Scot Moran heard the commotion from the other side of the formation, and his subordinates quickly reported to him that there was a group of four approaching them.

"Who are they? Is it the tower's inhabitant?" Scot Moran asked his Vice Guild Leader as they headed to the other side of the formation.

"I think they are one of the Tang Empire's teams, three people and one elf," The Second Vice Guild Leader, Hurst Milton, told Scot Moran, and his voice was kinda shaky. It was the sign of nervousness he showed externally. Of course, after the show of the Tang Empire's power in the Earth Tournament, no one was not afraid of the Tang Empire, even if it was just four people. Not even a single fighter from any faction could win against the Tang Empire's members.

Scot Moran nodded his head as only the Tang Empire had an elf with them. On top of that, he heard that the Tang Empire was the first faction to enter the tower. He quickly figured out why his Vice Guild Leader concluded the small team was from the Tang Empire with those two clues.

"What should we do, Guild Leader?" Hurst Milton was visibly nervous. Tang Shaoyang and his faction managed to plant the seed of fear in the others during the Earth Tournament for him to be this nervous. But of course, it is also because the Tang Empire was openly hostile to the World Government. The Blue Vest was part of the World Government, and he was nervous because he was afraid the Tang Empire would attack them because of that. The notion of fighting back just never crossed his mind.

Scot Moran let out a sigh secretly. His first Vice Guild Leader was too bold and arrogant, and the second Vice Guild Leader was too cautious and timid. The exact opposite characteristic, but he liked Hurst Milton more because the guy did his work meticulously. "Let's meet them first and respond to their following actions. There's no need for us to kill each other this early.

The Blue Vest Guild was in an awkward situation to meet the Tang Empire this early. Even though it was just a small team, he did not want to fight them right now, even though the World Government and the Tang Empire were at odds. Scot Moran did not want to be the faction that started the war between the World Government and The Tang Empire, or else they would be Tang Empire's main target. If that happened, the Tang Empire would focus on the Blue Vest Guild, and it was not something he wanted.

"Who are you? Identify yourself!" As Scot Moran and Hurst Milton got closer to the other side, they heard the familiar arrogant voice. It was Donald Callahan''s voice, the first Vice Guild Leader of the Blue Vest Guild.

Scot Moran and Hurst Milton picked up their pace when they heard the voice. Both did not want to escalate the situation unless the Tang Empire started the fight first. Scot Moran got out of his team formation and got to see the small team. He quickly scanned the three people and one elf, and he recognized two of them. The elf was one of the fifteen fighters from the Tang Empire, and the young man was someone in a high position in the Tang Empire.

"Step back, Donald!" Scot Moran immediately called his first Vice Guild Leader to step back before the situation escalated. He could not believe his Vice Guild Leader did not recognize the elf and Lu An. "I will take over from here on."

Donald Callahan looked at his Guild Leader and nodded his head. He returned to Scot Moran's side and whispered, "They are from the Tang Empire, Sir. This is our chance to take them down since there are only four of them." He recognized the group was from the Tang Empire, so he tried to create a scenario where he could justify killing them.

Scot Moran looked at his Vice Guild Leader before looking back at the Tang Empire's group. There were only four of them, and he had three thousand people with him. Without a doubt, they had the numbers to overwhelm the four people. Without a doubt, this was a golden chance to reduce the Tang Empire's strength.

"No, let's not attack them, Sir. We are in an unknown place with numerous unknown possibilities. There's a chance that we need to work together with the Tang Empire to clear the first floor, so better not sour our relationship with them," Hurst Milton hurriedly whispered to his Guild Leader. "Remember the Tower Break mechanic, Sir. If we fail to clear the first ten floors within a year, all creatures inside the tower will invade the Earth." Hurst Milton looked into the big picture instead of thinking of the short-term goal.

"Why are you so scared, Milton? We have the numbers, and if we killed them all, the Tang Empire would never be able to figure out that we kill them unless there's a traitor among us," Donald Callahan did not like the timid Milton and immediately argued back.

This was a headache for Scot Moran as both Vice Guild Leaders' arguments made sense. However, he had to take more risks if he chose to kill this team.

"What if they have long-distance communication? Don't forget the Communication System; they can contact the main force that they are being attacked, and we will be done for if The Emperor comes. Let's not take the risk, Sir." Hurst Milton shook his head repeatedly.

"I am sorry, Milton. But this is our only chance to get rid of the nuisance. Also, the Communication System can't be used inside the tower for some reason. I tried to send a message to you just now, but the Communication System is disabled until we clear the first floor. That means they can't contact their main force," Scot Moran took the risk and decided to fight.

"Get ready to fight, Sir," Revalor warned Lu An. He could hear clearly what the opposite party whispered in his ears. Aside from his sharp sight, he had keen hearing too. They were too loud for whispering, and he overheard everything.
