This was something that both Billos and Cale knew about. Furthermore, Cale knew something else as well.

�The Determination of Fire was found in the Pope�s secret area.�

Although it was said to be in the Singten Merchant Guild�s possession since about ten years ago, Cale had found this necklace among the Pope�s belongings.

What could that mean?

�Either the Singten Merchant Guild offered it to the Pope or the Pope ordered the Singten Merchant Guild to get it for him in the first place.�

It was bound to be one of those two options.

And that information would make the Singten Merchant Guild�s guild leader�s heart go wild with uncertainty.

The current relationship between the Church of the Sun God and the Empire explained everything for him.

�The Singten Merchant Guild is said to be good with politics, but they have their feet in both sides.

And that would be the unfavorable factor for them from here.

Cale thought about the merchant guild leader flopping like a fish caught in a hook. That image automatically filled his mind.

Cale was not planning on just taking a ton of money from him.

You shouldn�t return a weakness so easily.

Furthermore, there were two weaknesses this time.

The necklace they offered to the Pope and the slave trade.

It was easy to imagine how the Singten Merchant Guild had risen so quickly since about ten years ago.

The Alchemists� Bell Tower stopped using the orphans and children of the slums around that time. The Singten Merchant Guild was one of the main partners providing them with other people to experiment on since then.

That must be how they continued to grow.

Cale heard Raon�s voice in his head. Raon was still amazed.

� Human, I will collect about that much as well! Human, where do you plan on spending that money? Buy me some apple pies!

�Why not?�

Cale casually nodded his head.

Of course, he had already decided how he was going to use a portion of the money.

Cale had created two copies of the information regarding the Singten Merchant Guild that he had gathered through Ron and Freesia. JrNovels.com
