"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.
