Meanwhile, back in the center town of the Grafted Cluster, Bulren found himself pacing back and forth in worry. It had been a few weeks since Hestu arrived to help him, but he had made no progress in uniting the Grafted Cluster into Flarecorp's banner. In fact, he was slowly losing his influence in business as everything was being swallowed up by the Reborn company.
Hestu eventually returned from Batchrock Town, having reported to his King to expect good results in the Grafted Cluster. So when he arrived in Bulren's mansion, he was stunned to see Flarecorp crates just sitting around in a warehouse.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Hestu screamed. "Get me Bulren. Now."
Bulren arrived in the warehouse with anxious steps. He bowed as he greeted Hesu, but the man didn't seem to be in such a good mood for pleasantries.
