— A Few Days Later - Prosperity's Gate City —
Prosperity's Gate City was a First Rank City, its prosperity rivaling even the capital of the Vermilion Bird Province, the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital. This city was also the ancestral land of the Ximen Clan. The wealth and power accumulated here alone were said to rival that of an entire royal dynasty.
And that was only the wealth within this single city. If one were to count the Ximen Clan's assets as a whole, their fortune could easily match that of an empire.
The Ximen Clan was an ancient family, rumored to have survived the Great War Era, an age said to be second only to the Primordial Era. Their centuries of accumulation and influence were no exaggeration.
