[Location: Tino Adventurer Guild · Office]
"Hans, I appointed you as the head of Tino's Adventurer Guild. Do you think I did that just for you to slack off?"
Bang!
Accompanied by a roar from the Magic Communication Crystal Ball, the middle-aged man in front of the orb instinctively shrank his neck and laughed awkwardly.
From the other side of the Crystal Ball came a barrage of scolding—
"The Ense Empire is such a colossal entity, ranking in the top five dominions across the entire Star Continent."
"And now you're saying not even the Imperial Capital can gather enough high-quality fresh blood?"
"Do you know that for 10 consecutive years, no adventurer from the Southern Continent has been crowned with a 'title'?"
"Hans, many have told me before that you aren't a competent guild leader."
"But I believe you have the talent."
"That's why I entrusted you with managing the Ense Empire Adventurer Guild, to let your achievements speak for themselves. Is this how you repay me?"
