Eternal Bond Guild headquarters occupied the top fifteen floors of a high-rise in Central Jakarta. Impressive, expensive, and designed to showcase the guild's status as one of Indonesia's top three.
Rama had been here exactly twice before. Once for the wedding reception Sekar had insisted on hosting here. Once for a "family day" event where he'd been introduced as "Guild Master Aditya's husband" and promptly ignored by everyone who mattered.
Back then, he'd been the E-rank embarrassment she'd married. A charity case. A joke.
Now, walking through the lobby beside Sekar, he was something else entirely.
"Nervous?" Sekar asked as they entered the elevator.
"Should I be?"
"Some of the guild won't take this well. Me bringing in my previously-E-rank husband and claiming he's suddenly Level 48? They'll be skeptical."
"Let them be skeptical. I'll prove it."
"Some will be hostile. Especially Hendra."
