In this prosperous age, you wouldn't see mountain bandit gangs hacking each other to pieces like in some martial arts TV show.
But the infighting among the elite was just as ruthless, if not more terrifying.
Take now, for example. In broad daylight, these people actually dared to impersonate official Government Officials from the Court!
They've even blockaded the surrounding area!
And they intend to slaughter every single person in this establishment!
