Remedy looked at him and said quietly,
"It has to do with the fact that large-scale attacks are easier to execute in the lower regions. Security is lackluster. Oversight is weak. Most sectors are… backwater."
Adam's jaw tightened slightly.
Sector 418 had been called backwater countless times by the heirs.
He had ignored it, since they complained about everything.
But hearing it from Remedy made him question if the heirs were right all along.
"So because the low-tier sectors are underdeveloped," Adam said evenly, "they use them as testing grounds."
"Yes," Remedy replied. "But not just that."
She kept walking.
"The destruction and death caused by those artificial rift mutations are necessary."
Adam's eyes narrowed.
"Necessary for what?"
Remedy didn't hesitate.
"To advance to the Saint rank."
Adam pupils constricted.
He knew there were extra steps needed to advance in rank beyond the Master rank .
But this…
This was different.
