The guild alliance system in this game is a bit complicated and the members of Everlasting should know about your request before I accept or reject it," Hiro said, giving an explanation that was quite reasonable and acceptable to Ace and the others who had put their hopes in him.

Ace put on a smile. At a glance, he looked disappointed, but he couldn't blame Hiro for the rejection he just got. For the first time in his perfect life, someone simply rejected him.

"Okay, I'll wait for your answer," Ace said in understanding.
