Even with hundreds of warriors dispatched to the space station and outpost, the Golden Mansion remained heavily fortified. A few thousand saint warrior guards, fifty magus, and three grand magus were stationed to protect it. Lord Hassa, aware of Ravi's cunning and the likely involvement of external forces, believed the traitor would not dare infiltrate the vault without substantial backing.

Tessa, fueled by righteous anger, led the way, closely followed by Emery, who remained vigilant to ensure her safety. Over twenty magus formed a protective entourage around them as they made their way to the vault.
