At a quiet clearing in the forest, Arthur leaned casually against a tree, a small, knowing smile tugging at his lips as he watched the player in front of him.
The man was impeccably dressed for the game world, his gear polished and gleaming, yet unassuming enough to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
"Mr. Gates," Arthur began, his tone light but tinged with amusement. "You've chosen quite the secluded spot to meet. Got a flair for the dramatic, hidden meet-ups?"
Gates chuckled softly, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "Dramatic? Hardly. This place is practical. Not many players come this deep into the woods. Besides, secrecy is key. You wouldn't want anyone getting wind of this, would you?"
Arthur nodded slowly, Arthur's lack of worry about an ambush wasn't baseless. He had considered every angle before agreeing to meet here, and there were solid reasons why he was confident this wouldn't turn into an ambush.
