Yan Xing, having experienced a once-in-a-century transformation in the real world, deeply understood how cultural prejudice could turn people into paranoiacs.
Bringing the matters of the real world into the Magic World, one could analyze why the Eternal Commerce Guild suffered so many attacks in Nuta City. Besides Yan Xing having disrupted many people's livelihoods, it was mostly because he had a background from the Swamp.
If the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce had done these things, those who lost money would likely just accept their misfortune.
After all, business comes with profits and losses, and those who speculate must bear the risks of speculation.
Yan Xing believed... that in Nuta City, those coveting Count Theodore's power were few.
Those who sought to disrupt Nuta City naturally saw him as a thorn in their side and sought to quickly remove him.
Most of the others simply couldn't stomach the sight of barbarians profiting while they faced losses.
