Chapter 2791: Spare None (Part 3)

The lack of security in old Gates made the existence of a central dimensional hub both impractical and dangerous.

To make matters worse, even if the Courts had the space and the resources to establish such a place for each one of their branches, it would also mean that once one of them was exposed the others would quickly follow.
