There isn't a single good person in Searl.
On the ship from Pirate Islands to Byzantium City, Felix remembered what his mentor had said, although he himself wasn't a good person either.
He was a smuggler, working for a subsidiary of Old Silver Coins, responsible for doing shady jobs.
Felix's immediate superior was a High Tier wanderer, who sometimes boasted after getting drunk about having met one of the Five Fierce Women, the mastermind behind Searl, Sharella, and that his boss's boss also worked for a confidant, right-hand man, Black Hand-Lauren.
Felix usually thought his boss was bluffing, but recently he believed it, because his boss took on a big job with a huge payout.
"I have a route in the Pirate Islands."
"The risk is high."
"The reward is equally great, do you dare to do it?…"
