As Ren read Leonel's message, a spark of anger began to rise inside him.
Guilds never changed.
They loved to say that teamwork and helping each other were their core values—but Ren knew better. Behind those pretty words was the same old greed that could never be satisfied.
Rare equipment, ranking, and reputation. That was all the guild cared about.
He wasn't surprised that Mike and Saya had left Leonel behind, but it still made his blood boil. They were the ones who invited him to the raid, and yet, they abandoned him the moment things got tough.
From what little Leonel told him, Ren could already imagine what had happened. He knew how those kinds of people worked. They blamed others for their own failures, and when danger appeared, they ran.
Still, a part of Ren was relieved. At least Leonel didn't go along with them. At least he didn't risk being wiped out.
