Council of the Neutral Continent, Espat.
A few levels below the top most floor, many men and women in formal robes were sitting around a round table and discussing things. These people were the council members and working hours weren't over yet so they were busy with their discussion.
Suddenly, space fluctuated around them and everybody got up from their seats and were half wary and half on guard. They weren't panicked as one would've thought them to as they were well aware that anyone above their own ranks could enter and exit the headquarters as they pleased.
The headquarters was protected by a very expensive defensive barrier which ensured that not even 100 Emperor ranks would be able to break it if they tried. The barrier was made with the help of the Supreme ranks and hundreds of Emperor ranks and thus was very sturdy.
