The International Association and the Crying Angels were both somewhat dumbfounded, especially the International Association. In fact, they had done something similar before, but the difference was that last time the Yunxia Association swallowed the loss without publicizing the matter. However, that previous incident involved the Mountain Ghost Association, which had recruited a Yunxia Card Maker who had grown up overseas and created a powerful S Rank card, possessing considerable deterrence in competitions. Someone from an Empire within the International Association grew covetous and deceitfully stole the card to make a copy. The result was that the Mountain Ghost Association was barred from ever using that card in competitions again. Although the International Association was warned by Yunxia, and some internal personnel became scapegoats and were expelled, considering Yunxia's consistent style, the Mountain Ghost Association still ended up swallowing the bitter pill.
