cover-up information about our safety together. We are in this together."
"Pardon for saying this, Madam President, but for the past two weeks that we went together floor by floor, so many of us have fallen victim... and we saw that your soldiers seem to have more information than we do."
President McCord then realized that the misunderstanding occurred because the first special team that ca along was with Jas, who had more information from Alex.
"From the very beginning of our arrival, your soldiers have always prevented us from climbing the stairs to the next floor and we found out why. Your soldiers are trying to take advantage of the floor for yourselves and don't want to share even the slightest with us."
President McCord was starting to get confused and didn't understand what the old man was saying.
Zee explained to the president that there was actually a benefit that could be obtained from killing the monsters on each floor. They realized that with every monster that they killed and every floor that they walked through, they could slowly increase their realm level even without consuming any spirit stones. And with the limited number of monsters on each floor, it was no wonder that they assud that the governnt soldiers were trying to take the benefit alone.
"Mr. Grog. I assure you, while this Doomsday Pillar is very mysterious and there are countless things that even I am not aware of, be at ease. Now that I'm here, I hope that there will be no miscommunication between us."
"I agree, Madam President. I'd like to hear it directly from you. Can we continue to climb the next floor of this pillar?"
The president thought about it for a while before answering:
"Sorry, no!"
"!!"
A number of residents who ca with the Grog family began to riot, indicating their displeasure.
"Madam President, I'd like to remind you of our rights! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! Right now, we only ask for our right to live. Our freedom to protect ourselves... we believe that the answer to our safety lies within this pillar. "
"That is so, Mr. Grog, and it is your duty as citizens to listen to the authority appointed by the constitution... Currently, I am not prohibiting, I only ask for the sake of our safety. Let the governnt and citizens cooperate in this matter."
"Madam President, we don't need your sweet talk. Give us sothing concrete."
"All right! Tomorrow, we will enter the 11th floor together. I will personally accompany you."
The president's words gave mixed reactions. So of the people in front of her felt that they could trust President McCord, while so others laughed at her recklessness for not knowing the dangers of the floor. anwhile, the soldiers, especially Richard and the secret service, were worried about Elizabeth's safety. Jas personally found this president of the United States very interesting.
After listening to the president's words, the father decided to see the course of tomorrow's challenge first. He and the other residents began to disperse and return to their respective places.
Jas walked over to Elizabeth and asked, "You realize that the main reason they protest is because of their greed, right?"
"Yes, I know."
"But the way you handled it was very inspiring. You are indeed a great secretary of the state, a great diplomat."
Elizabeth looked at Jas, feeling slightly irritated.
"It seems that I can't see through people as well as I thought... Right now, I don't know whether you're praising or insinuating , Mr. Jas"
"Of course I was praising you..." Jas told with a suspicious wide smile.
President Elizabeth continued, "How should I expect us to be ready for tomorrow's fight...?"
"I hope that all the new troops will co, and, of course, all of you mbers of the secret service. Especially you, Richard, please imdiately use the training room. Upgrade your realm and imdiately choose your weapons and start learning a new skill or two. If you have extra spirit stones, use them imdiately. We hope that no one will fall victim tomorrow."
Jas asked Zee, "What about Winter? Is he ready for tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, he's definitely ready. He won't be left behind."
President Elizabeth then realized a question that had been stuck in her head until now...
"What are we going to fight on this floor tomorrow?"
Jas answered, "For yesterday's first 10 floors, we should be going against goblins and hobgoblins, while for the 11th floor, according to the information, we should be going against orcs."
"…" President McCord was stunned hearing those nas.
"Ah, sorry, Madam President. If you're not familiar with the nas, goblins are small humanoids with green bodies, hobgoblins are those that are bigger and stronger than goblins, while orcs..."
"Yes, Jas, if you're trying to ask if I have ever watched Hollywood films, I most definitely have."
The question that was in her head was why fantasy creatures that had only existed in fairy tales and old stories on Earth would co true in this pillar.
