Situations like this were always exhausting to handle, and it was similar to a scam that one would pull on a pushover. I wasn’t sure whether he told me that because he was genuinely worried about me or if he had an ulterior motive, but the latter was most likely.

Everyone had gathered here to prepare for the upcoming threat, but they were still outsiders despite uniting as one here. We were getting along right now, but there was no guarantee that today’s friends wouldn’t become enemies in the future.

For example, the Blue Guild. The guild was worthy of the best title, it had many businesses from many different industries, and it had a huge influence as well, which wasn’t just limited to Lindel. The guild could influence the entire continent, so it was natural that there were many guilds that wanted to reduce the guild’s influence.

On the outside, they acted as if they were ready to lay down their lives, but behind our backs, it was natural for them to have other thoughts.
