The Guild Master of the Guild was an extremely mysterious man.
There wasn't much news about him, and despite my best efforts to dig deeper, all I ever managed to uncover was surface-level information. Nothing substantial, just the kind of details anyone could stumble across without really trying.
He was a rising star of the Containment Department, rising like a comet and making a name for himself in the World Congress before fading completely into obscurity, appearing once more as the Guild Master of the Severed Star Guild, one of the fastest rising Guilds within the island.
There wasn't much that I could pick up during my search, but if there was one thing that I understood, it was that this man was no normal person.
Staring at him sitting opposite me, his half-smile fixed in place while those cold, dark eyes locked unblinkingly onto mine, it felt as though I was under the scrutiny of some enormous predator.
My skin tingled, and my lips pursed dryly.
