"You... you dare lay a hand on someone from the Reynolds Trading Company? Do you Renegades have a death wish?" a voice shouted from within the group of Reynolds crafters just as Celia finished her brief summary of events.
"That's him, Ethan," Celia said quickly, spotting the speaker. "He's the other Expert from this contract, the Engineering specialist."
"Heh, the second dog shows its teeth," Ethan said with a cold smile. "Leo, pin him."
"Huh? Oh, you got it!" Leo was momentarily surprised but then shot forward like a bullet.
The guild hall was a Safe Zone where combat skills were disabled, but physical actions weren't restricted. You could brawl all day without losing a single hit point. It was also private property, so the city guards had no jurisdiction here.
The Expert-level Engineer who had spoken found Leo's fist smashing into his nose.
