Lin Mu was surprised that the other council members had accepted Jingming Shang's words so quickly.

'So the saying merchants will sell their mothers and children if it bring them fortune is true, huh…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Putting these thoughts aside for now, Lin Mu focused on the task at hand and continued to observe the council.

"Well, then who wants to start first?" Jingming Shang questioned.

He gazed around at the council and finally settled on the old man who had spoken the first time.

"Why doesn't senior Shantung start first? You are the oldest of us all, so this honor should go to you," Jingming Shang said with a thin smile.

The old man who was named Shantung didn't mind Jingming Shang pushing him at the front and took it with ease.

"So I'll reveal to you all that we have a backer currently willing to get a seat in the merchant council. While we could add another seat while keeping the Mu clan in there, getting the approval from the royal family will be difficult." Shantung said.

"Is that why you want to remove the Mu clan from the council?" One of the middle aged men who wore a single earring on his right ear asked.

"If it was like that, I would have long since done it. But no… the backer wants something else… they want the seat of the Mu clan specifically. In simple words, they do not want the Mu Clan to exist." Shantung revealed.
