Paul smiled, realizing that Mako and Bill were unfamiliar with the concept of guilds; however, he couldn't blame them since the military doesn't allow news about gilds or gangs to be released to the general public.
Mako and Bill had only encountered gangs so far which was why they knew about them, but guilds didn't operate in small or average cities like Emerald City which was they hadn't encountered them yet and had no clue that they existed.
Paul leaned back in his chair, ready to provide an explanation.
"Guilds are different from gangs. Guilds are recognized organizations that operate legally and publicly," Paul began, his tone filled with authority. "They take on missions that are assigned to them ranging from protecting important figures to resolving conflicts or investigating mysteries."
