The Avengers Alliance's return, and their hardline stance against Hong Tao, caused a tremendous stir across the nation.
At the same time, news that Hong Tao had sent members of his clan to take Spirit Medium into the Land of Chaos, planning to bury all the volunteers and alien races there if the fight for the key failed, was being frantically reposted and hotly discussed online.

Few had believed that Hong Tao would dare to do such a thing—or actually do it.
Moreover, the Land of Chaos had been successfully sealed, so no one had pursued the matter.

Like fools.
