"Know thyself, Master Jiana.
Tell me, do you believe yourself to be a capable leader or administrator? Or do we talk business for real?"
Eren's question made Jiana look deep into her psyche. As harsh as Eren's words were, they were unapologetically honest. And something like this was bound to strike a chord in her mind.
Jiana shook her head frantically as if to get rid of all the negative emotions. She then looked at Eren and Nina standing together and narrowed her eyes at both of them before commenting.
"You know, Eren. There's one more thing I haven't told you or Master Nina. I didn't want to sour Master Nina's mood or create unnecessary friction between her and the rest of the guild members because of her connections with you.
This is perhaps the biggest reason why I am hesitating to assimilate my guild into yours. Even when I know you would probably offer me the most generous offer out of all the upcoming ones."
