"Of the nine Champion-tier gladiators, my Lord," Nico began, his voice dropping conspiratorially, "five were sold to us by the Assassin's League."
Orion understood instantly. The Colosseum, for all the resources he had poured into it, could not have acquired so many Alpha-level fighters in just a few short years. Such warriors were the backbone of any faction.
But the Assassin's League, backed by Alexander's own organization, Blade Hall… they had other means.
Orion was certain that Blade Hall's agents were now spread across the continent like a spider's web. It was only logical that they would sell their captives—be they slaves or defeated targets—to the Colosseum, extracting one final drop of value from them.
It was a perfect, symbiotic relationship, a win-win that benefited the Colosseum, Stoneheart City, and the Horde as a whole.
