The Bask Commerce Guild and the Cummings Family's team set out fully equipped on the fourth day after the Benevolence Festival, and that very day they made the headlines of major newspapers.
One could say that this news was filled with explosive points from top to bottom.
Firstly, it was the first large-scale expedition initiated by the people of Velitas since the restoration of the Magic Net.
Secondly, the cooperating parties were two groups of people who could not be more different – the Bask Commerce Guild represented the emerging forces that had risen in recent years, especially during the disaster period, while Lady Melvin Cummings represented the local powerhouses of Velitas.
Moreover, in order to make their political position sufficiently independent, the Bask Commerce Guild had specifically withdrawn from the Lion King.
"New Money" and "Old Money" differed in many aspects such as ideologies and styles of conduct, making the combination of this team quite peculiar.
