When Pedro returned to his VIP room, he isolated himself to the discussion area and messaged Mathew about ARES Guild and Pedro's plan to recruit new members. Pedro told Mathew to contact his closest of friends and ask them if they would want to become a part of their guild.
Pedro did it this way so that Mathew could have a few trustable men under him in the guild. Whether they are also professional players of VR Games or not, Pedro did not care that much because they would most likely end up assisting Mathew in managing the guild.
Well… It's not because Pedro was a bit lazy in managing the guild matters because of his past experiences. It was just because he also had a responsibility that he needed to fulfill as a member of BHO.
