After hearing the report from the desert bandits, many merchants in the hall turned their heads to look at Kant.
It was an unfamiliar army with ill intentions.
They would not believe that the troop had nothing to do with the table salt trade. Perhaps some noble was dissatisfied with Kant obtaining the table salt and wanted to come here to show off their might!
This was often the old noble families' way of intimidating the new noble families.
It was also applicable now.
Think about the noble families who once operated the table salt for the dwarves. Because of the appearance of table salt in the desert, it affected their business. Both sides were basically competitors now, and they did not ease up at all. They were competitors with direct conflicts of profit!
However, Kant's table salt in the desert was more profitable.
