On the top floor of the Alchemy Guild's building, the meeting hall was fully occupied with top figures of the Alchemy Guild in the Dark City.

Everyone was looking at a handsome elf sitting on the chair of honor. He was wearing a scholarly gray robe, and he had this amiable scholarly aura around him that made everything feel closer to him. He was none other than the Senior Grandmaster Magic Smith, Braylon.

However, the atmosphere of this meeting room was not joyous as a few moments ago, as everyone had different expressions on their faces. Most of them were shocked silly.

As for why they were shocked, it was all because of Jacob's response to their summoning. Not only did he not appear despite being given an invitation, but upon summoning, he even asked why he was being summoned.

This wasn't even as offensive as what he said after he was given the reason. According to the floor assistant, Jacob bluntly said if Braylon wanted to meet him, he could come to his workshop.
