At the guide platform, Elliot Patel is accused of cheating and attacking the guide, risking elimination from the game. He insists he only wants to report Colin Sanders for hacking. Colin, claiming to be the richest and most powerful player, dismisses the accusation and challenges Elliot, asserting his dominance through wealth and in-game influence. After the system confirms Colin is clean, Elliot refuses to leave, escalating the conflict. Colin offers to hand Elliot over rather than waste experience points, and foreign reinforcements Nick and Mendelian arrive to back Colin. Meanwhile, Elliot reaches level 10, preparing to confront them later in the Ghost Wailing Forest.
