Now that Pax was fully in form and taking care of the crowd and answering all the questions, Ren leaned back comfortably on his seat and whispered to Fang, "See? It's all been sorted out now."
Fang rolled his eyes. "You just dumped the whole thing on Pax's head at the critical moment and stepped back," he accused.
"Well, can you possibly think of anyone else in the world who is as capable and as competent as Pax?" Ren challenged.
"Of course not," Fang said. "Pax is the best."
"Naturally," Ren said smugly, as if he was Pax's proud father.
It took Pax all of half an hour to satisfy the crowd with all the answers they needed – and if anyone needed any further proof of Pax's stellar capabilities, it was there for everyone to see. In fact, some media persons were so enthused that they scampered off to report things and get the news out even without tasting the grand banquet Ren had prepared!
