Chapter 154: Train (7)
Rundel was the second-largest city in the Empire, following the Capital.
It was a major transportation hub, where all the Empire’s trading companies gathered in one place.
With so many merchants flocking to Rundel, money flowed freely, and because of that, Rundel had always been prosperous.

But human greed knows no bounds.
The wealthier one becomes, the more they desire even greater riches.
Count Hellion was no exception.

But this wasn’t just about money.
