News of Ryu's actions were suppressed at first and only passed among the most affluent and important. The details of this matter didn't make one of the most powerful families of the world look very good at all, and on the other hand… was it necessary?

The only reason that they would even need to spread such news in the first place was if they wanted to ruin Ryu's reputation… but what good would that be for them?

Such petty tricks and inconveniences were only necessary for the weak. In truth, they were the Dao Gods of the world. They could do whatever they wanted without having to give the slightest explanation. In that case, why should they waste their time?

However, what they didn't expect was that the Chaos Plane would let go of this chance. The moment news made it back to the Ice and Darkness Fiends, it was sent back to the Dao Gods of the Fiends and they made a completely different decision.
