Despite not a lot of people believing the stories about the Star Porter's true strength, it soon spread to the different Savior communities.
Some treated it as nothing more than hearsay, some treated it as if it had a kernel of truth hidden within the stories, while some treated it as a challenge, as if they wanted to prove to the City that Atlan was not as strong as they said he was.
Of course, Atlan didn't care about any of that.
He walked through the streets of the Masamune District, where the commerce of the City was at its highest. Everyone was far too busy either selling their wares at a very high Soul Time price, or trying to get those prices down to somewhere they could afford.
The last time he was here, it wasn't this hectic. Sure, there was a lot of shouting and bartering, but now, it seemed as if it became a battlefield itself.
The customers, who were supposed to work together, were now fighting against each other.
