"Gideon, we've been waiting for you. Please, have a seat."
Jade smiled and gestured toward the empty chair beside her.
All eyes were on him and the fact that none protested meant that Jade explained his role well.
The round table was already occupied. Besides Jade sat the representatives of the Merchant Guild, the Artificer Guild, the Aberrant Hunter Association, the Builder League, and White Veil, the organization responsible for doctors, nurses and medical personnel throughout the southern region.
They were all organizations that worked closely with the Merchant Guild, which acted as the bridge between countless factions, settlements and professional associations.
At the center of them all sat the Regional Guild Master herself.
Lin Yue.
She wore a simple black gown today, far less extravagant than the one Gideon remembered.
The only thing that hadn't changed was the black veil covering half her face, hiding her expression while leaving her wide eyes visible.
