Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 254 254:The Order Summons

As he started taking a puff, his body became lighter and he gained a bit of his lost vigour.

"Things had been too tiresome. It seems I am becoming old." He muttered thinking about the time when he just took the Vice-President position.

Just as he was about to take another puff, the mana around him changed.

"Haaaa...Every time I went there I felt deja vu seeing her." Vice-President shaking his head pulled out a badge.

"I haven\'t seen the others in the past months. God knows what those groups of maniacs are doing now."

...

In the Ralph Empire.

On the TV screen, a long thin woman with a sweet innocent expression, with candy pink hair cast a cute smiling face.

[The tension between the Iron Blood Duke and the Marquise of Cerman is rising. And all of this is because of the Game of Chess.]

[Iron Blood Duke Claimed that he had lost because the Marquise of Cerman cheated while the Marquise of Cerman claimed that all of this was the old guy being paranoid.]

[Speculations of a cold war in business had been going on around and this unease may lead to a territorial war.]

[What is true and what is false? For further updates stay tuned with us.]

"Cut!\'\'

"Veronica, you did a splendid job."

The cameraman and the team gave a thumbs-up.

"Shut up!"

The sweet innocent smile from her expression disappeared leaving a cold expression.

"I am fed up with this shit. Everyone knows that those old fogies have good relationships and there is no way they\'re gonna fight but all of the stupid people have to replay it again and again to gain publicity."

The Scriptwriter scratched his head and said, "That\'s because this news is getting hot."

"So you want to repeat this shit every fucking hour?" Veronica cursed and looked around.

"Why can\'t we broadcast about the attack on the Horizon Academy? With the Inter Academy Championship, this news will surely be a hot topic as people like Ralph\'s would either sympathize with them or mock them."

"But according to Public opinion, 80% are not interested in it."

Veronica was taken by surprise for a moment.

"So other newsgroups also didn\'t show the news because of this rating."

Unlike Cyprus which leads in the scientific field, Ralph\'s society is still backward with many old useless customs. The entertainment industry isn\'t well-developed and their group is one of three that rule over this part as they were pioneers of all this.

So she thought this might be the reason for the people not paying any attention to that.

"Where did you take the poll?"

"We didn\'t. It\'s an anonymous influencer who asked people in slums about these and most of the people denied it."

Veronica\'s mouth opened wide with shock then her expression became dark and her face twisted.

Just as the cameraman thought about what was going to happen next, the writing pad with papers slammed into the Scriptwriter\'s face.

"Fuck you...You idiot, stupid son of bitch."

"Mot***####*#*##*###*#[Censored]"

Everyone lowered their head in fear because this girl might look cute but once angry even hooligans would cry on hearing her curses that can make one bleed blood from their ears.

After cursing to her heart\'s content she glared dagger at the fat scriptwriter.

"You swine head. You can\'t even understand simple things. Do you think people in the slums are our targeted audience? They are struggling to earn their daily food on an empty stomach. Do you think they have the time to waste on watching TV?"

"Then what about the Scriptwriter from other news? They also didn\'t give this priority." The Scriptwriter spoke, rubbing his sullen.

"Because they are fucking stupid," Veronica spoke angrily.

"Our society has a deep social hierarchy. The slums are ignored and won\'t have time to think on this matter while the nobles must have already known about this. So, our target audience should be middle-class men. Most of our entertainment industry revolves around those nobles who just want to spread their agenda."

"If we want to grow, we need to get out of this matrix."

"That noble coughed, that noble bled, that noble took a shit."

"Enough of that!"

Veronica who let her mouth loose suddenly stopped feeling a sudden call.

Veronica took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "I have to go. Meanwhile, come up with something the middle-class people are interested in."

She got up and left, leaving behind a gust of wind after which people in the room wiped their heads.

"Isn\'t she from a prominent noble family? Why can\'t she just do what nobles do instead of loitering? Every time she is pissed, I can feel my lifespan dwindling."

...…

In a dimly lit chamber adorned with ancient tapestries, a lone figure cloaked in shadows sits at the head of a grand, ornate table. Their features are obscured by the play of light and darkness, an air of enigmatic authority emanates from their presence.

Whispers among attendants echo softly, their hushed tones laden with deference. Each person present, shrouded in mystery, bows in reverence to the figure whose voice carries weight, resonating through the room like a quiet command.

