Capítulo 545: Last stretch

The meeting could happen any day, but Khan preferred to have it that very night to accelerate his return to the lessons. He risked falling behind in his studies otherwise.

The commotion caused by Lauter's crisis didn't wane in the previous weeks, so a single message from Monica made the descendants clear their schedules and gather in Khan's flat. Lucian, Lucy, Marcia, Zoe, John, Mark, Anita, George, and even Francis took their seats in the main hall, and Monica delivered drinks to everyone before officially starting that meeting.

"Well," Lucian announced, leaving his armchair and lifting his full glass. "I think I speak for everyone when I say congratulations are in order. You accomplished a major service for the Global Army and all of us, Captain."

Approving statements resounded in the main hall as the other descendants stood up and lifted their glasses. Only Khan remained on his couch and respectfully lowered his head to accept that praise.
