Chapter 146: CH 146: Howard’s Big Announcement (Part 1)"Good evening, everyone," the man’s voice boomed, echoing through the air like a gentle thunderclap. The words resonated through the cityscape, carrying on the wind to reach every corner of the globe. The tone was smooth, yet laced with an air of superiority. The broadcast was a global phenomenon, transcending borders and boundaries. It wasn’t just Dave and the rest of the beast tamers who were witnessing the spectacle; millions of people around the world were glued to their screens, their faces illuminated by the glow of televisions, laptops, and billboards. In the casino base, Anthony’s eyes narrowed as he watched the man on the screen, his expression unreadable. In other parts of the world, Chris, Gunther, and Simbi were among the countless individuals who had gathered around screens, their faces filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Despite the chaos that had ravaged the world, the broadcast had somehow managed to pierce through the darkness. Electricity might be limited, wires might be cut, and buildings might lie in ruins, but the message was still reaching the masses. And for those who couldn’t see it live, the news of what was said would spread like wildfire, carried by word of mouth and whispered conversations. The world was holding its breath, waiting to hear what the man on the screen had to say. As everyone gazed at the screen, listening intently to the man’s words, he paused for a moment before continuing. "My name is Howard Gray," he said, his voice clear and confident, "and I have come to address everyone over the impending issue going on in our world." The words hung in the air, and the crowd’s eyes remained fixed on the screen, eager to hear more. Howard’s expression was serious, his eyes locked onto the camera as if speaking directly to each individual. "I have not come on behalf of the government," he emphasized, his tone firm. "I have come on my own, with a solution of my own." The words sparked a mixture of reactions, some people exchanging skeptical glances, while others leaned in, intrigued. "The apocalypse has been going around for almost three weeks," Howard continued, his voice painting a picture of the chaos that had engulfed the world. "But except from the ’don’t panic’ message that was broadcasted everywhere to everyone, we haven’t received any updates on what to do by the government." The crowd’s murmurs grew louder, as if echoing Howard’s sentiments. "Which is why I’ve decided to step up and do what the government is supposed to do," he declared, his voice filled with determination. Howard’s gaze swept across the globe, his eyes seeming to meet those of every individual watching. "From my observations so far, majority of everyone on earth has powers," he revealed, his words dropping like a bombshell. "Some may not know, but they have powers within them. And there are also those that don’t have," he added, his tone matter-of-fact. "If you fall into that category, that’s just your fate." The crowd’s reactions were mixed, some people looking worried, while others seemed to be processing the information. "To know what powers you have," Howard said, his voice building anticipation, "I will be revealing the details of everything you need to know." The crowd’s collective breath caught in their throats, their eyes glued to the screen, waiting for the revelation that would change everything. "Firstly, here are the main list of powers present in the current world," Howard announced, his voice clear and authoritative. "One, the powers to utilize elemental things like fire, earth, air, and water." The words hung in the air, and the crowd’s reactions were a mix of awe and skepticism. Some people’s eyes widened in amazement, while others looked like they were trying to process the information. It seemed almost as if the person was narrating a part of a story book to them, they couldn’t believe powers like that exists. Especially the lots of people staying at the casino base. They hadn’t left the casino for a long time, so they didn’t know what was going on in the outside world. "It seems surprising and unbelievable, right?" Howard asked, his tone hinting at the extraordinary nature of the powers. "Don’t be surprised, there are people that have those powers," he added, his words dripping with conviction. The crowd’s murmurs grew louder, as if they were discussing the implications of such powers, while there are those that just continued watching in silence. "Two, the powers to tame beasts, control beasts, merge themselves with beasts, speak the beast language, and shape shift into any beast form," Howard continued, his voice painting a vivid picture of the abilities. The crowd’s reactions were varied, some people looking fascinated, while others seemed stunned. "There are people that can do that?" one of the beast tamers watching asked, their voice filled with wonder. "I thought it’s only beast tamers we have?" The question hung in the air, and Dave himself was surprised by the revelation. He had never heard of such powers existing beyond beast taming and merging, and he couldn’t help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden. "The last but not the least," Howard said, his voice building momentum, "the power to lift large boulders effortlessly, to run faster than a moving train, to be shot by bullets but remain uninjured." The crowd’s eyes grew wide, as if they were imagining the possibilities. "The superstrength, superspeed, superendurance that you have?" Howard asked, his tone probing. "If you fall under this specific category, you’re automatically a member of my faction," he declared, his words sparking a mixture of interest and caution. "Yes, a faction," Howard said, his voice filled with conviction. "Among all three main powers, I have the third power, and I’ve created a faction to accommodate those like me." The crowd’s eyes were fixed on the screen, their faces a mixture of curiosity and caution. "I don’t know for the remaining two powers," Howard continued, "but I’m saying for mine that everyone with the mentioned powers can now become a member of my faction." The words sparked a sense of hope and belonging among some viewers, while others looked on with skepticism.
