Lightning Is the Only Way

Power Walker left Silent Walker and Broad Walker behind as he entered Opposer City. He didn't want the person that framed Silent Walker to run away. After all, if he felt that Silent Walker had returned, he might become scared.

As soon as Power Walker arrived in the city, he waited.

The person had to appear in Opposer City eventually.

Sadly, Power Walker couldn't see through the Formation Arrays that isolated the buildings. Because of that, he had to wait until Gravis showed himself openly.

He waited for nearly an entire century before Gravis showed himself to get his second paycheck.

When Power Walker saw Gravis, he locked down on him and remembered his Aura.

However, he didn't act immediately. Power Walker wasn't stupid. If Silent Walker could have a backer such as himself, so could others.

Power Walker wanted to kill Gravis immediately for daring to hurt his favorite child, ehm, junior brother. However, he had to be careful.

After remembering Gravis' Aura, Power Walker went to a gigantic, black building in the middle of Opposer City. The fact that this building was so big and in the center of the city meant that the organization running it was an incredibly powerful one.

Power Walker restrained his Aura and entered the building.

The hall had an oppressive and dark aura, and everyone inside the building wore equipment that hid their auras. Wearing such equipment in Opposer City was forbidden, but it was okay to wear the equipment here.

After all, the Information Pavilion paid a hefty sum to the guards of Opposer City every century to get an exception to that rule.

Power Walker had also hidden his Aura with equipment as soon as he entered.

Why?

Because people that came here always had enmities, and they wouldn't want their opponents to find out that they had dug up information on them.

The Information Pavilion had created specific rooms before the entrance that were isolated even from their perception. After all, if the Information Pavilion gathered information while their clients were trading with them, no client would be willing to buy from them. Wouldn't that just be exposing their whereabouts?

Power Walker entered the gigantic hall and went to a free clerk, who was also clouded in dark robes and a dark cloak.

These clerks knew an incredible amount of information due to their job, which made them a prime target to everyone. If someone could gather the information of these clerks with a Law related to the Spirit or brain, they could blackmail so many organizations. Even more, the Information Pavilion would get compromised if something like that happened.

Because of that, every clerk in the Information Pavilion had to be protected with no cost spared.

If one of the clerks was about to face their tribulation, they were required to inform the higher-ups so that they could purge the clerk's mind from sensitive information. This was something the clerks had agreed upon after joining the Information Pavilion.

If they refused to do that, they would be killed.

Being a clerk in the Information Pavilion came with incredible danger and draconian restrictions.

However, the pay was ridiculously high!

A Peak Immortal Emperor working there earned even more than Gravis!
