Ranking System

[Third Person POV]

"Hey, did you hear? Our world has officially conquered a world! This one is unlike the one that Cyrus did a hundred years ago!"

"What's so different about it? Isn't it all the same?"

"No, you idiot! This time we would get direct access to a whole new world! The last time Cyrus had conquered one, it was too dangerous!"

"We won't be sure they will cause a war if Cyrus sets up a teleporter! This time we could suppress them if any problems would occur! The world is turning up for the better with Charles around!"

An average Charles fanboy shouted out with joy. People who heard their discussion were excited by the news.

Today a press conference will be held, and the news will be about the new world they'll have access to. Felicia, the fourth-ranked, known as the Witch Of The Plague, would be the spokesperson of today's press.

This was the news of the century. No other event could be compared to this. Everyone who didn't live in a rock would watch this and wouldn't miss it for the world.

Felicia, who had negotiated with the world people of Gaia, held the most information. It was natural for her to be the person to talk about this.

"Look, the conference is about to start!"

Since this was a significant event, the news outlet from every media broadcast this event. Even people that wouldn't listen to it would have to hear about it.

With time hitting, the broadcast has begun. Inside the conference, news reporters, along with significant figures, were in the conference watching the conference in person.

"Felicia! Can you answer this!"

"Felicia! What is the main component of this success!"

Many reporters swarmed Felicia with questions. Felicia would've poisoned everyone here if this weren't a public event.

"Silence! I will answer your questions one by one."

Felicia had a commanding tone that she had honed all these years. Everyone had shut up once she had heard her voice. Pissing off a poison master would be the end of anyone.

"The one in the very front. Go from that order, and I will answer most of your concerns."

While Felicia had stopped the screaming of the reporters, it wasn't the most efficient way to ask some questions.

"Felicia! There are rumors that Charles handled everything himself in a matter of minutes! Can you confirm whether this was true?"

Everyone knew how overpowered Charles was. With his skill, it wouldn't be surprising if he wiped out a country without a sweat.

The first reporter had asked the question that everyone wanted to hear. There was a hint of annoyance once the mention of the boy Charles.

Felicia found him to be a rude and annoying person. There has never been anyone to piss her off that much and get away with it.

"Charles did most of the heavy lifting. But it would be best if you didn't discredit the others. And no, he didn't finish it in minutes but an hour."

Even though she disliked him, it was not like she could lie in public. She answered what she thought and proceeded with the next person.

"This new world you have invaded. What's it like?"

Being asked about the world, Felicia then thought about what to say. For the second question, Felicia needed more time to think.

"If you regress our world back to two hundred years ago, then the technology there will be similar. Nothing too special. It's a place where humans live, not much fantasy."

"Then do you know when we could gain access to that world?"

Not everyone got the chance to travel to a different world. If the world Gaia were safe, everyone would likely have a chance to travel there. Not only that, the population problem that the earth has could be fixed with the conquest of Gaia.

"I don't make the decisions. So you would have to wait for some time. I doubt it would be long before it would be accessible."

With more questions asked, the more tired Felicia became. Some questions asked by the reporters had frustrated Felicia, while some of her answers left some unsatisfied.

This went on for hours before almost all of the questions were asked. Felicia got off right as the questions were done. Even when she tried her best to hide the mental strain, some people could see it.

After Felicia left, a politician took over and continued with questions that Felicia couldn't answer.

"Master~! I thought she was going to say something bad to you~!"

Charles and everyone in the house were sitting in front of a large holographic screen. With nothing else to do, they watched the press conference, with Felicia being the press host.

"She wouldn't dare. I know she fears me. That old hag also knows that I'm a spiteful person."

The listless Charles was on a couch with his head on Nene's lap. After the date with Rose, Nene got angry that Charles had ditched her. Charles made it up to her by promising to do something for her later.

With them patched up, Charles used her thighs as a cushion. Courtney and Rose were jealous while Reina stuffed herself with some snacks. As for the rest of the people in this house, they found this natural.

Charles found it boring for something that was supposed to be the century's news as he already knew some of these events. Despite looking at the projector, he tuned out what Felicia had said.

"Charles. Do you want a bite?"

Reina fed him without giving him a choice. Charles would accept it either way, so he wasn't mad about Reina's actions.

"Charles. Here is a drink."

Courtney tried to one-up Reina and gave him a drink. While it would get tiring once in a while, Charles found this a plus since all of them were trying to please him. For the whole day, Charles chilled with his lover. He was living life like a king.
