It wasn't until over an hour after the meeting ended that Nie Yan received news from Guo Huai: Cao Xu of the Cao Xu Century Financial Group had been to Moonlight City. The Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors had received substantial financial support from the Cao Xu Century Financial Group, a total amount exceeding five million Gold Coins, delivered in three batches, which made Nie Yan marvel at the generous spending of the Cao Xu Century Financial Group. He realized he had underestimated their financial strength.
Many of the investments of the Cao Xu Century Financial Group were not known to the public. No one had an exact idea of how many shops and industries within both the Viridian Empire and the Satreen Empire belonged to the Cao Xu Century Financial Group; perhaps only Cao Xu himself knew.
Beyond this information, Guo Huai also discovered that Cao Xu had over a hundred confidants who had secretly rushed to Calore City. It was still unknown what they were plotting.
