Ball of Nothing

Chapter 63 Secret Meeting

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."
