Council of the Neutral Continent, Espat.
On a big floor that had many people working while sitting in their respective office cubicles, Eric walked along the hallway bypassing many of such workers and reached at the end of the hallway where he saw a man sitting behind a desk in a big room, working on a laptop, through the glass panels that lay in front of him.
Eric pushed open the glass door and walked into the office room without knocking. The man working on a laptop had noticed Eric coming towards him but after noticing his rude intrusion, he frowned and said
"Do not enter without knocking next time. I won't be polite with you, even if you're an Emperor rank."
Eric stopped in his tracks and looked at the man. He had a thought and then said to the man with a smile
"My apologies, it won't happen again."
Eric apologized due to realising his blunder. He was too happy knowing that Arya would suffer and forgot that he was currently barging into the office of a council member.
Yo lads, this chapter may seem short to you and you would feel like you're reading basically nothing and the development would also seem a bit slow. But don't worry, you have Social's assurance that in future, you will get 2 such chapters everyday and therefore, such small chapters wouldn't really matter. what's better than 1 chapter with 1.5k words? 2 chapters with 1k words :p

Also, please give me your Golden Tickets if you have them. Thankyou, have a nice day.
