The upper echelons of the Killer Guild stirred restlessly the moment they heard Elder Bloodblade was going to take action. The very name seemed to rekindle their courage, washing away the fear that Aurek had inspired.
One elder leaned forward eagerly, his tone brimming with suppressed excitement.
"I've heard that the Black Dagger has sent a high-ranking figure to Eryndor City. Although they don't hold any grudge against Aurek, if there is profit to be made, I doubt they would refuse to cooperate."
Another elder chimed in quickly, seizing the thought.
"Exactly! If we can align with them, then our chances of eliminating Aurek will rise significantly!"
A third scoffed, though his voice carried the edge of bitterness.
"From what I've gathered, those cowardly fools at the Sapphire Bank have fled Eryndor City altogether. But… perhaps this is an opportunity for us."
