Marcus sighed. He didn't understand anything anymore. They had planned to show off the power of the association, and to be honest, Maya had already accomplished that. Although they tried hard to hide it, he could tell that the other major guilds were panicking.
But now what was Cipher planning by challenging everyone?
He glanced at the other guild masters, and they also seemed deep in thought, trying to understand his intentions. Still, they remained seated, not daring to make a move. Although they felt Cipher wasn't as simple as he seemed, they also felt it wasn't appropriate to participate in an all-out battle against a single person given their position.
After all, there was no benefit to this. If they won, then it'd just be expected, but if they lost... they'd never get to hear the end of it. But the more time went on, the more it seemed they didn't have a choice as people kept chanting "Cipher vs the World!"
