Ten years later.
In Purgatory City, at the Shadow Hunter Pavilion:
Maximus looked at the bustling store as he calculated his gains over the past decades.
With the puppet taking care of the shop, he didn't need to worry about anything else.
He only needed to tabulate the necessary resources and bought them every other day.
During these ten years, the reputation of the shop continued to grow.
Maximus had almost all the monopoly of lower-tier abyss source.
Furthermore, for higher-tier abyss source, although there was a confidentiality contract.
Many keenly noticed that all those who traded with him got what they wanted.
Every year, he could harvest the equivalent of over ten billion system points worth of abyss source just in the shop.
However, fame also came with danger.
Throughout the decade, Maximus and Skye faced frequent attacks from tier 8 squads.
