Valaran-Crawford Kingdom Border.
There was a small town called Aqualeaf Town located in the small region between the two kingdoms and wasn't affiliated with any of the two.
It was once a popular stop for merchants in between their travels, however it came to a grinding stop when it was taken over by the Hundred Snake Gang and became a bandit's nest in recent years.
The strength of Hundred Snake Gang was neither strong nor weak compared to the might of a kingdom, but they had their own advantages and was powerful enough to become the overlord of the region when they have no competitors.
The strongest of the gang, the gang leader, Ives, was only a 5th step Awakener Realm and ex-farmer, however the strength of the Hundred Snake Gang did not lie in the people but the snakes they reared and tamed with a special technique.
