Oh, there's plenty of these days in Vivec. I mean, Ralen Tilvur is my nearest competitor, and he's just a block away. And, oh, the business he does. I'm certain he's doing something shady, but I don't know what it is yet. He just gets all of the big orders.

You've been expelled. I cannot discuss this with you.

I had a plan for a reason, %PCRank. Now everything's fallen apart.

You handled both adeptly.

With the Beacon Company out of the picture, our only significant competition is Rivys Salavo.

You've dealt with Rivys Salavo. Now all that's left is repelling the Beacon Company.

As you can imagine, further ownership of the HCC would be a major boon for House Hlaalu. But as with all purchases, it's important to make sure we don't pay more than we have to. That means preventing a bidding war from erupting during the auction. A number of parties have announced their interest in the shares, but the only two of real concern are Rivys Salavo and the Beacon Company. I have plans for dealing with both.
