The day of the party had arrived, and now I'm just waiting for Fiona to send the invitation.

From inside my office, I looked out the window, paying attention to every person passing by on the street in front of the guild.

In the game, after Delaer informed about the incident of locations mysteriously freezing for the player, the main quest "Discover the Incident" is triggered. There is no reward, and you only need to go to the designated location. The interesting part is the quest that activates right after completing it: "Find the Culprit," with that description in the quest.

Many residents reported the presence of a woman wearing a hanfu in all the frozen locations, and word has it that she roams the city as if she hadn't done anything.

Unfortunately, we didn't find her, but instead, it was Drakion, who was returning from a mission hunting the striped sides. At least, that's what he pretended to be doing, as his true motive was to place the protagonist in the right place, at the right time, away from the guild.

I put my hand on the window, smiling, and said:

"I hope you're ready for a change of plans, Fiona."

I continued to look at the street for a few minutes, and no interesting person appeared.

The office door opened, and Freytan entered, carrying the mission paper for the striped wolves.

"So, the Drakion Vlad finished the mission and prevented the pack from invading the city. He wants to talk to you personally."

"Alright, I'll attend to his request."

I stopped paying attention to the street, turned around, and walked towards Freytan, extending my hand.

"Shall we go?"

"Are you a child, after all?"

Freytan took my hand, descending with me to the first floor, where Drakion Vlad was sitting alone at a table, drinking rum with seven bags of one hundred gold coins spread across the table.

"Looks like you really completed it. Good job."

Drakion Vlad stood up, bowing to me.

"I appreciate it. Even after my mistake of forgetting the pelts, you didn't deduct a single coin."

While the conversation between me and Drakion Vlad continued, Freytan walked over to the counter, where Dealer was attending to all the adventurers.

"Is Amanda ready?" Freytan asked.

"Yes, she has learned almost everything she should, and she's just waiting for our master's orders."

"Great to hear that. I'm excited to see her in action."

"I would say I am too."

Currently, Dealer is aware of the entire plan, except for the part related to protecting the guild members. Now, Dealer is only helping to maintain appearances.

"Our guild master, there's a very nice place that recently opened. Would you accept going with me?"

Drakion spoke with a big smile on his face.

"If you pay, I don't see a reason to refuse."

"Our guild master, you really have no mercy for your adventurers, do you?"

"Hahaha, you were the one who called me, so you'll have to bear all the expenses."

"Well, I earned a lot of money today, so let's make the most of it."

' Alright, now we just need to go to the right place and wait for the moment when the party will begin. I'm eager to see you in person, Fiona ' I thought as I left the guild with Drakion, heading towards the west side of the city.

After walking, we ended up reaching almost the western exit gate.

"Now that we're far enough..."

Red flames emerged from nowhere, completely covering the left side of Drakion's face. He quickly turned and his right hand covered my face entirely, pushing me towards the ground

.

"Sorry, but you won't leave here alive today."

At that moment, I smiled, observing Drakion's arm being completely covered by the flames, rising an immense fireball into the sky.

A few seconds later, a group of hooded people wearing black clothes with red details and metal masks covering their faces appeared. The masks had different variations, some showing expressions of sadness, others apathetic, and some even expressing happiness.

They emerged from various houses, starting to run through the streets, initiating complete chaos.

At that moment, Drakion's fake smile began to distort as he pressed my face against the ground while he laughed and incinerated. His smile now stretched from ear to ear, and he thought:

' What a foolish plan you had, guildmaster. Now I will kill you myself. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to strengthen my relationship with Fiona so quickly. '

The superiority Drakion felt made him completely forget the fear he once had of me.

The flames emanating from Drakion's right arm began to intensify in heat. The flames, once orange, gradually turned blue.

"Hahahahah, Miss Fiona, if you still want something from this body, you better come quickly."

After a few seconds, the air started to cool. The flames, which were almost entirely blue, began to lose their strength, slowly returning to their original color.

"Perfect work. I knew I could trust you, little Drakion."

Twenty-nine meters away, the ground started to freeze, cracking and opening a hole. From it emerged a woman. Yes, that was Fiona.

She was a remarkable figure, with an uncommon beauty that captivated the gaze of everyone around her. Her white hair, like glistening snowflakes, gently fell over her shoulders, adding a touch of purity and serenity to her appearance. Each strand seemed to shine with a soft luminosity.

Her eyes were truly enchanting, with star-shaped irises that revealed her unique nature. They were a delicate combination of pink and black, creating a striking contrast. These stellar eyes seemed to glow with a seductive mystery, and when she fixed them on someone, it was as if the universe opened up before them.

Her skin was pale and translucent, reminiscent of porcelain's smoothness. Delicate features adorned her face, with arched eyebrows and lightly blushed lips.

Dressed in her hanfu, she displayed unmatched elegance. The white blouse, with long and wide sleeves, wrapped around her arms like graceful wings. Her upright and confident posture conveyed a majestic presence.

The pink skirt, adorned with a translucent black layer and embroidered pink stars, enveloped her legs with charming softness.

Delicate accessories complemented her look. Star-shaped earrings gently dangled from her ears, capturing the light and reflecting it with a subtle glow.

Observing her, it was impossible not to be captivated by her singular appearance. She embodied the delicacy, strength, and magic contained in a single being.

"Extinguish your flames. I want to see what remains of his body."
