Alan navigated through the bustling advanced shop, his thoughts buzzing with excitement over the skill he had just purchased. He was eager to head to the training room to test out his new abilities. However a group of players stepped into his path, they were Axel's men and the famous Silver Rapier was among them.
"Lord Axel is looking for you. Please come with us," the tone carrying an unmistakable weight of authority. It wasn't a request—it was an order.
Alan, however, remained unfazed. Keeping his cool, he gave a casual smile and responded, "Actually, I was just about to see him too. Alright... lead the way."
The men exchanged glances, clearly not expecting such a nonchalant reply. But without another word, they turned and began leading Alan through the busy streets of the city. As they walked, other players nearby took notice. Seeing Alan in the company of Axel's men quickly stirred curiosity and concern among the crowd.
