Leaving the unions registration office,peter booked a cab on his phone. Lee jihye had already left at this point.Peter didnt own a car.He wasnt exactly broke by any means but also wasnt that rich as most of his money came from e sports tournaments.He had enough money to get by and some to spare till next tournament.He was regarded as a prodigy among the community and received a lot of praise from people.
Around 15 minutes later,peters cab had arrived which was not a long time for cabs.Peter entered the cab and the driver started heading to peters home.

While he was heading home,They faced huge traffic.Both the cab driver and peter were extremely frustrated.They spent around 20 minutes in traffic.
"The guilds had to do it again,guess the union is just for show after all",said the cab driver to himself.
"huh,what happened?"
"A gate break.The union fellas didnt do anything about it this time too.Guilds had to do the governments job i guess."
"Hey,whats a guild?"
The cab driver busted into a wild laugh.But the stopped when he realized that this was a genuine question.
"Hey kid,you serious or messing with me?"
"I am serious",said peter.
"ok kid heres the run down,The union is a government entity that deals with gates.They do it as per orders and only step when there is major trouble.Guilds on the other hand are private entities that collect bounties for clearing gates."
Peter had not known anything about guilds as they arent advertised as much.Of course,you wouldnt advertise something when only 2 percent of the global population can actually gain anything.Peter decided to stay quiet and though to ask jihye later.

Peter had finally reached home and went directly to bed cuz he was exhausted.He slept like a baby.
Peter finally woke up the next morning and decided to check the clock.
"HOLY SHIT I ONLY HAVE HALF AN HOUR LEFT TILL MY APPOINTMENT."
