One week later.
At a location that had been recently chosen to be the new clandestine meeting place for those from trade families who wished to talk, multiple people had just begun to arrive accompanied by squads of Mages and Fighters.
An hour later, the meeting began inside the room that had been constructed just that morning.
"Families Bonugo, Kotares, Juniber and Anifares have arrived. Let the meeting begin."
As the official butler who had been appointed to take care of both the duties of checking everyone who was coming and the job of taking care of their needs said these words, the meeting officially started after the door closed behind him.
There were only 4 people in the room, with all those who had accompanied them waiting outside. Of these four, two were men, and two were women.
Of the two men, one had a potbelly, but the other looked like a Fighter: lean and strong.
It was he who stood up to speak first.
