After some discussion, the clan leaders finally agreed to pay 25,000 Gold Coins per clan.
But they all disagreed with the second condition.
After all, paying the tribute was already humiliating and demeaning enough.
Especially such a large sum.
If they also had to provide hostages, it would be the equivalent of letting them shit on their heads.
Zhao Shizhang asked, "Clan Leader Qi, you said you've heard of this Zhou Hua before? What's his personality like? Is the second condition negotiable?"
Qi Hengying said with disdain, "Just empty pleasantries. What reputation? That Zhou Hua is nothing more than a bandit. With people like him, everything is negotiable. We're paying to avoid disaster, but this price is a little too steep."
Liu Xuanqi said, "Did your clans get a look at their Combat Power? Out of those 1,000 men, 300 are Lords. And while only a few are top-tier, if we really fight, it wouldn't be a flesh wound—we'd lose a limb."
