Apollo didn't hide his presence and walked straight towards the inn, where the guards quickly noticed him and became alert. One of the guards, a broad-shouldered man with a gruff voice, stepped forward.
"Who are you, and why have you come here?" he asked, his tone cautious but firm.
Apollo remained calm, his gaze steady as he replied, "I want to meet the leader of your Rose Clan. I have something important to discuss."
The guards exchanged wary glances, their eyes scanning Apollo with suspicion. His calm demeanour and confident stride made it clear that he wasn't an ordinary visitor.
One of the guards, a tall stern man, stepped forward. "The leader of the Rose Clan doesn't meet just anyone," he said firmly, his hand resting on the hilt of his weapon. "State your business or leave."
Apollo didn't waver. "I want to join your clan as a guest representative for the Ten Clan Assembly. I believe I can offer something of great value."
