A week later.
The city of Mavelard.
Slowly, the city's restoration began to progress at full scale. Ashley sold many of LionArk's external assets solely to fund the city's reconstruction. Mavelard once again became the hope of many people.
Even though Ashley still held the position of guild leader, the City Authority Token remained in Ethan's possession.
Ethan would not hand that token to anyone. If something bad happened to Mavelard, he was the one who would take responsibility.
Ashley sat there, dealing with a stack of documents that required her approval, and Ethan stayed with her.
The two of them were inside Ashley's office in the LionArk headquarters building.
"The news about you defeating Silver Star has made a lot of people interested in working with us," Ashley said.
"That can help the city's economy. The more people who open their shops here, the more alive Mavelard's economy becomes," Ethan replied as he sat and sorted through the documents, helping Ashley.
