Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 461 Strong Who Thinks He's Weak (Part 3)

Tron was one of the few high-level Phantoms Adam was familiar with.

One day, Tron saved Adam and his squad from Dead Lands as a Phantom sent to help.

He was at the party, helped Adam with advice when he was trapped in Fall Hill Prison, and had several important conversations with both Adam and Silvana that served to adjust their relationship.

It also shouldn't have been forgotten that Tron had a special Operator, Riska. She was Phantom but turned down that role as she never wanted to be the one. Her path was followed by Narata, the guardian from Fall Hill Prison, who told Adam about her problem.

Tron managed to help her by allowing her to leave her life as the Phantom in the past. She now had her own Phantom as well as Riska, who was always by Tron's side. She was excited to fulfill her duties as it was what she always wanted.

Step. Step. Step.

Silvana quickly ran along the wide road approaching a massive building set amidst dense forest and fields.

Strangely enough, this place was in the Second Ring.

The Second Ring was smaller than the Third Ring, but not by much, and in some ways, the Second Ring was much larger, it was a bit of a complicated situation.

There were many more people in the Third Ring than in the Second Ring, the same was true of the First Ring where there were even fewer people than in the Second Ring.

But, to understand the situation here, numbers were needed.

In total, about 50 million people were living in the Citadel, taking into account the Upper Ring and the Lower Ring, the ratio between them was somewhere around 70/30.

The information could have errors and inaccuracies, because if the government knew about almost every inhabitant in the Upper Ring, from a simple worker to the Phantom, they had no such control over the Lower Ring, but presumably 30% of the population lived there, that is 15 million.

There were many uninhabitable places in the slums, but given the number of people and the size of the area, as well as the cost of housing, the population density was average.

However, the situation changed completely with the Second Ring. The territory was almost as large as the Third Ring, but there were far fewer people.

This led to the Second Ring being the place where the largest number of different factories, farms, plantations, private homes, parks, industrial areas, and so on were located, all of which needed a lot of space.

Sure, all of this was also in the Third Ring, but on a much smaller scale. The Second Ring had lakes as well as forests, mountains, and many other climatic zones. Many people from the Third Ring who lived on the border would go to work in the Second Ring, to some factory, then return home in the evening.

In addition to the above facilities, the Second Ring was home to warehouses, estates, arsenals, or training areas for anyone who had any influence, from small organizations to the military and the government.

Sure, the Big Three were no exception to that rule.

Because right now, Silvana was approaching one of the many training complexes belonging to the Dark Oder.

The building in front of her was tall, looking like the castle of an exceptionally strict ruler. Smooth walls and right angles, reinforced concrete frames rising upward, that was all that could be said of this building, which gave off a calm, oppressive atmosphere.

There was nothing around this complex but a forest and a few fields, as well as a few kilometers around. The perfect place to immerse oneself in the process.

Step.

Silvana stopped as she hurriedly glanced at her watch.

"Fuck! Why is this place in the middle of nowhere?! I'm already three minutes late!"

Silvana bit her lip before waving her head and heading towards the massive gate - the entrance to the training complex.
