Eight Tiers (3)

"The seventh tier was called the Supreme. They could be said to be the most special group in the Gate World, but also the strongest and most mysterious. The Coordination Council you asked about just now was one of the many Supremes."

"That's too vague," the Collectors said.

The Collectors were dissatisfied with Norman's explanation, as it held little reference value. He said they were strong—but how strong? He said they were mysterious—but how mysterious? In what way were they mysterious?

The Collectors secretly exchanged opinions through their life fields and ultimately unanimously demanded that Norman, the interstellar merchant, explain the seventh tier clearly. If he refused to do so, they would replace him with someone else. Once they had fully understood it, it would also be time for Norman, the interstellar merchant, to die.

"We want detailed information. The very detailed kind," the Collectors said.

"This... I don't know much either. They're very mysterious, and their way of doing things is exceptionally strange, as unpredictable as natural disasters."

Norman found himself in a difficult position, and his voice unconsciously dropped several degrees. With his life at stake, how could he dare play tricks or hide anything now? But the seventh-tier Supremes were simply too unusual. He was only a minor interstellar merchant, and most of what he knew about the Supremes consisted of unverifiable rumors.

"Then tell us what you do know. The more detailed, the better. Don't overlook any detail. For example, was the title 'Supreme' something they called themselves?" the Collectors asked.

Hearing this, Norman hurriedly used body language to indicate denial before answering the Collectors' question.

"No, that wasn't the case. It was voluntarily added by those who compiled the tiers, and it was then widely recognized by every nation and force in the Gate World.
