Chapter 610 Breaking News!!!
"Sylvia and Eric. What is the status of our residents?" With her mouth still closed from savoring the wine, the Great TiMaster turned around as she stared at her two most trustworthy servants. "How did they react to the news of the Returners’ deaths?"
"There are so initial panic, but that unrest had already cald down after I made my appearance, my liege." A young, stocky man replied. His eyes then glead lightly as he gave the Great TiMaster a bow, a gesture which the Great TiMaster accepted. "There are so who almost wanted to rebel, but using my powers, I managed to subdue them too..."
"Good work Eric. I hope that you can maintain the calmness among the residents in acceptable levels." The Great TiMaster calmly replied while giving the young man a nod. "Oh, do you need any help regarding your work? I can provide you with any aid that you need."
"There’s no need for your aid, my liege. Your presence is enough to inspire ." The young man, whose na was revealed as Eric, quickly replied. "But if you really want to aid , then maybe you can give a chance to babysit your daughter-"
"My daughter’s busy, so she can’t et you."
"Oh. That’s too bad."
"...."
"...."
"So how about you Sylvia? How is the production of the Eternal Lotus going? Is it still above the daily demand?" After giving Eric a light rebuke, the Great TiMaster now focused her attention on her other attendant, who was slender woman with black hair and a picturesque face. "I hope it’s still above my expected values, because if it is not, well...."
"There’s no need for you to worry, Great TiMaster. I can assure you that the production of the Eternal Lotus is still going well. I-I can even bet my life on it!" Sylvia did not hide the worshipping expression on her face as she conversed with the Great TiMaster, which made the latter roll her eyes in exasperation.
"No, there’s no need for you to bet your life in it. I can feel that you’re telling the truth, so don’t go overboard." The Great TiMaster could only pat Sylvia’s head in an attempt to calm her down, an action that made the slender woman almost pass out in happiness.
"Hah... the Great TIMaster patted my head! Hah... this is bliss!"
"...."
"...."
"....Eric and Sylvia. Now that you’re done with the initial reports, give the usual reports about the logistics. Please make it quick."

10 MINUTES LATER
Once her two attendants were finished on their reports, the Great TiMaster let out a sigh as she shook her head.
She seed to have been slightly fed-up with all that she heard, although she did not entirely voice out her unhappiness.
She just stared at the two with a slightly dark look, sothing that she quickly replaced with a steely glare.
""E-ehem, is there anything else that you want to tell to ? Because if you don’t, then it is ti for us to talk about other matters." The Great TiMaster uttered as she slowly licked the edge of her wineglass. "Other matters, which is in my opinion, of great importance today."
"Other matters, my liege? What do you-"
"You have sothing that you want us to do, Great TiMaster? Hah, what could it be-
Before her two attendants could barrage her with their worshipping attitudes, the Great TiMaster hastened her talking pace, allowing her to mask their sounds.
"Eric, starting today, I want you to bring around 2 million of our residents towards the Imperial Edict Continent. Make them reside on the capital, and don’t let others stop you." The Great TiMaster did not show any sign of hesitation as she said these words to Eric." Oh, and I don’t care if the original residents of the Imperial Edict Continent does not want what you’re doing. Just ignore them and establish the residences."
"My liege? 2 million? Isn’t that too mu-"
"2 million is not too much Eric. Especially since you’re bringing them to the Imperial Edict Continent." The Great TiMaster shushed Eric with a glare, as if she does not want to hear any of his excuses anymore. "You know that the Imperial Edict Continent can only produce the Imperial Arms if it has enough residents in it. Since that’s the case, then we should increase the amount of that continent’s residents."
"But-"
"No buts, Eric. You will bring 2 million residents to the Imperial Edict Continent, and you will do it today. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes, my liege."
"Good. Now do that quickly. I can’t afford any delays, as the whole Traveler’s World is undergoing a major upheaval."
"Noted, my liege..."
With these ’reminders’ from the Great TiMaster, the proud and muscular Eric began slinking away as he began performing his task.
Once he was gone, the only ones left in the room aside from the Great TiMaster was her attendant Sylvia, who still gave the forr a worshipping stare.
"..."
