Jack was clothed in a full set of black robes while he was followed by three others

Two out of the three were people fa of Fists of the Black Mark Association, Ankh and Manila Neither of the their Black Mark Association unifor a pair of black boxing globes with silver linings

As for the other one, it was White Cloud Gate’s Corrine

The two King of Fists stood in attention, and greeted Garen respectfully

"Black Mark Association’s surrender is co White Cloud Gate Gate Master Garen, you possess great knowledge and great skill in martial arts, we dare not defy you; however, we have one request: please don’t put us in the same team as that traitor Leo!" Manila said cal the conflict putting you all together ht raise, I will be wary to not put you two and Leo in one group You will each lead your own groups respectively, with your own respective names In fact, you can just use your old names from your Black Mark Association days Black Group and Mark Group was it?"

"Yes sir, that will be great"

Garen nodded in agreehtning Group Jack and Corrine, you will both lead the rest and forence Then there’s another group, that I will e myself"

In a few simple sentences, Garen summarized and made order out of the complicated structure of White Cloud Gate

In total there would be five groups, three of the roups, then there will be a fourth group inal followers The rehters froroup and be led by Garen hiement provided a clear distinction between the st all of them, the ones that were inal body of White Cloud Gate As for the rest, they were only submissive for now because they had been defeated

However during such tiet, so thelately?" Garen looked at Corrine

Corrine nodded,"News from Cynthia, the first is about Mr Su Lin and Celine The two of theht in so by the border We still don’t knohat’s their situation right now"

"Conflict?" Garen frowned,"Conflict related to the borders?"

"Only two states in the borders, the Confederation has already sent its army that way Soon it will be dissolved," Corrine nodded,"then there’s a second piece of news: A cruise ship carrying Confederation students was boarded by ers hostage and have already killed 13 students Right now there are de the Weisht to the point," Garen cut her short

"Oh, the Confederation and Weisht’s is going to break out," Corrine summarized,"this came from Mr Sulin and little sister"

Garen noticed that Corrine used ‘i to’ instead of ‘possibly’, which meant that Corrine was 100 sure about it

"Su Lin’s father should have his own arrangements in mind for a situation like this Manila, please make trip to the western border and see if they need any help while gathering any information you can about the country behind these conflicts"

"Alright," Manila nodded, he softly squeezed Ankh’s hand and turned around to leave

Now all of Black Mark Association’s poas divided into three parts, one was the ‘Mark Group’ led by Manila All of these groups were disciplined and well organised individually, collectively they were the elites of the Black Mark Association

If it wasn’t for the Golden Hoop’s influence combined with Garen’s sheer power, the Black Mark Association would not have gone down so easily

However, with the way things are now, if they did not surrender to Garen’s side, they would only be e for what they did to hi, if Garen were to sent them to their deaths on some one way mission, they will not hesitate to run away Lucky for them, Garen seemed to treat everyone the sain with, maybe even nicer than before

Garen watched as Manila left

Each of Black Mark Association’s groups consisted of at least a few hundred, hters On top of that, there was their wide real estate portfolio, intelligence gathering bodies, hters and even assassins etc

Garen didn’t need to know tooas they served hih There was still the support of the Golden Hoop, White Cloud Gate and Leo all watching his back and ready to serve at ayour people you can begin taking over Galantia’s security Can you assign guards for key influential people in the city?"

Ankh nodded, and turned to leave as well

Corrine and Jack were left, awaiting Garen’s orders

"Jack, what’s the situation like noith Leo? Have they found Duskdune Shura’s reaze to Jack now

Jack and Cynthia were still substantially capable in intelligence gathering While they weren’t professionals, they were still better thanwith soroup sent back a telegram They found traces of Duskdune Shura and Charlotte by the Sand River Looks like the nee put out earlier worked," Jack responded i from his injuries The same injuries caused hi with it, his ht now he’s being chased by his eneside Charlotte Once we released the news, they responded pretty soon Looks like they can’t take it anymore"

Garen nodded

"There is no hatred between Duskdune Shura and I that can’t be settled He should’ve heard the news about ht with Palosa now, not to inally stolen by Behe to him Now let’s see what he has to offer to trade with us Last ti him, but now look at how the sides have shifted"
