Entrapment

Garen quickly arranged for Astraeus to be seated and instructed his disciples to prepare coffee for him. 

This time, he emphasized that the service must be exquisite and attentive, with every detail perfected to show respect to Astraeus. 

Given Astraeus's peculiar temperament and Garen's evident unwillingness to provoke him, he was very strict with his disciples to avoid any minor mistake that could cause unnecessary conflict.

Meanwhile, the leaders of other Guilds also gradually entered the grand hall, with the atmosphere becoming increasingly solemn and tense.

Some of them had actually arrived at the foot of the mountain earlier, but seeing Astraeus's grim expression, they dared not approach and waited for a while. 

Only after seeing that the Emerald Lion Guild's grand hall wasn't turned upside down did they dare to enter.
