"The infiltration of Chaos far exceeds our imagination," said Malin.
Seated at the edge of the rooftop shooting spot, Malin looked at the mansion before him in the southern part of Carterburg. The owner here was Dagu Shipien, a prominent merchant who commanded a fleet with three three-masted merchant ships and two large four-masted sailing ships. He was Carterburg's leading merchant and currently the only neutral voter in the Commercial Guild.
(The president of the Commercial Guild had two votes, followed by eleven other voters, typically the most respected local merchants. These thirteen votes were tools that came into play with each decision made by the Commercial Guild.)
If not for confirming with Psychic Vision that the targets inside the mansion were indeed Chaotic Believers, no one would believe that such a distinguished merchant could be a sleeper fish of the Chaos Cult.
