194 Returning to the scene of the crime....

In the main hall, Orist and his people were sitting on pins and needles; It's been twenty minutes, and still, the woman hasn't shown up with the money.

What were they to do? Every minute sitting here means another minute they might be exposed.

Yet, they couldn't say 'forget it' and leave, nor could they sneak out. They are now under the surveillance of the clan leader, he would definitely find something strange if everyone just disappeared.

Damnit! Where is this woman!? She is the only reason we are still here!

Done with watching these people squirm in their seats, Mika decided to get this over with. Obviously, her mother doesn't plan to come back, it was up to her to find out what these people did and expose them.

"So what you guys do?" Mika's first question alone sent red flags through the group's minds.

"Um...you can say they're merchants..." Orist answered.
