Lin Mu got interested in this so called Council of merchants and asked more about it. He discovered that it was composed of ten merchants, some of which represented large and prominent merchant families.
Though there were two names that caught Lin Mu's attention. The first name was none other than the Mu clan which Wu Hei had visited in his younger years. This was also the clan from which Lin Mu had disguised himself as.
The second name that caught his attention was actually an individual merchant who had made his own company and grown it quite a bit. He recently reached the point where he had managed to buy a position in the council by outbidding others.
This individual merchant was actually someone Lin Mu had met before, Jingming Shang!
"Tell me more about the Mu clan and Jingming Shang." Lin Mu asked.
"Hmm… the Mu clan is in a difficult state right now." The waiter spoke.
"Oh? Why's that?" Lin Mu questioned.
