Ethan told Celia he'd be there soon.
He had logged out near the Life Greenhouse the previous day, planning to start grinding mobs as soon as he logged back in. But Jade's situation had delayed him until now. He had hoped to jump straight into farming, but now this guild crisis had erupted.
Celia explained that as soon as she logged in today, ReaperX, FrozenYears, Cupid's Wrath, VoidKnight, and TheActor had immediately submitted their exit requests. More applications had followed in quick succession.
Knowing Ethan, Slashblade, and the others had important matters to attend to, she had been stalling for time. Now that Ethan was back, she finally felt some relief. Still, she continued trying to persuade the five leaders to reconsider.
It didn't take long for Ethan to reach the guild headquarters.
