A Storm is Brewing

...

Forbidden City, Main Residence of the HeadHunter Guild.

And of the executives who were managing the branch of the guild in the Saint Heaven Kingdom were all currently gathered in the conference hall to discuss the future of their in this kingdom.

Earlier, they decided to go with the plan that Cruelty had suggested to explore the eastern borderlands of the kingdom. But at the very last moment, he suddenly 'changed' his mind and proposed a different plan instead.

Naturally, Cruelty and the others were not going to tell these cunning wolves that they failed their original plan. After all, these opportunists were going to stab them in the back the moment they learned about their failure.

Cruelty also made sure that the expert players that were accompanying them earlier were not going to spill the beans by making them sign a nondisclosure contract.
