From MC's Perspective:
Thunderflame Faction:
It was past noon. Faction Leader Clifford had arrived in the main hall. He sat in the main chair and looked at the storage ring on his right hand with a relieved expression.
This morning, he had gone to various forces' territories to collect resources for Zack Lockwood.
Dean Jerome himself wanted Zack Lockwood to become a Black Mark Warrior soon. He permitted the use of essence stones to buy resources.
He had gone looking to purchase all three kinds of resources: the essence, body, and healing resources for Zack.
He was able to acquire only Class-8 resources. The Class-9 healing resources were hard to find. He had even found some stores that sold them, but they demanded an exorbitant price.
Eventually, he had to settle for the Grade-8 resources. He was not worried.
He was aware of Main Elder Austin and Ann's activities. Both were using their connections to find resources as well.
