What was Marinda trying to do?
It wasn't a difficult thing to guess.
In Graham's diary, it was mentioned that there were only two secret assemblies in South Los, one being Marinda's 'Lady of the Long Night Salon', and the other was Rat Tail Alley on Rat Street—there might be other gatherings, but those wouldn't be organized, and good items would be extremely rare; if there were any, it would depend on luck.
After Marinda had eliminated two major trade guilds and absorbed more than a dozen medium and small ones, her power had expanded like never before.
So what was Marinda's next target?
It could only be Rat Tail Alley on Rat Street.
However, compared to those trade guilds, Rat Tail Alley, which had close ties with the mystic side, was not so easy to deal with.
It required not only cautiousness but also strength.
Even with the help of that earl, it was the same.
Or rather...
The earl was also not willing to directly confront Rat Tail Alley.
