A series of coughs filled the hall.
"I..." White Tiger was left dumbfounded, his face twitching.
"What do you mean, 'since you've already done it'? I haven't even held her hand!" White Tiger thought.
Rakshasa lowered her head once again, her blush deepening. Amid her shyness, a hint of delight flickered in her eyes. She knew Billy was joking, but at least it indicated that he didn't oppose the idea. As everyone had mentioned, their time together had formed a different kind of bond. Although she wasn't sure if it was love, it had definitely transcended mere camaraderie.
"All right, let's talk about business!" Billy waved his hand to interrupt White Tiger's words.
Except for Judge and Soul chaser, the others knew little the feeling. Upon seeing Rakshasa's expression, Billy naturally felt happy for White Tiger.
Billy turned to White Tiger and continued, "So, did you get the information we needed?"
"Yes, I did. It was the Sanctum of Darkness that ordered them to act. They also got information on Samuel Watson's whereabouts from them." White Tiger replied loudly.
"But all the contacts they had with the Sanctum of Darkness were individuals wearing robes and masks, so he doesn't know exactly who they were. He only knows they were members of the Sanctum of Darkness Elders' Council."
"Sanctum of Darkness again?" Billy slightly furrowed his brow, his thoughts already pointing in that direction. "Have you gathered any information about the Sanctum of Darkness?"
"It's still too early to have complete information." White Tiger shook his head, continuing, "But one thing is certain, they're definitely supported by several major nations in the west."
"Alright," Billy nodded slightly, indicating that he had suspected this. After a moment of thought, he continued, "Do you know the structure of the Sanctum of Darkness?"
"I know the basics." Rakshasa answered.
"The Sanctum of Darkness has a structure similar to a cabinet, known as the Dark Cabinet. Most of the major decisions of the Sanctum of Darkness are made through this organization."
"Among the seats in the Sanctum of Darkness, half of them are open to other forces within Place of Darkness as rewards for their contributions."
"Why do these forces want to secure more seats in the Sanctum of Darkness? On one hand, it offers them significant resource support, and on the other hand, it gives them a chance to participate in the Dark Cabinet's decisions."
"Besides the Dark Cabinet and the Council of Elders, the most publicly known aspect of the Sanctum of Darkness is their enforcers, known as the Lawkeepers."
"The Lawkeepers are divided into nine different levels based on stars, with one star being the weakest and nine stars being the strongest."
"Both the Lawkeepers and the Council of Elders members wear robes and masks and do not reveal their true identities."
"Besides this, I haven't learned much else yet."
"Do you know the location of their headquarters?" Billy asked, glancing at Rakshasa.
"I don't," Rakshasa shook her head. "Even the people within the Sanctum of Darkness don't seem to know unless they reach a certain rank. However, the Sanctum of Darkness is scattered across eight branches in Place of Darkness, which should not be too difficult to locate."
"Alright," Billy nodded again, then turned to White Tiger. "You have one month to gather information on the strength of the eight major branches of the Sanctum of Darkness."
Billy had a strong sense that the existence of the Sanctum of Darkness posed a significant threat to Glavale, even more than he had initially suspected.
