“Yes!” The port staff responded, their expressions tense as they stared intently in the direction of the docks, each fully alert and on edge.
Another twenty minutes passed, and the spatial vessel finally arrived at the dock, slowly coming to a stop. The staff rushed forward, quickly surrounding the already small dock, leaving no room for even a drop of water to pass through.
“Check them one by one! We can’t let any suspicious individuals slip through!” the Cloudshadow Sect member ordered coldly, standing a short distance away, his gaze fixed on the dock.
He watched as the passengers disembarked from the spatial vessel, each carefully scrutinized by the staff. “One commoner has managed to sneak across from the lower realm–make sure we find her!”

The passengers preparing to disembark from the spatial vessel felt anxious, caught off guard by the sudden events. The Cloudshadow Sect member, as if intentionally trying to intimidate everyone, raised his voice and shouted at the passengers on the ship, “The commoner who has illegally crossed from the lower realm into Forreb! We’ve already discovered you!
“I am a member of the Cloudshadow Sect,” he declared, his tone dripping with arrogance and authority. “This is your last chance–step forward and admit your crimes! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh!” His words carried an undeniable air of superiority, causing everyone to fear.
Raven heard his shout, but she didn’t realize he was targeting her. She glanced at the trembling passengers around her, a bit confused as she looked toward the dock’s exit. Meanwhile, standing not far from her, Dangelo and Julio looked visibly uneasy, their faces darkening as they braced themselves for what was to come.
“What kind of organization is the Cloudshadow Sect?” she asked. It could be a force that had suddenly risen in the five years she had been away from Forreb. Otherwise, there was no reason she should have never heard of it.
“Lower your voice!” Julio quickly warned Raven. “The Cloudshadow Sect is not an organization we can afford to provoke. From now on, never mention their name outside. This organization is well–known throughout Forreb.”
Julio continued in a low voice. “Their influence spans the entire country, and it’s said that the sect’s leader has close ties with the royal family and high–ranking officials in Deariton. Such a powerful organization has never faced any suppression from the authorities, and in fact, the higher–ups have quietly allowed the Cloudshadow Sect to exist.
“Tell me, with such influence, how could they not be terrifying? “Also,” Mr. Julio lowered his voice, speaking to Raven with a mysterious tone. “I’ve heard…
“The leader of the Cloudshadow Sect is said to be unpredictable and ruthless,” Julio whispered, his voice dropping even lower. “No one knows his real name or identity, but anyone who has crossed him has met a terrible end.
“Forget ordinary people–even the members of our prominent families show the utmost respect to the ordinary members. of the Cloudshadow Sect, afraid to provoke them. You must be careful not to offend them, or no one will be able to help you…”
Raven was even more surprised after hearing Julio’s words. She had only been gone for a few years, yet the royal family in Deariton had become so weak and ineffectual. To allow such a terrifying underground force to exist without taking action was completely illogical.
“Then why are they here in Frihamen City?” Raven continued to ask. “Organizations like theirs usually don’t show tertiary cities, do they?”
“That’s because the elders of the Cloudshadow Sect have come to Frihamen City,” Julio replied.

“This is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. While I don’t know what the elder of the Cloudshadow Sect is doing here in our small Frihamen City, any family that manages to gain the favor of the elder will see their future rise dramatically. Julio explained to Raven with a mysterious tone, “That family and its members will have a clear path to success!

“Of course, these are just our hopeful fantasies, Julio continued. “After all, the elders of the Cloudshadow Sect aren’t easily won over. And the Cloudshadow Sect has been quiet for years. The sudden appearance of their elder in Frihamen City has truly caught everyone by surprise.”
“Now their members are even at the entry port in Frihamen City conducting searches. Who knows, maybe something major has happened,” Julio added, his tone filled with uncertainty.
