With a faint smile playing on his lips, Adam pointed at each of them as he said calmly:
There was no haste in his gesture… nor any hesitation.
His demeanor showed no arrogance, but it left no room for negotiation either.
"I want all of you; this nameless guild wants you."
The words carried a weight that belied his calm tone.
The silence that followed was heavy. The air itself seemed to tighten, as if any false move could shatter that moment into violence.
Some hands moved slightly, muscles tensed, and more than one gaze turned openly hostile.
And with several murderous intentions directed at him, did he care?
The atmosphere could explode at any second.
Of course not; only Adam knows how to cure the guild leader. In short, he holds all the cards… Besides, we can't forget Synes, a thousand-year-old demon who is currently weakened but still very powerful.
He wasn't on enemy territory… he was in a position of advantage that none of them had yet accepted.
