"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the Akatsuki organization doesn't know the Red Spider Lily has appeared?"
"Possible! After all, no one has seen any trace of Akatsuki for a long time. They say they've all gone into seclusion to cultivate!"
"So the Red Spider Lily is just going to be left hanging here?"
Everyone was growing increasingly frustrated. They had waited for half a month. During that time, a few petty thieves had tried to lay their hands on the Red Spider Lily, only to be jointly stopped by the people from the major factions. In their eyes, only the Akatsuki organization had the right to claim this sacred herb. Any other faction that wanted it would be obstructed by all the major powers.
