Adam and Blue Sea, who were waiting at the entrance of Duke Arsena's palace, were not kept waiting for long before a servant led them into the drawing room.
There, they were greeted by Duke Arsena himself, who asked them with a smile, "You two must be among the strongest adventurers. What brings you to me? I assume you haven't come just for a casual chat. If you have any proposals, now is the time to present them. My time is very precious."
Despite his calm tone, both Adam and Blue Sea could sense a slight irritation in Duke Arsena's voice, as if their unexpected visit had disrupted his plans.
Without any further preamble, Adam took a step forward and addressed Duke Arsena, "Your Grace, I believe that Storm City is not entirely secure at the moment. To ensure its safety, it is imperative that all NPCs and adventurers within Storm City collaborate. We represent the leadership of two adventurer guilds."
