Mercenary Association Top Floor.
In a luxurious room, a tall, beautiful woman sat behind a solid wood desk, reviewing a booklet similar to a ledger.
Behind her stood a burly, impassive middle-aged man clad in leather armor, his arms crossed, revealing the well-defined muscles of his body.
In front of the desk sat several people, both men and women, looking quite nervous.
They were the senior management of the Demon Mountain City Mercenary Association Branch, authoritative figures with significant power not only in Demon Mountain City but also in the wider surrounding area. Yet there they were, sitting neatly and tensely, their eyes uneasily fixed on the young beautiful woman before them.
After what seemed like an eternity, the beautiful woman raised her head and tossed the booklet onto the table, "The ledger is well-kept."
