"Look, Derek Voss from the Emerald Legion guild is here again."
"I've heard that he pesters Miss Alice every time Master Anton isn't around."
"I wonder what he's come for this time."
The other guild members eating at nearby tables began gossiping as soon as they saw Derek Voss. He had jet-black, slightly messy hair, medium-length, falling just above his eyebrows and brushing the nape of his neck.
"What do you want, Derek?" Alice asked coldly.
Derek sneered. "I want nothing this time," he said, tossing a glowing circular card to Alice.
"Give that to your mother," Derek said, smiling, his expression turning mocking. "I hope your guild doesn't rank like last time." With those words, he left with his goons.
Max looked at the glowing circular card curiously, then at Alice's frowning face. "What's this?"
Alice sighed deeply and said, "It's an invitation to The Guild Summit."
