Du You had figured it out: although the Dark Night Mercenary Group ranked high among visible organizations, it was because their influence spanned a wide area and they always did the dirty and tiring work for other major powers.
That ranking was nothing more than a mere formality, used primarily to deceive the common folk.
In the entire Dark Night Mercenary Group, there were only two sixth-tier powerhouses. They could handle ordinary tasks, but their overall strength was just so-so, and they had a bad reputation.
Because of their past conduct, they had offended too many people and had acquired numerous enemies.
Previously, with the backing of others guaranteeing them two sixth-tier powerhouses, nobody dared to retaliate against their strength.
