(Shout out to HeavensEdge on discord for writing this awesome chapter.)

Fengling City centre

It was warm, the sun was blazing in the sky and there was not a single cloud to be seen.

A group of twenty-plus was staring up a giant one-hundred-stories tall skyscraper. In fact, it was a 133-story tall skyscraper and, not too long ago, it used to be Ouroboros' famed main headquarters.

The skyscraper was literally huge, the outside walls were entirely laid out with French windows, which reflected the light from the sky back to the ground, into the eyes of the gazing spectators. The view was magnificent.

"Stone Bear, *Cough*, I mean Xiou Yu, are you sure this is the place?"

The young man, Xiou Yu, gulped and turned his head from the sky to the teenage girl next to him.

"Yes, Xin Ya, this should be the place."

"Then, are you sure we want to continue with this?" Xin Ya looked at him with doubtful eyes.

But before Xiou Yu could answer, a deep voice interrupted the conversation.

"Of course, the twenty-two of us travelled from all over the country for this reunion, only a coward would turn around!" Zhao Yang said full of resolve.

"""Yes, Purgatory Darkness""" everyone affirmed, after being riled up by the words of their leader.

Zhao Yang was clearly the de facto leader of the group and everyone looked at him with respect.

While Zhao Yang's encouraging words motivated these twenty-plus experts, any true-expert who had fumbled a little in the Realms of Refinement would have noticed the hint of doubt in his voice.

According to the information they found on outdated real-estate advertisements, the Headquarters' interior was huge. It was divided into multiple areas, such as offices, entertainment areas, training areas and rest areas. Ouroboros's original headquarters offered state of the art training facilities and thousands of virtual gaming cabins, not to mention what it had developed into over past few months.

Every internal member would receive their own living space and the simplest room was equivalent to a luxurious four-star hotel suite, while the top-level rooms were on par with five-star hotels suites However, the headquarters was no longer financially supported by the White Clan Group and four other companies, but had changed owners and now belonged to a single guild,

Zero Wing!

Zero Wing, a guild, founded a few weeks after the launch of God's Domain, which grew into a super-first Rate Guild without any background. It was simply unheard of.

The group passed through the glass sliding doors and entered the waiting lobby where they were welcomed by the cool air from the conditioned climate.The waiting lobby was laid out with high-class white marble which gave a soothing impression. Dozens of luxurious sofas were spread out throughout the lobby, and there were even VIP waiting rooms. Furthermore, each door was guarded by a pair of watchmen, equipped with assault rifles.

On the right and the left side were long marble reception desks; however, as most meetings were held in God's Domain, it wasn't very crowded. For this reason, they were received personally, by a gorgeous young woman, who appeared to be around her early twenties. She was wearing a discrete black office attire which any woman would wear in a business district, however her young alluring figure was impossible to ignore.

"Good afternoon and welcome to Zero Wing Headquarters, I am Ling Yin, how may I be of service?"

She smiled courteously and bowed elegantly; her disposition and movements were extremely well-mannered and was presumably a daughter of a Noble family.
