Chapter 810: Meeting and Reports

"Alright team…let\'s begin this meeting shall we? Any news for me? We\'ll start with you Laughing Dragon."

"Sir!" Laughing Dragon stood up and took steady strides towards the center of the meeting hall. He took out a pile of documents from his spatial ring as well as some arrays which displayed diagrams and statistical graphs about his reports. 

"It\'s been a month since the Mission Board has been implemented." Laughing Dragon stated, "So far, the number of cleared missions per rank are as follows:

Approximately two million D-ranked missions. 

Nearly a million C-ranked missions. 

Four hundred thousand B-ranked missions.

Fifty thousand A-ranked missions. 

One hundred S-ranked missions. 

Thirty SS-ranked missions.

And five SSS-ranked Missions. 

All details of cleared missions are compiled and stored at the database established at the Central Islands. This includes the names of the participants, the time they took to clear the mission and the time they received the rewards promised to them."

"We also complied the complaints and the feedback through surveys which is displayed here." Laughing Dragon pointed at a specific graph displayed for everyone else to see. "So far, the satisfaction rate are at an all time high. Most of the complaints are focused on the unlucky factors the participants encountered during their mission. Something that we cannot control."

"Along with this, we also included those who had been given warnings and those who had been steadily accumulating their Mission Clear Streaks. Their profiles are compiled and available for everyone here to view. They have been validated thrice by my team so I\'m confident that we made no mistakes about their profiles."

The Dawn Council Supervisors looked at Laughing Dragon with an impressed face. They gave Raven silent looks and Raven looked at them with a face saying: \'What did I say? He\'s good isn\'t he?\' 

"Thank you very much, Laughing Dragon. I\'m impressed. Keep up the good work." Raven nodded. 

Laughing Dragon\'s face didn\'t change but his ears reddened. He gave everyone a curt bow before retreating back to his seat. 

"Anne? How\'s our inventory stocks?" Raven asked. 

"Barely nicked, believe it or not." She replied, chuckling softly. "It\'s quite hard to believe that millions of missions are already cleared since the resources we have bȧrėly showed any reduction. We have confirmed we have indeed sent out that many resources as rewards so this comes as a surprise for me. That being said, this is just the first month. We\'ve yet to encounter any setbacks so everyone, don\'t drop your guards." 

The rest of the supervisors nodded. Raven once again spoke: "Mark, any reports for me?" 

"Divine Realm\'s mostly peaceful." Mark stated, "Well, as peaceful as it can get. There are still a couple of nasty people throwing their weight around but they\'re behaving rather well. I guess they\'re way about us, and they should be, but I\'m a bit worried their schemes will run deep if we don\'t hastily apprehend them." 

"I\'ll leave them to you then." Raven stated, "If it\'s necessary, don\'t hesitate to drag in your personal forces to this. We can supply them with resources as much as they need, provided that they will successfully clear them out." 

"Actually, the sect has its hands full right now." Mark sighed, "I\'ve entrusted them a mission at the Forlorn Forest of Desolation. They are stationed in there and it\'ll take some time before they finished clearing that place up. It is messy in there, I\'ll tell you." 

"I see." Raven pondered for a bit, "Well, it can\'t be helped then. Shall we place a bounty on their heads instead?"

"Well, they\'re already wary of us. We might as well give them a solid reason to be afraid. We can use our prestige and announce their crimes publicly, I think. That way the righteous ones won\'t hesitate to hunt them down." Paul suggested. 

"I like the sound of that." Mark replied, to which the others agreed upon as well. 

"Sounds like a plan then." Raven nodded, he then turned to Laughing Dragon and said: "These are the profiles for the said criminals and their records. I\'ll leave this up to you. Once you finalized the mission details, go over to Anne and she\'ll calculate the rewards for their heads. Of course, feel free to do your own investigations as well." 

"I understand, Sir. I\'ll do my best." 

"Mn. I look forward to it." Raven nodded, he then turned to Ellen and asked: "Anything for me, Dear Cousin?" 

