Under Fujin's gaze, Arthur quickly learned the origins of Joe, Yula, and Lucius—
Among them, Joe was the fourteenth son of the president of the Reepra. Qiao Commerce Guild, with no hope of inheriting the family business, nor did he possess a diligent spirit, epitomizing the typical prodigal son.
Yula's background, however, was much richer.
Born in Old Town, Yula had eleven names and initially seduced others, engaging in minor extortion before, with age, she grew bolder, setting her sights on the middle class.
After three successful exploits, Ms. Yula's ambitions expanded further as she began collaborating with the 'Inland River Cult.'
Or, to put it accurately...
Back then, it was called 'Inland Waterway Mutual Aid Association'!
Initially, it was a small organization founded by commoners living along the Inland River to better survive together.
Similar organizations were plentiful everywhere and went completely unnoticed.
