Many warriors from various backgrounds had left their homes. They were secretly looking for Zack Lockwood. Many of them had formed parties of their own.
While other warriors were searching alone, none of them had spoken openly about their mission. If they revealed they were looking for Zack Lockwood, they would soon be hunted by the Star University Warriors.
The Star University had clearly issued a statement: they did not want any Black Mark Warriors or above to interfere in this matter. If they did, not only would they be affected, but the forces behind them would also suffer.
Thus, the warriors who were pursuing Zack Lockwood were under the Black Mark rank.
As time passed, the surrounding cities of Star City received visitors from many places. Clearly, everyone understood that a new wave of people had entered the city.
They were there for one reason: to find Zack Lockwood. But unfortunately for them, Zack Lockwood was not in this place.
