Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

As the guards around the tunnel entrance had just finished preparing to seal the tunnel, Nova ran out of the tunnel.

Evelyn, Fuzzsir, and Luca followed closely behind.

The moment Luca emerged from the tunnel, Melania immediately gave the order.

“Seal the tunnel immediately!”

The guards activated the sealing devices at once.

A large number of sealing magic arrays instantly appeared at the tunnel entrance.

The monsters running at the front were immediately turned to ashes by the power of the sealing arrays.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, a large number of monsters began to batter against the sealing arrays.

After several minutes, the sealing arrays stabilized completely.

The monsters retreated back into the tunnel.

“Are you all okay? What exactly happened?” Melania walked over to Luca and Fuzzsir, her expression filled with concern as she asked them.

“There’s a monster nest inside the tunnel! A large number of monsters are constantly being born, and we must seal the tunnel entrance completely!” Luca replied quickly.

A look of extreme shock appeared on Melania’s face.

She hadn’t known about the monster nest before, but after seeing the large number of monsters herself, she could no longer underestimate the threat the monster nest posed.

“Don’t waste any more time! Let’s head back to Morning Star’s headquarters right away. We need to report the information about the monster nest as soon as possible,” Evelyn said as she stumbled forward, still holding her staff.

Her suggestion was certainly reasonable.

Luca nodded.

“You’re right! Melania, prepare a vehicle to take us to Morning Star’s headquarters!”

Ten minutes later, Luca and the others arrived at Morning Star’s headquarters.

Logan, Zovland, and Drumph were already waiting for them in the conference room.

“I have a general idea of what’s going on. Just tell me what each of you thinks,” Logan’s voice came as soon as Luca and the others entered the room.

Logan’s jaw tightened like a bear trap.

Zovland and Drumph, seated next to him, also wore serious expressions.

The fact that there was a monster nest beneath the Imperial Capital was something they found hard to accept.

Luca naturally took the lead and began to share his thoughts.

“I think with our current strength, it’s impossible to destroy the monster nest. So, for now, all we can do is temporarily seal the tunnel entrance.”

Logan nodded darkly, then asked, “Don’t you have anything else to say? How did you discover the monster nest?”

“I didn’t discover the monster nest; it was Nova who found it. I only sensed the powerful chaotic energy deep within the tunnel and encountered a large number of monsters that suddenly appeared,” Luca said, quickly passing the blame onto Nova.

There was nothing wrong with this approach, as he had no prior knowledge of the monster nest.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Nova.

Nova gave an awkward smile, a bit of regret flashing across her face.

As a member of Zenith Technology Company, she shouldn’t have disclosed the information about the monster nest.

However, it was already done, and now she could only go along with it.

“According to our information from Zenith Technology Company, monster nests are usually hidden in areas with extremely powerful chaotic energy. A monster nest cannot be easily destroyed because it itself embodies the essence of chaotic energy,” she continued, pausing slightly.

Logan nodded impassively, signaling her to continue.

“A monster nest is constantly giving birth to monsters, so the number of monsters in the tunnel will only continue to increase. Eventually, these monsters will break through the seals you’ve set,” Nova said.

Her words made everyone’s expressions darken further.

Luca felt a bit concerned that Nova might oppose his plan, but unexpectedly, Nova shifted her stance.

“However, I agree with Luca’s judgment. In the situation where we can’t destroy the monster nest, we can only temporarily seal the tunnel entrance.”

Her statement caused Logan, Drumph, and Zovland’s faces to darken even more.

The three of them turned their gaze to Evelyn and Fuzzsir.

Although the higher-ups at Morning Star had already acknowledged Luca’s strength, Luca was not a member of Morning Star. They were still more inclined to trust the members of their own organization.

Evelyn spoke up first, sharing her thoughts.

“I also agree with Luca’s assessment. The monsters in the tunnel are no pushovers. We haven’t gained an advantage in fighting them. If we want to forcibly destroy the monster nest, we must be prepared to pay a heavy price.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zovland immediately asked, “Are you saying that it’s still possible to destroy the monster nest if we force it, right?”

Faced with her superior’s question, Evelyn hesitated slightly.

