Eric did not mind at all if Ethan came to visit again. He already knew that, sooner or later, Ethan would come looking for him after their last meeting.
After confirming Eric's availability, Ethan returned to his office to finish the work that had been left unfinished earlier.
To meet Erik, Ethan would head to the western district, ring three, specifically to a drinking spot located inside an alley.
After Erik had told him about Shadow Guild's attack plans, his words proved to be true. Ethan was actually reluctant to admit it, afraid that what Erik said might have been bait meant to trap him.
However, given the current situation, Ethan still needed him, especially the information Erik provided about Shadow Guild.
Ayaka would never have expected this beforehand. That was understandable, since Erik had an unknown background.
In the end, it would be Ayaka's decision whether she trusted Erik's words or chose to reject them.
