Although Dime And Prime Company alone was not enough to intimidate Maide, an assassin organization like Inferno Ring sufficed to terrorize a lawful businessman like him.
Entities like Dime And Prime Company and Hachi Company belonged to the lawful, legitimate side.
In spite of it, Maide, as the director of Hachi Company—a lawful organization, was definitely working with a black market entity when he was able to solidify Hachi Company's status internationally all this while.
Therefore, Inferno Ring was certainly not a foreign organization to Maide and his business stakeholders. They were well aware of Inferno Ring's status in the world back then.
It was not surprising that Maide was shocked hearing what Yun Jian said just now. Even if he worked with a black market entity as Hachi Company's director, it was nothing compared to Inferno Ring—forget about taking down an organization like Inferno Ring's scale!
