Constantine, the Champion of Wrath and Guild Master of Sword of Justice, was hosting a large gathering that day in Valantar City—a city near the border between the Kesseon and Dissidia Kingdoms.
In the same room were representatives from the highest ranks of the Valantar Guilds Alliance, a powerful coalition of guilds based in Valantar City.
This alliance had previously attempted a raid on Slumdon Town, but their plan had failed due to their members' lack of discipline. Now, after enforcing strict reforms, they were determined to return, stronger and more organized.
Constantine rose from his seat. "I think it's time we act. We can't delay any longer," he began.
"Constantine!" Lucy, Guild Master of FairyTool, scoffed. "Sounds like you're just stalling. You talk a big game, but where's the proof?"
