Chapitre 216: Mission Failed

Deep within the ordinary-looking textile shop which is inconspicuous during the day, several men and a woman gathered around a huge room. Even in broad daylight or at night, the shop is actually a front for its real operations. A mercenary guild. Some of the mercenaries were about to set out for their mission, leaving only Elric, Eve, Roy, and another man.

After the rest had gone away, two other figures appeared in the hallway leading to the room. Both of them were wearing dark cloaks, with the hoods down to conceal their faces. As soon as they came to the open and had let their presence known, the four immediately got alerted and stood up to greet them.

The two cloaked figures, with the towering man on the lead, entered the guild master's private quarters quietly. Elric and the two other men followed suit while Eve remained in the hall, wistfully staring at the door.
