Zeus, Tempo, and Gojo arrived at the Merchant Union and were allowed into a large council room as they waited for the representative of every merchant group to arrive.
The Union was made from the collective power of fourteen merchant groups that each held power over a large section of land, making them more akin to an empire with multiple kingdoms under it than a single nation. There was no single emperor or ruler, and all decisions were made by this council as every merchant group voted.
A few servants served them a few drinks and food while they waited, and a few minutes later, the exhausted representatives arrived out of breath. It seems that they rushed here as soon as they were notified that Gojo and his group arrived.
The room itself was massive, almost enough to be called a hall. The round meeting table was massive and made of steel and gold, filled with fruits, drinks, and, most importantly, a whole set of golden tableware to show the merchants' wealth.
