The government would rather throw some of these businesses to an outsider rather than leave them to their Merchant Guild!
But the government also used this to strengthen the non-guild forces such as the noble families and other business families.
Now, the Merchant Guild's authority was divided into various parts and various forces in Gasha Country occupied this big pie.
The Merchant Guild's sudden decline immediately made a huge impact on other big guilds who relied on the Merchant Guild to sell their products or services.
Because of this, many of them had to take over their own business and manage them on their own, but since they had never managed their businesses...
Their business started to decline fast.
"The government is really ruthless. But I think they have long targeted this chance to weaken our authority...and that brat is just the tool."
