Bai Yan had just returned to the Wanyan ship when he heard the angry questioning voices.
"Damn it, we are absolutely not going to pay!"
"On what grounds are you demanding money from us!"
"I am a businessman from Country D, I am a legal citizen, you have no right to make us pay!"
On the deck of the Wanyan ship, the wealthy and nobles gathered together, facing off against Qin Jiuluo and others with furious expressions.
Qin Jiuluo was carrying out the orders Bai Yan had given, demanding protection money from all the wealthy on board the Wanyan ship.
However, they encountered unprecedented resistance.
After all, the Wanyan ship is not a pirate ship. Although the wealthy were afraid of Bai Yan, they were far less fearful than facing pirates; after all, not paying pirates means death.
"What's going on?"
Bai Yan frowned and walked onto the deck.
"Master, they refuse to pay the money."
Qin Jiuluo came forward and reported in a low voice.
