The news of the Commerce Alliance Leader's demise stirred waves across the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain.
The eighteen Commerce Associations held an emergency Commerce Alliance meeting on the spot.
The Commerce Alliance Leader represented the eighteen Commerce Associations. In critical moments, they are a community with a shared destiny, and if the Alliance Leader is secretly harmed, it is imperative to seek revenge for the century-long prestige of the Commerce Alliance.
This is not about personal feelings, but about a common stance.
It is also the rule of the Commerce Alliance!
It wasn't until the succeeding Clan Leader, Tong Yaoyao, representing the Tong Family, confirmed that Tong Jiesheng did not die due to an external foe but within the Secret Realm, that the atmosphere on the scene eased.
Since there is no external threat, internal conflict inevitably follows.
