The Grandmaster tapped a glowing override rune etched directly into the surface of his crystal desk. The broadcast owl perched on Solomon's shoulder whirred back to life. Its optical lens clicked open and projected a faint green light to indicate the stream was active.
"Try not to start another war on your way back," the Grandmaster sighed.
Solomon offered a faint smirk. He stepped out of the office and let the heavy doors close behind him.
The moment he entered the hallway, a translucent interface materialized directly across his retinas. Lines of text rapidly scrolled at the very edge of his vision as viewers flooded back into the channel.
[User12]: WE ARE BACK LIVE!!!
[1Fizzy]: What exactly happened? The broadcast just cut to black for almost an hour!
[BloodKnight]: The administration likely needed to debrief him. Standard procedure.
[LazyCat]: I honestly thought he got banned for that arena beatdown lmao.
[GoonLord]: THE KING HAS RETURNED!
