In the main hall of the Vantistart Villa, two ladies, one old and one middle-aged, were having tea in silence with happy smiles on their faces. They were Clara Samaila and Lily Lousia.
Clara was about to add something to the ongoing conversation, when both of them felt a vibration in their storage rings.
They both took out a rune stone from their storage rings. Both of their rune stones were glowing red, signalling a life-threatening situation. The smiles on their faces vanished in an instant, and they both took off at an extreme speed.
While Cilia herself was in a dire situation, the man leading them now understood that he would need to take help from his other partners to take down Cilia in the limited time they had. While this seemed something that should hurt his pride, in their profession, there was no place for emotions. Everything should be focused towards extracting the result.
He turned and nodded to his partner on the right.
