"Dear guests of the Midnight Inn, I am the Innkeeper, owner of this humble establishment," a deep, calm voice resonated across the Inn, providing a moment of peace amidst the turmoil and confusion.
Not all guests were ready to be up in arms - many had heard or knew of the Innkeepers reputation. Not just that, but it was somewhat of an open secret that Mary, who was seen walking around the Inn and working with the staff, was likely to be a Dao Lord.
But even an open secret is not known to all, and the reputation of the Inn alone was not enough to deter all guests because there would always be some who did not believe it, or felt that they had the backing to resist it. Most of all, there were just some guests who desperately needed to go back for various reasons, and had to do whatever it took, even if it put them in harm's way.
