A couple of hours before Shin and his group cleared the Five Penance Training Grounds.
Maple Cloud City.
Arthur and the others were waiting for the reinforcements that were going to assist them in clearing the open dungeon underneath the city.
They were surveying the area to make sure that no one was lucky enough to stumble upon the entrance of the dungeon while they were still making their preparations.
Not long after, batch after batch of hooded players started to appear at the place, signifying that the members of the Trading Firm finally arrived.
Shiella strictly instructed Delusive Smile to make sure that no one would notice their movements in the city since it was going to be troublesome if their rivals noticed their actions. With that, she decided to split the members that they were going to send into small groups and let them enter the city in their respective ways.
