It was my favorite blondie secretary who opened the door for a bunch of guys in suits. All looked like a fucking models. Tall, handsome, and well-dressed. To the point that she had a problem keeping her eyes off them, which I noticed.
I can't say for sure, but it looked to me like they fixed their looks with the help of the device. Some of them obviously were hunters, but others clearly weren't. With eyes as keen as mine and my knowledge, you could see it in the way they moved.
There was one guy of Latin descent, one black guy, two Asians, and the last two were white. And it was the last two who didn't look like hunters to me. Among them, one was carrying a suitcase. The rest definitely was, but it was hard to say how good they actually were. From the get-go, I thought that probably at least B rankers. Maybe A. It all depended on if they were trying to hide their skills or not.
Those two were allowed to go in the middle, while the rest surrounded them. Two on each side. Will stood up to them, and one guy offered a handshake.
- Good morning - said one of the white guys. - I'm Benjamin Beaulieu. I'm a lawyer, and I'm here to assure you that everything will be fair for both sides.
The guy was tall, and very fit. A brunette with the hair on the sizes cut very short, while the rest on the top was left a bit longer, and put on hair fell, so they would stand up. His attire was elegant and definitely pricey. A made-to-measure suit, dark blue, with a silk tie. Black, which had golden, floral patterns.
I didn't get up, but my eyebrows climbed up my forehead.

- Nice to meet you. I'm William, and this is my friend Peter. He is the father of the people all of you, or people from your organizations wished to challenge to a duel - my friend explained after pointing at me with an open hand.
- I'm also here to make sure this will be fair - I threw at them.
It made the lawyer smile briefly.
- I have with me mister Wulf Schwab, the CEO of 'Wolf Warriors' company. Since the company heavily invested in various organizations here in Arc, it's natural that he showed interest in this endeavor - he explained, pointing at a blonde guy on his left.
Tall, muscular, with hair split in the middle, covering both sides of his forehead, and leaving the center. He had deep blue eyes and was also wearing a suit, although without a tie. A pink shirt, under a crimson vest and jacket, with matching pants.
- Then we have the heads of major organizations involved. Mister Aaden - he pointed at the black guy on his right.
He was buff, with a grey suit wrapped tightly around his muscular body. Despite that, there was a lot of grace in the way he moved, which was time main reason why I classified him as a hunter. His hair was cut short. He had a mustache, and a beard, which connected to each other around his mouth. Quite squared face, with brown eyes looking intently at Will, while completely ignoring me.
On his wrist was a golden watch.
- Mister Satoshi Tanaka - he pointed further to the right, to the guy who was the last one on that side.
A tall guy, definitely slimmer than his neighbor. He had a completely dark suit without a vest and a white shirt. The tie was also black. The last part of his attire was the hat, but he took it off, placing it on the table, and revealing his dark hair, put on hell, and combed it to the side. There was also a very thin mustache slightly over his lip.
He was also looking intently at William.
- On my left, we have mister Sung-Jin Park - he pointed with his hand to the other side.
The guy looked younger and had sunglasses on. His hair was a bit longer, and not gelled. Black obviously, although his suit was dark blue. His posture was similar to Satoshi's, but you had more arrogance in the way he handled himself. He was smiling.
He had high cheekbones, a small nose, and a V-shaped chin. Compared to the frame of his body, his head also looked small.
- And last but not least, we have mister Luis Martinez - he pointed further to the left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe last guy was slightly shorter but more stocky. His suit was black, with the white shirt unbuttoned enough to expose the upper part of his chest, where one could notice a fragment of a tattoo, and also a thick gold chain on his face.
His face was quite handsome, with black hair combed backward, exposing a few grey hairs. He also had an earring in one ear, and a golden watch on his wrist.
- Since we have the introduction behind us, why don't we sit down? - Will proposed.
This made Benjamin look at me briefly before he chuckled shortly.
- Of course - he said, then sat down alongside the others.
- Before we start, I just wanted to say, that I appreciate the fact that you came with such a strong delegation, and on top of that the fact that you seem to also be pursuing something which is important to us, and that is the fairness of this whole event - William said. - I hope this will allow us to solve the issue fast, and in a way that would let our whole community avoid any internal conflicts.
- We hope for the same - Wulf Schwab. - As a representative of 'Wolf Warriors' we want nothing else to support humanity in taking the next step of evolution thanks to this amazing technology that, you, and many others similar to you, provided to the rest of humanity. We didn't have an occasion to speak before, so I would like to officially thank you for this generosity.
Will gave him a smile in response.
- For us here, in Arc, there was no other choice. We simply couldn't keep this amazing, as you called it, technology, just to ourselves. It makes me happy, that this move is so highly appreciated, but let's go directly to the matter we all gathered here to resolve. I'm sure we all are busy, so It would be wise to not waste the time unnecessarily - he then added.
- Of course. Let's begin then - Wulf agreed.
This exchange of wards was so fake, that I har to try really hard to not roll my eyes.
