“Human! I can’t connect with Clopeh Sekka's video communication device! He must be busy!”

Unfortunately, Cale was unable to contact Clopeh Sekka right away.

‘Should I call Witira instead?’

He thought about the Whales Witira and Paseton but decided to push it off for later.

“I guess we will first go visit the Singten Merchant Guild Leader.”

Cale put the top's whip down and opened the map Rosalyn gave him. He then looked out to the night sky over the Mogoru Empire’s capital.

He needed to be back before morning.

“Damn it!”

Clang!

A glass cup crashed into the wall and broke into pieces.

Plavin Singten, the Singten Merchant Guild Leader, felt suffocated thinking that the broken glass resembled his own future.

He felt as if those sharp glass shards would be pointed at his neck.

‘Who knew it would end up like this?!’

Plavin Singten clutched his head with both hands.

“…Guild leader-nim.”

“Be quiet.”

Plavin Singten just clutched his head even harder without looking at his trusted subordinate who called out to him.

The trusted subordinate shut up after seeing that the usually calm and collected guild leader who only focused on his personal gains had reached his limits.

It was because he was in a similar situation.

The trusted subordinate sitting across from the merchant guild leader quietly put down the wine glass in his hand.

He and the Singten Merchant Guild leader were drinking wine with their late dinner.

Plavin didn't even look at his quiet trusted subordinate as his mind was in a chaotic state.

‘…The crown- the Alchemists’ Bell Tower was destroyed!’

The Singten Merchant Guild.

This merchant guild had risen to the position of being one of the top five merchant guilds in the Mogoru Empire in just 10 years.

The Singten Merchant Guild was famous for being close with the crown.

But that was not the only reason they grew so much in a short period of time.

‘Black magic! I should never have been involved with it!’

The Singten Merchant Guild had sold people off to the crown and the Alchemists’ Bell Tower for their experiments.

Those people were slaves they kidnapped through human trafficking in other nations around the Western continent.

Plavin Singten had earned a chance to get close to the crown and the Alchemists’ Bell Tower while profiting immensely through these slaves.

He opened his mouth to speak.

“You got rid of all of the evidence?”

Plavin had ordered his trusted subordinate to get rid of all evidence related to the human trafficking and slaves as soon as the Alchemists’ Bell Tower battle ended.

“Yes sir, everything is destroyed.”

They had gotten rid of the evidence in the capital as soon as possible, so the trusted subordinate was saying that there were no traces anywhere to tie them to it.

“You made sure nobody saw you?”

“Guild leader-nim, of course I made sure nobody saw me.”

“…You know that is not what I am talking about.”

Plavin’s eyes turned cold.

The trusted subordinate bowed and responded to Plavin's statement.

“Yes sir, all of them are gone. They will all come up as missing.”

The merchant guild leader finally started to smile.

“Good. Exactly how it should be. People and evidence as well. We have to get rid of them even if they are on our side.”

The trusted subordinate gulped.
