After Bobota entered Skyvault Tower, he discovered that it was even livelier inside than he had imagined. Every floor was filled with large numbers of staff members working at dozens, even hundreds, of open desks without partitions.
According to Rachel, each floor of Skyvault Tower represented a different government department of Firstheart City. They had been gathered together to ensure openness and transparency, allowing everyone to supervise one another and prevent favoritism.

Rachel nodded. "Yes, their office isn't here... As for where it is, I don't actually know either. I heard there's a stronghold somewhere in the city, but their main base is still outside the city."

Rachel hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Still, I've heard that demon hunters bear immense pressure, like people walking a tightrope.
