Looking at the overly excited Ibrahim... Danver smiled from molar to molar, exposing all his teeth out to the world.
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Everyone applauded, as they felt pumped from the notion that they had just watched a star being born.
They ran towards Danver and hugged him as if he had known them for ages.
Some people lifted him up and even carried him on their shoulders as well.
After this, wouldn"t they be able to brag that they had been right there when the record was being created?
d.a.m.n! it felt good to be a side-character!
As for Danver, even though he was grateful, he wasn"t too happy with the results..... as he knew that he could"ve done better if only he had practiced more.
Hence he decided to retake it again within the last week of the world record event.
He needed to do at least a hundred hand jumps so as to create a ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce between that would be difficult for one to beat.
.
And so just like that, the world Record event continued on..... until it"s 3rd week.
Danver ended up beating his own record.... but didn"t make it to 100 hand jumps.
He ended up 87 jumps instead.... and he was the 4th and final Deiferus world record holder for the event.
He was given a record holder certificate, and was also given a contract to be the face of one if the future cereals that would be produced.
Overseer Lyore didn"t know how the poster was going to look like.... but all he wanted, was for it to seem as if the cereals gave enough energy to Danver, so that he could do more hand jumps.
One should know that the construction of the cereal making factory building within the food industry.... would soon be completed.
And when that happened, Cereal would be the new breakfast meal in Baymard.
So right now, the food industry marketing team was focusing on how to market it....while waiting for construction to be complete.
Because Lyore had already made cereal samples previously with Landon in the food industry labs and kitchens.... and now, he and most of the leaders knew what this cereal thing was.
So they decided to look at marketing, since they had to wait for the factory to be built.
Anyway... Danver was chosen as one of the faces for poster promotions.
.
And so just like that, the 3-week world record event finally came to an end with more champions arising from the woodworks.
There were champions from every empire within the Pyno continent, which made the people of those places proud.
The newspapers posted and showcased the winners of this year"s event.
And the Museum already got into action by inviting the winners over, so as to sculpt and head structures of the winners.
This was still a historical event, and needed to be recorded down properly.
So even the names of all those who partic.i.p.ated would still be doc.u.mented.
Except that it would say that they lost to the winner.... and of course the first, second and third runner-up positions also had to be properly noted as well.
Many years from now.... people would say things like: My great-great-grandfather lost to Danver Wallace back in the days.
It was history, and needed to be properly recorded.
But while Baymard was in a state of bliss.... one of its dear friends was not.

--Outskirts of Unknown Secret Hideout, Arcadina--
.
"Heee-heeeheee-heeeheeeheee!"
"Gallop! Gallop!"
Currently, 5 Carriages that were guarded by 20 men on horseback..... calmly made their way through a busy busy road that led deep into the forest.
Looking at the obvious lack of men around the carriages.... one might be tempted to rob those within the carriages.
But if one dared to make a move, they would already be dead before they knew it.
Travelling alongside these carriages, although in hiding..... were more than 500 armed knights ready to kill anyone who dared to approach their master.
They had created a ma.s.sive circular formation all around their master from all angles.
So some of the hidden soldiers had already checked and cleared the roads of any danger way before their master"s carriage could even pa.s.s on that spot.
And even though it was so, those on horseback directly around the carriages didn"t dare to let their guard down for even a split second.
.
The carriages calmly drove into the forest, and finally arrived at the bottom of a violent waterfall.
The carriages carefully threaded around the waterfalls.... and finally stopped before a slightly different stone wall.
One would think that the stone wall had probably become dull over time due to the waterfall.
But that was not the case, as this was a secret pa.s.sageway.
And to make people less suspicious, several stony regions around the walls..... had also been made to resemble the real entrance.
.
Right now.... on the carriages" left-hand-side was the ma.s.sive stone wall, and on its right-hand side was the violent waterfall.... whose waters gave a perfect camouflage for those who tried to peep at what was going on behind the waterfall.
Standing there, one of the guards looked up towards the right of the ma.s.sive stone wall.... and immediately spotted a fist-sized hole there.
He then shot an arrow that had a yellow cloth on it into the hole.
"Pieu!"
They waited for 3 minutes more, before they finally heard the thick stone wall open up.
"Drrrrrrrr!"
The wall was like a rectangular boulder, which had been shaped and fixed into the waterfall by them.
So every time people had to leave or come, the thick stone boulder had to be pulled or pushed by at least 20 people at once for it to move.
In short, they had treated the boulder like a door.
Hence they had also placed metal bars on the other side of the boulder to keep it closed at all times.
.
"Drrrrrrrr!"
The rectangular door-shaped boulder opened, and the carriages, the guards, as well as all 500 hidden knights, all rode in at once.
They pa.s.sed through a tunnel which was directly under the waterfall, before reaching a ma.s.sive estate that was surrounded by hills.
The carriages rode straight into the estate, pa.s.sing over several buildings..... before finally stopping at the largest and tallest building of them all.
And just when the master of the place stepped into the ma.s.sive mansion, several people ran towards him hastily.... and one of them had a letter in his hands.
"Master... it"s for you.
It"s from Home...
They said it"s urgent!"
