Today, the Vivian Merchant Guild in Haunfen City was a mess.
Yesterday, a hidden enchanted artifact had gone off in the lower underground training area.
Nobody knew who planted it.
When the light faded, a few maids were gone, so was one VIP guest.
And right now,
The main hall was packed.
Clerks ran back and forth with papers.
Guards stood at the doors and tried to keep people from pushing inside.
A group of merchants shouted over each other, asking if their goods were safe, if their people were safe, and who was going to guarantee that this wouldn't happen again.
After all, trust in a Merchant Guild was even more valuable than goods.
If everyone know that a VIP guest could disappear, then who was to say it wouldn't happen to them next?
Vivian knew that better than anyone.
She stepped onto the small platform near the counter and raised her hand.
The hall did not go silent, but it got quieter.
"The lower training area is sealed," she said.
