After a few hours, William found himself sitting in a cozy little restaurant near the guild. This particular restaurant was partially owned by the guild itself, a lucrative 50-50 partnership where half the profits went into the guild's coffers. Being affiliated with the guild had its perks, as the adventurers were offered enticing discounts on their meals here, which ranged from a modest 5% to an impressive 50%, depending on various factors.
As it was nearing afternoon, the restaurant was relatively quiet, with the usual throng of adventurers off on their various quests and missions. Capitalizing on the peaceful atmosphere, William had reserved a private room on the third floor, away from any potential noise and interruptions.
The door creaked open and a voice rang out, "Hello! Mister William. My name is Aurora Frosttail. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Miss Aurora, please, make yourself comfortable," William responded, motioning for Aurora to take a seat across from him.
