They were, as Hao expected, part of a rival guild. They decided to divide their people into two groups, one that would join the guild directly and the other would spread in the starting zones to scout for good players.
Also they had another task, which was to undermine any opposite guild and make it impossible for rival guilds to recruit a single player.
Just seeing the Illuminati guild badge on Rayan's chest made those players put this guild as their first and most important target.
It seemed that thread before the release of the game created a sensation in the game. So these players feared for the presence of one of that guild members here, and decided to lure him to a fight in the zone.
That would make Rayan get heavily punished by the system for breaking the law.
But Hao's interference just came in time to stop all that. The rival guild seemed to make a simple mistake here, thinking Rayan was all alone.
