Chapter 31

Looking for decent lumber in the mall or office buildings was a fruitless endeavor, and the museum had long been submerged. But there was one place that might've still held some promise.

Griffith was globally renowned as a major furniture manufacturing base, and the International Furniture Expo Center built in Rockdale had become a high value landmark. Every year, without fail, it hosted the Global Furniture Expo. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the expo, which was grander than ever before. Promotions had been rolling out half a year prior, practically covering everything.

Not just ebony, but other valuable woods like yellow rosewood and old sandalwood were also showcased at the convention center to promote furniture culture worldwide.
