Giyon's rapid expansion using small merchants in all of the areas is not really appreciated by the big merchant groups and rightfully so.
They were just imagining large-scale profits that they could reap with the Energy barriers, in fact, they don't even need a wholesale price from Giyon, they are ready to pay the retail price she is selling at her shop and are still confident that they can make a profit.
But now the situation is completely out of their hands.
Giyon's move was sneaky. For the first few days, she completely dodged everyone saying that she doesn't have any thoughts on expanding her business and only wanted to stay in this one place, and just when everyone is thinking that it might be true, she made this big nasty move that caught them off guard.