"Still ironing out the final draft and designs for the Grand Youth Meet." Ellen grumbled, "I\'m going to need more time before I can compile a draft for you all to see. Luna\'s offered me help though so it shouldn\'t take long." 

"I see. How about you Paul?" 

"Oh well, you know. Still doing the heavy lifting as usual." Paul waved his hand, "I\'m nearly done other islands. Only the Central Island is left. Considering how demanding your designs are, it\'s going to be a pain in the ȧss to cover but I\'ll manage. In short, this Daddy is busy." 

"Sure." Raven snorted in amusement. "Just make sure they will function once your done. We can\'t have you exploding things up here or else, I\'m going to ask Ellen to make you explode." 

"Alright, geez." Paul pouted, "No need to go that far." 

The supervisors chuckled at their antics. Raven then turned to Luna and tilted his head. Luna didn\'t need to be asked since she knows what he wanted to ask her anyways. 

"The invitations are ready and can be sent at your discretion." Luna reported. "Since this will be our very first time nurturing geniuses, I limited the amount of invitations to 50 people. The invitations will handed over to people who possesses a great potential that way we can guide them better." 

"That\'s good to hear." Raven nodded, "We\'ll send out the invitations once Paul finished linking up the cultivation environments as well as the arrays and formations for the headquarters as a whole. It would be for the best if we get this done as soon as we can." 

Raven paused for a bit before revealing his personal plans. 

"As for me, I\'ll be out for a bit." He said, catching the attention of the rest. "I\'m going to the Eternal Division Wall and renovate it." 

"Wait, you mean the whole thing?" Paul asked, to which Raven nodded. "Bro, that\'s going to take a long time!"

"I know." Raven nodded while sighing, "But it has to be done, the current state of the wall is pathetic. The earlier I start this, the sooner I\'ll be done."

"Don\'t worry, you all can still contact me. I\'ll leave a couple of my Avatars here. They can alert me about anything should the need arises. Plus, I can swap with them any time I want so it\'s not like I\'ll be permanently stationed in there."

The rest of the supervisors were silent. They are obviously aware why Raven was doing this. He already revealed to them the threat of the Abyssals and to say that they were worried would be an understatement. 

It was plainly obvious that Raven was still carrying the heaviest burden here even with them around. They\'re doing the best they could but for some reason, it always feel like it\'s not enough. They can only lessen the burden off of Raven\'s shoulders by a lesser degree and that makes the, uncomfortable. 

"Ey, don\'t make those faces." Raven woke them up from their stupor. "I\'m fine, this isn\'t hard alright? Trust me. It\'s going to take some time yes, but it\'s only that because the wall is quite literally all around the Divine Realm. Don\'t sweat it, you of all people know how I do things." 

"Well, are you sure that you have to do it by yourself? Is there anything we can do?" Paul asked. 

"It\'s fine, trust me. I\'m all good." Raven waved his hand dismissively, "This isn\'t difficult. If anything, this is better for me since I get to cultivate by practicing my seals. This should cut the time I need to reach the Divine Knight Stage, which is all the more reason for me to personally go there." 

"Just do your thing here. I\'m not leaving okay? I\'m just staying at our borders, I\'ll be fine, stop worrying." Raven chuckled. 

"Alright, if you say so." Mark sighed. "Just make sure to take ample rests in between. Don\'t collapse on us, you hear me?" 

"Aye, Sir!" Raven quipped while chuckling softly. "Well, time to conclude this meeting then." 

"For starters, well done team. From the compiled results so far, it\'s safe to say that our first move was a great success. Now we just have to continue this streak in order to fully restore the public\'s faith onto us."

"We won\'t be implementing any new plans for now since we just started. Time is on our side so instead of being hasty, we should use it wisely instead. We\'ll stick to the schedule for now. We can always adjust when something inevitably happens." 

"Good job, Team! Let\'s continue working hard! For the everlasting dawn!" 

"For a brighter future!" The team replied in unison.
