After the Awakened One left, the mayor realized that their city was doomed. In a world where evolved bronze, silver, and golden-ranked beasts roam around, the chances of salvation without the help of such people are practically zero.
By this time, the mayor had already given up, as had everyone in the room. They had to admit the cruelty and hopelessness of the situation.
At this point, they had only one option left: to follow the Federation's call and leave the city, taking the elite and key assets with them.
But in the midst of the silence, Irene suddenly appeared. Her appearance surprised everyone, including the mayor, but also inspired hope. Seeing the Guild's uniform and Irene's unusual eyes, the mayor realized that she was an Awakened One.
The mayor was not a stupid man and realized that the Awakened Ones, knowing about the plight of the city, would not come here for no reason.
Perhaps they came here to help or to see how the city was dying with their own eyes.
