The Alt Conglomerate had yet to announce anything about the Chamber of Commerce, or rather, the news was circulating only within a very small circle. Noel had only managed to obtain it thanks to the bait she had planted among the gangs around the Alt District.
The Misen Family's influence in District 25 was extremely limited. It could only exert influence over official Federation agencies such as the Arbitration Bureau, the Peacekeeping Forces, and the Administrative Center.
That left only the seedier channels as sources of intelligence... and this was after Karin had claimed, "Our Misen Conglomerate has a powerful intelligence division in District 25."
