"Silver, do you not have the complete details of all the items? Is the United Merchant Association not under the Central Bank anymore?" Linea mocked.

But, due to the losses and chaos that happened to them during the undead era, the United Merchant Association successfully broke through them. It was a very shameful moment. Hahaha!" Lina mockingly explained.
