Jeremy's words unsurprisingly left Howard and Ella feeling quite irate.
Howard couldn't help but step forward and say to Jeremy, "It's true that we haven't contributed much to solving the instance of Shadow City. However, we did help explore the above-ground portion of Shadow City.
"If you intend to completely resolve the instance of Shadow City, you will undoubtedly need to venture into its underground section. Does our exploration of the above-ground part not count as a contribution?"
"Without our exploration, would you have been able to reach here so easily?"
In response to Howard's retort, Jeremy's expression remained remarkably calm.
"I hope you understand that if it weren't for me, you would have perished here long ago. You haven't even figured out what the most dangerous aspect of the Shadow City instance truly is."
Jeremy's words left those around him feeling slightly puzzled.
