Levi nodded in understanding, as this was the exact situation he had read about in the network shared by many surviving Rifters... those same Rifters and their families hadn't hesitated to unite for a class-action suit against House Zen in the Cricetii Clan Elementary Courthouse that handled such disputes.
Since the suit involved a relatively well-known Noble House in the business of selling reinforced artifacts, it drew decent attention from the public. This attention made the situation even worse for House Zen... especially when they ended up losing the lawsuit!
The details about the suit were kept private since it was settled with an immense sum of money... alas, even when the defendant Rifters kept their mouths shut per the settlement terms, the damage was already done.
House Zen had lost about 99% of its customer base, as no one was foolish enough to buy a flawed reinforced artifact that might get them killed.
