Kapitel 220: First Day of Search

Continuing on their way out of the city, the group passed the Officers' post at the base of Peak Five, where they had the men of the area making way for them with respectful stances, once again this situation peculiar to some of them.

Liam couldn't deny the fact that he liked the feeling of being respected by mere strangers who knew nothing more than his position in the sect. Being a Division Chief wasn't all he was. In fact, it revealed nothing of who he was. But it gave him an automatic respect that he had fought hard to achieve in City Thirteen and hadn't been able to experience for more than a few hours.

And yet, the look of fear and that of respect differed greatly.

The fearful disciples of City Thirteen seemed only to want to stay away from him and not risk becoming his next victims. The Officers he met on his way today seemed to respect him and wanted a chance to serve him.
