Under normal circumstances, Hun Tong would have been displeased to be interrupted by Yan Yi like this.
But now, Hun Tong was more eager to bring Yan Yi to his side, to have him speak on his behalf.
Hun Tong patted Yan Yi's shoulder, "You're truly a worthy member of our kin, much more reliable than outsiders. You can speak candidly to me, and I find that comforting. I had not anticipated that Tan Mo would be so audaciously bold. Framing me, he's taking a big risk as well."
Yan Yi said, "Given the situation, my lord, we still need to think about how to deal with the immediate crisis."
"I think, since you can't provide enough Gold Coins, why not… just give up the Golden Shiny!"
Hun Tong's face changed instantly, and he emphatically refused, "No! I just can't give up the Golden Shiny that easily, not when I acquired it after much difficulty and at great cost."
"Don't be scared by Tan Mo's tactics, he's just trying to intimidate me."
