"Everyone, let's discuss the matter. The Shadow Guild's power is growing stronger, and we need to figure out how to deal with them next. If their strength continues to increase, it might threaten our rule."
The City Leader had a hint of embarrassment on his face, as he was the one who initially suggested supporting the Shadow Guild.
"I think they can't just speak for themselves. First, we supported them, and now we want to suppress them. That might not be good," someone next to him said immediately, making the City Leader's expression even more unpleasant.
"It's not just my personal matter anymore; it's everyone's matter. Many civilians have already sided with them, and nearly a third of the adventurers in the city are Shadow Guild members. They've even gained substantial influence in other cities. If they continue to develop, all of your positions here will be in jeopardy."
