Different but same

The last time around, the guild formed with the backing of Gu family was responsible for all of Liam's miseries. 

They took advantage of the in-game slave contract and oppressed several common people in the name of offering them new easy jobs and more money.

And since the game was booming and more and more corporations were sinking their resources into the game, many people had fallen for this trap thinking that this was simply a work contract.

But in the end, when everything changed, and the truth was revealed, the Gu family showed its true nature and refused to let anyone off.

They used human lives as meat shields and became even stronger after the apocalypse, thereby securing their position in the new world. 

Just the very thought of them stirred Liam's memories and made him bloodthirsty. Everything that he tried to forget was coming back up. 

Before today, Liam had no plans of doing anything to them, at least not this early.
