For the next two days, Tenur and Amir heard nothing from Sefu. They just continued with their activities in Mero's store, keeping up with the store's repair while serving customers outside that establishment.
In the meantime, they hired new mercenaries to replace Sefu and Sati, and Amir contacted the allied families of this store locally.
More people were at their disposal through these acts, and the local powers that had their eye on Mero's store were warier than ever.
Beating a dead dog was easy, but the staff of Mero's store did not seem weakened after the previous incident. On the contrary, they acted so quickly and decisively that families and powers in Cusca were cautious in their actions.
Even the Nassar family, planning to act against Mero's slaves, took a step back in their plans and decided, for now, to only lower the prices of products that both their store and Mero's were selling.
