Scare
It turned out that the reason this guy altered the space gates so that it created a problem for Gail to enter is that a young master of the clan, who is the son of a core elder is trying to court a young lady.
And that young lady happened to be the granddaughter of the grand elder incharge of the vacation spot.
So, the young master bribed this guy to lock the spatial formations and nodes a bit so the grand elder who went to meet the clan leader wouldn't be able to return immediately.
Both of the events are not related at all.
It appeared like some kind of coincidence. But when they looked at it that way, they could only think of the most recent even that they almost ignored because of the coincidence of mercs appearing and Jyon Vacationing.
Gail decided that he would go deeper and investigate, no matter how ridiculous the reasons and coincidences might be.
