Ippe's lip twitched. This Theron was really lawless. Did he not know what the Mandate Guild was?
Maybe the only power that brazenly ignored them was the Seijin—and yet, it wasn't because the Seijin were so much superior to the Guild, but more like they were on an equivalent level in terms of power and influence.
No, it was probably more accurate to say that the Seijin were just at a level of power that no one dared to casually offend them without cause or reason.
The Seijin practically always monopolized half of the top ten spots on the Mandate Leaderboard. The problem was that their existence itself would always call down the most powerful Tribulations, because the Heavens carried the most ire for those who played with and looked into Karma.
Worse than that, if one extended this beyond the pure Seijin to their subjects, they probably controlled over 20 to 25% of the list.
