The way Chou Ao got thrown into the council hall, after enduring a full two hours of shouting, cursing, and every sort of verbal flaying, he then had a whopping sixty percent of his resource supply cut, and only then was he kicked back out, fleeing in disgrace back to his own residence.
All along the way, everyone else's openly mocking gazes seemed to shove him right back into that two-hour nightmare in the council hall, so much so that the moment he rushed into his estate, he started howling like a madman.
"Tell Chou Lian to get his ass over here! Get over here now!"
Chou Lian came, looking even worse than Chou Ao.
Who said Chou Ao was the only one suffering?
Even more embarrassing than Chou Ao was Chou Lian, who had mobilized countless people to spread the story, even going so far as to personally step in and fan the flames!
