Chapter 63
Zero slept early that night . The flying experience was both exhilarating and terrifying . While Zero enjoyed the speed and the height, he was slightly traumatized about flying upside down . Truen apologised and reassured him that he'd warn him the next time .
While Truen was truly apologetic about it, he knew it had to be done . After all, he would never get the golden shot for the trade with Isis if he warned Zero beforehand . A teary and frightened Zero was an endearing one .
"It's me," Truen spoke in a low voice, not wanting to disturb his ward .
The goddess nodded and sent him an invitation link . She'd arranged to swap with Freya to meet with Truen in the dream reality tonight . Isis, Hades and Gaia would be present for the meeting .
In less than three minutes, Truen successfully entered the dream realm .
"Good evening," he greeted .
Hades and Gaia were still going through the pictures . They were thoroughly impressed with Truen's ability to get such good angles .
"Good evening, thank you for the pictures . I believe we can forgo the small talk and launch straight to business?"
The elf smiled widely . "Yes . Have you gathered the contacts I asked for?"
Hades and Gaia looked up . "About that, we're not able to contact everyone on such a short notice but this is a list of people who responded . We can send you the confirmed list after you wake up but for now let's go through the contact list to sieve out those who are potentially harmful . "
The list was very long and Truen thanked the creation of technology .
"Let's start with the demons and devils," Hades scrolled to the correct page . Truen squinted at it and read the individual proposals and demands of each applicant .
"I think he has ulterior motives, rejected . "
"I concur," Gaia nodded and nobody objected as Truen moved it to the pile of rejected applications .
The elimination process took about four days and Truen looked at the pile of potential applicants . There were about a few hundred applicants left from the few hundred thousand that they received but it was still too many .
"Let's shortlist twenty that we think will be good and discuss again," Gaia proposed . Everyone nodded and starting working on it separately .
A day passed quickly and the Great Gods looked no less haggard than Truen .
"Let's begin," Truen sighed .
Another two days passed while they debated over their choices . Thankfully, the concluded results satisfied everyone .
"Thank you," Truen bowed . It was about time to leave the dream realm .
"No," Isis smiled . "We should thank you instead . None of us thought about this . It's only right for us to help in any way possible . Please continue to look after Zero . "
Truen smiled . "You can count on me . I won't let anything happen to him . "
