“Mr. Bernard, you're here too?”

The voices of the four adventurers instantly shifted to a nervous tone as Bernard walked over to their table. They recognized him immediately, he was the auditor who had handled their failed promotion commission.

But Bernard didn't acknowledge their greetings. Instead, he stood there, arms crossed, looking down at them with an expression of profound disappointment. His sharp gaze cut through their attempted pleasantries like a sword.

The four froze, exchanging awkward glances, unable to answer.
