“But Ascendant Creed hasn’t made a single move so far,” Liam said.

They had taken down quite a few of the Creed’s departments step by step, yet there had been no retaliation.

Now, there wasn’t even any communication coming from them.

“Ms. Reid, everyone in the league envies our base! Haylight Base is the strongest!”

“Ms. Reid, you’re the best!”

Their voices overlapped, loud and full of energy.
