It was already past noon when Jake finally stepped out of the Vivian Guild's building.
The midday sun shone brightly overhead, casting warm light across the lively streets of Haunfen City.
The roads were bustling with activity, with people walking along the sidewalks, merchants calling out to attract customers, and adventurers chatting among themselves as they went about their daily business.
The lively atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the tense meeting Jake had just left.
He paused at the entrance and glanced back at the building behind him.
'Finally, it's over.'
Jake stretched his arms and rolled his shoulders, feeling a pleasant ache spread through his body after sitting in the same position for so long.
Of course, the real problem wasn't the meeting itself, but a certain beautiful woman who had insisted on keeping him on her lap throughout the entire thing.
Just thinking about it made Jake's cheeks warm slightly.
"Well… it wasn't that bad."
