Chapter 56: Chosen Prey

Unaware of the game the leadership was playing, the morale of the base was at an all-time high. More people were being given opportunities to prove themselves and were being rewarded for it.

The plethora of rewards included better food, better housing, women and men of their choice. But the most sought-after reward was access to the sauna.

In a place where most people weren't allowed to take showers, the sauna was a luxury only a few could have. Michael made sure of it.

One's rank didn't matter. Their social standing definitely didn't matter.

What mattered was their achievements.

Or in some cases, the power they awakened.

Alaric's experiment led to a rise in some powerful abilities.

To tame these wild horses, Michael let them experience the luxuries that awaited them. It fed the fire in them to get those things again. Hence, ensuring their loyalty.
