Ji Liang smiled. "Are you trying to bully us because we're newcomers and don't know the rental prices in Guangshou City, Clan Leader?

The Grey Parrot Clan will stop at nothing to snatch our shop!"
Clan Leader Ma Xiao chuckled. 'Look, he's getting antsy,' he thought, then said slowly, "Rent has always been a matter of mutual agreement. It's just that our clan's business in this shop is so good that we were willing to pay that much.
