Usually, Aerin only called him "Godfather" in private messages. Orion hadn't expected her to drop the title so casually in front of the others after all these years. It seemed she didn't care about their opinions anymore.
Aerin: "Hehe... Gotta stick with the Godfather if I want to eat good!"
Just then, Caesar and Tangere, likely alerted by the notification pings, joined the chat.
Caesar: "Big Boss! You're finally awake. Just so you know, I'm already prepping for my Legendary level ascension!"
Caesar didn't waste time with pleasantries; he went straight to reporting his gains.
Over the last decade, his territory in the Silverwood Realm had flourished. The alliance and trade routes established with Aerin and Tangere had created a steady economic engine, generating a constant stream of Faith Energy.
Hulk: "Good man. I'm looking forward to the good news."
