The Prospect (End)
"That is information that I don't even know. As expected, your information network is terrifying."
Shanifa looks at me with amazement dancing in her eyes. Everyone can be a good information gatherer as long as they are paid enough. I facilitate every member of the Black Merchant. They have more than a recently commended Noble has. That is not much in my eyes, but it means everything to them. Unfortunately, many people don't deem them to deserve that much.
Shanifa is an intelligent woman. I bet she understands the significance of information gatherers. The reason why her intelligence teams are not as competent as the Black Merchant is not her unwillingness to facilitate them. Cresundia has too many to take care of. They have a lot of resources but don't have a single fang to bare. Military power is her concentration.
"Have you read about the potion's side effects, Commander?" Lemius comments. "I know you are a meticulous person, but I just want to confirm."
