After business was done, Eril led Tang Shaoyang out of the workshop, leaving Gortham and Christopher behind. As soon as Tang Shaoyang and Eril left the workshop, Christopher turned toward Gortham, squinting his eyes. "Be honest with me, Old Gorth. He is not an adventurer from Akasian, right?"
"What are you talking about, Chris? Why would I lie to you?" Gortham shrugged.
Christopher observed the Guild Master suspiciously. "I don't really care what you are doing, but let me warn you not to play with fire, Old Gorth. We are too old for that."
"You look younger than me, though." Gortham winked his eye at his friend.
