Green Claw Guild.
Inside of a large meeting room.
A large oval table made of wood hosted a number of people who were seated nearby. As everyone looked at the big screen near the room's entrance, their auras spread through the whole room.
On the monitor was a short video depicting an incident.
The video didn't last for long. It was about a couple of minutes long, and it soon ended. Once it did, silence filtered throughout the entirety of the room.
Everyone's attention then shifted toward a certain individual.
"This video has been circulating all over the internet. Do you have an answer for this, Dominion?"
A deep voice echoed out into the room. It belonged to the current Guild master of the Green Clawn Guild.
Jerome Nox.
ranked, and ranked within the top 100 of the Hero rankings.
He was a man in his mid-fifties with short green hair and a bulky body.
His face, although expressionless, contained boundless anger as he gazed at Dominion, who shivered under it.
"T,that…"
He stuttered under the gaze. However, he was soon able to muster up enough courage to speak.
"…I was caught off guard. He used some sort of trick, I-"
"Enough."
Jerome cut.
"That's now what I want from you."
Jerome threatened as Dominion found himself unable to breathe as Jerome's aura pressed on him.
He continued.
"What I want from you is an answer on how we can mend this situation. Currently, we've become a laughing stock among the other guilds because of this one incident. How are we supposed to mend our reputation?"
"This.."
Dominon looked around.
He looked at Jerome and swallowed out a mouthful of saliva before opening his mouth carefully.
"A,although he's powerful, he's not as strong as you. If you allow me to deal with the situation, I can find a way to mend the situation…"
Back then, although for a short period of time, he felt the youth's strength.
…It wasn't as domineering as his guild master.
He wasn't exactly sure how strong he was, but the guild master was unquestionably above him in terms of power. He was certain that he would be able to handle him.