Such stare made the Great TIMaster uncomfortable, and it made her wary of what Sylvia will say next.
"Ah, Great TIMaster, what tasks do you have for , exactly? Is it related to serving you personally? I have no problem with that!" Just like what the Great TiMaster expected, Sylvia was still as masochistic as ever, and it seed to have even worsened at this point. "You can step on every ti you want it, Great TiMaster! Just please, b-be gentle to -"
"Hey, there are no sadist stuff that will be going on here! Where did you even get the idea that I like abusing you, huh? Tsk, I will not step on you or torture you, so don’t give that look!" The Great TIMaster hurriedly replied, with her face now blackened from irritation. "Oh, and my slap before does not count! That was a part of a ritual, so don’t expect to give you more!"
"Aw...." Sylvia sure looked disappointed, although the Great TiMaster did not exactly pay attention to that.
"Sylvia, I will be going out of this continent today and visit the Old Man. Since I don’t want eting him by myself, I have decided to make you join ." The Great TiMaster said gruffly, with her intentions now fully revealed on her female attendant. "Do you have any problems with that?"
"Great TiMaster, even if the Old Man is a stinky beggar who clearly does not deserve the privilege of eting you, I have no qualms with you eting him." Sylvia answered.
"Oh, is that so...."
Although her words were stating her agreent, there was a frown present on Sylvia’s face at this point, an expression which shows that she’s worried about sothing. "But Great TiMaster, even if I am fine with the Old Man himself, that does not an that I am okay with this eting!"
"You’re not okay with the eting itself, Sylvia? What do you an by that?" With her sharp mind, the Great TiMaster already knew the reason for Sylvia’s current worries. But while she already knew this, the Great TiMaster still implored Sylvia to speak up, since it is better for her to hear everything from Sylvia’s own mouth.
"Great TiMaster, isn’t there a killer that has already killed two Returners today? With that kind of creature now roaming around, will it be really safe for us to go out?" Sylvia sounded pretty composed while stating her worries, but the slight tremble in her voice and her own moistened eyes betrayed her own emotions. "You said that the killer could be looking for its next victim already! If that’s true, then if we go out, that killer might-"
"Yeah, that killer might attack . But don’t worry about , Sylvia. Out of all the Returners present in this world, the least likely to get attacked by that monster will be ." With a face as flat as a disk, the Great TiMaster calmly answered Sylvia’s worries. "I won’t explain to you why I am confident of being safe, but believe . I will be really safe."
"I-If that’s what you say, Great TiMaster, then I will believe you..." Although there was still so sliver of doubt present on her eyes, in the end, Sylvia could only ekly agree with the Great TiMaster’s claims.
"Good. Now, prepare your things already. We might stay a little long inside the Old Man’s place, so you should bring everything with you..." With Sylvia now convinced by hers truly, the Great TiMaster felt confident telling more to her. "Bring all the perfus, soaps, and hygiene-related objects that you can. You will be needing it once we’re inside the Old Man’s place..."
"Gulp. Great TIMaster, you’re making it sound like we’re about to face a battle of our lives here. Is the Old Man’s place really that bad?" Sylvia muttered as she looked like she had eaten a bitter candy. "I an, I heard that the Old Man is a dirty person, but is it really necessary to be this prepared?"
"You don’t fully know the Old Man, Sylvia. So you don’t know how bad his place could be." Instead of explaining more details to her, the Great TIMaster just gave Sylvia a small glare, which fortunately shut the latter up. "Trust . By the end of the day, you will be using up much more soap that you can imagine...."
"....."
"Oh, and also bring so life-saving devices with you. I am about to have a fight with the Old Man later, and so people could die." As if what she said was not enough, the Great TiMaster suddenly dropped this bombshell on Sylvia. "Oh, and don’t ask why I am going to fight the Old Man. It is sothing that is between us, so don’t interfere."
"W-w-what are you saying, Great TiMaster! You said that you’re fighting the Old Man? But aren’t you allies? Why would you then-"
"Ti’s up, Sylvia. It’s ti for us to now leave."
"W-wait, you haven’t answered my question yet!"
"If you want to ask questions, then do it later. For now, we have a trip to embark on."
"No! Please explain everything to first!"
"...."
