Mr. Freeman gave them all a briefing, describing the actual details of the mission. Telling the best hunters in the Apex Region that there is a rising human threat in the Dark Continent who goes by the name of The Flame Emperor.
For the sake of peace and continued control over the Dark Continent's resources, each and every one of these golden-collared guards was ordered to take over the city, plunder the valuables, and kill anyone that continued staying loyal to this rogue force.
The common word amongst all of them is that those hunters without collars were never briefed on the reality of the event, only those who the Director had full control over knew the real dark plot behind this event.
They were meant to set up a new station here, take over the profitable dungeons, and put their own craftsmen in charge of continuing the trade deals.
Just like the un-collared hunters said before, most of this information was gathered by low-level spies that live in Solara and the outer cities within Sector 1.
They must just be intertwined with your everyday traders that come by the city.
It's how they knew about the dome, the Flame Emperor's name, the plentiful dungeons, and many other details about my land.
However, the Inner Circle, my high-powered teammates are not well known at all.
We don't show our power to the public, and none of them know our true faces or names.
Even the defeat of the Dark One that ruled over Valor City is only known in a very tight-knit community of original members of the City.
This attack against us from the Association is the first public display of the Crimson City's true power, and with thousands of eyes on the event, word will travel fast of the Flame Emperor's strength.
Satisfied with this description, I now understand the true motive behind the Director's attack. However, I want more information about the Association itself.
I continue to interrogate them more, asking questions about their training methods, secret facilities, and any extra information about Mr. Freeman that they know, but the results aren't exactly what I expected.
The Apex Region seems to have many different zones, and only certified personnel are allowed in each zone.
These B-Class Elites are only allowed to train in the B-Class dungeons, and the only way to find them is through a transportation system that is shrouded in mystery.
Just like when I was inside the moving mana shielded rooms during the exams, and it felt as though the cube I was standing in was moving from random location to random location on some kind of rail system; this is all these hunters know too.
They are as blind to the inner workings of the Association as me...
None of them have any idea what the yellow energy Mr. Freeman uses is, they just called it cursed energy, so trying to talk to them about Divine or Soul Energy turns out to be useless.
In the meantime, Abby restores them all to perfect health, I give them food and water from my storage, but after we're done here; I put their mana blocking cuffs back on and close the cells.
While I walk out with my teammates I swing the pink crystal ring of keys around my finger.
"They may have been forced to do what they did, but they still did it.... I need some more time to think about their futures. Their punishments will be decided in 5 days as well."
We walk out the front door to be greeted again by the man and woman. I toss them the keys back and smile.
"We're all done here, treat them nicely until I return. Seems they weren't as bad as we thought, and were very cooperative today."
