Shane had no inkling of the private agreement between Vivian and President Riley.
All Shane could do was keep up a dry laugh while his mind raced, trying to conjure up a way to smooth over the situation.

"In any case, things are as they stand because of the phenomenon in the heavens and earth and the Old Demon Clan Faction. The situation in Lamijion will likely get very busy, and President Riley is already considering the possibility of even bigger incidents occurring in the future. She is currently in communication with the headquarters of the adventurer's guild in the Royal Capital."
That was typical of the prudent guild president.
