The man walking towards Gauss appeared to be in his thirties or forties, dressed in well-fitted light armor with the emblem of the Big Snake Adventurer Group on his chest.
His steps were steady, his aura restrained, clearly a person of significant strength.
Gauss and his companions had initially prepared to turn and leave, but seeing the man approach, they paused for the moment.
The man walked up to Gauss and his group.
His gaze immediately fell on Gauss.
"Hello, Mr. Gauss," the man said blandly while extending a hand.
He identified Gauss immediately without any pretense or mystery.
"I am William, the External Affairs Manager of the Big Snake Adventurer Group. Our leader noticed you all earlier and specifically sent me to greet you."
Gauss understood; indeed, it was Mr. Kidd of the Vives Clan who had been watching them.
After thinking it over, the only possible connection was that the Vives Clan had extended an invitation to him through Adelle some time ago.
