A week had passed after Dong-hyun and Ji-woo got informed about the tier-3 Portal Gates hunt. Everyone was busy with their own schedule.
Ji-woo decided to skip the guild's hunts and continued to accompany Dong-hyun in training. In the meantime, he contacted Seok-jin about the Portal Gate business too. Unfortunately, the broker gave him a piece of sad news. Portal gates were currently scarce. The low tiers got reserved or bought by many small and mid-sized guilds, while the top ones got dominated by the big guilds. For now, no guilds had any intention of selling their Portal Gate properties any time soon.
The Hunters Association had also not held an auction for the Portal Gate for so long. It caused the brokers to wind down their Portal Gate business. And it made them focus on selling valuable and confidential information.
