Chapter 201: Thank You, Iris!
"I don’t know who’s behind all this. But..." Iris’s voice trailed off, worried about shocking Eric with the news of their Guild’s utter destruction.
After the explosion, Iris learned from the news that around 50 victims were discovered. Some were severely burnt and challenging to identify. All the members seemed to have perished in that place. She didn’t have time to find the others.
Besides not wanting involvement with Shadow, she also aimed to avoid alerting their enemies. These enemies had sent an evil creature to kill her and destroy their Guild. Let their enemies know that all the Shadow Guild members had died there.
