Banquet for nobles (6)

After this bomb was dropped, Viscount Teomold immediately glared at the guild master who still had his head lowered.

The look in his eyes was as if he was saying, "Why did you do something so crazy and stupid?"

But the guild master kept his head down the entire time as if he was afraid to look up.

Seeing this, Viscount Teomold had no choice but to think quickly on his feet.

After a few seconds, he said, "Count Zwein, I had no idea that such a thing was happening in my territory. As long as you give me a chance, I promise that I will give you and his majesty a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

In short, he was throwing the Adventurer Guild under the bus.

At this point, he only cared about keeping his own head since attacking the business of the king was a death sentence.

He would do anything to live, even if he had to throw away everything else.
