Tianquan City, Zero Wing Residence.
Because Zero Wing had made such a stunning showing in the battle at the Tower of Secret Pact, its residence was packed with newly joined members. Their numbers had more than doubled compared to before and were still steadily increasing.
The speed of this growth was so staggering that even the major powers active in Tianquan City found it alarming.
Just the number of Tier 3 experts gathered at Zero Wing's Tianquan City residence alone was enough to astonish the major first-rate Guilds. There were already over ten thousand Tier 3 experts, and that number was still growing.
"What's going on with Zero Wing? Why did they suddenly gather so many Tier 3 members at their residence?"
"Could Zero Wing be planning some major operation?"
"That's entirely possible. Ever since the battle at the Tower of Secret Pact, Hand of Sacred Heart has publicly declared all-out war on Zero Wing Guild. The Beastman Empire is Hand of Sacred Heart's home ground. With their ability to control Holy Shaping Monsters, experts from other Guilds simply don't dare provoke them. They've even occupied part of the Black Dragon Empire, while the roads around Silverwing City have been blockaded. Even with a Teleportation Hall, its profits can't rise. Anyone who dares leave Silverwing City gets hunted to death by Holy Shaping Monsters. Now that Zero Wing's strength has surged, they might be planning to settle things with Hand of Sacred Heart in the Beastman Empire once and for all."
The players curious about Zero Wing's residence began discussing the matter in private. They felt that Zero Wing would likely use this opportunity to expand aggressively. After all, the Tower of Secret Pact had become Zero Wing's greatest safeguard—something no one could shake.