After thinking for a moment, she ultimately decided to play it safe.

“This is just the best-case scenario in my opinion. I still recommend not forcing the destruction of the monster nest. At least, I don’t have the ability to do it,” Evelyn replied, her answer clearly displeasing Zovland.

However, he had no way to respond, as Logan was still in the meeting room. Zovland couldn’t afford to lose his temper in front of Logan.

Fuzzsir was the last to speak his mind.

“I also agree with their view. But I must disagree with Evelyn. I believe that no matter the cost, it is absolutely impossible for us to destroy the monster nest.”

He didn’t have as many concerns, so he could make his judgments more boldly.

Once everyone had shared their thoughts, Logan slowly stood up.

“I understand. You’ve all worked hard. You should go and rest now.”

With that, he left the meeting room with Drumph and Zovland.

Evelyn gave a small nod of acknowledgment to everyone before also leaving the room.

Fuzzsir and Melania exchanged a glance before looking at Luca.

They intended to speak with Luca, but he was clearly too exhausted.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m too tired right now and need to get some rest,” Luca said apologetically to Fuzzsir and Melania.

“I’m also a bit tired, so we should rest now,” Fuzzsir agreed.

With that, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

In his room, Luca finally allowed himself to smile broadly.

“I originally thought our plan might run into some problems. I never expected it to go so smoothly.”

“Don’t let your guard down! The monster nest is still a significant threat to us. Zenobia might very well draw power from the monster nest to quickly recover,” Sophia said, not as cheerful as Luca. She was deeply concerned about Zenobia’s potential threat.

Luca collapsed onto the bed, still smiling as he spoke. “Zenobia’s power won’t recover that quickly. In any case, she won’t be able to pose a threat to us in the short term.”

He paused for a moment, his smile growing even brighter.

“As for the threat of the monster nest, that’s not something we need to worry about. That’s their problem to deal with.”

While Luca was willing to cooperate with Morning Star, that didn’t mean their interests were perfectly aligned. Morning Star had been investigating him in the shadows.

Some factions within Morning Star were also very eager to eliminate him.

The fact that Morning Star had focused all of its attention on the monster nest was, of course, a good thing for Luca.

“What do you think they will do?” Sophia asked, curious.

“They can only seal off the tunnel entrance. If Sophia and I couldn’t solve it, what makes them think they can?” Luca answered indifferently.

Meanwhile, at the highest level of Morning Star’s headquarters, Logan was sitting in his office, his face dark as he discussed countermeasures with his two trusted subordinates.

“Are we really just going to leave the monster nest unchecked? If we do, the potential threat to the Imperial Capital is far too great! The Federation’s high command will likely not accept it,” Logan said, his voice filled with concern.

Drumph remained silent for a moment before ultimately agreeing with Luca’s judgment.

“I think Luca’s assessment makes sense. Luca and Nova are the strongest individuals we’ve been able to find. If they can’t resolve the monster nest threat, what can we do?” Drumph said.

Logan sighed deeply.

He understood, of course, but he still wanted to find a better solution.

At that moment, he suddenly turned his gaze to Zovland.

Zovland knew it was time to voice his thoughts.

He was very reluctant to agree with Luca, but the threat of the monster nest was immense.

He didn’t dare speak lightly on this matter.

After some internal struggle, he hesitantly said, “I honestly can’t think of any better solution. Until we find a way to completely resolve the monster nest, all we can do is seal the tunnel entrance completely.”

In the end, Drumph and Zovland came to a consensus on the matter.

Logan had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

“It seems there’s no other option. You two take your subordinates to the tunnel entrance immediately. I expect you to ensure that the seal is absolutely secure!” Logan commanded as he stood up.

“I must report this to the Federation’s high command right away. They may have other decisions to make. But until we receive further orders, follow my instructions for now.”

Without turning back, Logan left the office.

Although Drumph and Zovland were rivals, they had no choice but to cooperate, however reluctantly.

“Let’s hurry up! If something goes wrong at the tunnel entrance, neither of us will be able to handle the situation,” Drumph said coldly.

Zovland snorted, and although he didn’t respond, he quickly began to take action.
