"Damnit! Those mercenaries are too much!!" Victor—a fellow adventurer—yelled when he saw that both Marcus and Micc were all beaten up.
The adventurer guild had its own clinic that wouldn't charge its people, at least to a degree, and they were here right now.
Even the Elders were there, in fact. It was because Leiah and they were actually supposed to report their findings and what had happened in the mission.
When they found out Marcus and Nona were in the infirmary, they rushed to this area instead.
"What happened? They weren't always this shameless," the Elder asked, confused, troubled, and livid at the same time.
Indeed, as much as they were outnumbered and out-influenced by the mercenary guild, they still maintained a delicate balance. If not, the mercenaries would be forced to risk their lives out in the danger zone much more often than not.
