The Circle Grows

Far away from this all, in a tall building in downtown New York City, another group was having a meeting. But the ambience of this one was a lot more formal.

"Mr. Grimm. I'm afraid your guild has been performing under its promised parameters. You had promised us that once you established the guild and started the guild wars, you would shoot to the top again.

"Yet, it has been a few months since you established Aces High, and the guild wars were last month. And you still haven't reached the position you promised. I'm afraid you can't be relied on anymore."

"You can't blame me for that, sir. It's that fucking kid and his Paragon guild! He's been cutting the grass under my feet since the tournament! His fucking base turned into a city during the update. How was I supposed to know that would happen?! What can I even do about it?!" Damien shouted, the veins on his face bulging.
