From the day Fredrick advanced to grandmaster, Black Jaws developed in quantum leaps.
The prestige and might grandmasters represent is no joke.
While most 'thought' they understood this-they actually didn't understand-Fredrick included.
That word 'grandmaster' slapped into his name literally changed the game.
If before, they had to exert a lot of effort to do something-now it happened without much effort.
Within the first week of attaining the grandmaster title, Black Jaws explosively expanded not much in territory as they did in influence.
For one the Emperor's plan to attack them was squashed.
Even if he had justification-it took a lot to kill a grandmaster.
The land of the last grandmaster battle was burnt, scorched and now barren of new plants.
Not to mention the resistance he'd face.
Except for Getrahan and one more, he couldn't guarantee the loyalty of the rest.
The attack on Avilla worked because they had something to gain.
