The city of Arangar.
Inside a private facility that belonged to the guild Obscure Embers.
A spacious hall and a large round table. Five people could be seen sitting around the table. It could be seen from their sitting arrangements that the four rankers were divided into two groups.
One group contained a young man and a gracious yet seductive-looking lady. The other was made of three men of seemingly different ages.
"Eren, you didn't tell us a Master ranker would be involved in this deal. Then again, whatever makes you comfortable. Hahaha!"
Morty spoke first and broke the silence that had ensued for quite some time. He knew there was a psychological play involved here. Something along the lines of whoever speaks first has to make compromises in the end. But frankly, he was tired. And a bit affected by the deafening silence. He had to speak.
Eren smiled when he heard Morty Derringer's words and responded in a cheerful voice.
