However, at such a moment today, the once crowded clubs and cafes were deserted, not even the owners and waitstaff were there.
At this moment, everyone was gathered in a building with pre-Victorian architectural features, a place that bore the heavy responsibility of the Empire's wealth circulation, showcasing the prosperity and authority of Britain—the London Stock Exchange, located in the heart of London.
The interior of the Exchange was adorned with exquisitely carved stone facades, exuding the complexity and solemnity of the Renaissance in its details. Tall arched windows allowed ample natural light to illuminate the trading hall.
Upon entering the main door of the Exchange, a unique scent of mixed paper, ink, and coins greeted one's nostrils.
