Chapter 85: Gathering (1)

The next morning, the annual guild convention officially started after all the participants arrived. Normally, the week-long convention would only feature various guild competitions, auctions, and the anticipated gathering party on the last night. 

This year was more special because of the special gate; the gathering party had now been pushed to the first day instead. After all, every guild that participated would be focusing more on the gate instead. 

The gathering now also had to be held in the afternoon rather than the night to give the participants an adjustment and rest before they ventured inside the gate. 

"You look quite good," Rise suddenly complimented Hayes out of the blue, which scared the other. 

Right, he did not feel happy with this compliment at all; the hair all over his body stood up instead! How scary it was to be praised by the one and only Rise Lee?
