Chapter 173: Retaliation

Following Lucy's suggestions, Lucas paid a visit to the two commissions and cleared out his debts. To pull this off, Lucas had spent almost fifty thousand federal coins alone. Luckily, he had made a windfall amount and could do so.

After the matter with the two commissions were settled, the next wasn't the EVL but the alliance. Lucas had decided to ignore the EVL's statement.

It was already a verified fact that the EVL had no real authority over every vestige-smith, and membership wasn't compulsory. Although the statement would affect the opinions of the public on the Seven Sparks Forge, it was merely just that. In the end, the world was run by real benefits. As long as Lucas could ensure the quality of his vestiges, he would still have an abundant supply of customers. The EVL couldn't threaten them or force these people not to patronise Lucas, as that was the same as ruining their business and image.