Around the table, an assembly of individuals from disparate backgrounds and realms of influence gather, their identities concealed beneath veils or masks, adding to the mystique of the clandestine gathering. They exchange cryptic dialogue, discussing matters beyond the understanding of common folk, weaving plots and schemes beneath the guise of diplomacy.

In this clandestine conclave, the obscure that carried a great authority raised his hand to stop the forgoing discussion.

The man wore a foxy mask and stared deeply at a man with a green snake mask. Behind the mask, the man\'s eyes were as sinister as a snake that seemed to be waiting for its prey.

"Before further talks, I think others shouldn\'t be involved."

"I also think so." The man with the snake mask grinned and clapped after which the entire room was empty except the two.

"Twin snake, as I said, I have no intention of joining Twin Dragon society. I made Valhalla from scratch with my blood and sweat. Once I join someone like you, we\'re gonna lose our independence. If you want cooperation, we have no problem but we can\'t accept your hegemony."

The man named Twin Snake observed the leader of Valhalla. Hearing his words he fell into deep thought.

Twin Dragon society had already its arms and hands digging deep into the society of the Three Empires. However, he wasn\'t content with that and wanted to extend it to continents of other species.

Valhalla members are quite good in disguise and their information network and precision were a step ahead of them after all they solely focused on intelligence.

Meanwhile, Twin Dragon society is like a club of gentlemen.

Thinking about how big his organization has become always makes him nostalgic.

Twin Snake was a member of the PSB intelligence that acted undercover in a criminal syndicate but his colleagues from PSB betrayed him under false propaganda making him a wanted criminal.

He thought he would have died but luckily he encountered the lady who not only helped him but also supported him to become what he was today.

With her unique ideas. He created this group. It had many clubs under him like the swordsman club, martial arts club, puppet club, sports club, tea party club and many more.

On the upper surface, it provides a place for a group of similar interests to mingle but in truth, it ropes in talents to use forming an invisible force that can attack, create chaos, act as a diversion and even go to war.

Their credibility was quite good and members could get resources according to their rank and services. Whether it is skills, manuals of martial arts, weapons, potions and even teachers to seek guidance, they have all.

He was not ambitious enough before but what happened during the tournament made him want to consolidate more power even though he didn\'t inform the master about this.And he was sure that if she knew about this he would praise her for his meticulous thinking.

If Twin Dragon society manages to take over Valhalla, then he might be able to form a close intricate net.

"What if I say you don\'t have any choice, Sir Val?"

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Val, the leader of Vallaha asked angrily.

"I am not threatening you but the one behind me might soon come for your head and believe me when I say this. You can\'t avert my boss." Twin Snake spoke and then started to explain.

"See, I am offering you a win-win situation. Your intelligence department is great but it\'s only good in Cyprus. You are expanding to Ralph and Silver Knight but it\'s not going well cause you don\'t have any support but it\'s different for me. If you agree with me, with my member\'s support you can get a foothold there."

It would be wrong to say that Val wasn\'t tempted. How can he not have the ambition to spread his network to the whole world? But the problem was he was not free like before.

Vallaha had already pledged his loyalty to Her Highness, though it was forced. From then on, her words were a law that he had to follow, and he couldn\'t act arbitrarily.

No matter how powerful or deeply hidden Vallaha is, they couldn\'t afford to offend the Royals thoroughly, especially the Emperor of Cyprus who doesn\'t follow his rules.

Knowing that his group betrayed the Emperor\'s lovely daughter, The Emperor might come for his head directly. In fact, The Emperor had done this so many times. The number of people who lost their lives offending the Princess went past thousands.

Val started tapping his finger on the table.

\'It would be easy if I just informed about this to Her Highness but I can\'t use her name and if I just say that I also have a backing, I don\'t think that would be enough for them to let us go. And about the head-on confrontation with Twin Dragon, I would like to avoid that.\'

\'\'Why don\'t you tell me about the one backing you? I would like to decide after that."

"You dare ask for m-" Twin snake words struck in his thought as he felt a call from the Secret Order.

He raised his chin and spoke.

But at the same time, Val also spoke hurriedly.

"Something urgent came up. I need to le-"

Both Val and Twin Snake became silent as they stared at each other.

"I will wait for your answer." Twin Snake tried to cast a crafty smile and left Val with a suspicious expression.

"What happened to him?"

"Whatever? I guess I got some time." Val shrugged his shoulders.

He got up to prepare for the ritual and innovation.

"It\'s my first time going there, I hope it will be a pleasant surprise and who knows if I will avert this trouble with their help." Val got up and started preparing for the meeting.
