”Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME!” Said a man with a handlebar mustache and dressed in a red jacket, black pants, and a black high top hat He was the auctioneer of the event, and was standing on a stage in the middle of a massive arena, next to a s sure that he had the attention of the participants of the event, he added ”Letto the rules of the House of Merchants, violence is severely prohibited and the buyers of an object will be protected as long as they'll reside within our lovely Golden Nugget After all, we are merchants Not bandits”

The enerate power However, in order to prevent one fa the faction's earlier days, and protect this capitalistic paradise, strict rules had to be followed The most i or robbing the objects of another person

At first, the faction had existed just like a normal, yet massive company but due to its lack of leadershi+p, constant wars ast the armies of mercenary hired by he merchants would start al the weakening of both the mercenary faction, and the merchant faction

In the end, the two factions had forreeroup to assign for each job that came froroups would have to refuse the jobs that required them to attack any of the poithin the merchant faction

That way, the ainst each other, and the nu with their faction's overall power

This syste in the shadow, but if a fa, they would become outcasts While not the type of outcast which one was allowed to put a bounty on to the universal government, they would lose all of the support of the faction, and if a single powerful individual decided to destroy theer to stop them

Seeing that only a portion of them turned to look back at him in interest, the auctioneer added ”Feel free to leave, but you will lose a colossal opportunity!”

Caught by the words of the auctioneer, a few individuals stopped and went to sit back in their original seats
