Upon hearing this, the other guests were instantly displeased.
"Lord Ma, you can't be so unreasonable."
"That's right! Whatever grudge you have with the Shopkeeper, why drag us into it?"
"If you kick us all out, there are no empty rooms left in the city. Where do you expect us to go?"
A brutish look on his fleshy face, Lord Ma said bluntly, "Just have the Shopkeeper refund you double in Silver Coins. Then you can go scramble for rooms somewhere else. Problem solved, right?"
Upon hearing this, many of the guests stopped protesting and began to consider the offer.
"That... might actually work..."
Only a few disagreed. However, when Lord Ma's vicious-looking henchmen brandished their clubs threateningly, these common folk didn't dare to resist any longer.
Lord Ma bellowed, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and give everyone their refund, then shut this inn down!"
