Gabriel was slightly taken aback when he saw Scarlet sitting there, but the surprise did not stay on his face for long. After a second, he understood. Scarlet held a very high position in the Valerian Kingdom. She was not just Hero Rank, she was also the Vice Leader of the Adventurer Guild. Someone like her being invited to a high class banquet like this made perfect sense.
He adjusted his hat slightly and continued observing the hall quietly, his eyes moving from one table to another.
Not long after, he saw another familiar face.
Jack Arefield.
The golden haired Vice Guild Leader of Olympus was seated at a central table not too far from the main area. He was dressed in a well tailored suit, sitting with a relaxed posture as if he was used to places like this. Several ladies kept glancing at him while talking among themselves, and Jack responded with polite smiles and calm conversation. It was clear he was used to attention and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
